If you want to be in the race for affiliate prizes, you better get started. Everything from cash bonuses to an Apple iPad are being offered to the affiliate marketers who refer sales of the Baby Boomer or Senior guide. Here are the contest details:




The UK-based author of the guide, Anna Bell, did a great job researching and writing the content. I think it's an affiliate product with true value.

Finally, a Quality Affiliate Product

A lot of Internet marketers have jumped into affiliate marketing, only to come away disillusioned. I personally think that's because many of the affiliate products out there are of dubious value. I just had the chance to produce several videos for an affiliate product that changes all that. A 750-page guide for seniors and baby boomers that covers everything from where to retire, to health and finances. It was extremely well-written, and professionally produced. I think it's going to be a real success story for affiliate marketers.

Optimize Your Conversions

That's Internet marketing talk for increasing the percentage of people who visit your website, and then actually buy something. If you'd like a quick lesson on affiliate marketing, squeeze page development, and "hero shots," you might visit FabianTan.com. Fabian is an Internet marketing guru who provides a lot of good tips and techniques on his website.

We created a video for Fabian based on his article on three simple steps for building a profitable home business:

Affiliate Marketing Resource

If you're considering entering the world of affiliate marketing, I know of an excellent free resource: the Affiliate Marketing Answer Book. It was written by James Martell, the affiliate marketing guru, and is available from www.jamesmartell.com/newsletter.

Affiliate Marketing Videos

I've been working with Ross of STG Limited to create a series of marketing videos that will drive web traffic to some of his affiliated sites. Although I don't totally understand the details of affiliate marketing, I think you get paid for selling product from someone else's inventory. Kind of like the "per inquiry" spots that run on late night TV. At any rate, Ross, who lives on the island of Aruba, is selecting affiliate opportunities that he thinks will generate enough cash so he can spend more time on the beach (or at least less hours at his day job). We've designed videos that are very inexpensive to produce, but hopefully will divert enough eyeballs to the affiliate websites. Here's an example (gotta love the '80s disco synth bass):
