Projects-The Fastest Way To Make Money As A New Affiliate
The Fastest Way To Make Money As A New Affiliate With No List, No Traffic, And Heck...You Don't Even Need A Website!"
Sounds too good to be true, doesn't it?
Well, it's not and let me prove it to you.
If there's anything I want you to take away from the lessons I've been sending you so far, it's what I'm about to show you in this lesson. It's my favorite way to make quick money as an affiliate (not a JV partner), and it's something that anyone can do, from anywhere in the world with internet access.
So, here's what we're going to do...
We're going to find a product that we can promote. We're then going to promote the product using ONLY Google Adwords. We're going to send the visitor directly to the product "sales page". And then we're going to let Adwords send people to the page while we do literally nothing once it's set up.
Sound good? Good...
Let's get started.
The first thing to know is that there are 2 different kinds of products you can promote as an affiliate. The first being a direct sale product. This is the typical kind of product where you would promote something that somebody is selling, and you'd get a fixed commission percentage on the sale.
These are products exactly like we've talked about up to this point.
The second type of product is a "pay per lead" product. The way these products work is that you refer people to a free offer. The person opts in by filling out their name, email, address etc. for FREE. Then, the company pays you x dollars for every "lead" that you send them.
To me, that model sounds the easiest to promote. All you have to do is get people to sign up to a free offer and you get x dollars per referral.
That's the type of product we're going to be promoting in this example. Let me show you how to find products like this.
The first thing you'll need to do is go to Commission Junction at cj.com.
Create a free account with them.
To signup, you can go directly here:
https://signup.cj.com/member/publisherSignUp.do
Commission Junction is a giant affiliate network. It's similar to Clickbank.com, but it ONLY sells physical/tangible products, rather than digital/downloadable products.
Once you have an account, go ahead and login and you'll be taken to the main user admin screen.

This will take you to the page where you can select a specific category of products that you would like to promote. There are a ton of different categories to choose from, but I typically stick to the "health and wellness" category.

So, go ahead and click on that main category and you'll be taken to a page that lists all of the products in the health and wellness category.
Next, click on the column heading that says "network earnings" as shown below.

This will sort the column from those products that are brand new, to those products that people are making the most money promoting.
We want to focus on the "new" products in this example. The "new" products are ones that have just been added to the Commission Junction marketplace, so they're vendors that aren't sure how much money they should be giving out to affiliates on a "per lead basis".
* So, they just make their best guess, almost always it's way more than what they can afford to give out... But this is good for us an affiliate.
After we click the "network earnings" column header, I'm going to scroll down the page and I've found a product that pays out $14.00 for every lead I give them! 14 bucks. That's alot of money for just having someone fill out a simple form for free.

Next, click the "view links" link so you can view the specific landing page that you'll be sending visitors to. When I do that, I see this screen where I'm going to click the "text link" link as shown below.

From here I would click the join program button and get my unique affiliate link, but for the purpose of this lesson I'm going to click the "view destination page" link so I can show you the specific web page that I'll be promoting via Google Adwords.

After I click the "view destination page" link, I'm taken to their website. You'll notice that all a visitor has to do is fill out a simple form and click the submit button. After they do that, I'm awarded $14! How easy it that? :-)

Alright, so there we have it. We have a product to promote. We have our affiliate link. Now all we have to do is use Google Adwords to promote our affiliate link.
We'll login to our Adwords account. Create a campaign. Add a bunch of keywords to our campaign. And write an add that gets people to click on our Adwords ad. Always use the word "free" in your ad title to get more clicks on your ad.
You can use the various free keyword tools out there, like Wrdtracker's free keyword tool, to come up with a good keyword list. You can go to Wordtracker's free keyword tool here:
http://freekeywords.wordtracker.com
And that's all there is to it. We'll get $14 for every single person that fills out that basic optin form! Pretty crazy, eh? :-)
Alright, now let's take this a step further. Rather than messing around with "guessing" which keywords I should use to advertise my affiliate link, what I'm going to do is use Affiliate Elite to get the keywords for someone else that's advertising this offer, OR a similar offer.
This is really really powerful. I can input any website into Affiliate Elite and it will tell me all the keywords that website is bidding on! No service anywhere in the world can do this. Until now, only Google could tell you what keywords someone was bidding on.
But, being the logical thinker I am, we figured out a way to get all the keywords that someone is bidding on.
Here's how.
Step 1: Open up Affiliate Elite
Step 2: Select project 2 titled "reverse Google search"
Step 3: Input the website address that we want to get the keywords for. To figure out which website we want to get the keywords from, we'll go to Google and input a keyword that's related to the product we're promoting. In our case, it's "Boston Medical Group". So when we go to Google and input that, this is what we see...
I know the subject is pretty crude, but stick with me for a moment. You can use this concept with any type of pay per lead program. I just happened to pick this one first, as it was the first one I came across for this example.
Notice the website on the right? That's someone else advertising this offer. So that's the website we want to figure out what keywords they're using!

So, we'll insert www.bostonmedicalgroup.com into Affiliate Elite and click ok as shown below.

After we do this, Affiliate Elite will return a giant list of every single keyword this website is bidding on, as well as the exact ads they're using! Some crazy cool information here!

I know, I know... The keywords are all pretty vulgar sounding, so again, just ignore that in this example and use the "concept" I'm teaching :-)
Anyway, then... all we have to do is take those keywords and plug them into our Adwords account and guess what? We WILL make money too.
Then, just rinse and repeat as many times as you want, for as many DIFFERENT pay per lead programs you can find in Commission Junction!
It's just that darn easy folks.
This is something that you could do. Or you could hire someone to do this for you, all day long. It's quite possibly the easiest way to make fast money online that I can think of.
So, there you go. I hope you learned something you didn't know and you'll use this technique to make alot of money for your online business.
Tomorrow I'll be sending you a video where I'll show you some more cool, money making strategies. Some involve Affiliate Elite. If you don't have a copy, you might consider getting a copy so you can follow along.
You can currently get a full month's access to Affiliate Elite for only $4.95, so it's obviously well worth it.
I'll talk to you tomorrow!
