Affiliate Marketing Secrets

The phone calls never stopped; bill collectors are a determined lot and I was actually pretty happy when the phone company shut our service off for non-payment. I had lost my job and the end was near. If I could not figure out how to make money during this recession, life as we once knew it would be gone. Late one night as I paced the floors with worry, I got an email from a friend. She was in the same boat as we were. Her husband had lost his job and they nearly lost their home… but then she discovered two little words that changed her life: Affiliate Marketing! 

I sure hope you have not stopped reading! I nearly did but this was a good friend of mine who would not lead me down the wrong path. Yes, lack of money can make people do desperate things but she would not take advantage of me and my family by getting us involved in some hair-brained Internet Marketing scheme, of that I was sure.

I read the email and she was talking about how she had come across a way to make extra money during this recession. It was called Affiliate Marketing and the idea behind it was pretty simple and made a lot of sense. You would find a crowd of people who had a desperate need or desire and then match them up with someone who had what they were hungry for. Find a starving crowd, see what they are hungry for and then give it to them… yes, that sounded straight forward enough.

Seems a lot of people all over the world are hungry for information that will help them solve a problem they have. Things like how to lose weight, how to save their marriage, how to save energy, how to fix their plumbing, how to start a vegetable garden… you name it, the list is endless. Through Affiliate Marketing you find someone who has written a book that solves these problems and sign up to promote their product for free. Now I’m not talking physical books here, I’m talking about digital, online books that people can read right on their computer screens as soon as they make payment. When an online purchase is made you will receive a generous commission for your efforts from the creator of the product.

And you know what? These books do not have printing and shipping costs associated with them so the commissions the owners pay out are incredibly high! It is so amazing but you definitely need to know what you are doing, but once you do, the amount of money you can make online with Affiliate Marketing is quite amazing! Recession, what recession?

A) Triassic
B) Permian
C) Jurassic
D) Cretaceous
The largest mass extinction of the Paleozoic Era was:
A) at the end of the Cretaceous
B) at the end of the Permian
C) at the middle of the Jurassic
D) extinctions never happened

(1) By successful criminality, e,g, Dick Turpin who supposedly escaped hanging by riding to York and obtaining an alibi there (the jury could not believe he could have gotten himself so soon after his misdeed). The fact that the ride was done (in 1739) by someone else has never been allowed by the Great British Public to besmirch his reputation
(2) By becoming a successful self-publicist, e.g. Ben Franklin
(3) By becoming outstandingly useful, e.g. Sam Johnson who in 1755 published the first decent dictionary, which gave everyone who could buy or otherwise access it a means to “correct” their spelling
(4) Through outrageous sex, e.g France’s transvestite diplomat-spy, the Chevalier d’Eon or a little later in the century, the Duchess of Devonshire who won Charles James Fox his parliamentary seat by offering to kiss anyone voting for him (no secret ballot to hide one’s choice!).
(5) Through entertainment, e.g. David Garrick, actor manager of Drury Lane’s Theatre Royal in the 1760s-70s, or Sam Richardson’s realization that women were an almost untapped market for sexy novel writing (his first success, Clarissa, coming out in 1748)
BUT ABOVE ALL:
(6) Sport. If a stallion can be a person, then “Whistlejacket” the most famous racehorse of the age in his 1762 portrait by Stubbs still holds the pride of place in London’s National Gallery that Paris gives to the Mona Lisa, Amsterdam to Rembrandt’s Night Watch and Madrid to Velasquez’s Las Meninas: and you cannot have greater celebrity than that!.
