Go to: Previous Article Next Article
ALL Affiliate Marketers Begin With the Same Small Baby Step
Affiliate programs make it easy to sell products, when you don't have an original product of your own. Beware of online offers that tell you a web page is not needed. When you sign up as an affiliate with top notch product offer providers such as Offer Vault and Commission Junction, a web page is still required.
The learning curve for building a web site or web page with HTML is so intimating for many affiliate newbie would-be's, they won't even take the First Baby Step. Here is your solution. I've been using Kompozer for more than 2 years, an Open Source, free to download WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) Editor, considered superior to many Editors costing $97.00 or more. Ready to get started building your first web page? Download Kompozer at http://kompozer.net/download.php.
In time you will want to invest in a wide variety of software applications to enhance and expand your web designing and web page creations. If you are a newbie, however, the last thing you want to do is complicate the process of web site and web page building. Adding to Kompozer the graphics creation application called Web Graphics Creator by Laughing Bird Software will complete your beginning affiliate tool kit.

Your First Goal Is Also Your Primary Objective
Your goal, as an affiliate marketer, is to make money with affiliate products. You must learn how to effectively drive massive amounts of targeted traffic to your web page, also called landing pages, squeeze pages, affiliate funnel pages, the intent being to capture the name and email address of your potential customers.
The foolish person attempts to hitch the cart to the front of the horse, instead of its rear. The same is true if you spend all of your time and money energy driving massive traffic directly to the seller's web site. Just don't do it! Don't you think that in spending all that time and money energy, you should be the one to keep those potential customers to sell to over and over, again?
It only stands to reason, then, that your First Goal and Major Objective is in the building of a huge potential customer base. Don't try to reinvent the wheel. Do what has been time-tested and time-proven to earn a full-time income as a professional affiliate marketer.
Affiliate Traffic Tip No. 1 for Newbie Affiliate Marketers
Take the time to develop your very own original Ezine, Newsletter or Mini-Training Course. Why would you invest the time required to do this? By these methods you are delivering a series of valuable content emails, via autoresponder, to your potential customers. You are communicating with them at timed intervals.
Of the many multiple purposes for developing an ezine or newsletter:
1. Communicating with your potential customers is a vital ingredient for earning a substantial affiliate income. You establish a empathic bond with your potential customer by delivering free quality content to him via email.
2. The most direct route to informing your potential customers of the latest marketing strategies, software developments, audio-video training and information products is via your autoresponder email series.
3. The importance and value of regular, rhythmic communication with your potential customer base cannot be underestimated.
4. Yes, it takes time to learn how to properly build a web site or landing page, create original header and footer logos, write an ezine, newsletter or mini-course series of emails, and program them into an autoresponder. Do these steps, drive massive amounts of targeted traffic to your affiliate funnel pages, and succeed beyond your wildest dreams!
5. The real secret ingredient of Traffic Tip No. 1 is the rapport and trust you develop via the delivery of quality information to your potential customer subscriber base. The cash cow you construct with your sweat equity in learning how to build affiliate funnel pages and in the delivery of quality content, directly to your customer database, you will still be milking well into the future.
To sum it up, there is no more effective way to become a part-time or full-time affiliate income earner than to develop your own affiliate funnel pages (at least in the beginning), driving huge numbers of visitors, out of which a percentage will opt-in (subscribe), becoming your customers, as you deliver high quality information to them via ezine, newsletter or mini-course, and validate your status as a professional online marketer, well into the future.
To your online affiliate success,
