How to Promote Any Affiliate Program In 5 Easy Steps

By Jimmy D. Brown of “Affiliatenaire”

…………………….

Using ezine articles is a great way to promote your favor affiliate program. What I’d like to do in this article is provide you with a simple system for effectively writing an ezine article that strategically promotes your offer.

There are five steps…

1. CHOOSE THE OFFER YOU WISH TO PROMOTE

This one is kind of a no-brainer. It all begins with deciding what you want to promote. What offer would you like to send traffic to.

HINT: You can promote your affiliate link directly, but what works better is to promote a list at YOUR site which you then use to promote your affiliate link over and over again after the visitor becomes a subscribers.

2. DETERMINE YOUR “USEFUL, BUT INCOMPLETE” APPROACH.

I love to use what I have coined as the “useful, but incomplete” approach when using freebies of any kind.
(Ezine articles, free eBooks, reports, eCourses, etc.)

What I mean by that is simply this: You provide your reader with “useful” information (something they find of value and are able to actually apply) but make certain that it is “incomplete” in that they can better use the information by making a purchase.

That’s “useful, but incomplete.” And it works like a charm.

The idea is to use your content to build up to your desired response. You provide the reader with content, and then you make an offer that allows them to fully utilize the content, gain extra insight from the content or maximize the content in some additional way.

Let me give you an example -

If I wanted to promote an autoresponder service in an ezine article, how could I do it? I’d write an article
that explains how to benefit from using autoresponders. My article would exlain different uses of autoresponders and how the reader could profit from implementing the ideas.

** I.E. 7 Ways To Create Revenue Streams With Autoresponders

Naturally, they will need an autoresponder service in order to use the information, right? And I just happen to know of a great service they can use. More on that later.

OK, so that’s an example of how to promote a SERVICE offer with your ezine article. What about a software product or an eBook?

Want some examples?

Good, because I’ve got two…

TO PROMOTE A SOFTWARE PRODUCT. Let’s suppose you want to promote a software program that creates “ecovers”. How can you do it?

– Write an article outlining how important presentation of your offer is, and how creating a cover graphic can increase response rates by up to 1300%

– Write a step-by-step tutorial article for “do-it-yourselfers”, explaining how to design your own graphics from scratch. Then promote the software as a super-simplified way of doing it.

TO PROMOTE AN EBOOK. Let’s suppose you want to promote an ebook that teaches advanced list-building strategies. How can you do it?

– Write an article that covers the “basics” of building lists, and then promote the eBook as the “advanced” tactics.

– Write an article on how to profit from a list, and then promote the eBook as the “how to build the list.”

See how easy this is?

That’s how it works. Determine what your “useful, but incomplete” approach will be, and then…

3. TURN YOUR APPROACH INTO A TIPS OR TUTORIAL ARTICLE.

Let’s use my example again. I decided that I would describe various uses of autoresponders and how the reader can actually profit from them. What kind of tips list or tutorial could I create?

* How to Generate More Subscribers, Sales and Profits With Automated Follow-Up Messages”

* 7 Powerful And Profitable Ways To Use Autoresponders To Skyrocket Your Sales and Subscribers!

* Want to Increase Your Online Profits And Leads? Here are 7 Ways to Do It…

I actually went with the middle title. I wrote my list of the 7 ideas that I wanted to share. And I had the makings of a perfect article to promote an offer.

That’s all you need to do. Determine your end result. Decide how to get there with your “useful, but incomplete” approach. And then develop a list, or even a step-by-step tutorial for your article that leads the reader along.

With each new “idea” or “way” or “tip” or “step” or “strategy” that you share, you can further direct the reader towards realizing their need of your upcoming offer, and lay the foundation for them to accept the offer.

4. EXPAND ON EACH POINT TO BUILD YOUR CONTENT.

Here’s more of the easy part. Just “fill-in-the-blanks” to complete your article. Write 1-2 short paragraphs for each of your points. Make them good. Provide quality content. The offer you will soon make will see poor results if your information isn’t useful.

Remember, you are trying to presell the reader on the idea that they are going to need your offer. If you don’t provide them with quality information that they WANT to begin using immediately, then why will they want to buy what you are promoting?

Light a fire in them. Motivate them. Challenge them. Give them such nuggets of gold that they want to keep mining until they hit the mother lode!

5. PUT ON THE FINISHING TOUCHES WITH THE “FIVE PILLARS”

There are five things that you should always do to finish up your ezine article. Don’t skip any of them. They are all critical…

* POLISH. Re-read your article. Does it provide information that really is “useful” to the reader? And yet leaves them wanting even more? That’s what you want. Polish it. Put on the wax and make it shine. It has a very specific purpose — make certain it has the means to achieve it.

* PROMOTE. Use your resource box to promote your offer. This is why we’ve written the article, right? Remember step one? It’s time to put it into play. Give the reader what they (hopefully) are wanting…a way to maximize the information you gave them.

* PROOF. Don’t do this yourself. Have a trusted friend, relative or co-worker check your article for grammatical and typographical errors. The last thing you want to do is present a poor image after sharing some high quality information.

