If you just stumbled upon this post, this is part 2 in a 3 part lesson in how to increase your daily earnings and in turn your standard of living. You can find part one here: http://networkprocoach.com/affiliate-marketing/increase-your-standard-of-living-a-three-part-series-pt-1
For those who are returning – Thank you, I hope you find todays post as informative as it’s meant to be!
Did you make sure you have all your accounts setup? Remember? Clickbank, PayPal, and PayDotCom.
The first step we’ve taken is we’ve ensured that we have our accounts setup so we’ll be sure we receive proper credit (and our profits) on product referrals.
After all… think about this. There are so many people online who’ve spent months… if not years… developing amazing, top-shelf products and services.
- They’ve spent countless hours creating and designing their products
- They’ve spent thousands of dollars in their sales copy and web design.
- They’ve spent endless energy tweaking and perfecting their offer to bring in maximum sales for each website visitor.
- They dedicate most of their time to providing good customer service after a sale
- The list goes on and on…
These people have already dedicated their lives to their products and yet they’re eager and willing to give you a HUGE commission for anyone you refer to them that buys their product!
WOW! What a great opportunity… huh? There’s literally tens of thousands of top quality products and/or services available online that are worth 100 times their price tag… yet so many people browsing the internet don’t even know these products exist!
What a shame! And we’re here to change all that (and in an ULTRA- CLEVER way)!
Obviously… if certain people browsing the Internet knew about a particular product or service that was going to help them in their trying situation in life or business… chances are they’d probably buy… right?
Why wouldn’t they? After all, if I could spend a mere $50 for a piece of software that was going to save me 6 hours a day from writing emails… you could bet your bootie I’d buy it! And if I purchased from a link that you referred me from… that would be $25 in your pocket!
Seriously though… if I could buy an e-book that would explain to me how to settle my IRS Tax Debt for pennies on the dollar and I happened to owe the IRS $60,000… do you think I’d be just a little bit interested in finding out more about the book?
Or… what if my Golden Retriever was doing his “dirty work” all over my house at night? Do you think I might have some interest in an information-packed e-book called “5 Quick And Easy Steps To Housebreaking Your Golden Retriever“?
Of course I would! And that’s where this system takes control!
It’s simply gonna be our job to let people out there know about all the terrific products and services available online and why they’d have to be a fool not to take advantage of them.
So… Are your brain muscles starting to flex a little now? Are you starting to think of the possibilities?
I certainly hope so because by the time we’ve finished these lessons… you’re gonna be a world class product endorser making $100 A Day… GUARANTEED!
Now… I’m sure by now you’re familiar with “Affiliate Programs“.
If not, I’ll briefly explain:
An affiliate program is a program where a merchant will pay you a commission to refer people to their website. If your referral buys… you make a substantial cut of the profit. You receive a “special” link that has your affiliate ID in it and that’s how the merchant knows you’re the person who referred the sale to them.
It seems nowadays everywhere you turn webmasters are enticing their website visitors into clicking on a banner or a link and then you’re instantly re-directed to an affiliate’s website to buy – - CHING!
And that’s a great thing!
The problem is… most of us are becoming more and more “blinded” by all the flashy banners and links we see on every web page we visit… and that means less and less profits for those websites who spend a significant amount of time, money, and effort into promoting these programs.
Do these webmasters make money from their referrals? Yup! Do they make a lot of money? Well… that would depend on the amount of traffic they get to their website and the clever strategies they use to send people off to their affiliate partners.
But you really need to consider these factors as well:
- How much time do they spend out of their day updating, adding and editing their affiliate links (remember… time is money).
- How many costs are involved in hosting and maintaining their website.
- And most importantly… How much money do they spending getting all the traffic to their website.
These three big factors (amongst other things) can make or break the success of any website.
Think about it…
If Joe Webmaster makes $1000 a week from affiliate referrals but he spends 15 hours a day at his computer, spends $300 a week hosting and maintaining his website, and spends $700 a week on marketing, search engine optimization, and internet advertising… Do you think Joe Webmaster is making a nice living online?
Hell No!
This poor sap is spending his entire life on his business and coming out at a break even point at best. Yes… he could brag to all of his friends about how he gets a “hefty” check every month for X amount of dollars from his affiliate partners… but he’s only kidding himself and practically wasting his life away in the process!
Plus… many of us aren’t web designers so we’d need to pay to have a site designed and maintained and that could end up being a huge expense in itself – cutting into our profits from our affiliate commissions.
I don’t want to spend my life in front of my computer! And… I want to be able to see a real profit from my efforts online! And I certainly don’t want to have to rely on someone else to update my website for me… NO WAY!
Wouldn’t you agree? And that’s why my system doesn’t require a fancy website, 15 hour days in front of the computer, or a big advertising budget to see any real profit!
