ReUnion that makes you money!
Here's an affiliate program that pays you when you refer a lead. US1.10 per Lead. So far, my commission from it is 14.30 dollars. Sometimes i got 2 leads per day, sometimes 0! It depends on how you promote the service to the world. By the way, it is only for US people to be able to sign up as ReUnion member. So don't try to become lead yourself. Read the term and condition.
The number of people signup as an affiliate is increasing. My total pending payment to date is $75 + $125 + $20 + $14.30 = $234.30

Update on my referral hits
My referrals are increasing! and i'm happy about it. But i still need more and more traffic. Although most of them came from my ppc campaigns, which are mostly high quality traffic and the conversion rate is reasonable, but it seems that my profit margin is not good enough.
i got 17 referrals and 45 dollars in pending payments.

My Reunion Commission so far
I got 13 Leads in my Reunion. It is consider very slow and my traffic per day was almost the same. I need to come up with a better strategy to increase my search engine's traffic. The Affiliate Marketing System provided by Tissa was brilliant! By the way, Merry Christmas to all people around the world! Have a wonderful Christmas Eve...:)

Today is my 21st day in the affiliate marketing world. Still learning and searching for extra knowledge in this sector. Affiliate marketing is quite new in my country compared with Network Marketing or Multi level Marketing MLM. If you look at the history of Affiliate Marketing Wikipedia, you'll see that the program already started since 1994. Only in the year 2000 until now the marketing technique has been widely used by internet marketers.
I'm still very new in this field, therefore if you're affiliate marketing guru, please give me some tips or introduce some programs to me. All the best! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

