Affiliate-Marketing-Methods-that-Self-Made-Super-Affiliate-Rosalind Gardner-Uses-to-earn-$30000-to-$50000-from-each-Affiliate-Programs
In my last entry I discussed how Eric Week made his website successful.
Today in this particular case I am going to discuss the unique internet marketing methods used to promote Sage-Hearts.com created by Rosalind Gardner of whom I had already mentioned in one of my previous entries in this blog. As you are aware that Rosalind Gardner is a self made super affiliate who earns nothing less than $50000 from each of her websites by promoting products and services none of which she owns. All her earnings come in the form of commissions that she is paid for in the range of 50% and above, by the merchant websites whose affiliate programs that she has joined, for every product that is sold out to any of her potential customers / clients that she had encouraged them to buy or subscribe from the website owners whose products and services she promotes, using her link that has her special affiliate code given to her by the merchant website for identification. She does this by providing ample information that are well researched and are of useful quality to the willing clients and customers who wants her advice and suggestions to solve their problems that's bothering them. If you are interested to learn more of her and her marketing techniques which she has nicely compiled and keeps updating it from time to time that she actually uses for her various affiliate websites, I highly recommend that you too have access to this vital information which will give an insight into the ways and means of this super affiliate queen, so click here to get the details for free now.
For now let me concentrate in one of her very first affiliate websites Sage-Hearts.com that made her so wealthy. Rosalind Gardner who started of as an Air Traffic Controller and after the success of Sage-Hearts left her government job in Canada where she resides and concentrated to develop her home based internet business selling only affiliate products and services. When she started Sage -Hearts a full fledged Online Dating services that gave details in the form of personal reviews made by Rosalind Gardner on the top dating services, internet marketing was still in its infancy compared to today. She made herself an expert on online dating and made her research on the kind of services that each of the dating services provided which helped her clients to make their choice to look for their 'soul mates'
Rosalind too understood the importance of traffic without which, her website, however well presented and highly informative it might be, would have remained unnoticed and ignored, and would have not got the attention of her esteemed clients who visit her website for soul, solace and comfort. Naturally without the high traffic and the excellent affiliate products and services, all well researched that has enhanced her reputation as a reliable person and an expert on dating services , it would have been quite a difficult task to convert her traffic to sales, the conversion rates being 3 to 5 times higher than most. No wonder her focus has allowed her to earn $30,000 to $50,000 per month, with a whopping 40% to 50% profit margin.
That's her key- before getting involved, Rosalind always makes her overt research on the kind of affiliate programs that are offered by the various merchant websites. She gets into the nitty-gritty of their service, their track record, reputation on the net, the kind of products and services that they offer for sale through affiliate programs, how well it will suit with the theme of her website and most important of all, does she feel comfortable in using as well as recommending the program and the products to her esteemed visitors who look up to her for more and better products and services to satisfy a need, their desires and demands, which is the essence of any marketing program. This is her simple yet an incredible technique that helps in driving traffic to her website for her highly useful contents, information and products & services and multiplies the conversion rates several times compared to others offering something similar.
Here are some of the things Rosalind recommends you look for before joining any program:
A great product: She recommends only products and services she would be willing to pay for herself. “I frequently purchase and test products before listing them for sale on my sites,” she says.
High commissions: Some programs will pay as little as 5% commission (which means it will take a huge volume of sales to earn any real money); some will pay as high as 50%.
A high-quality affiliate interface: You should be able to quickly and easily access your sales and visitor statistics at any time.
Excellent -- and available -- management: Great management is usually a sign of a great program. “The best companies take care of their affiliates by ensuring that their program managers are accessible and responsive,” Rosalind says.
Real-time statistics reporting: Real-time reporting allows you to track the success of any advertising or promotion.
Low minimum payout: “One of the companies I promote has a $1,000 minimum payout, which means I don't get paid until I've generated $1,000 in earnings,” Rosalind says. “That's fine if I can do that every month, but suppose it takes a year?”
Frequent payout schedule: Payout schedules can vary from weekly, to bi-weekly, to monthly, to quarterly. Frequent payouts mean your income is more regular.
She also recommends making sure that you understand your affiliate agreement by reading it from top to bottom before signing up and monitoring your statistics to keep close track of payments. Once you're comfortable with the program, make sure you give your customers a reason to click on your affiliate links -- and that the affiliate products and services you're offering appeal to your site's audience.
