Well,
proof again that IT NEVER ENDS, lol.
Paid my
car off after almost losing it every month
for a
year so of COURSE everything is going out, one
or two
things at a time! Today the water pump AND fan
went
out when I was about 1/4 of the way getting my
partner
to the hospital for treatments for his back.
Luckily
his best friend who lives in our town could
come
and pick us up AND my local tow company could take
the car
to the dealer where even more luckily, at least
the
water pump is under my extended warranty. So, I am
carLESS
but it will get fixed and hopefully soon.
Living
in a tiny town with NO public transportation,
I am
totally lost without a car although I often go
no
further than my post offic and the local diner for
coffee
or local grocery store.
On the
happy front, my three year old grand-daughter,
Madison
and now 6 week old new grand-son, Aiden, are
both
doing well and she still loves being a big sister.
And my
other grand-son, Brayden, turned ONE on the 23rd.

3 Ways
To Boost Your Affiliate Commissions Overnight
Affiliate
marketing does not require having your own website,
dealing
with customers, refunds, product development or
maintenance.
This is one of the easiest ways of launching
into an
online business and earning more profits.
Assuming
you are already into an affiliate program, what would
be the
next thing you would want to do? Double, or even triple,
your
commissions, right? How do you do that?
Here
are some powerful tips on how to boost
your
affiliate program commissions overnight.
1. Know
the best program and products to promote.
Obviously,
you will want to promote a program
that
will enable you to achieve the greatest
profits
in the shortest possible time.
There
are several factors to consider in selecting such
a
program. Choose the ones that have a generous commission
structure.
Have products that fit in with your target audience.
Concentrate
on those that have a solid track record of paying
their
affiliate easily and on time. If you cannot seem to
increase
your investments, dump that program and keep looking
for
better ones.
There
are thousands of affiliate programs online so you can
afford
to be picky. You may want to select the best to avoid
losing
your advertising dollars.
Write
free reports or short ebooks to distribute from your site.
There
is a great possibility that you are competing with other
affiliates
that are promoting the same program. If you start
writing
short reports related to the product you are promoting,
you'll
be able to distinguish yourself from other affiliates.
In the
reports, provide some valuable information for free.
If
possible, add some recommendations about the products.
With
ebooks, you get credibility. Customers will see that
in you
and they will be enticed to try out what you'r offering.
2.
Collect and save the email addresses of those who download
your
free ebooks. It is a known fact that people do not make
a
purchase on the first solicitation. You may want to send out
your
message more than six times to make a sale.
This is
the reason why you should collect the contact
information
of those who downloaded your reports and
ebooks.
You can make follow-ups on these contacts to
remind
them to make a purchase from you.
Get the
contact information of a prospect before sending
them to
the vendor’s website. Keep in mind that you are
providing
free advertisement for the product owners.
You get
paid only when you make a sale. If you send
prospects
directly to the vendors, chances are they
will be
lost to you forever.
But
when you get their names, you can always send other
marketing
messages to them to be able to earn an ongoing
commission
instead of a one-time sale.
Publish
an online newsletter or Ezine. It is always best
to
recommend a product to someone you know than to sell
to a
stranger. This is the purpose behind publishing
your
own newsletter. This also allows you to develop
a
relationship based on trust with your subscribers.
This
strategy is a delicate balance between providing
useful information
with a sales pitch. If you continue
to
write informative editorials you will be able to
build a
sense of reciprocity in your readers that may
lead
them to support you by buying your products.
3. Ask
for higher than normal commission from merchants.
If you
are already successful with a particular promotion,
you
should try to approach the merchant and negotiate
a
percentage commission for your sales.
If the
merchant is smart, he or she will likely grant
your
request rather than lose a valuable asset in you.
Keep in
mind that you are a zero-risk investment to
your
merchant; so do not be shy about requesting an
additional
commission. Try to be reasonable about it.
Write
strong pay Per Click ads. PPC search engine
is the
most effective means of advertising online.
As an
affiliate, you can make a small income just
by
managing PPC campaigns such as Google AdWords
and
Overture. Then you should try to monitor them
to see
which ads are more effective and which ones
to
dispose of.
Try
these strategies and see the difference they
can
make to your commission checks in the shortest
amount
of time.
