How it works

The affiliate scheme works by allowing you to create your own affiliate link in the format of:-http://www.youshouldreadmore.com/toyshop/free-book/index.php/?e=PayPalEmailAddress

where "PayPalEmailAddress" in the link is your PayPal email address that you wish the payments to go to. Place this link on the pages of your website or blog to send us potential customers.

Since we have set the commission to be 50%, then the payments for the products are rotated between you, the affiliate and us alternately. We as admin will get the first payment from the first referral from your website, you receive the second, we receive the third and so on.

Our Affiliates LOVE this method of receiving commissions as it allows them to receive payment directly into their PayPal account and they don't have to wait for the admin to get round to it - usually the following month.

Please remember though, that we run an ethical business and offer a no quibble guaranteed refund for all our products. If you have received the payment from a dissatisfied customer who later complains, Paypal will expect you to refund it. Having said that we vet our products very carefully and refunds are practically non existent. We all want satisfied customers so they come back and buy more!

This is a great introduction to running an online business, we provide the products, pay the hosting fees for the main website, take care of delivery to the customer and answer all the emails with general queries. All you have to do is concentrate on generating traffic to your own website and send us interested customers, we do the rest. Your introduction to affiliate marketing does not require dealing with customers, product development and maintenance. This is one of the easiest ways of launching into an online business and earning more profits.

As an affiliate it is your aim to effectively and convincingly promote a product or service to the visitors of your website or blog.

For example if you were to write a review on your website or blog, say about last minute stocking fillers. This would be a prefect opportunity to recommend " The Vintage Games Compendium" that resolves these problems for your readers.

Simply find the sales page on this website, the one with the "Order Button" and make a note of its address, in this case

To create your link from your article or post to the sales page, you would create a link like the one below, where you put the Email address of your Paypal account where you wish to receive the payment at the end:

http://www.youshouldreadmore.com/toyshop/free-book/index.php?e=YourPayPalEmailAddress

(NO Spaces)

To add text to the link in your article, it will need to be inserted as HTML code in your blog or web page, like this for example:

<a href="http://www.youshouldreadmore.com/toyshop/free-book/index.php?e=YourPayPalEmailAddress">Click here for a great last minute stocking filler!</a>

(No Spaces)

It will look like this your web page:

The Basics of how to be a successful affiliate.

First we will go over some basics about how to be a successful affiliate.
Most affiliate schemes today, like this one, are completely free to join. Why should you pay to sell someone else product anyway. So if you intend to use the skills you learn here to promote other people's product as well, please be careful and watch out for those hidden costs, like buying “Approved Affiliate Software”, to help you sell their product. There are lots of products out there that offer nice commission rates for those that can pick up the skills of pre-selling a product and deliver click through customers that are ready to buy. First, you must choose a product or service like this one, that can be very useful to a wide variety of people, then you will find pre-selling that product not hard at all.

Your main task apart from that will be getting enough potential customers to visit your website and click your affiliate links. This is accomplished by providing an article or post on your blog in which you recommend the product. Also, where you place your affiliate links on your website can really make a difference on how many of your visitors click on them. Since every click means a potential sale which will earn you a commission, this is an important aspect of internet marketing. If you cannot write this kind of content, do not worry there are many places on the internet where you can find free articles for your affiliate website, that you can us or adapt. It might even be worth you while to pay someone to write a professional piece. When you use a free piece you are limiting yourself to what is out there. Also there is the danger that you will have to allow the original author to place their name and by-line on the bottom of the article and steal your traffic.

If you pay someone you can tell the writer exactly what you want, the nature of the product you are selling and the way you would like your readers to feel and react. Also, you will own the content which means nobody else will be able to use it. By far the best way to go, is to teach your self the skills needed to write articles, then you would also have another way to earn some extra money by writing for other affiliates.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.

The latest research has shown that some of the most effective links that you can have on your website are simple text links. Just plain simple text links! One of the biggest mistakes new affiliate marketeers make is to fill their pages to overflowing with flashy banner ads. If you write a great article (or have one created) about the product or something related to the product this engages the reader. If you have inserted a simple text link in the article, this allows the interested reader to click on it, to find out more. By the same token, a badly written article that contains a text link to an unrelated product is unlikely to make you rich.

So how should you do it? Here are some proven tactics

• Promote each product you are marketing with separate unique web pages. Do not clump them all together just to save a bit of money in the short term, perhaps with web hosting costs. It is best to have your pages focus on one product at a time and nothing more.
  
  
• Always include product reviews on the website so visitors will gain an understanding of what the product can do for those people that buy it.
  

• You can also write articles highlighting the uses of the product and post them on articles site or social networking sites like Squidoo. Include a link to the page on your own website that has your affiliate link to the product you are promoting.
  
  
• .Make the pages attractive compelling and include calls to act on the information. Each headline should attract the readers to try and read more, even contact you. Highlight your special points. This will help your readers to learn what the page is about and will want to find out more.
  
  
• Only two things can possibly happen with the web page alone: The visitor follows your affiliate link or the prospect leaving the page and never return again. If they leave without following the link that is a lost sale. Try and devise methods to make them come back to your web pages. Perhaps you could give away a free gift or free reports, in return for them opting into your newsletter. There you place ads to remind them or if they agree to join your list with an autoresponder service like Aweber you can send them occasional reminders by email
  
  
• Focus on important points like how your product you are promoting can make life and things easier and more enjoyable.
  
  
• Include compelling subject lines as email signatures. As much as possible, avoid using the word “free” because there are still older spam filters that dumps those kind of contents into the junk before even anyone reading them first. Convince those who signed up for your free reports that they will be missing something big if they do not avail of your products and services.
  
  
• This may sound like common sense but you need to target the kind of traffic that is interested in the product you are promoting. It is pointless and expensive to pay someone for the service of sending visitors to your web pages if they are not interested in what you are promoting.
  
• You can try writing or have someone write for you, articles for publication in e-zines and e-reports. This way you can locate publications that is focusing on your target customers and what you have put up might just grab their interest.
  
  
• Try to write a minimum of 2 articles per week, with at least 300-600 words in length. By continuously writing and maintaining these articles you can generate as many as 100 targeted readers to your site in a day. Always remember that only 1 out of 100 people are likely to use your links to buy the product or services you are recommending. If you can generate as much as 1,000 targeted hits for your website in a day, that means you can make at least 10 commission sales based on the average statistic.
