Where I’ve been

Filed under: news — admin @ 3:12 pm




I’m a speaker at Affiliate Convention, which is in Denver from June 17-20th. The topic that I’m speaking on is “Representing the Interests of Affiliates”, where I’ll cover the key issues that affiliates deal with and how to deal with them. As an affiliate, you’re probably a one man (or one woman) show, so how can you be a PPC expert, engineering guru, financial wizard, marketing genius, and professional network at the same time?.





If you’re a new affiliate, you have to decide what offers to promote, what affiliate networks to go with, whose blog to read, and so forth. There’s all sorts of software, ebooks, and other materials that self-proclaimed experts will peddle you.

Affiliates frequently ask me how I became a super affiliate at 15 years old, given that I’m not a programmer and have plenty of free time for hobbies and travel. At Affiliate Convention, I’m going to show you what it takes, and it’s probably not what you think. I’ve been where you are and I can show you the way out. Hint: it has more to do with your relationships and ability to execute than it does your programming expertise (you can hire that) or how many great ideas you have (if you implement none of them, so what).

I’ll give you just one tip of the dozen that I’ve prepared, as a teaser to my full presentation in 2 months– having real world clients through your own Internet marketing company gives you access to more data and insights that you’d ever get through your own campaigns, plus, you can use their budget to develop tools you can use on your own stuff. When you are the agency of record, you become the exclusive advertiser, no other affiliates get to compete with you! You don’t have to worry about others stealing your ads or bidding against you. You have full control over the landing pages and even negotiate the payout. And, you have greater consistency of earnings, since you own that relationship, instead of trying to beg for a nickel payout bump among the thousands of others doing so, too.

So come join me and 1,000 other affiliates in Denver in a couple months and we can all learn from each other. If you have any particular questions you’d like to have answered, just post them right here and I will do my best to respond to every one of them.

  6. Harrison,

    Congratulations on all of your success. As a newbie, what is the minimum amount of capital needed to start an affiliate business?

    Regards,
    Anthony

  10. Can you elaborate a little bit more on what you mean by “Hint: it has more to do with your relationships and ability to execute than it does your programming expertise”. Great post.
