The Step-By-Step Affiliate Marketing Process
Hey everyone, I’ve been asked to do a step-by-step guidance through affiliate marketing. I must have figured everyone would have got it by now! Well, anyhow, here’s what I’ll do to break it down and make sure you know what you are doing. In fact, why don’t I just throw in some additional stuff into the process while we’re at it.
STEP #1 - Build a site.
If you want to build a site, it’s dead easy. You could probably do this in your sleep. Just remember to use a free resource if you don’t know how to do any HTML stuff. Oh, and even if you do, just check this resource out. It’s REALLY COOL - especially great help for people who are in the stone ages where the HTML and website coding is concerned. In any case, a blog should do just fine.
Come on - it’s not THAT hard to do. You can follow some of the videos here - best of all I made them for FREE. Took me a painful amount of time to structure it and render them, but this is supposed to be a community!
STEP #2 - Search relevant keywords
Remember to go to http://Inventory.Overture.com to get some keywords. If you are hard core, you would buy the keyword software that I use. It’s not cheap, mind you, but saves me the hassle of thinking. Lolz. Always remember to have a keyword that is NON COMPETITIVE. We talked about Results on Google and Searches on Overture in our previews. If you’ve missed it, I won’t be having many for long. Call 62740105 for the educational sessions or register at www.iMoneySecrets.com.
Step #3 - Generate Content
If you know how much effort went into this website, you’d know how much content to create. Essentially, you want targeted content for people to continue to visit your site. Simple thing to do when creating content is to partner up with a writer or pay a ghost writer at www.Elance.com to get your writing done. I’ve also heard a lot about www.Guru.com but I don’t use them… yet. Now… I’m talking about really solid content here, not just cut and paste stuff. If you don’t know where to get them, you can search the public domain as well as article directories. PLEASE do yourself a favor and modify the content so that search engines won’t count them as duplicates.
Step #4 - Search an affiliate network
I suggest you start off with niches available in www.ClickBank.com, www.CJ.com or even www.Amazon.com. Register with them, keep the passwords handy and start pasting some RELATED items in your website/blog.
Step #5 - Continue To Build Traffic
It’s laughable that people generate a site then expect in the next 2 hours to have an avalanche of money coming in. IT DOENS’T WORK THAT WAY. Invite people to visit the site. If your site is junk to them, FIND OUT WHY and improve. If you just dedicate around 10-15 minutes of your time to get people into your site and make the environment safe and friendly, people will come back again.
Step #6 - Get an autoresponder
Now, I’m not privvy to teach this, but when you get this autoresponder, you will learn from the videos that are there. It’s straightforward and after you’re used to it, you’ll be doing it like clockwork. Practice makes perfect.
Why you need this is simple. If you don’t use it, you will end up with passing visitors who won’t get a chance to know that you’ve updated your site. Also, relevant information will lead to you understanding what your visitor wants. Thus, you can send emails and send them to an affiliate link, thereby making commissions off of that.
If any of this sounds too tedious for you, I’ll walk you through the process in my webinar, which I intend to conduct sometime next week. To be informed, please register yourself in the comments box in this post, and I’ll send out a general invite to you, and the passcodes, etc. for my webconference room (which, by the way, I pay US$30 a month for… and if you want to help me recoup this cost without paying money, simply ask a friend to visit my site - that’s it!).
I know it might be difficult to visualize everything right now, but hey - this is as simple as it gets. Affiliate marketing is suitable for anyone, any age, any race, religion, interest group… you name it, as long as you have a way to communicate, you can make money from affiliate marketing.
Now - I’ve done a quick calculation here. I spent over US$25,000 in my first year in internet marketing. I spent US$40,000 this being my second year. Lol - and you are getting this for free.
Listen, I’ll challenge you very simply. If you get this done, I’ll list you on my site at www.SingaporeHallOfFame.com and recognize you as a profitable internet marketer and feature you in an interview so that you can get even more traffic to your site. My criteria? A solid site, a monthly (3 months sustained) of at least S$1000 in extra income from Affiliate Marketing. That’s it!
Not only will you get the recognition, I’ll know that you’re serious, then show you how to get to the $5,000 a month level. After all, no point convincing skeptics out there who don’t believe even a dollar can be made online.
Why am I doing this? Look - let’s be realistic. If I don’t have to spend all my time convincing you, then it’s simpler for me. I’d rather work more with you guys than with the people who are total skeptics. It takes less effort.
Hey - if you are interested in jumping ahead right away, you can let me coach you and guide you for the next year. Yep - 12 months regular consultation. Obviously, that will come at a price, but definitely more targeted. 
If you’re interested in joining in, then you have to leave a comment below. I’m warning you, only those who are interested in taking that tuition and receiving a positive return on investment within the year should opt in.
If anyone is skeptical, I won’t blame you! Hehe… by the time skeptics come to WANT me as a coach, it’d probably be at least 5 times more expensive to have me as a consultant! ^_^
Anyhow, let’s hope that there are people who appreciate the flow I’ve listed here. No harm just giving it a shot!

By the way, I just emailed you on the coaching program.

Hi! Stuart,
I think the title “Internet Marketing Coaching” sounds better than “mentoring”. From your blog I believe you are sincere in wanting to help others succeed - after all, the internet offers unlimited opportunities to those who seek them. I venture to say that the underlying principle of “give and you will receive” should take you far, Stuart. Of course there is a price to pay to learn and I wonder if many people here can afford to pay your fee. However, in your spirit of building a community I think it will be sensible! Perhaps you want to share your thoughts?
Best wishes,
Gordon

Hi guys, anyone know the next date for the preview seminar ? Tried to submit the registration request yesterday and poped - seminar on 12 Oct 2006. =\
By the way in addition to the step # 2, you guys could use pixelfast - include a bid offer listing (how much people are paying for the keywords) or keyword metric tools - pretty informative with statistic charts.
For review on the keyword tools