* PUBLISH. Zip your new article out to your favorite list of publishers. Submit it to the announcement lists and the ezine directories. Don’t forget to publish it yourself in your own newsletter!

* PROFIT. If you’ve covered all the bases that I’ve mentioned, then profits are almost certain to start coming in when your ezine article is published. You deserve it. Be proud of your accomplishments.

And then start it all over again!

That’s how you promote your favorite affiliate program in 5 easy steps using ezine articles.

Obviously, there are many other ways to promote your affiliate program, as well as a considerable more “details” in the strategy we’ve looked at today. If you’d like 52 great ways to promote your affiliate link AND complete step-by-step details for each of them, be sure to read the important details below…

(In Addition to the Ones You Should Already Know!)

When it comes to lying, scammers take the biscuit. After all, it’s at the heart of pretty much everything they do. A scam is, quite literally, a deception. And a deception is a lie.

So wouldn’t it be just great if we could always tell when people were lying to us?

Well, there’s a whole science and probably a library of books built around the subject.

And we have machines — polygraphs or lie detectors — that are supposed to be able to show when a person is lying.

However, these are certainly not foolproof. Saying whether someone is lying or telling the truth is about as risky as forecasting next week’s weather!

Plus, of course, it’s one thing spotting that someone is lying when you meet them face to face and quite another when you can’t see them — either on the phone or online.

So, while recognizing the limitations of lie detection, we’ve put together a list of 12 clues and signals you can use to test your suspicion that someone is lying in a potential scam situation.

Again, these signs are hardly foolproof, but we believe you’ll find them helpful.

Let’s look at face-to-face meetings first.

1. The most obvious giveaway when someone is lying is lack of eye contact. They’ll look everywhere but at your eyes; their own eye pupils may expand (dilate). In fact, they may turn their whole body away from you.

2. In addition, they may use expressions that don’t match what they are saying, giving away their anxiety or guilt. Often, they use just their mouths to express humor or sadness but the rest of their face doesn’t change. And they can switch off their phony expressions in the blink of an eye, whereas genuine expressions tend to fade slowly.

3. The rest of their body language may be uneasy — like stiff or jerky — and they may touch their face (especially the nose) or throat, fiddle with their hair or rub the back of their neck (though this is also a sign of embarrassment or discomfort).

Now, let’s move on to common voice signals of lying. These may happen in face-to-face encounters or over the phone — and there are lots of them. They include:

4. The voice becomes rapid and/or high-pitched. It may be unsteady too. Scammers may speak in a single tone (monotone), spluttering out their words, and fail to emphasize pronouns like “you” or “I” as we do in normal conversation. They may omit the pronouns altogether.

5. Language becomes stilted. They may use full-out phrases like “do not” where most people would say “don’t.” Or they’ll repeat a particular phrase when denying it — such as instead of saying “I didn’t see it,” they’ll say “I did not see your PIN number.”

6. They pause and stumble if you ask them detailed questions on the subject about which they’re lying. They might claim to have forgotten the answer or try to change the subject, maybe even asking you a question instead.

7. You may hear noises in the background which contradict where or who the person claims to be.

Finally, let’s examine how to expose people who are lying online. This is the most difficult area, since you have no visual or verbal cues to help you.

It’s actually the subject of a government-funded study (called “The Dynamics of Digital Deception” — and that’s just the short version!).

This should be no surprise because, with the growth of Internet fraud, spurious email and perilous chat rooms, it’s probably the biggest lying arena of them all.

We know for sure, from research, that lying is rampant in online dating and friendship services, from the modest fib about age and looks (weight for women, height for men apparently) to dangerous lying about gender and intentions.

Again, some of the points we’ve listed above about verbal cues to lying apply here — and some of our online tips below may also apply to speaking and face-to face encounters. Here they are:

8. Sometimes they’ll change their answers, give vague replies or totally sidestep the issue, especially if you ask the same question by email or in chat rooms at different times. It’s a good way to test them.

9. Curious use of language. Often grammar is poor (see our scam language article) and explanations are long-winded. Research shows that in two-way “conversations” liars use “sense” words like “see,” “hear” and “feel” more than would be normal.

http://www.scambusters.org/scamlanguage.html

10. They become exasperated, sarcastic or even aggressive if you challenge their statements or claims, or if you persist in asking them questions.

11. Scammers and deceivers will often add in extra detail in an effort to convince you. Strong, long-winded protests of truth and innocence are a powerful pointer to lying.

12. And finally, an offbeat one — the use of spoofs and downright lies passed off as genuine stories on websites. You can usually spot these from the name of the site, by checking out other stories on the same site, or Googling the supposed subject.

We’ve taken it as a given, especially with online usage, that claims that seem too good to be true, stories that are sensational, pretexts for seeking information that should be confidential, and selfless claims to be just doing you a favor, should be highly suspect.

Remember though, now you have all these tips, that the scammers are just as well aware of them as you. So they try to get around them by, for instance, forcing themselves to make eye contact and otherwise controlling their body language.

But very few, if any, are smart enough to be able to get them all right at once. So keep your eyes peeled and your ears flapping for those signals. And above all, follow your hunches. They’re usually right.

Hope you enjoyed this article which appearred in a recent issue of the International Scambusters ezine.
