Alright, you’ve taken everyone’s advice. EVERY successful being on the internet has also don’t it. What did they do? They Created their own e-book. Now, you’ve probably created a website with a killer sales page, and now you’re sitting back waiting for the flood of sales.

Then you realize… That flood, it’s a bit of a trickle really isn’t it?

What happened to those promises of instant wealth and making a six figure income within a week of starting up … well, the people that told you that… WANTED YOU TO BUY THEIR EBOOK! They never told you that it would be as hard as hell to sell the product. You could make 6 figures yearly… if you owned a website like Google! Lol.

So you’re wondering, Edward, how do I turn that trickle into a flood? The answer is that you have to leverage the power of affiliates.

What are affiliates then? (You probably know already… J.)

If you don’t though, let me explain it to you:

Affiliates are people who want to promote your product to their list or on their website. Yep, you heard me – THEY WANT TO PROMOTE YOUR PRODUCT! They are your sales force!

You pay these people a percentage of the sale price and they will promote your product until they are blue in the face. What a wonderful concept – free money for you! Your affiliates don’t get paid a dime unless they make the sale – pure performance based pay, which means to you, no outgoings until you’ve had the money coming in.

Now here comes the point that trips up so many people – why would you want to pay an affiliate commission?

Let me respond by asking you a question, which of these two would you prefer
1) 50% of $97
Or
2) 50% of $00

Take as long as you want to think about it, but I know exactly which I’d prefer. What about you?

This is where you have that dawning moment of realization and say, “I get it Edward” …this is the power of affiliates. Effectively they are bringing in free money for you. Sure, you’re not getting the full price of the product, but you are getting a percentage of it, which you would never have got before hand. So, still try to promote it yourself in ADDITION to the affiliates, and see how much more money they bring in you.

Who wouldn’t enjoy having free money flooding into their account around the clock whilst they had breakfast with the family, enjoyed a round of golf or lazed around on the beach? (If you don’t live near one… you may consider taking your private jet to it? Ok… maybe you won’t be that rich…hehe.)

The true beauty of running an affiliate program is that you are gaining exposure to huge amounts of people for absolutely no cost on your part. (Unless you sign up to a paid one… usually $10-$100 one-time fee.

Your affiliates pay for all the marketing costs and all you do is take the payment and pay the affiliate. What a great deal!

Why are there affiliates then you ask? Why don’t they just create their own product? Well, the answer is the same answer to this question, “Why do people work 9-5 for the big man, when they could be the big man himself?” You know the answer to both… because they don’t know how to.

Creating a product is only the first step in making money. AFFILIATE is the key. Start your own affiliate program today. I have included some links below… they’re the top three affiliate programs.