As I mentioned previously…. all you need is a computer, an affiliate account or two… and a keyboard… that’s it!
So here’s Step 2 in the System….
For now, forget the website or big advertising budget!
We don’t need it!
We’re going to capitalize on an ingenious method where we simply write one article a day (approximately 700-1000 words) and in that article we offer a detailed, unbiased review of someone else’s product. That’s it!
Then, we’re simply going to submit our article (product review) to some of the most popular article directories online – directories where people browsing the web frequently visit to read on specific information they’re searching for.
The good news… many of these article directories get tens of thousands of hits per day. They’re all well ranked in the search engines already so they’ve done the marketing for us
.
Talk about exposure for our articles!
Anyway… rest assured, I’m also going to provide you with a system to submit your articles to hundreds (even thousands) of these directories with just a click of your mouse.
Plus, I’m going to share with you some of the most popular directories out there so that you can check them out for yourself (Hey! I told you you’d have to do some homework on your own!)
So.. just to recap a bit….
- We’ve setup a few affiliate accounts with Clickbank, etc
- We’re going to find some products we’re interested in reviewing and write a short product review about that product.
- We’ll then submit these article to some popular article directories.
And here’s the kicker…
Once we’ve written our article, we are afforded the opportunity to place a small “About The Author” byline at the bottom of each of our articles. Many article publishers use this “ad space” to tell people a little about themselves and then also place a link back to their website. We’re going to use this small ad space to place a brief note about our affiliates website and also use our special “affiliate link” in the process.
This way, when someone reads our rave review about a particular product, they just might want to learn a little more about it. So, they simply click on the link at the bottom of our article and VIOLA!
We get credit for the referral and more importantly a commission if this person decides to buy the product.
The more articles you have written, the more money you’ll begin to see coming in from all those affiliate referrals.
Cool huh?
And, by using affiliate accounts through Clickbank and PayDotCom, they handle all the tracking and also issue your commissions on a set schedule so you don’t have to worry about whether or not you’re accurately getting credit for your referrals or getting paid on time. They handle EVERYTHING and they do a great job in the process!
Tomorrow I’m going to go over some of the most popular article directories and I’m going to show you a few tools you could use to submit your articles to these directories with ease!
So, for your homework tonight… why not jump on over to Google and do some searches for “article directories”. Then, take a look at some of the articles you see there and also check out the various topics that you can browse.
Also, pay special attention to the “about the author” sections and also the style and formatting most article publishers use for their articles. I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised at the wealth of information available that you probably didn’t even know existed.
It’s a golden opportunity.
Increase your standard of living – A three part series. Pt.1

Everyone wants to hit their first million, yet how many people out there are struggling to make $30,000/year?
You see, I’m from Michigan, near Detroit actually, so I know a little bit about struggling. Michigan has one of the highest unemployment rates in the country, and it’s only getting worse with the auto industry coming to a screeching halt. In this series, I’m going to show you how to build a stream of income that will help ease the frustrations of your day to day life.
Ask yourself this question, “Would I like to make an extra 400$ a month?”. If you answered no, what the heck are you pushin, cause I want in. Literally everyone I know could immediatly better thier lives if they added this stream of income to their lives.
I’m going to share with you every single secret I have to being a success. First and foremost, you need to realize that you’ll have to do your share of homework and most importantly WORK THE PLAN I give you in order to see the type of results you’re looking for.
The truth is… so many folks set out to start a profitable online business but the reason they fall short is usually because they spend all their time researching and reading as much information as humanly possible and they fail to do what’s most important – set a proven plan into motion.
The goal with this series is just the opposite… I plan to have you set a plan into motion as soon as possible and start making money. What an interesting concept… eh?
After all, you can’t make any money online just reading and studying… You need to take action. So make sure you not only read this valuable information but more importantly you put the information to good use… and you do it as quickly as possible!
So, let’s talk for a moment about how you can earn $100 a day… shall we?
I’m sure your curiosity is over boiling right now wondering just how easy it’s gonna be to make $100 a day. After all, I’m sure plenty of so called “Gurus” have already promised you instant riches… right? So what exactly makes this any different from the rest?
Well, that’s a fair question and one I’m eager to answer right off the top!
- This system is different because I personally use it each and everyday and I’m living proof that if you work the plan – the plan works!
- You don’t need a fancy website to be able to make a profit with my system.
- You don’t need a product of your own to sell with my system.
- You don’t need to offer any particular services with my system.
- And you definitely don’t need a basement full of junk to sell on eBay with my system.
Understand this however… Rome wasn’t built in a day and it’s going to take a little time, effort and dedication on your part to see substantial results.
Time and effort are definite requirements.