Rosalind has been able to taste success with her brain child Sage-Hearts. com because she takes personal interest in all the top dating sites that's available on the internet each of which she reviews of her own before she recommends. She is constantly monitoring each of her recommended services, accepting feedbacks and accordingly to suit the requirements and demands of the customers updates each of her reviews and keeps adding fresh ones, which compels the visitors hungry for information to keep returning to her websites time and again.

Case Study 1
Truck-Bed-Covers.com by Eric Week
From the very onset of his online business Eric was clear in his mind, he needed as much traffic as possible for his website. The more number of targeted people visit his niche website the easier would be for him to rope in some of these visitors and turn them into ready buyers. Lets suppose for every 100 people who visits his site he can hope to find a willing customer in at least one of them. Once the client makes the purchase from his range of products he can hope to return back for more products provided he is satisfied with what he had paid for. He can recommend few more to others and that's how his business becomes popular and expands.
But how was he to do this on the internet? Eric had a plan. He wanted his website to be ranked amongst the Top 10 websites that would be shown in the very first page of the top search engines such as Google and Yahoo. He found out that 800 people searched for the term "truck bed covers" every day. So to get amongst the top 10 of the search engines he began to educate himself. He tried to learn and research on what made a website popular and rank well in the search engine. He then narrowed down his attention and efforts on Search Engine Optimisation and decided to stick to the technique. This SEO technique alone is responsible for Eric's success. Using this single strategy, he sold $800,000 worth of product in his first year online -- over $200,000 of which was pure profit! accordingly Eric began to optimise his web site for high search engine positions.
No wonder Eric began to taste profit for his web site from day one itself.
For those who are just starting to take on the challenge of search engine optimization, Eric offers the following advice:
Use your main keyword in your URL.
Separate each keyword in your URL with a hyphen to make it easier for the search engine to locate that keyword when spidering your site.
Try to get as many reputable, relevant sites linking to you as possible.
Include good, relevant content.
Place main keywords in hyperlinks.
Wherever possible, use text logos instead of "jpegs" or "gifs" -- search engines won't spider image files.
So we find that Eric was successful not because of the technique he adopted but sticking to only one technique and not everything that he knows of. Now that he has really conquered with his one marketing strategy that is to bring in more traffic to his website by perfecting the Serach Engine Optimisation for his website. Since he has reached the threshold of his success using SEO, he can now think of adopting some other marketing method that he has in mind for sometime to give more boost to his sales from the website.

The-Significance-of-Affiliate-Marketing-and-How-to-Join-an-Affiliate-Program-for-Free
Affiliate marketing is an excellent way to make forays in the internet system to build revenue. It’s especially beneficial to those who want to start with meager means without having to produce excellent products, in fact none at all, if you wish to start your career in the internet marketing without spending a dime. All that one needs is to join as an affiliate for free and promote the products and services of that merchant website that offers such affiliate programs on commission basis for every sale or lead that it generates from such promotions, as per requirements of the merchant site.
Affiliate marketing is a mutually beneficial arrangement where two web site owners A and B enter into an agreement, subject to certain terms and conditions in compliance with the state laws, whereby they concur to share the proceeds from the sales of products and services that belong to one of the merchant websites say A, and which are promoted by website B the affiliate merchant, which has subscribed to the affiliate program offered by Merchant A, to promote one or more of either the products or services or both on behalf of Merchant website A.
The responsibility under such an arrangement are shared. The affiliate merchant B does not have to bother with the hassles of accepting online payment, tracking of sales and delivery or shipment of the products and services for which the customer pays for online or offline. All that affiliate B is expected to perform is drive traffic of potential customers from its website using the special coded link offered by the merchant website to the merchant website A. Affiliate B because of its highly informative website that’s rich in content specifically meant to satisfy the urge or desire amongst targeted customers is able to send a large portion of the traffic visiting the website of B, to that of merchant website A.
On the other hand it’s the responsibility of website A to
create enthusiasm amongst the potential customers directed from the website B that ultimately converts in a sale of one or more of these products and services, that’s expected to satisfy the requirements and needs of the customers making them (hopefully) into loyal customers for a lifetime, and every time that customer makes a sale within a time frame as agreed under the terms and condition, both the website owners , the affiliate merchant B and the advertiser A enjoys their share of the income so generated depending on the type of compensation paid by the merchant to its affiliates in the form of a commission based on the amount of the sale, a referral fee or a pay-for-click fee.
