Instructions
and Tips on Promoting
the Sub-Associates Program
This
page is designed to give you exact instructions and
tips on how to promote the sub-associates
program. It is a fantastic source of revenue
for you.
The beauty of this new sub-associates program is that
you are getting paid to help people make money
online with their website. It is free to join, so
there is no risk or investment on your part or the
new associate that you get to join.
All you have to do is to simply explain how the associates
program works, and then send them to the URL that
we assign you. We take over from there. Your job is
done.
And
you get paid for all the sales they make for
as long as they keep selling our courses (that can
be for years - all for just a few minutes of work
on your part).
Once someone submits their application to become an
associate member, our software automatically enters
your associate number into our database as the associate
that referred them to join.
Every time the new associate sells a Course, our custom
made monthly check-writing software automatically
adds $20 to your monthly referral check for
every sale they make. We call these
$20 fees "sub-referral fees".
Now let's do the math. Let's say that you recommend
this to your newsletter subscriber base or your customer
database and 100 people join. Out of those 100 people
lets say that 90 of them do not sell much, but 10
sites sell 16 Personal Seminars each that month.
Well,
you just helped each site make $720 and you get a
$1600 check that month for your $10 referral fee from
every Seminar they sold.
Let's say that you only signed up half that amount
- that is still $800 a month in sub-referral fees
for months and months to come, for years and years
to come - as long as the associates that you referred
to us keep selling courses.
It is important to explain the associates program
before you send them to the URL that we assigned you,
as this will increase the number of people that join
up dramatically. Remember, many people have never
heard of an associates program before and may have
no idea what you are talking about until you explain
the benefits and how it all works in very simple terms.
Simply mention that, "you have found a company that
will pay very generous referral fees for placing their
banner or a text message at your site." Then give
them the site URL and mention that if they have any
questions to contact you (just in case they don't
understand what you are talking about).
If you just tell them to go to the site to check it
out... they have no reason or benefit to make the
effort. You have to show them that the program is
"free" to join and will earn them substantial revenue
without a lot of work on their part. They get paid
for posting a link to us.
It is as simple as that!
Where
do I Promote this Sub-Associates Program To?
The key here is that only website owners will be interested
in joining the associates program, so you are t
argeting
this market.
There are many different ways to promote it. It depends
on what resources you have at your disposal. For example,
if you have a newsletter or "opt-in" mailing list
you developed yourself, you are in luck -- it really
is perfect for this.
However,
if you didn't have a newsletter or list, but you participate
in some related forums or email discussion lists,
you could mention it there. See some ideas below and
examples of those ideas a little later on this page.
Here are a few ideas:
- Newsletter
- If you have an online newsletter you distribute
right now that goes out to self-help oriented website
owners or people interested in self-help, it is
a perfect way to get a lot of people to join the
Associates Program almost effortlessly on your part.
Whether your subscription base is 200 or 20,000,
it's a great opportunity for you to promote the
associates program to a large audience with almost
no work. You could even have a special edition of
your newsletter that just talks about this opportunity.If
you don't have a newsletter, but have a friend that
has a newsletter, ask them if you can plug the associates
program in the next edition of the newsletter.
- Customer
and Lead Lists - You can email your customer
base (if the majority are website owners as these
are the people that will join the associates program),
or email a customer "lead" list that you may have
gotten from people that responded to your ads in
the past.
- Forums,
Newsgroups, Email Discussion Lists - You can
present the The 11th Element Associates
program to appropriate business forums, newsgrou
ps, and email discussion lists (please notice the
word "appropriate" - as if you post inappropriately
you are "spamming", and as I will mention below,
we do not tolerate spamming).
Make sure that when you are presenting this offer
in a forum, newsgroup, or email discussion list,
you keep it simple and sweet. Do not over-hype the
associates program - present it for what it is.
If you don't, no one will take you seriously. Also,
don't have too long of a post - if you do, no one
will read it and you will be wasting your time.
It would be sufficient enough to just tell them
that you joined The 11th Element referral
program which gives very generous referral fees.
Then you can go on to say that you have been earning
healthy referral checks every month and anyone can
become a part of it free of charge, if they go to
the site (and give them the URL for the associates
program).
- Autoresponders
- If you currently have an autoresponder that
gets sent to your clients for whatever reason, you
could add a little blurb about how you have earned
some healthy 11th Element referral
fees. You could then state that you have an article
that shows exactly how you did it so they can duplicate
your success - and then you instruct them to email
an autoresponder which gives them all the details
on the associates program.
