Welcome to Lesson 3 in our 3 part e-course...
The $100 A Day Income System
Let's jump right in... shall we?
In our first two lessons we talked about setting up our affiliate accounts and
also the methods we're going to use to refer folks to our affiliates websites to
earn commissions on referrals...
How?... By writing informative articles and product reviews!
So, right now I'd like to offer you some resources you could check out and use
for your article submissions.

This is only a small list in comparison to the many directories out there but
these are some of my favorites ;-)
And here's the GRAND DADDY of them
all. A software that will submit your articles all across the
Internet:
Article Post Robot
In my opinion, they are one of the best article submission
services available on the web. Check them out and see for yourself...
Now, let's talk briefly about the actual construction of your article.
RULE #1 - Your title is the most important part of your article!
Spend 50% of your efforts on
the "TITLE" of your article. This is extremely important. If your
title isn't full of benefits for it's readers, chances are the article won't even
get read... so spend a lot of time on it!
The above point is
EXTREMELY important! The title of your article will decide it's success or
failure -- plain and simple!
Here are two of my favorite ways to insure you create a killer title for
your article:
-
Ask a question in the
title. For example:
-- Do You Make These 4 Stupid Mistakes When Asking
Someone Out On A First Date? This May Be The Reason You're Sitting
Home Every Weekend!
This title could then evolve into an article about an
ebook you discovered on Clickbank titled "How To Get Your Perfect Mate To
Say Yes!" that you'd like to write a review for. You could
begin your article with some informative information about the subject
and then subtly slide into a review about this ebook your discovered and
how you thought it was filled with great strategies for reconciling a
broken relationship.
Or here's
another...
-- Are You Embarrassed To Smile? Try These
"Secret" Home Whitening Remedies And Never Be Ashamed To Show Those
"Pearly Whites" Again!
Now, write an article about some home remedies you've
found work well for your smile and then talk about the fantastic ebook
you also found called "101 Natural Health Remedies".
And here's
another...
-- Is Your Spouse Having An Affair? Discover
These Three "Dead Giveaways" And You'll Immediately Know For
Sure...
Write an article about the subject and also mention the
fantastic ebook you discovered in your "about the author" tag that points
to your affiliate's website.
Again, these are just random examples but I think you get the
idea. Your topics are endless and I confident that you'll be able to find a
perfect compliment to any article you want to write in the Clickbank or PayDotCom
marketplace.
Is this going to take some practice.... Absolutely! Is it
easy... Absolutely! Is it lucrative? You bet it is!
Here are a few additional pointers when it comes to writing
titles for your articles:
Be very specific:
-- Three Keys To A Successful....
-- Four "Ultra-Resourceful" Ways You Can....
-- Seven Crucial Steps To Take To...
Or...
... In Only 3 Days Or Less!
... In Just One Weekend!
... For Under $10
... Just Listening To Your CD Player While Driving Home From Work!
Be very specific in your title and clearly state the benefits of
reading the article in the title. Benefits... Benefits...
Benefits...!
Be specific! Don't say several ways you can learn how to do
something:
= say 5 ways
= or 10 ways
= or 3 ways.
Don't just say quickly and easily:
= say in less than two hours
= in only a weekend
= no tools required!
Use the word "YOU" as often as possible in your title. People want
to know "what's in it for me if I read this? By using the word
"YOU", it's a psychological trigger that tells them that there is
something in it for them.
Be unique, entertaining -- and show
off your personality!
In my opinion, this one element of writing to a targeted audience is
critical. Think back for a moment to when you were in school. I'll
bet you remember a favorite teacher or professor who you just absolutely loved
learning from.
Why?
Usually, it's because of their personality -- one that seemed to shine through in
their teaching. In it's simplest terms, learning is boring! Most
folks hate the thought of learning something new or reading. It's a painful
experience. So it's your job to ease the pain and make the learning process
fun and entertaining while still providing quality content and a great (yet
subtle) product endorsement.
Once you master this skill, you'll have a dedicated following of readers who will
look forward to each and every article you write.
So let's sum up what we've learned so far...
- We need to use Clickbank and PayDotCom for our affiliate programs.
- We need to start writing articles about interesting subjects and then use
our affiliate links in the "resource box" to entice folks to click through to
our affiliates website.
- When our reader purchases a product from one of our affiliates, we make a
hefty commission on the sale.
Sounds simple doesn't it? Well guess what... it is! Yes, it's
going to take some practice and a little researching on your part but the
benefits will sure be worth it.
And once you have 50 to 100 articles out there with your affiliate links
making you a commission on each sale, that's when you'll see at least $100 A DAY
in your account on a consistent basis.
And the best news... that' s only the beginning. There's no stopping you
from there. You could continue to use this system to increase your profits
each and everyday.
Plus, now you could start considering other avenues for your articles.
Perhaps a website wouldn't be such a bad idea anymore. You could start
building an email list and sending your product endorsements to your email list
too.
Again... there's no stopping you!
I certainly hope this crash course on how to immediately get started making a
profit online has opened your mind and your thoughts about the endless
opportunities that await you.
- do some homework
- do some research on Google about how to write a great article
- browse the Clickbank and PayDotCom marketplaces for products you'd like
to endorse
- Study how others are writing their articles and take notes about why you
like some more than others and use those techniques.
- Find little known directories that you can submit your articles to
- Contact vendors and merchants and let them know you want to sample their
product so you can write a review and send customers their way
- Never stop learning ;-)
The faster you start writing product reviews and endorsements for affiliate
products... the faster you're going to see your efforts begin to pay off!
So go to Clickbank, decide on a product you'd like to write about, whip open
your notepad and just start writing. Practice makes perfect and the more
you write... the easier it will become.
Good luck and go tackle the Internet like a firestorm!
