Affiliate marketing offers a great opportunities to everyday people. However as we’ve mentioned before numerous times the learning curve can be steep and daunting. But through hard work and yes trial and error you can find a formula that will work for you. Once you hit on the right niche the process becomes very simple!

Starting out, affiliate marketing is a progression of selling other people’s products while earning a commission in return on all sold products. Now some might ask, Sell other people’s products? Huh! Its simple by taking this approach you never have to have anything of your own to sell, you don’t have to build and carry any inventory, and you never have to be connected with prospective customers. Alternatively, the producing company does all that for you…

OK, so this tip may not be that obvious to some but to the people that are making money online its become second nature. Its so routine that they do this without even thinking but sadly it never even occurs to more than 90% of the people out there.

Here it is in a nutshell…

If you look at a newspaper the most important information is always put above whats called the “Fold”  That’s because when browsing or glancing at written material your eyes only see the top portion.  That’s where Sales are made or Lost!

Now I hate to generalize but sometimes you have to because the Stats just don’t lie!

I’ve spent many years showing and teaching people how to make money from affiliate marketing. And the one things that continually keep coming up,  is that the newbie is looking for…

“The Golden Rule” or “The Proverbial Secret”  that will turn them into an instant success…Well the truth is,  there really is no one “Secret” at all!

Hope your not to disappointed…

Yes, there are plenty of trick and techniques that I and others have tested that really do work. These can be and should be used as a guide to build on.

However, as far as there being one big secret that all super affiliates have that the others are searching for, well its really not there!

Here’s what is Needed to succeed…

The one glaring difference between that Super-affiliate on that internet Millionaire is that they have taken the time to learn and study their craft. They have made a commitment to themselves,  to learn and study the skills needed to be successful… and of course they have all put the work in that’s necessary to achieve it!

So if you want it, you’ll need to put the work in…no magic, no secret formula other than hard work. Take a stand and take charge of your life newbie…only then will you be successful!

It first started in New York and now it’s slowly gaining momentum in other States…what are we talking about? Internet Tax Laws also know as Nexus Tax laws.

First what is Nexus? Means that a business has a sufficient connection with the taxing State to allow the State to have taxing authority. More at Answers.com

Make no mistake about it this a very BIG DEAL, especially for affiliate marketers!

If you have an affiliate business in one of the State’s that have passed such laws then you have already felt the pinch…

Case in point-lets touch on AMAZON’s associate program. There’s a lot of people out there making a very good living off of promoting and selling Amazon’s products. But if you live in a State that has recently passed a Nexus law or is in the process of doing so, then your going to be out of luck! You see Amazon wants nothing to do with paying taxes for affiliates, even though it really would not be that difficult for them. They feel that having affiliates does not mean that they have a physical presence within that State. Here lies the problem is!  The States disagree, and believe that if your affiliates are conducting business on your companies behalf then you certainly do have a presence!

A few weeks back I posted a tweet about JING asking everyone to check it out, well that tweet received over 4,000 hits alone and still going! WOW…

Most people are just beginning to understand the value of video and how much it can add to your promotions. However, for one reason or another most are just not using video period!

Some reasons why…

• Cost of buying good software, probably the number one reason!
• Comfort level-most are not ready to promote a product using video.

Well, its time to put one of those issues to rest once and for all…COST!

The program is called JING and its FREE! So if your just starting out in affiliate marketing there’s no excuse for you not to be using video.

OK, so what about JING, did I mention its Free..oh ya I did!

Well JING is put out by Techsmith, if your not familiar with them they also put out Camtasia.  Probably one of the most widely used video capture programs out there, it provides great quality and flexibility. Definitely the Cadillac version.

With that said, JING would be considered the VW version, really good but without all the bells and whistles.

So what can you do with JING:

• Screen capture
• Ability to share instantly
• Screen casting, narrate what you see on the fly
• Windows and Mac versions available
• And more…

This is a great tool for creating simple video tutorials in a hurry. JING can be downloaded here….GET FREE JING NOW! (no affiliate link)

One other thing there is also JING Pro but that’s $14.95 per year, personally I use this version.  It give us a few extras that are indeed nice, longer recording time, produce unbranded videos, etc…

Either way if your thinking about investing in a video capture tool then JING should be a the top of your list!

In case you missed it, a few weeks back Google announced that a large portion of their internal staff have been working on a top secret project. This team has been putting together the inner workings of the NEW Google search engine architecture.

This next generation search engine is code named “Caffeine”

This new internal infrastructure will sit hidden and under the hood. What that means for the average user? Most will not even notice a difference while searching. But for some super searchers (the power group) and developers they may notice the improvements.

A friend of mine sent me this video at first I was very skeptical, you see it has Frank Kern in it and when it comes to Frank I’m always a bit leary. Yes its true, Frank is highly regarded by most within the Affiliate Marketing world.

Frank Kern is very successful and has been a pioneer in this business for a long time, no doubt about that. As for me I just have not come across anyone who has had much success with his products. So that’s what makes me wonder if he’s just the ultimate “Pitch Man” or does his stuff really work?

So I sit down and click the link, and low and behold its Tony Robbins discussing how he’s going to have this chat with both John Reese & Fran Kern. So right off that bat I’m like,  Hmmm…Tony Robbins?

Anyways to cut to the chase-I hit the play button and settle in. It quickly becomes clear that this interview really is hitting home! Its about how and why people succeed or not, in any field. What traits successful people have in common that make them successful.

I may have been wrong about Frank, watch the video! This might be the most genuine I have ever seen him. It very well might be that people who buy the products just don’t follow through. They are unable to take action for one reason or another.

So take action and watch Tony Robbins Interview with Frank Kern & John Reese, this is a very dynamic and powerful discussion!

Your feedback would be appreciated and thanks!

If your serious about affiliate marketing then you will have to invest in yourself at some point. By investing in yourself I mean in your business. Affiliate marketing takes on many shapes and has a lot of moving parts and one of the the pieces in motion should be your ability to generate a list. You’ve heard the old saying “the money is in the list”… well, its true!