It’s advisable to join such affiliate programs that are offered by a Merchant website of repute with years of experience in internet marketing and has an excellent track record in converting traffic into as much sales, minimizing waste in sending potential traffic by its affiliates that does not convert to sales by the earliest i.e it must have high sales conversion ratio. Affiliates do not have to develop any products nor maintain an inventory of the products that it promotes, thus avoiding spending on products. It neither has to bother with the transaction process nor does it have to handle or ship the products, all these are the responsibility of the merchant website to whom the products and services belong to and offers affiliate programs to promote them. So make sure that the merchant website whose affiliate program you wish to subscribe does not fall in any of its services as far as customer handling and after sales service is concerned.
Your reputation as a reliable affiliate merchant much depends on the sales and service provided by the merchant websites whom you promote. Its always good to try the products and see how much of its quality will prove beneficial to the customers who regularly visits your site hunting for new products that will solve many of its problems, then based on your observation make an honest review that will give the customers a choice whether or not to purchase.
As far as protecting your interest, as an affiliate, is concerned you must always check with your merchant website to see if they are using an excellent tracking software that not only tracks what you send online but also those customers who places their order by phone, fax or postal mail. This is important, for you must see that you do not miss out any of the commissions that you are suppose to receive for the efforts that you carry out to mobilize traffic that’s sent to the merchant website or office. See if the link that’s especially coded and offered by the merchant website which you use as a gateway to send traffic, has a special java script called cookies that automatically embeds inside the computers of the potential customers who make the visit for the very first time. In case the customer decides not to purchase in its very first visit but does so in one of its subsequent visits, that customer should be recognized as yours no matter from where does the customer makes its visit at the time it makes its purchase. In this way you are ensured of a commission that’s honored and protected by your merchant.
You must have every access to the sales statistics that are offered in real time by your merchant website. Also make sure the merchant provides you with all the sales promotion materials in the form of text links and banners if need be customize to your specification. In my opinion text links have better response than banners; nevertheless the experience may vary from person to person. See that the affiliate merchant offers as much information on the products which you might wish to promote, as well as guide you how these may be promoted. In other words they must be educative, so that you and your customers benefit from this information.

Ken Evoy’s-strategy-to-succeed-on-the-Internet-as-an-Affiliate-Master
He has written a wonderful Ebook ‘The Affiliate Masters Course’, which you can download from here for free. It is a highly resourceful book which you may treat it as your Affiliate bible. It carries all the details of the do’s and don’ts of Affiliate Marketing.
According to Ken Evoy, even though the amount of investment in setting up an affiliate website is minimal in comparison to the amount one can earn from them, nevertheless he has emphasized on the amount of time that one should devote for the promotion of their website. He repeatedly points out that Time should be counted in terms of dollar spent, so even if you have not spent much of your hard cash , yet used up much of your time before the monitor for hours, it should be quantified as amount of money spent per hour. No wonder Time is so precious.
Accordingly this makes it easier for us to calculate the Profit earned from our affiliate programs.
Profit = Income minus Expenses.
Ken Evoy mentions two ways by way of which an affiliate can earn substantial income and watch the income graph slowly climb high.
These are as follows:
The affiliates must refer as many visitors as they can to the website of those merchants with who they have a revenue sharing arrangement.
Increase the Conversion Rate (i.e. the percent of visitors referred to your merchant who makes the desired response that gives you a credit and for which the merchant pays to you whether that’s a sale or a lead.)
For example: If I refer 100 visitors per day to a merchant and 1% buy, I am paid for that one purchase. But if I send 1000 visitors per day and 3% buy, I get paid for 30 purchases.
As already mentioned,
Time = Dollar.
For every time or hour that you spend on the net to promote your business, assign a dollar to yourself, irrespective of whether or not the affiliate business has cost you or not in real cash.
That is why it is important to build as much traffic for every dollar spent and improve your strategy to convert most of that, difficult to obtain, traffic, into real sales that generates revenue.
