| Category: Affiliate Marketing - Basics | Date: 2003-04-28 |
I first noticed this book while visiting Wanda Loskots Sane Marketing Discussion Board over a month ago. She had a graphic of the book prominently displayed on her site. My curiosity finally built up enough to where I got a copy of the course.
Winning the Affiliate Games purpose it to tell you what MOST people involved in affiliate programs are doing wrong and what you should be doing. It is an interactive course that takes you step-by-step through succeeding in an affiliate program. It tells you how to set-up and operate successfully as an affiliate, step-by-step.
The first thing you should ask yourself is what is the authors credentials. He is an expert who appears regularly on radio and television interviews. He also serves as a consultant for some really big names. Declan put the course together after a conference with the leaders of Internet affiliate networks. He noticed that many of the networks were not as dedicated to making sure their affiliaes succeed as they could be!
More importantly than who Declan Dunn is, is the question of does what he have to say pass the logic test. Also do the website that are clearly succeeding in affiliate programs use the procedures and practices that he advises? He points out that most affiliates of most affiliate programs arent making ANY money. This is a well-known fact. He gives a perfect description of what their websites and marketing materials look like. You only have to visit many of these sites to see how accurate his description is. He goes on to point out what the successful affiliates are doing. He gives specific examples of successful affiliate programs. You can visit these sites and see their programs in operation. He gives dollar figures they are earning and interviews many of the operators.
Part of the table of content shows that the course covers:
1. How to Plan Your Success in 30 Minutes or Less
2. Getting Started: What is Selling on the Internet
3. Choosing the Best Affiliate Programs
4. Th Seven Keys to Affiliate Success
5. Five Positively Profitable Marketing Techniques
6. How To Set Up Your Website To Maximize Your Profits
7. Affiliate Alert! Seven Warning Signs That You Must Aviod
8. How to Double or Triple Your Profits New and Easy Ways To Win Customers For Life
9. The Most Powerful Secret Weapon Every Affiliate Must Have
10. Internetworking Your Way to Success
The course give a lot of excellent checklists that all pass the common sense test. You can see most of the things he points out in operation at the most successful sites around the internet. He gives lots of concrete examples that you can check out for yourself.
Overall I would rate the course well worth having. I found thing in this course that I had not seen in any of the other marketing courses. These were concrete things that can be put to work immediately to increase response rates for your affiliate programs.
The course costs $67 for the electronic version and $97 for the hard copy version. I got the hard copy version because I like to mark things up. Considering all of the frustration and failure most affiliates experience, it is well worth the money. As you surf around the various discussion lists and visit the various websites it is easy to see that this course has been needed for a long time.
