Affiliate marketing, just like any other business model, requires you to know your market which includes their pain points and where they're hanging out.

• Traffic and list building is not your problem.
• Customer relationship marketing.
• Niche affiliate program selection (infrastructure)
• Relationships with partners
• Choosing the perfect products (Buy - what are you using?)
• Evergreen vs launch promotions. The benefits of both.
• Setting up the perfect promotion.
• Testing and conversion.

One of the biggest benefits of affiliate marketing is you need less infrastructure.

But, there are still a few must-haves. We'll go over this in more depth but the two major must-haves are an autoresponder system or CRM and a website. Not complicated systems though. The basics will work.

If you don't know the key metrics of your promotions or the language the product vendors are speaking it's hard to make educated decisions.

In this session, we're going to talk about the acronyms and lingo you must be familiar with to measure your success.

Affiliate marketing is all about relationships. Relationships with your customers and prospects and with product vendors.

We'll spend quite a bit of time talking about best practices for creating high-quality relationships with partners and how to set yourself up for success right from the start.

Affiliate marketing works well when you make personal, vetted recommendations for products your users and community are looking for in their every day lives.

This is a fact.

No matter what niche you're in. We're going to show you how to get started and how to continue offering your community the best solutions.

It's essential that you use the products you refer.

We'll show you have to create Evergreen promotions and why they are our favorite type. There are several attributes to focus on when choosing those promotions and ways to protect yourself when creating Evergreen promotions even if the company or affiliate program disappears.

With launch promotions, you can get your customers great deals on great products or push a lot of worthless products if you're not careful. We'll show you how to do both successfully.

There are the hit-and-run affiliate marketers and those that focus on great products and building good relationships.

We prefer the latter. And if you do it that way, you often get benefits that others never see.

Traffic is everybody's problem. Focusing less traffic and more sales gets you noticed.

We'll show you why you want to test all the time to ensure you're getting the biggest bang for you buck and doing a huge favor for your vendor.
