Is This The Ultimate Affiliate Package?

If you are serious about Affiliate Marketing you will most probably have your own Website Autoresponder Ad Tracker products with resell rights and you maybe buy leads. If so your monthly outlay can amount to quite a bit. If you promote products programs you will most probably have referral pages which capture email addresses.

You are building an email list for someone else!

I took a long hard look at this package before I decided to buy. The decision was not all that difficult its just that I have seen so many promises of riches that I am now turned off to most of the offers I receive.

Let me cut to the chase this package comes with a Website complete with lead capture where the leads go to you! Yes you read that right the leads are yours. On top of that you get an Autoresponder with Adtracker you are also given 50 leads per month and you have over 10000 of digital products with resell rights. The only downside is you cannot alter the Website but you can promote any or all of your other products programs through the Autoresponder.

A unique Pay Plan is also included which enables you to build residual income. With all the features benefits here I was able to cut my monthly outlay to a fraction of the cost while providing the same service. Verdict Unbeatable Value!

Is There Too Much Noise In Your Message?

I am all for advertising. It’s a way of life and it is needed. I know that without advertising my local broadcast channels would not be free. I know the power of advertising. I have used advertising in various methods and I place other people’s ads on my blogs websites and in my newsletters.

However there comes a time when it’s too much.

I subscribe to two paid print newsletters every month. They are both put out by wellknown marketers both men I believe are at the “genius” level when it comes to marketing. I admire them and I aspire to be like them so I jumped at the chance to subscribe.

In order to avoid publicly badmouthing anyone I’ll call them Marketer A and Marketer B.

Marketer A’s came first a 16 page newsletter in a booklet format that was nicely formatted. I gobbled up the information in the newsletter as well as in the CD that accompanied it.

Marketer B’s came later the envelope was huge and I assumed that it was packed with information. While it did include some great content the majority of it was information promoting his other products. It took me some time to weed through everything to find the newsletter and when I finally did I couldn’t differentiate between the information and the advertisements! I put it away thinking I would come back later to read it. It’s still sitting there.

This month Marketer A sent his newsletter and again I dove right into the information and walked away from it thinking he’s a genius. Marketer B’s newsletter arrived the next day again filled with advertisements.

I’m confused and a confused mind says no. I’m sure there must be some wonderful information within those 16 pages but I can’t get past all the ads. When the CD came it was only a recording of a free teleclass promoting someone else’s 1200 course!

When I sign up for a free teleclass I expect sales and hype. There’s a reason that it’s free. I can get past it. But when I pay for it I’m not expecting to pay for another ad.

Not only that but because I’m a “valued subscriber” I receive at least one fax a week asking me to join something else that costs 197 a month. Even as I wrote this article I received an email mirroring what the fax said.

This is just my personal opinion. However I wonder how many others get distracted by all the “noise” in various newsletters. This man is greatly respected in the marketing community and it bothers me that I’m not able to digest the information.

If the newsletter was free or low cost I don’t think I would mind as much. However I pay 40 each month for this information and right now it is a wasted 40. I have not been able to find anything in this newsletter to apply to my business.

So here are a few guidelines for including ads in your publications:

1. Have a good balance of ads and information. If your ads outweigh the information people probably are not reading what you have to say. If you offer a paid subscription your ads should be no more than 20 of your information. They are paying for your knowledge not your ads.

2. Place your ads where they are seen but don’t let them distract from your information. Don’t hide the content that your readers are interested in.

3. Make sure your ads compliment the information that you are conveying. If you’re discussing how to build a website then an ad about a domain name sale or web hosting would be acceptable; a Viagra ad on the other hand would not.

The fact is ads are part of our society. For many of us it’s how we keep our publications or services free. However when the information gets lost in the ads the message we are trying to convey gets lost t. Our credibility has the potential to be diminished and we may lose readers in the end. So what is the rule of thumb for using ads in a publication? Keep the noise low so you can hear your subscribers sing your praises!
