Part 1 of "5 Simple Steps to an Internet Cashflow series ...
----------------------------------------

There are obviously many ways to make
money online, some simple, some quite
complicated...

If you're relatively new to Internet
marketing, this 5 part course is
particularly suited for you...

It details one of the *most* simple,
yet most effective formulas for making
money online that you'll find.

Trust me, if this course can work for
my dad, a retired food scientist, and
my brother, currently a stock analyst
for a big name brokerage firm (both
of whom know next to nothing about online
marketing), it can work for you
if you simply put it to use.

...So with that, let's get started!

Affiliate programs, most of which are
free to join, can be an excellent
way to make money online...But they,
like anything else, require use of the
proper tools and resources if you're to
expect any kind of significant success.

That's the thing...Waaay to many people
hope or even expect to make money online
without ANY type of investment.

I can tell you right now, if that is
what you're expecting, you might as
well call it quits before you even
get started. (I'm only being honest!)

What you should expect is a modest
investment of your time and (ideally)
money. Though you CAN succeed without
investing a dime, it will likely
take you significantly longer than
if you're willing to set aside a small
budget specifically for online advertising.

Now, the first step in our 5 part
formula is to find one (or more) good
affiliate programs to join.

(As an affiliate, your job is simply
to send visitors to the web-site
hosting the affiliate program. For
each visitor you send who then decides
to order, you are paid a commission.)

Affiliate programs are attractive for
beginners in particular because you
don't have to worry about processing
payments, delivering products, etc.
And again, most affiliate programs
cost absolutely nothing to participate
in.

...Indeed, these are advantages for
most ANY person looking to make money
online (beginner or otherwise).

However! ...In order to make significant
amounts of money through affiliate programs,
you'll still need the proper tools and
resources - but we'll cover those later.

Right now it's time to choose your
first affiliate program!

You can find various affiliate program
directories (where you can browse
through various affiliate programs)
by doing a search for "affiliate
program directory", "associate
program directory", etc., at
Google.com.

Here's a good directory to start with:

http://www.associateprograms.com

Now, when choosing affiliate programs,
here are 10 keys to look for:

1. Ideally, choose an affiliate program
that promotes products or services
you enjoy!

2. Choose a program that offers
high commissions, preferably 30%
or higher.

3. Look for programs that offer
residual, weekly or monthly
income.

4. Look for a program that offers
a product YOU would purchase
yourself (chances are, if you're
interested in the product, many
others are as well).

5. Look for a program with a
good sales conversion rate. You
can email the program operator and
ask for statistics and proof of
sales conversion rates.

6. Choose an affiliate program that
provides a good set of promotional
tools and resources that you can use
to promote the program.

7. Look for a program that caters
to a growing market or target
audience.

8. Watch out for pyramid schemes.
Participate only in programs that
offer real, viable products.

9. Look for a program that targets
a wide audience - not a small niche
that could be saturated quickly.

10. Look for programs that PAY ;-)
Luckily, it's a small percentage, but
there ARE dishonest program operators
out there. If necessary, ask the program
operator for the contact info of a few
other affiliates.

ONE affiliate program that meets all
of the above criteria, besides points
1 and 4 which you'll have to determine
for yourself, is the program you'll
find here:

(...Click on the "Get Paid" button after
reaching the page above.)

PushButtonPublishing.com, or "PBP" as we'll
call it, provides online business owners
and affiliates with virtually *everything*
needed to start and run an online business
(of most any type) in ONE convenient location,
for ONE unbeatable price - or for free by
referring just ONE new PBP member per month!

So, if Internet marketing and making
money online is "your thing" (and
I'll assume it IS since you're reading
this course), I highly recommend signing
up for the PBP affiliate program as I'm
confident it will be one of your top
performing programs!

And don't forget, it will never cost
you a penny to join and participate as
a PBP affiliate...You are offered the SAME
commissions as monthly members!

if you want to recieve the rest of the series just send a blank email to mailto:iimarket@itbizinfo.com
...And make sure you've signed up for
at least one good affiliate program by then
(if not PBP, then another program that
you feel comfortable with)!
