One of the easiest and fastest way to make money online in through affiliate marketing. This is when you send visitors to someone else’s product sales page, they make the sale and deliver the product, and you get a percentage of the sale price as you commission (usually 50% or more for digital products).
The benefits of this are
You can get started almost immediately because you don’t have to create a product, write the sales page, design the website, develop marketing materials, or set up the ordering, billing & delivery system.
You have almost no investment of time because you don’t have to do the customer support or deal with billing or technical issues.
You have nearly zero risk because you already know the product sells. So if you send visitors you will get paid.
Looking at these benefits, it’s clear that affiliate marketing is the way to go!
The downside is…
After all your hard work of generating traffic to the sales page, you will never see any of those visitors again. Most of them will not buy on their first visit, which means you’re losing over 90% of the traffic right off the top. And of the 10% or less that do buy, the product owner will be able to sell to them again, but you will not.
What’s the solution?
Simply put, you need to capture the name and email of your visitors *before* sending them to the product sales page. This way you can follow up with them and keep sending them back to the sales page to increase your chances of making the sale. And if you’re really on top of your game, you’ll then send to a pre-sales page in between.
The video squeeze page is where you’ll direct your traffic instead of directly to the product sales page. It captures the name and email of your visitors and puts them into your autoresponder, which then begins sending out the 5-part email series. Then it redirects them to your pre-selling pages after they subscribe to your email series.
All of this together increases your chances of making the sale by up to 500% so it’s well worth the effort of setting it up. And once it’s set up, it runs automatically - you just keep sending visitors to the squeeze page.
If you don’t have the time or expertise to set it all up yourself, you can use something like Affiliate Silver Bullet. Services like this design the enter system (the video, the video squeeze page, the email series, the content pages, etc). The benefit is that it’s much less expensive then you could do it yourself, and it’s instantly set up. The downside is that other people will be using the same affiliate tools as you. But the internet is pretty big, so this isn’t much of a concern.
The other route you can take is to hire people on Elance to create and implement the various aspects for you. Either way, it’s an important step that you need to take if you’re going to be serious about your business.

You may not know this, but I was a radio personality for 20 years. I got paid for my voice (among other related talents such as writing and producing radio “spots”, aka commercials).
This is something my colleague Todd Gross and I have in common. The only difference is that Todd got paid to speak on camera for a TV station as a weather man!
Over the past two years, Todd - the Internet Marketer, Weatherman, and Announcer (on the air now for 30 years) - has become “The Voice of Internet Marketing”.
You’ve probably heard his voice before. In fact, if you joined Squeeze Page Videos last year, then you saw his face and voice in those videos. Or if you’ll recognize him from his recent site that created brandable affiliate review videos for Clickbank products.
Why am I telling you this?
3 reasons:
1. Like video, audio drastically increases sales conversions from the same amount of traffic.
3. If you want a professional like Todd to do it for you, then I’ll show you how to do so.
Regarding #3..
Todd can only make a limited number of “voice overs”, but has agreed to open up another set in about a week from now. His last set sold out in 1 day! That’s how much his service is in demand.
Here’s what to do next:
Go to the following page to find out more how you can get FREE audio editing software and video instruction set so you can make your own audios and get more info on how to get Todd to be your “welcoming voice” too!
I was watching the Disney movie, Meet The Robinsons today and one scene really caught my attention that’s a very powerful lesson in life and business.
I’ll explain.
A boy named Louis was a bright inventor who was trying to invent a time machine. Well, it didn’t work.. at first, that is.
Long story short, an evil foe from the boy’s future came back to get revenge on him. But another young boy from the future also came back to protect Louis.
The young boy from the future took Louis into the future. It was there that Louis met a family of inventors. While sitting around the dinner table, someone brought out a peanut butter and jelly “gun”. Louis was surprised to see this gun because he himself had invented such an apparatus!