The possibilities here are endless. You could even
advertise the associates program in online classified
ads and have the respondents either go directly
to the site or email your autoresp onder for more
details (as a preliminary to the website information).
Use your imagination.
- Surfing
the Web for Perfect Candidates - We have a few
associates who spend time surfing the web and manually
finding big websites that are focused on self-help.
They then present the associates program to the
owners of those sites. Usually they send them an
email and then follow up with a phone call (as usually
the email goes unanswered if it is a high-traffic
website - it is much more powerful to contact them
by phone - this also shows your seriousness).
Even if the phone number is not listed on the site,
it is easy to go to http://www.internic.net and
look up the phone number of the owner to contact
directly. This technique can be very powerful. If
you just get a couple of big sites to join the program,
they can sell a lot of courses through the associates
program and you can make an incredible about of
money from your $20 sub-referral fee per course
sold (it can add up to thousands of dollars every
month for years and years to come - as long as the
website keeps selling courses). All for a few days
work getting through to the right people who make
the decisions.
I know of one person who has made this his part-time
job. He contacts high-traffic sites, and shows them
the benefits of joining. He simply explains that
it is no risk to them as it is free to join and
they can cancel at anytime - they can even use up
dead advertising space on their site through the
use of The 11th Element banners.
- The
Most Important One - Follow Up - What I mean
by "follow up" is to always go after the same audience
at least twice. Many times people will miss your
message the first time around (they could be too
busy, or just not the right time, etc.). It has
been our experience that our response doubles with
the second notice. In other words, if you got 100
people to join the first time 100 more will when
you do a follow up.
- Newsletter
Follow up - If you sent out a special
newsletter edition with all the details, mention
it predominantly, but not in the next issue. Do
it in the issue after that. Then mention it as a
little caption or sponsor in every regular issue
preceding... it will drastically increase your response.
It could be as simple as saying, "To learn how I
made $1075 in a few days with a free associates
program, go to this url .....:
Email
discussion lists follow up - Be careful how
you follow up here as it may seem like advertising
and you can get in a little hot water. You want to
wait for 2-3 weeks and then have a little post to
remind people about it - but nothing too "pushy" as
you don't want it to come across as advertising. The
perfect opportunity would be to tie a plug about the
associates program in as an answer to someone else's
ques
tion in the list.
Forums
and Newsgroups - You can get away with re-posting
(or presenting it in a different form) in appropriate
newsgroups once in a while, but be careful in forums.
As mentioned above, you don't want to come across
as advertising so it is best to have the "follow up"
mention the associates program by somehow tying it
into answering a forum posting.
Customer
or Lead Lists - Find a way to incorporate
a small note about it in a future email to your customer
base or lead list, reminding them of the opportunity
and where to go to get more information on it.
Remember - be creative! I just gave you these ideas
to get your "juices" flowing.
Other
Ideas
You can even take out some of the information from
the main associates page to use in a phone conversation
or email to promote the associates program.
Very
Important Note: We will not tolerate spamming
of any sort. If you Spam (using unsolicited bulk email
or inappropriately post to newsgroups), trying to
get people to sign up on the associates program, you
will be terminated from the associate program and
our sub-associate program.
We are not with an ISP that will tolerate spamming,
so please abide by our rules out of courtesy. However,
as mentioned above, it is still OK to offer it as
an autoresponder to your client base, your lead lists,
people that contact you, a newsletter list, etc.
The
"rule" is: As long as you have some sort of relationship
with the person you are presenting the associates
program to, or you are offering it in an appropriate
newsgroup, forum, or email discussion list, then you
are free to do so.
*****
Very Important *****
As
an additional note: We will not tolerate current
associates signing themselves up as sub-associates
under their own assigned referral number in order
to generate the additional commissions for their own
sales.
We
have extensive tracking software in place to deter
this (which is programmed to look for any similarities
whatsoever in any of our associate records and flag
us). If we find that this ever the case, the account(s)
in question will be immediately
terminated and any
referral fees unpaid since our last referral payout
will remain sole property of Invisible Path Publishing.
To
put it bluntly, it's not worth trying!
That is all the tips and instructions for now. If
you have any questions, feel free to email us at support@buildbiztips.com,
as we will be happy to help you.
I look forward to a mutually profitable relationship.
