Virtual Property Agent – How To Make Money On-line With Almost Zero Investment

Being an affiliate marketer is simple. Doing it properly to generate maximum commissions is easy too. And so why do so many are unsuccessful as online affiliate marketers? They struggle to succeed simply because they don’t learn the clever strategies used by the ‘big guns’. The waiting is over. It’s now time to reveal to the world the secret tactics of the affiliate marketing elite.

Affiliate marketing is really a simple concept based on someone (the affiliate) promoting somebody else’s product in return for a fee for the sales they generate. A two tier affiliate program takes the process a stage additional to produce much more commissions.

Here’s an example. Let’s say you discovered a website selling golf equipment that had a two tier affiliate program. If you registered, you could promote those equipment and earn, say, 50% commission for every sale that you made – first tier. You could then go and engage second tier affiliates. These would be people who either possess a large email list or perhaps a website related to the golf market you are promoting. If they promoted, you’d get a percentage of their sales too, which could be about 10% for example.

But how do you actually go about implementing this approach successfully? Below are my top four secret techniques to maximise your chances of success being a two tier affiliate marketer / virtual property broker.

One. The very best websites to broker for are ones that:

1) Pay at a minimum of $10 for every sale your second tier (or sub) affiliate makes. (American websites have a tendency to offer more favourable commissions). With a $10 commission rate you could make some significant cash brokering deals with people who have lists of 1000 upwards.

2) Have a “cookie” tracking system for their affiliate program. That maximises the probability of you getting your commission whether your sub affiliate signs up the first time they visit the site you are brokering for, or the twentieth time.

3) Offer ready made marketing materials. This means you may take their promotion email and then send it to your sub affiliates. All they have to do is sign up to the program, copy and paste the ready created email promotion into their email broadcasting software and hit send. This really is the clincher as it makes it quick, easy and free for your sub affiliates to make money.

Two. Finding sites to broker for

Initially it is best to broker for sites that you’re keen on. The more inspired you are the quicker the cash will come in. (if you’re stuck for ideas go to www.clickbank.com and search in ‘promote products’ and ‘marketplace’. Please note Clickbank doesn’t have two tier affiliate programs).

Now it’s simply a question of finding a site related to your market. Go to Google and type in “(niche) two tier affiliate program”. Then search through the outcomes and find a website with a two tier affiliate program which matches the criteria above. Sign up, get your affiliate link, then it’s time for you to move on.

Three. Finding marketers to contact

There are a few easy ways to discover more potential deals to broker than you could ever have the time to do so. The best tactic would be to find people with ready made email lists of people you know have an interest in the product you are brokering for. Then, one email could potentially create thousands.

Visit Google again and type in “(niche) ezine” or “(niche) eletter”. For example, type in “weight loss ezine” and then hit Google search. You’ll see thousands of results. Now obviously not every single one of these will be a site with a weight loss ezine (or e-letter) but thousands if not tens of thousands will. And then it’s just a case of visiting the site, finding the “contact us” page and then sending them an email.

Four. Contacting marketers

Next you will need to send out single emails (strictly no spam). It’s one email for one site owner and that’s it. Since this really is a business proposal it is definitely not seen as spam. On the other hand, sending out one e-mail to hundreds might possibly be, plus you won’t get anyone promoting for you anyway doing it that way.

Your email should be less than 500 words because people are busy and do not wish to wade through a stranger’s waffle. It should include:

1) The name of the website in which you found information about the ezine.

2) The name of this ezine owner.

3) An explanation which by simply sending out an email or adding a graphic to their website they can make money. In addition explain there are marketing materials are already provided so their work is minimal.

4) Directions for them to just click on your link inside the email and sign up to the affiliate program then they’re all set to make some more cash.

And that’s it. Go through the list of websites with an ezine related to yours and send them an email. Keep track of who you are contacting, and occasionally log to the two tier site you are brokering for and see how much money you’ve made.

Finally we’re all on a level playing field. Both the experienced and the newbie’s have got an equal chance of success due to the fact that for once reputation, marketing knowledge or financial clout doesn’t matter. Not only that, but you don’t even need your very own website or product!