The good news, if you put in ample time and effort… once you start seeing the results… that’s when the fun starts.
Once you start making money online (even if it’s just $10 a day to start) you quickly realize that it really is possible to make money online – that this plan really does work - and that’s when you’ll start to really implement more and more of the information and strategies you’re about to discover…
… and that’s when you’ll begin to see your profits steadily increasing every single day.
Really! It’s that simple. Those folks who never make any money online don’t succeed because they never get to a point where they see any real, measurable results. So what do they do? They usually just give up.
I want you to see results quickly and understand exactly why you’re getting those results!
Remember this… the Internet is the information highway and everyone browsing the net is looking for information. You need to be able to provide some informative information to fellow “surfers” in order to be successful (and stay successful) online.
And the good news is, a lot of folks have already created a wealth of information for you and they’re willing to let you share in their profits simply by recommending their products and services to others.
And that’s exactly what we’re gonna do… provide informative information while RECOMMENDING products and services to others through effective writing and communication (and it’s gonna be simple and fun!)
And we’ll talk much more about that in our next lesson
You’re gonna be amazed at just how simple and profitable a little writing and communicating can be
So before we jump ahead of ourselves lets review…
Step 1
You don’t need a product or service, you don’t need a website… you really don’t need much of anything.
JUST THE ABILITY TO WRITE A GOOD RECOMMENDATION for someone else’s product!
So… for today’s lesson… here’s what I want you to do.
Make sure you have a PayPal Account, Clickbank account and a PayDotCom account setup for yourself. That’s most important! That’s how we’re gonna get paid
And all are quick and easy to setup.
Go to http://www.Clickbank.com for your Clickbank Account.
Go to http://www.Paypal.com for your Paypal account.
Go to http://www.PayDotCom.com for your PayDotCom account.
If you already have any of these accounts setup… GREAT! You’re already two steps ahead of the rest of the class.
So… go get those accounts setup and we’ll tackle some specifics steps tomorrow

What Network Marketing is NOT and Common Mistakes to Avoid
July 21, 2009 by Ray MacDonald
Filed under MLM Tips
Comments Off
What Network Marketing is NOT
- It is NOT an INVESTMENT PROGRAM! Just because you bought a business opportunity, it will forever be a business ‘opportunity’ and not a business if you sit and do nothing. This is not Unit Trust or Mutual funds or a Fixed Deposit Savings Account. The money doesn’t grow by you becoming a distributor. The more you invest doesn’t mean you will necessarily earn more.
- It is NOT a GET RICH QUICK SCHEME! Those who make it big in MLM within a short time are the EXCEPTION to the NORM. Do you have what they have? (The experience, built trusts, contacts, paid the price) Everyone who has made it had all paid the price.
- It is NOT totally a SALES RECRUITMENT PROGRAM. Some like to sell. Some are salespersons, being good in sales will not make you succeed in MLM.
- It is not MUSICAL CHAIRS. It is never about whom gets there first, sponsor a few people then sit down and watch the group build itself while the latecomers miss out on the opportunity forever. Remember that if the downline works harder, they will eventually earn more than their uplines.
- It is not a 9-5 JOB. In a 9-5 job, some people get away without doing any work sometimes (they still get their salary). But it is very obvious in Network Marketing that what you GIVE is what you GET.
- It is not a CLONING MACHINE. I am not down playing the need for uniformity and like-mind direction but remember that EVERYONE is DIFFERENT. Different people have a different personal touch when it comes to recruiting. Their relationships with their prospects vary from groups to groups.
- It is NOT a 100 METER DASH. It is a marathon. Business builders must pace themselves over a period of time. Going ‘all out’ to the point of exhaustion is just bad because it is the quality of the work that counts, not the quantity. Don’t ‘close the back door’ or jump into the deep end without a float.
- It is DEFINITELY not a RELIGION. Please never ever treat your business like it is the ONLY business worth getting into (friend, if you don’t get into MY MLM and if you join others, you are not my friend). They are NOT losers if they don’t join you! Please don’t ever, EVER do this. You will lose a lot of true friends.
3 Quick And Easy Ways To Build A Profitable Opt In List

You finally realize that you need a good opt-in list. After reading countless articles and sought expert advices and have read many success stories of people creating a small fortune with opt-in lists you finally decide to have one of your own. Then it happens, you think you have known everything there is to know about opt-in lists and have followed their advices to the T and you still weren’t able to make a profit.
In fact, you may be losing money. You maybe hiring writers to help you out, or there are some expenses incurred, even if you have a big list, but only a very small percentage actually buys from you, your still losing profit. You’ll realize that after a few months when you see your statistics and sales figures.
So what could have gone wrong? Why have others succeeded where you have failed?