Now you might wonder what is the strategy, which Ken Evoy uses to build up traffic in the first place. According to him content of a website is what attracts customers like a gall of honey. After all people search the internet to gather information that holds the key to solve each of their particular problem. The website that contains rich information that pertains to the customer’s range of interest will be visited the most. This will eventually give the website a higher ranking in the search engine.
That’s why Ken Evoy prescribes that a website must be dedicated to a particular theme that focuses on those particular information and solution that most of the customers are searching for in relation to that theme. For this one must practice brainstorming on various topics that are both profitable as well as related to that theme. Eventually subscribe to those affiliate programs that are popular and has a high conversion to sales rate for each unit volume of traffic that drives into the merchant website. Just by having an assortment of affiliate websites or links in your theme based website will not convert traffic to sales. The website must have content that are customer-focused.
Without proper content it’s difficult to pre-sale to the customers by gaining their trust and confidence in your website. Once it’s established as a trustworthy website, it becomes easy to recommend various product and services,that you are confident will help to satisfy each of the potential customers, meeting their demands and fulfilling their desires. Next, according to Ken Evoy, we must build search engine optimized pages that rank highly on a search results page.
This is to gain higher ranking in the search engine pages that in due course would drive traffic to your website.
The ideal kind of website that generates revenue from affiliate related products are those which look for multiple streams of income. This should be in a manner that gives value to each of the visitors that click their way into your website, thereby generating revenue, without losing on any of the visitors. An ideal diversification can be feasible only when there is monetization by blending Google Adsense Program with a few top notch affiliate programs, which blends a finder’s fee with lead generation.

The advantages of joining an affiliate program and how it’s beneficial to the affiliates.
Its become common knowledge amongst the internet surfers who scout for various avenues available to them, to make big money from the internet, that affiliate marketing is a wonderful concept that’s available for free, which are offered by the various merchant sites that want to expand their business globally, by recruiting online agents or affiliates, also called associates, who are willing to promote their products and services, in lieu of a hefty commission on the internet globally and offline locally. Most affiliate programs, without exception, are free to join, without any upfront fees that are to be paid by the willing affiliates, who volunteers to promote, not on salary terms or being in the payroll of the company, but as a commission agent. Affiliates do not have any legal tie up as in a partnership or a shareholders company. Its just a revenue sharing arrangement where neither party is a loser and both are declared joint winners.
Their relationship with the merchant site is limited to promoting the various tangible and intangible products or services on the net within the ambit of the terms and conditions that every affiliate has to subscribe to before they are accepted as affiliates by the merchant sites.
Let us take into account the advantages of joining an affiliate program before we discuss the technical nitty-gritty that goes into identifying each of the affiliates with their unique code and a link that’s used as a gateway, by the customers visiting the merchant website and which identifies the customers, preferably for lifetime, as the affiliates own customers because of a unique java script code, called cookies, that’s automatically embedded in the customers computer, each time they visit the parent merchant website and because of which the affiliate is paid a commission, every time its customer makes a purchase from the parent merchant website, even if the customers visit the merchant site directly or by bypassing the affiliates gateway link, perhaps using some other affiliates website/link.
First of all the affiliates and their parent merchant website offering the affiliate programs enjoy a symbiotic relationship without any monetary obligation, except for paying the commissions on time to the affiliates by the merchant site, whenever a sale is made, provided the affiliates has adhered to the terms and conditions of the merchant site, without having scammed or spammed to promote sales that puts the reputation of the merchant site at stake and which automatically nullifies the cordial affiliate or associate relationship that the affiliates enjoy with their merchant sites. Apart from the symbiotic, win-win relationship that they enjoy, we will further discuss the other advantages that are available to the
affiliates.
Affiliate programs are great ways to make money online, without having to own any products or services that you offer for sale. In fact it’s the best option available on the net to make millions of dollars, without having to spend a dime. All you are expected to do is promote the products and services, every single day. It also relieves you of the hassles of developing a product that’s tailor made to suit the clients that you wish them to buy from you for satisfaction, reliability and at a bargain price, that makes them return to you many times to look out for more products, which you need to keep developing if you do not wish to lose your business that has built a large and loyal customers nurtured over the years. As an affiliate you do not have to develop products, rather look for ones that are available on the internet and start promoting them as an affiliate to satisfy your hungry customers whom you have made your fans, like the film stars, and keep them happy with products that you promote to them, since they have begun to trust your choice and acumen of the products and services that you offer from your website.
