Sharing unbelievable information is not my style.

But I look at the headline above and realize how unbelievable our two affiliate programs are....and in this issue, I'm opening the vaults to how we get it done. What better way to advance this training system than to share what I've learned on the front lines.

In fact, in the next two months I will be adding more training materials to reflect recent trends, all in the monthly updates.

First, understand that the $5,000 figure is what they earned, not gross sales. What they share is a core, focused audience who trusts them, because they are both outstanding Internet business people.

What I have learned from my own experience, and others in this growing industry, is that the best affiliate is not necessarily the one with the most traffic. Often it is the one with the most highly targeted traffic.

The recent success of GoTo.com is a great example; they make their money selling qualified leads for nickels and dimes. In my interviews of successful affiliates online (including one in this issue), I'm finding that this use of GoTo is one of the most commonly cited success secrets of leading affiliates.

Affiliates really have to watch their money, which shows why those sites with a passionate audience generate more sales than the Internet mall, or general store approach. Sifting through many links looking for one thing is not pleasant, no matter how pretty the interface.

Our two affiliate programs have generated tremendous sales because we train our affiliates to be assets, to act now. And if you read closely, you will discover a free affiliate sales training program that we will make available to your affiliate program...(call me personally at 530-873-3637 for a personal evaluation).

Let's begin this issue with two definitions of ActiveAffiliates:

A. An affiliate who posts your ad and generates traffic;

B. An affiliate who generates sales for you.

ZDNet recently estimated that there are over 1 million affiliates on the Internet; whether or not this figure is true, the fact is there are many affiliates, and few if any are getting training.

Let's change that now; my latest training system for affiliates, Winning the Affiliate Game, is available at http://www.activemarketplace.com

Let me share how we made this an overnight success, by empowering affiliates to sell more.

Peace

Declan

PPS. Winning the Affiliate Game...From Its Readers

"I am writing to you for several reasons, but the most important is to thank you for the opportunity to learn such priceless information from each of your Affiliate Guides. In fact, this is the first time I have ever written anyone to thank them for products that I purchased from them! Your guides were so professionally written and packed with such powerful, well researched information, I believe that you just may have underpriced them by a few hundred dollars. Not that I am complaining..." Ron Gage, http://www.instantsales.com

"I am thoroughly enjoying the book. I am usually satisfied that I have made an intelligent choice in the purchase of informational material, be it books, presentations or classes (real-life or virtual) when I get at least one "ah-hah!" from that source. Well, by page 20-something, I had already collected four or five "ah-hahs!"--consequently I am already very happy."
