[D582]Don T Tell Momma

by Anderson Josiah, And

One of the most commonly made mistakes about an affiliate marketing partnership program is that because it is so very easy to make money that a lot of people think that no effort is needed. A lot of the sales pitches you read and hear about affiliate marketing add to this misconception. They claim that it is so easy to make profits that anybody can do it, when reality steps in many affiliate site owners give up before they make there first commission.

This happens because a lot of people misunderstand - “simple” is not the same a “easy”

An Affiliate marketing partnership program works on some simple rules and assumptions. The mechanics of how it works is that it creates an opportunity to make a real income that is not difficult or complex. This thing called affiliate marketing is so very simple that any one can easily understand the idea behind it; it's not that hard if you know what to do.

Because of the simplicity of this system most people dream of making big buck with affiliate marketing without being prepared to do any work. The equation they seem to miss is that being simple does not mean easy. Like with anything else in order to be successful it takes time and effort.

A lot of people prefer not to listen to this but to be successful in affiliate marketing you need more than just a good understanding of the ideas and concepts of the system. You can't just sit at a computer and produce commission checks one after the other. It's not as easy as that. The system is simple but requires understanding of certain techniques and the will to execute them.

This is explained in detail at PIPS (Plug in Profits Site). This site is basically a how to do manual on affiliate marketing, that shows about the simplicity and efficiency of affiliate marketing combined with solid techniques that a person can use to make an income online. The plug in profits site consists of six affiliates -Leisure Audio Books, SFI Marketing, Success University, Empowerism, Host4Profit and Adminder.

A free website

Simple does not mean easy, but it surly does not mean that affiliate marketing is difficult. What it means is you need to jump into action with a good plan and even better tactics in order to get this business model into a super profit earner.

Follow the recommendations of the Plug in profits site and you can make a lot of money with affiliate marketing. You can build a bridge between the simplicity of affiliate marketing and the actual process and techniques needed to master in order to earn a big pay day.

Chances are that your particular listings will join the numbers of expired or be on the market for more days than you can count. But unlike the average agent with a new listing and pie in the sky hopes, you can turn lemons into lemonade.

The average real estate agent puts up a for sale sign on the real estate they have just listed. And after a few words of encouragement to their seller, they drive off praying for the sale. They post their new listings on the board in their Broker’s office, hoping that some other agent will bring that qualified buyer to the table. Sound familiar?

The reason? Most real estate agents use a combination of selling techniques they see other agents in their office doing. If you want to hit that three figure income, why would you imitate an agent making $25,000?

Now, let’s turn those lemon listings into lemonade!

First, identify the “active market", those qualified buyer leads who will actually close escrow. You want to spend your time talking to people that are ready to make a buying decision right now. One of the many advantages of a call-capture system, like the one I use, is that it helps to segregate the prospect into an “active" buyer or just another looky-loo.

This simple act of placing one of my call-capture, 800 number sign riders on my listings generates calls 24/7. This is the perfect employee! It never takes a lunch break or puts my most valuable client on hold. My sign rider not only generates buyer leads for me, it captures their phone number perfectly every time, without fail.

Those “active" buyers are calling me

I am not out knocking on doors or making endless cold calls like so many seminars taught us to do. There is a definite time for such marketing tactics, but this is not that time. I have my “perfect employee" working for me right now and I have had to hire extra administrative help to handle the overflow. After a brief interview, usually over the phone, I invite my new clients to my office to meet with my loan officer, Chris. Chris will pre-qualify them and get us on the right path to meet their needs.

I cannot say enough about pre-qualification. If you are not getting your buyers pre-qualified you are wasting both your time and theirs. The last thing you want is a surprise after the offer is made.

Be the information source.

I cannot imagine not having call-capture 800 number signs working for me.

Why do lead generation systems work so well in this market? Freely given information is one key to a good agent/client relationship. Your prospects get the information they desire and you have lowered their resistance.

The threat dealing with a “salesperson" has diminished. These buyer leads are willing to work with you because you were willing to work with them first.

My particular 800 number service has a feature that alerts me to the prospect’s incoming call, if I choose to. I am therefore “immediately" available to them, and they are not lost to the next real estate agent.

Make 2007 the year you finally market effectively, with less effort, and reach your financial goals. In the years beyond you will reap the benefits of the referral business it will bring. How sweet that lemonade tastes!
