--------------- Affiliates'
Biggest Mistake ---------------
You and almost every seller of affiliate
products are making the same mistake. When you promote a product
from any affiliate program, who do you think is the one who really
profits?
Your answer is most likely both you and the affiliate owner profit.
After all, you earn your commission and the affiliate program owner
gets the remaining profit from the sale of the product. Both you
and the affiliate program owner make money.
This is not a bad arrangement except that you almost always loose
your lead whether a sale is made or not. What this means is that
you are forced to focus on a one-time sale and spend most of your
time chasing new customers. Where you able to build a list?
In reality you helped build the affiliate program owner's list.
This is a list that you are not allowed to use. As an affiliate,
you do not have access to all the names and email addresses of the
customer that purchased the product that you paid to advertise. All
you get is a short record of the transaction and the amount of
commission you earned.
There are three outstanding disadvantages you are facing because you
don't have access to this list...
1. It doesn't give you any options for promoting other profitable
affiliate programs to your customers.
2. It doesn't allow you to sell a product you have created yourself.
3. It doesn't allow you to sell any products you have purchased
reprint rights to.
Like all the Internet Gurus say, the fortune is in having your own
list that you can promote to over and over again.
Let's suppose you got a very good conversion rate of 7% on the
product you advertised for the affiliate program. What happened to
the other 93% of the visitors that went to the sales letter and
didn't make a purchase? After all, you worked hard to get these
potential customers to the sales letter, and you are just going to
let 93% of these prospects leave with out a purchase.
In other words 93% of your work was a waste of your time and effort.
By simply promoting an affiliate program and allowing the affiliate
program owner to build their list and business while you LOSE out
on thousands of dollars in profits because you didn't maximize the
benefits of your efforts.
This is the number 1 BIGGEST MISTAKE being made by most affiliates
that is costing them THOUSANDS of dollars in profits. But the
Internet Gurus keep telling you to build a list. But did you
notice that even though they tell you to build a list, they don't
give you the tools or knowledge you need to build your list.
Finally revealed are the tools, codes, and knowledge you need to
stop making the number 1 BIGGEST MISTAKE being made by most
affiliates. All of these things are available when you Get The
Affiliate Advantage at...

----------------A typical Affiliate Sales Method---------------
In a typical affiliate sales method, which is probably the method
YOU are using, you place an ad with the link to the affiliate site.
Your potential customer clicks on your link to the affiliate owners
sales letter. If the customer makes a purchase from the affiliate
owners sales letter, you make a profit.
But if the customer does not make a purchase you don't make anything.
Plus, whether a purchase is made or not, any future contact with
that customer is gone and you have to start the process over again.
----------------Now for Steve A. Yakim's Power Affiliate Sales Method---------------
The only thing that the typical sales method has in common with
Steve's Power Affiliate Sales Method is that you place an ad. But
the ad that you place has a link to a capture page instead of the
link to the affiliate owner's sales letter.
The capture page records the visitor's name and email address and
offers a bonus to the visitor. This is where your list begins.
Now, after the visitor's name and email address is recorded, the
visitor is sent to the affiliate owner's sales letter.
If the visitor does not make a purchase while at the affiliate
owner's sales letter, your effort is not lost. You now have the
capability to follow up with additional offers to this visitor
because you have their name and email address.
Just because you have collected the visitor's name and email
address, the visitor can still be a potential buyer and may
purchase from your follow up ad and still be a source for
additional profits from other targeted ads you present to the
customer.
To sweeten this whole plan is that when the visitor make a purchase
you make a profit but you still have the customers name and email
address and you can still use follow up offers. That is the best
of both possibilities.
Now this is where everyone else's sales method ends. But with
Steve's Sales Method you receive another very powerful tactic. You
have spent time and money to advertise the affiliate owner's
product and the customer has decided to purchase or not to purchase
the product and is leaving the sales letter.
When the customer closes the sales letter, he or she see an exit
popup that you have placed there when the customer went to the
sales letter. This popup directs the customer to the sales letter
of one of your products or another affiliate program.
What this means is that you have now presented two different
products for the same time and money as it cost you to formerly
present the one product. You have effectively doubled your
opportunity to make a sale with no extra cost or effort.
If you want to triple your production, you can add another popup to
another product. You must be very careful not to abuse all of this
extra power and put too many exit popups.
This Sales Method is very powerful and all the code and detailed
instructions are available at...

You now have the
power to send the customer anywhere you want. I will diagram
Steve's Affiliate Sales Method so you can see the big difference
between the typical sales page and Steve's Affiliate sales Method.
----------------How About a Live Demonstration---------------
I will give you a live demonstration by using an affiliate program
I belong to. In other words I do not have any access to the code
on this sales page. I am going to use a sales letter from a well
known marketeer Mark Saville. The product is
called Network Responder.
This first link will demonstrate the typical sales method used by 95% of all
affiliates. This link has been masked so my commissions cannot be stolen.
This is put in the advertisement. Click on the link and it just takes you
to the sales letter. If the customer purchases the product, you make a commission.
If the customer does not purchase the product, you make nothing.
In either case you have no way to do any follow-up offers. So if the customer
does not purchase the product your time and money it cost to get that customer to
the affiliate owner's sales letter is wasted. As you probably already know, this
happens at least 93% of the time. Click on the link below and see what most
affiliates (probably you) are doing.

Now you will see the difference when you use Steve's Power Affiliate Sales Method.
This is the link I would put in my advertisements.
http://www.TheAffiliateAdvantage.com/NR_Re-direction3.htm
This link takes you to my capture page where I collect the visitors
name and email address. If you would like to subscribe to my
newsletter, go ahead and fill out the form and hit send. After the
email is sent, click on close.
You are then taken to Mark Saville's sales page Network Responder. This
is not just a demonstration, all the forms and sales letters are the
real thing. If you have never heard of Mark Saville's Network Responder
go ahead and check it out.
As you will recall Mark has not installed any exit popups. But when you close
Mark's sales letter, you will see my first exit popup, which is called
Instant Boost.
If you want to Boost traffic to your website, check out this free
Instant Boost Program. When you click on the link on the exit
popup, you are taken to a sales letter that explains Instant Boost
and how to get it for Free.
When you close the Instant Boost sales letter and the Instant Boost
popup, you will find a second popup to the Profits Vault Monthly.
Profits Vaults Monthly is a private membership site where you can
earn residual income.
I could have added a popup for another affiliate program I belong
to. Or I could have added a popup for a product that I have resell
rights to. Or I could have added a popup for my new eBook "Get The
Affiliate Advantage". As you can see the combinations are endless.
You have the tools to take the customer wherever you want them to go.
With Steve's Power Affiliate Sales Method you are able
to present more than one product with no extra advertising. I presented
2 extra products and did not spend any extra cash to do it. If the
customer does not purchase the advertised product, he or she may like
one or both of the other products.
The next day I can follow up through email because the visitor also
signed up for my newsletter and sell one or two of my other
affiliate program products as a backend sale. Then after a few
more days In can sell one of the products I have resell rights to
through email again.
Now you can see just how powerful Steve A. Yakim's Power Affiliate
Sales Method really is. Stop making the affiliates #1 mistake when
you can get this Power Affiliate Sales
Method at...