Well, just like Louis’ invention, this one didn’t work properly either. But his new friend from the future knew that Louis was an inventor and announced this to everyone and suggested Louis could fix the pb&j gun.
Louis gave it a shot. And, well, it failed.
He was devastated and upset that it didn’t work and apologized to everyone emphatically. But to his surprise, everyone cheered Louis shouting, “congratulations, you failed!”
It was then that various members from this family of inventors proclaimed they wouldn’t have achieved their great successes if they had not failed first! They were thrilled with the failure because they knew that success was much closer as a result.
What a great and true message and lesson.
So whatever your challenges, whatever lack of success you’re experiencing.. in the words of Walt Disney, “keep moving forward”.

Secret Affiliate Code launched today (June 19). It caught my attention and my wallet. Why did I invest in this?
Let me ask you.. Have you ever wondered how some affiliates get all of the free traffic? Have you ever wondered how to exploit web 2.0 to the fullest?
Well a guy named Craig Beckta is one of those guys that has mastered both. I know what you’re thinking.. who is Craig Beckta? You’ve never heard of him right?
It turns out Craig is just an average guy who managed to secretly join the ranks of the super affiliates and earn the respect of the gurus at the same time. All with free traffic methods and without a mailing list…
Just to prove Craig (and SAC) is for real, he managed to make 6K in one week using only free traffic methods. I don’t know about you…but that’s impressive. If you’re sick of losing money on PPC traffic, then that fact immediately gets your attention. It got mine!
Fast fact - Craig uses powerful landing pages as a pre-sell strategy. He combines that with Web 2.0 strategies.
In the Secret Affiliate Code, Craig exposes the inner workings of a $6,484 landing page.
As you probably already know, having the right landing page can make or break your affiliate campaigns. It could make all the difference in the world. Do it right and rake in the cash.
Screw it up and you make zip, zero, zilch…
Don’t know about landing pages? No problem. Craig spells it out for you.
This affiliate marketing system also shows you the very best methods to turn your Blogs and Squidoo lenses into cash sucking machines.
Yeah, I know.. “cash sucking machines” sounds like hype. But Craig can say something like that because that’s what it feels like to him after he pulled in thousands tapping into recently popular product launches using nothing but free traffic!
What do you get for you money?
The 151 page Affiliate Code guide
The ‘cracked the code’ manual
4 audio interviews + transcripts. Over 2 hours of content from experts like
- Willie Crawford, Eric Rockefeller, Alex Goad and Charles Kirkland.
Unannounced Bonus! Hint: think Google and _ _ atch (mini ver.)
15 video tutorials where Craig shows you exactly how and what he doesThat’s not all. Check this out… Craig will post new videos based on customer feedback! How cool is that?!
There’s no upsell. And the price is exactly what I expected to see for a product like this. But there’s a “price twist” which REALLY makes this extremely affordable for anyone to get their hands on this system!
There’s a “Secret Code” hidden on the sales page that knocks $20 bucks off the already affordable price. So how do you crack the code?
You’ll find numeric codes in 3 places (if I remember correctly) on the sales page. You align those up with the alphabet to form 3 words. The words tell you where to go on the page to find the discount link.
Interesting method to create interaction with your page. I won’t spoil it for you. But I’ll save you some time if you don’t want to have fun deciphering. When you exit from the page, you’ll receive a $20 discount offer
Who’s this for?
Anyone who isn’t making money online yet. If you’re not making money, then that means you’re not following a plan. SAC is a step-by-step plan that allows you to duplicate Craig’s system.
It’s also for anyone who wants to increase their current income online. If you’re new to Web 2.0 and free traffic strategies, then this is a great way to fast-track your learning curve!
Bottom line — If you want (or need) a system to follow that is already working, no theory, no bull, for making free affiliate money, you have nothing to lose by investing in Craig’s Secret Affiliate Code.
You’re covered by a 60 day money-back guarantee. So really, there’s no excuse not to give this system a full test-drive.