I received an email today, read it on if you want to improve your knowledge. It sounds like this:
Dear Valued Affiliate:
First of all I'd like to wish everyone Wonderful Holidays and Happy New Year! It's hard to believe this year is almost over... and hasn't it been a wild & crazy year?
I'm looking forward to 2009, especially since I will be attending my first Affiliate Summit January 11th through the 13th in Las Vegas. I would love to meet up with any affiliates who are attending ASW09, please be sure to email me if you are going to attend so we can set up arrangements to meet.
Well, as I was hoping would happen, it seems people are back on their computers and buying our products. In October our top 8 affiliates sales totaled 9,730 and in November our top 8 affiliates sales totaled 11,029.
November
#1: 4337 Sales
#2: 3239 Sales
#3: 908 Sales
#4: 764 Sales
#5: 495 Sales
#6: 460 Sales
#7: 431 Sales
#8: 395 Sales
We had quite a few affiliates who made bonuses on our November contests.
Congratulations to the 2 affiliates who earned a $100.00 bonus and to the 12 affiliates who earned a $50.00 bonus.
Keep up the great work!
I get some questions often so I thought I'd share them along with my answers. Obviously, this will never take the place of one-on-one assistance, so keep those emails coming in. I'm here to assist YOU!
Question: I'm not getting the results I expected. I planned to quit my job and live on my affiliate commissions after six months but so far I've only had a couple of sales.
Answer: Nine times out of ten, if results are not what you expect, it's due to a lack of traffic. You're not getting enough visitors to your site.
Many new marketers get the idea from some of the promises made by less-than-scrupulous gurus that all you have to do is put up a website with an affiliate link and you start making money.
But a website operates, in many ways, like a store. No matter how attractive the store is, unless someone comes through the door, there won't be a chance for sales. You need traffic coming in off the street.
For your website to have any chance to work, it must have traffic coming to it - and lots of it.
Most online traffic comes directly from the search engines. Google is the search engine leader. Yahoo! and Microsoft are next but together account for less than a third of the traffic going to sites. Your focus should be on getting listed as high as possible on the search engine results pages, starting with Google. The goal is to get listed on page one for your primary keywords.
The only sure way to get listed in the search results in a high-visibility position is through paid search advertising (pay per click) - Google Adwords or Yahoo! Search. You can place ads based on keywords by bidding an amount you're willing to pay each time a searcher clicks though your ad and is sent to your website. In general, the more you pay, the higher your position, though there are a number of other factors involved based on the search engine's policies. On less frequently searched keywords, you might pay 25 cents per click. On high volume keywords, the top bid could be as much as $30 or more per click.
An alternative or supplement is Search Engine Optimization. SEO is a multi-faceted practice where the purpose is to get your site listed high on the search engine results pages for free. The free listings are known as the "organic" or "natural" search results. The search engines decide where you get listed based on their evaluation of how relevant your website is to the keyword being searched for.
Both paid advertising and SEO work but SEO can be more challenging to succeed with and take more time. The approach you take will depend primarily on your budget and preferred strategy. If you don't plan to spend money on advertising, SEO is your only option.
Even if you do use paid advertising, though, you need to carefully analyze how much the ads cost versus how much you can make in commissions.
When you run an AdWords ad, you'll get a certain percentage of ones that click through. Of those that click through to visit your site, a certain percentage will convert, that is, act on your offer and buy what you're selling. In the main, those percentages are not high. It varies by product and offer, of course, but click-through ratios average around 2% of total impressions on search results pages. Conversion ratios often run around 1%.
So, if you want to make a $20 commission for one sale, you might need 100 visitors. To get those 100 visitors, you need about 5000 impressions. How quickly your ad gets that many impressions depends on how many searches are made for the keyword each day. Be sure to work through the numbers and verify that there's enough traffic overall to meet your goals and that the cost is going to leave you some profit.
Question: I'm getting traffic but I'm still not selling. What do I need to include on my website to make sure that I'm getting visitors to buy?
Answer: Here are three things I find critical to success:
1. Narrow Focus - don't be one of those sites that try to do too much. Most sites would benefit by better targeting. Don't sign up for a bunch of products and try to promote them all from the same site. Group similar types of products together and give them their own site. Many successful affiliates promote just one product per site.
2. Usefulness - make visitors glad they came to your site. Give them helpful information or an application that performs a useful function. Your site should reward the visitor by giving them what they want right away. If they reached the site because they wanted more information on how to find a long-lost friend, then the site ought to immediately tell them the best way to do that, or better yet, help them do it! The most effective sales approach is to serve before you try to sell, because that builds trust and confidence in the buyer's mind. On the Internet, the number one deterrent to sales is lack of trust.
3. Ease of Use - Be sure visitors can easily understand any navigation functions and especially the "next step" actions leading to a sale.
Your site doesn't have to be fancy or full of stunning graphics to be successful. It does need to be uncluttered and easy to understand. Otherwise visitors will click away as soon as they arrive because they don't quickly see what they came for.
If you're going to the expense and effort of building an affiliate marketing site, I suggest you start your by developing a marketing plan. Your plan doesn't need to be encyclopedic. Just answering the simple questions below could be enough.
1. What is the main product or service you want the site to promote?
2. What keywords would searchers looking for this product or service most likely use? i.e., brand name, type or category of product name
3. What problem will it solve or need will it fill and for whom?
4. What keywords would searchers looking for that solution or having that need be most likely to use?
5. What will you say or do on the site to overcome the prospect's lack of trust? 6. What action will the prospect need to take for you to make money?
7. How will you motivate them to take that action through you and not a competitor?
Answering these kinds of questions helps provide a target market and focus. The emphasis on keywords provides direction for getting traffic, through either SEO or paid search advertising. Basically, once you have your plan, you'll know what the website has to do and say.
Here's an example of the questionnaire completed using HostGator as an illustration:
1. What is the main product or service you want the site to promote?
BabyGator Hosting Account from HostGator
2. What keywords would searchers looking for this product or service most likely use?
Web host, web hosting provider, host, hosting service, etc.
3. What problem will it solve or need will it fill and for whom?
Economical web hosting for affiliate marketers, helps affiliate marketers save money
4. What keywords would searchers looking for that solution or having that need be most likely to use?
Cheap web hosting, affiliate marketing host, low cost hosting
5. What will you say or do on the site to overcome the prospect's lack of trust?
Provide free Comparison Reviews of the top five cheap web hosts
6. What action will the prospect need to take for you to make money?
Click on your affiliate link button, go to the vendor's site and sign up. 7. How will you motivate them to take that action through you and not a competitor?
Offer a limited-time-offer discount coupon that reduces the price of the Host Gator account even more.
Question: How much can I really make from affiliate marketing?
Answer: Affiliate marketing offers a wide range of potential. In my experience, there are three levels of affiliate marketing:
Level 1: Super Affiliates - make six and seven figures annually. Many grow to the point where they have organizations with full-time support staff. Super Affiliates are big users of email marketing and paid search advertising. For example, one affiliate at this level makes over a million a year in commission from a single product, but spends $600,000 or more on advertising.
One of the Super Affiliate here
Level 2: Mid-Level Affiliates - make from a few thousand dollars to high five figures a year. Though approaches vary, many of these folks rely on a volume strategy. Each website they set up may only average $30 - $50 per month but they set up dozens or even hundreds of websites over time. Sometimes, affiliates who don't have an advertising budget initially will start this way, and then reinvest early earnings in advertising and move up to the Super Affiliate level.
- a large percentage of people who get interested in affiliate marketing make, at best, a few dollars before they move on to some other opportunity. They never commit to affiliate marketing because they were just looking for a way to make money without much effort. When they discover that it takes a bit of work, they're gone.
Affiliate marketing can be lucrative but like most businesses, the time, energy, and money you put into it has a great deal to do with how much you get out of it. Folks that don't plan on investing a lot of money up front, but rather want or need to use sweat-equity to build the business have to commit to it long-term. Approached from that standpoint, it can provide good consistent returns over time.
And if you're ambitious, there's virtually no limit to what you can make as an affiliate marketer.
Best regards and I hope to see you in Las Vegas,
Jan