Affiliate marketing is perhaps the best option available for anyone to do business on the internet. It’s especially good for those who are novice and do not have much of an idea how ecommerce actually works. No other program other than the affiliate marketing gives you a vast opportunity to sell any products or services not belonging to you, yet help you to make lots of money without having to invest anything other than your time and effort. It is not necessary to maintain an inventory or host an expensive website. The whole operation is online and automatic without you having to know about the nitty-gritty of Internet technology. All you need to do is promote on behalf of the merchant whose affiliate you have become. For every sale you make the merchant pays a commission to the affiliates. It’s not even necessary to have your own website initially, but preferable if you wish to make the mullah that you desperately seek to buy yourself your dream car or house, to promote your affiliate products. In fact all that you need to be saddled in these online affiliate marketing business is to have access to a computer, irrespective of which corner of the globe you are in, even while cruising on a ship mid ocean, as long as you are connected by internet to the rest of the world.
There is no capital outlay. It costs nothing and your obligation is virtually nil, when you join an affiliate program offered by a merchant. In fact you can start promoting and selling immediately after being approved for the program. The internet marketing tools are already provided for you by the merchant sites that are available readymade or if you are already an established super affiliate maybe you can have the promotion tools customized to your specifications.
One of the greatest responsibility and the problems associated with collection of money, from customers making a purchase using their credit card or through an intermediary that makes the payment on their behalf, is to maintain a proper record of the payments along with the names of the customers who makes the purchase, and the consequences of a chargeback from a disgruntled client who wishes to get back the refund. These problems and responsibility faced by a merchant site is missing in case of an affiliate. In fact the affiliate does not have to bother with the complex process that goes into acceptance of payments. Neither they have to cope with the problems of chargeback, scam or of losing a merchant account.
Whether you are a newbie to Internet or a proud owner of a website, affiliate programs are great opportunities for you to make money online. It is an interesting concept that allows affiliates to develop a source of income and the program owners to sell their products more effectively.
As an affiliate your job is to drive traffic to the program owner’s site. Once a potential customer visits the parent/owners website having used your specially coded unique affiliate code as a gateway, it becomes the responsibility of the merchant site and not yours to convert that visit to a potential sale that results in a transaction for which you are paid a commission in appreciation to your marketing promotion.
You get a commission from each sale made to a customer that originated from your marketing efforts.
Once you become interested in making money through affiliate programs and do some research you will come to know that there are many affiliates, who consistently make thousands of dollars month after month.
James Martell, who also wrote a handbook on affiliate marketing, claims that he makes over US$ 40K each month from his 30 over niche affiliate sites.
Phil Wiley lives in a remote area near Australia’s Great Barrier Reefs but it does not create any barrier for him to make a comfortable living from his online incomes.
Rosalind Gardner, author of the Super Affiliate Handbook, made over US $400,000 last year alone by promoting different affiliate programs.
In fact you don’t even require having an MBA to do business on the internet. Rosalind Gardner is a perfect example. She is a citizen of Canada, and before entering into online business, she worked for the government as an air traffic controller for twenty years. She doesn’t even hold an MBA degree, and had zero experience in online business. According to Rosalind, from 1997 to 2001 she was only promoting affiliate programs. She earned 100% income from the Internet alone, since 2000, when she quit her regular job. She has been making $30,000 to $50,000 (in US dollars) each and every month. Last year she made
$436,797,
($657,801 Canadian),by affiliating with Internet merchants and selling their products.
Rosalind Gardner’s affiliate sites have been so lucrative that they've been profiled in many venues. Interviews appear in the late Corey Rudl's, now Derek Gehl’s '
Secrets To Their Success', and Jason Anderson's 'Achieve Net Profits' as well as in glossy magazines such as 'Six Figure Income Magazine'.
Kevin Bidwell of
All-in-One Business has written about her affiliate marketing business success, as has Allan Gardyne of 'AssociatePrograms.com'.

Is it possible for a newbie to earn millions by promoting affiliate products and services on the internet, without having sufficient knowledge in computer programming and other internet related technical knowledge?
