Product Review: Affiliate Mistakes Special Report – Affiliate Programs

Product Review: Affiliate Mistakes Special Report
David Cooper

In his ebook "Affiliate Mistakes Special Report," Chuck McCullough teaches you how to spot and avoid or correct ten simple, yet costly errors that can seriously damage your efforts to promote affiliate programs successfully. Instead of writing about the broad based generalities of affiliate marketing, Chuck takes you by the hand and teaches you why most affiliates never make a dime in commission. Then using a detailed and systematic approach, he provides you with an effective, easy to implement solution to correct these mistakes.

The ebook prints out to about 151 pages and although some of the information may seem pretty basic to some advanced affiliate marketers, it does cover in detail how to avoid the mistakes that 95% of all affiliate marketers are making. Most of this ebook delivers rock solid information that both beginning and intermediate affiliate marketers can put to use.

Chuck McCullough is the owner of AffiliateMatch.com one of the most visited affiliate program directories on the internet today. Chuck also owns FindSticky.com and publishes the Affiliate Informer Newsletter. Chucks experience in affiliate marketing along with his unique perspective and boundless enthusiasm, make him very qualified to write a report on affiliate program marketing.

In "Affiliate Mistakes Special Report," Chuck doesnt just tell you what the most common affiliate mistakes are, he provides you with a very clear and concise solution to each of the mistakes. Chuck has divided up each of the mistakes into a chapter of its own.

Chapter 1 on why you should actually own the products you promote, and Chapter 2 about trying to promote too many programs at once were two dynamite chapters. They were 100% right on the mark. McCullough must not believe in appetizers, because he gives you the meat and potatoes right off the bat in this report!

Chapter 5 which provides a glimpse into Chucks "unconventional wisdom" which proved to me that Chuck was holding nothing back in this report. There is also an additonal chapter on Advanced Topics and two other bonus chapters. One of the bonus chapters provides you with a nifty "secret". I will be adding this "secret" to my site.

Though Chucks expertise in affiliate marketing is clearly evident throughout the book, I thought a section in chapter 7 about calculating the worth of a visitor when you are purchasing traffic from pay-per-click search engines was a bit confusing. However, after my 13 year old son explained it to me, it became crystal clear. So, maybe this initial confusion on my part should be attributed more to my mathematical dysfunction and less to Chucks formula.

In his sales copy, McCullough asserts that anyone can learn the exact methods necessary to have a profitable online business. Now, I am the worlds leading skeptic when a person says "anyone". However, after reading this report, I can see how he can actually back up this claim.

Chuck takes the high road in his report and tells you right up front that making money on the internet is hard work. He deserves high marks for his honesty. Making Money on the internet is certainly not as easy as some of the "gurus" would have you believe. What makes this report different in my opinion is that McCulloughs approach is not only about affiliate marketing its also about business building.

If you are interested in promoting affiliate programs and building your online business the correct way, then I give "Affiliate Mistakes Special Report" my highest recommendation and a 9 on a scale of 1 to 10.

Hopefully Chuck will produce another ebook that will teach us another important aspect of internet marketing in the same well-written manner.

How to Create and Sell *Your Own* Product or Service – Affiliate Programs

How to Create and Sell *Your Own* Product or Service
Glen Hopkins

Its one thing to join affiliate programs and earn commissions but in order to make serious amounts of money, you need to have your own product or service to sell.

The best thing to sell on the internet is a digitally delivered product or service. Examples include ebooks or electronic books, courses, membership sites and software. The reasons digitally delivered products and services are so great are numerous.

People surfing the internet want instant gratification. Digitally delivered products and services can be accessed or downloaded immediately upon online credit card payment. This is not possible with items that require shipping.

Digitally delivered products and services cost little to produce and have the potential to yield never-ending revenue. Once you have your site completed and your product or services ready, there are no additional costs. The product or service is created once, and then sold and resold. Such products and services have no overhead, dont require and need for storage space and have no shipping charges.

You create it once and sell it forever!

How to come up with your own product or service is actually quite easy. The key is to sell your knowledge. You have knowledge on some subject or another that many other people dont. Its your job to figure out what it is that you know, that others could benefit from. Perhaps youre a great cook. Put together an e-cookbook. Are you an artist Sell an online course on how to paint and draw. Maybe youre a stay at home mom who has learned just about everything there is to know about infant care - sell it! Try asking yourself the following questions and do some brainstorming.

