Gary Shawkey's Secrets
by Gary Shawkey & Brian Garvin
Introduction
Below, Brian has answered dozens of questions in extreme detail that beginning affiliates who were new and just plain frustrated with Affiliate Marketing and even experienced affiliates have asked.
Question:
What's your definition of an Affiliate Programme?
Answer:
An Affiliate programme is a program where the affiliate, the person promoting the programme of the merchant, owner, gets compensated for sending qualified leads and sales to the programme. These fees can be one time commissions, or residual or monthly income. When you're building monthly income, your efforts might not seem like they are paying off at first, but do the math. $10.00 per month for 10 years is $1,200.00 one customer is worth to you. If you place a $100.00 ad to get this customer, it won't seem to pay off at first, but in the long ruin, over a 10 year period the ad paid off 1,200%. That kind of interest rate beats any bank hands down!
Question:
Is it really possible to earn a full time income online with affiliate programs?
Answer:
Not only is it possible, but there are thousands of people that are doing it right now and can give you documented proof if you asked them. They are making enough money to pay off their mortgage, car payments, alimony payments, take vacations and even send their kids to college. Even low cost affiliate programmes that charge $19.95 per month can earn you upwards of $4,000.00 per month or more. There are even free programs that offer residual income in a one-tier or two-tier structure and people are earning thousands monthly with lots of these programmes. The traffic sources and knowledge is all in this eBook. It's up to you to take action. No amount of knowledge is any good unless you act on it.
Question:
Brian, if you're making so much money with these types of programmes, why would you blow the lid and tell others? I mean that would cut into your income because tens of thousands are gonna be doing what you're teaching.
Answer:
Well, this question brings up a whole different set of variables. First, of all, I already know I've 'made it' to multi-millionaire status by the end of this year, so more competition won't kill me. But more importantly, there's so many different programmes out there, and pay attention to every one, that there really is no such thing as competition, especially on the Internet when you reach a global audience. Right when you think a city is saturated with McDonald's restaurants, what happens? Another one pop ups right by your house right? Better yet, think of a good Handyman, a good skilled Handyman. Sure, there might be 100,000 good Handyman out there, but if you're skilled you'll still get your fair share of business no matter what.
If you're not the first to hit an ezine with a Web-Based MLM programme you might not be the one to practically dominate it, but if you're a 'Skilled Handyman' in the affiliate game, you'll know where to go to get the leads to ensure you're successful with the programme and get more than your fair share of the profits. So what I'm saying is that there can be 100,000 people out there with my skill level and I can still find my niche in the 23 Billion Dolar Per Year and growing affiliate marketing industry. And you don't have to depend on Heavy hitters to do it.
Question:
Of the top of your head, what's another way to get lots of free exposure for your prorgamme. Throw us valued customers 'a bone' Brian.
Answer:
Eat this bone. Go around the the Internet and give the owners of programmes testimonials about how great their products are. Include your name and Web Address in these testimonials. Remember, each person is paying big money to get traffic to these sites. And, when you get your testimonial on different sites around the web, people keep seeing your name Pop-Up. It's a great feeling. This is a free way to start branding yourself.