Those who explore the internet to find opportunities to make money online by staying at home using the computer along with an internet connection often wonder, the stories that makes the round on the net as well as in the press, of teenagers and grand moms earning dollars in astronomical figures from the internet, if they are really true or simply gimmick to lure the needy and the greedy minds to hook up on the net and spend their hard earned savings to start their own website with its unique domain name, to start a shop selling anything from pins to elephants.

She was nominated by Refer-It.com as the Affiliate of the month with a gross revenue of $51,000 in a month.
What is most surprising is that she runs the show all by herself without having anyone to assist her. Initially when she began her internet venture way back in 1997 she worked on an average of fifty to sixty hours a week. At present the working hours range between zero to sixty. She has automated her websites and without having to bother with the nitty-gritty of running hernumerous websites, she has put them on auto pilot that does not demand much of her attention as everything is handled automatically. This leaves her with plenty of leisure time to globe trot,socialize with friends, playing with her cats and of course to read her favorite books and magazines as she lazes besides the river. She is a disciplinarian who is strict with herself and punishes herself to keep her body fit and in shape. She has a personal trainer with whom she works three times in a week and goes out on cross-country skiing, hiking, walking and snowshoeing.

Rosalind Gardner said, I quote
"Thousands of merchants have put resources into developing
affiliate programs so that others can promote their products
in exchange for a commission, which is usually a percentage
of the product's price. If there wasn't money to be made,
Sony, Dell and those thousands of other merchants wouldn't
waste their time and money building affiliate programs."

Making Money on the Internet. Enjoy the Free Stuffs
Internet is simply fascinating. It is revolutionary and the greatest invention of mankind after the discovery/invention of cooking on fire, the invention of the wheel, Edisons range of products, the aeroplane and finally the internet, which has connected people on a one to one basis globally, where we can share our thoughts,our hopes, our fear and help each other at times of crisis.
Internet has also brought opportunities where people can buy, sale and barter anything and anywhere as long as one has access to the computer with an internet connection. Not long ago, people thought it best to shop online instead of driving to the mall in the bitter cold to make their X'mas and New Years purchases. Such is the efficiency of the internet and the delivery system, that the very next morning whatever was purchased online the previous evening was delivered the next morning. Since then internet has become a popular mode for selling and buying from pins to elephants literally. This has opened the gates to a multitude of opportunities to make money from the comforts of ones home or perhaps while cruising mid sea on a vacation trip. Infact more millionaires have been created and that too in a short time using the computer and the internet, than perhaps offline prior to the internet and world wide web revolution. It has become quite common to hear of school guys and grandmoms making it big on the net. Nobody is surprised by such stories making their rounds. But then there are no dearth of skeptics who doubt their achievements but that's only a reflection of their own shortcomings, who has been conditioned and groomed to bear in mind that nothing is ahieved without hard work. True, who is disputing that age old theory. But hard work does not mean labouring day and night, slogging to make ends meet. Hard work means to work intelligently, delligently and not procrastinating, till one has reached the days goal, that finally leads to the summit of success.
In my subsequent blogs I will be discussing the various opportunities that are available on the internet. In the meantime let me offer you some free stuffs to keep you happy for today. Hope you will find them useful.
1. Do you love books? I am sure you love the printed matter for information, inspiration and ofcourse entertainment. The best place from where you can download books that no longer infringe the copyrights, for they are now classics that enhanced the human knowledge and culture down the ages, that has enriched mankind than perhaps the coffers of the publishers. It is a great meeting ground of great minds. I am sure you too will enjoy. You will find selected works of the Bard, Mark Twain, the creator of Sherlock Holmes who used finger prints as clues to solve crimes - Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and ofcourse the original Kamasutra written by the great sage who has scientifically documented the ancient art of love making to preserve marriage and the society, without anything indecent except as a form of art.
Even if you are not a book worm you will do well to take a look at the site that averages two million downloads of various books on different subjects in a month.

2. Do you enjoy music. If you do then congratulations for here is a website that is the most popular music and video sharing website. It has won a long and bitter legal battle with the music industry and at the end of the day all misgivings were settled and they won. Here you will find millions of songs to fill your head with songs and music from your favorite artists. Its possible to make your choice using multiple search by artist, title, genre or anything else concerned with music that you wish to find. They have their own media player too, even though I cannot say its on the whole satisfying, neverthless you will find the site as a great treasure ground for music lovers.