What do people seek my advice about

What hobbies do I have

Are you successful in your career How did you become successful

What are you passionate about

Write all your thoughts down without judging them. Once you have a list of about 10 ideas start to work them through. Youll be amazed at just how much you know about certain subjects.

Push Button Publishing is an all-in-one solution to the problems, questions, and frustrations that can come with starting or upgrading an online business.
Although Push Button Publishing doesnt include a resource for processing payment transactions, the knowledge, information, tools, and resources that Push Button Publishing.com provides are second to none and can help propel you to a higher level of success with your online business.
Bryan Winters, who once referred to himself as being the "webs leading skeptic" has become one of the great Internet success stories. Only Bryans personal touch and first rate customer service can match the value of Push Button Publishing.com. Bryan is very easy to relate to, perhaps because he has never forgotten his roots in Internet marketing.
Through Bryans diligence and determination, www.PushButtonPublishing.com has set the standard for private Internet membership sites. Bryan also owns and operates the very successful www.PushButtonPublishing.com and the instantly popular www.milliondollartraffic.com
Push Button Publishing.com provides you with a comprehensive and detailed business plan and tutorial. This 41-page document is priceless. I benefited tremendously from the fact that in the plan Bryan shows you step-by-step exactly how to run a successful online business. Everything from starting your own ezine, to building your mailing list, to choosing a good affiliate program is included. Bryan has left nothing out! Soon after reading this you will be able to see how Push Button Publishings proven business building formula can be used for any niche in which you may have an interest.
As good as the Push Button Publishing business plan and tutorial were, I soon discovered this was only the tip of the iceberg. Push Button Publishing has much more to offer. The meat and potatoes of Push Button Publishing.com is truly in the member tools and resources outlined below:
1. The Resale Rights Cooperative - acquire resale rights to brand new digital information and software products without having to spend any of your own money.
2. Instant Turnkey Business Package - Complete turnkey businesses along with the website, sales letter, and graphics. Not your typical run of the mill stuff here.
3. Ebook of the Month Club - Every month Push Button Publishing releases a new high quality ebook or software product with members-only branding features and full marketing rights. You can use these as freebies or sell them. These are great viral marketing tools.
4. The Internet Marketing Database - A copyright-free database of Internet Marketing related information that you can use to create your own high quality digital information products! I still dont know how Bryan pulled this off.
5. The Wholesale Product Locator - Locate and acquire 1000s of top of the line hard goods for your internet retail store or internet auction. Think ebay! Some really unique items here.
6. Premium Web Hosting - Push Button Publishing and Teknon Media have formed a partnership to bring top of the line Web hosting to Push Button Publishing.com members. Non-reseller hosting, 500 MB Disk Space/Storage, 10 gig Monthly data transfer, Unlimited Autoresponders.

8. Instant Ad Tracking - If you are serious about being an online business owner, then you will know the importance of tracking your advertising campaigns. These are extremely easy to use.
9. The Internet Marketing Cooperative - A great educational resource. The items here are not for resale. They are to be used to advance your knowledge in running your business. Think Masters Degree in Internet Marketing!
10. The Push Button Publishing Forum - A very active and enthusiastic forum. I have visited on many occasions. Lots of members eager to share their thoughts and ideas. Great place to ask questions and get real life answers to your problems. Bryan moderates this himself and generally tries to steer the topics toward advertising and Webpage development.
As if this werent enough, Bryan Winters throws in some very nice bonuses such as his Push Button Income program, Ultra Web Page Creator, and several specialized scripts and marketing software. The most important bonus however, is the fact that you can get personal consultations with Bryan through the Push Button Publishing.com members forum.
In his sales copy, Winters states that "Push Button Publishing is a no-holds-barred resource offering everything you need to start, build and run a real online business of your own, regardless of experience level." As usual, I initially felt a great measure of skepticism. However, after being a member for over 6 months, I see how he can back up his claims. Bryan has truly over delivered in all that he has included with a Push Button Publishing membership.
Push Button Publishing truly is an all-in-one solution to so many of the problems, questions, and frustrations that can plague individuals that are starting an online business.
The value of a Push Button Publishing.com membership far exceeds its $27.00 per month membership cost. If you purchased all of these items separately they would cost you well over $100 per month. If you want all of the tools, resources, and information to build your business the right way, at your fingertips on a daily basis, then I give Push Button Publishing my highest recommendation and a 9.5 on a scale of 1 to 10.
