Sometimes people from different countries will email me and ask ifrepparttar 116650 directory would be good for them. I tell them absolutely not.

Continued from page 1

Every time you apply for an affiliate program, fill inrepparttar information on this spreadsheet. This is imperative because you will join hundreds of programs, and you will never be able to keep track of allrepparttar 116633 usernames, passwords and URL's on your own.

I now have over 200 vendors with whom I have accounts. If you think you need only 3 or 4 accounts and you will make money… keep thinking.

Ok, now that you haverepparttar 116634 APO Spreadsheet on your computer, here are some places where you can find affiliate programs. Now don't think you have to apply to all of them right now. I STILL apply for affiliate programs on a daily basis and add them to my website. If I see a product I like and think my website visitors would like it, before I put it onto my site, I first check to see if they have an affiliate program, join it and then putrepparttar 116635 product on my site, using my affiliate link.

Note: There are basically 3 different ways to find affiliate programs to join.

1. Through websites that offer you links to affiliate programs of other companies. You would sign up for each affiliate program separately throughrepparttar 116636 companies website. (Affiliate Portals)

2. Through websites that offer thousands of affiliate programs by joining their site. Therefore you would have one log-in for as many different affiliate programs that you join off their website. (Affiliate Network)

3. Throughrepparttar 116637 company's website that is actually offeringrepparttar 116638 affiliate program (Affiliate Programs)

The affiliate programs you will need to seek on your own, because there are literally thousands and thousands of companies that offer affiliate programs for their own products. The links I am providing are torepparttar 116639 portals and networks where you can browse categories to findrepparttar 116640 affiliate programs you'd like to join.

Again, tryrepparttar 116641 online hyperlinked version for links torepparttar 116642 above.

Write a free ebook withinrepparttar 116643 subject of your theme Add your affiliate links

Is your theme about entertainment onrepparttar 116644 internet? Write an ebook aboutrepparttar 116645 "Top 100 Joke Sites" or "The Best Match Making Sites". Add all entertainment affiliate links in your ebook along with your website address and contact information.

Push it enough and you can have thousands and thousands of your ebook all overrepparttar 116647 internet all filled with your affiliate links. Are you beginning to see how this can be profitable?

Submitrepparttar 116648 ebook to free ebook sites.

When I suggested to someone to write an ebook in his spare time, he said he would typerepparttar 116649 title and startrepparttar 116650 table of contents and then get stuck. Problem: How to you type a table of contents when you haven't even writtenrepparttar 116651 book yet? How do you know what is in it and which chapter each piece of information would be in. Never try and come up with a title or table of contents before you write a book. Just start writing. I know, you're saying "Write what?". I wish I hadrepparttar 116652 correct answer for everybody, but I don't. All I can tell you is when I decided to write this ebook, I just opened up Microsoft Word and started typing. Later, I printed what I had, added things, deleted things and proofread. I decide where to add which affiliate link, where to add links to related websites, etc. Then I do it all over again. Eventually, I will have a whole book. Then I compile it into an ebook.

You may want to look at Extreme eBook Creations. Their package gives you ebooks on subjects about writing and promoting ebooks as well asrepparttar 116653 actual eBook creator software for free.

Write an ebook to be sold, withinrepparttar 116654 subject of your theme. Add your affiliate links

The same as before, however with this ebook, try to add something of extreme value that would push a person to purchaserepparttar 116655 ebook, such as a whole package of eBooks with resell rights, or a free vacation certificate. Letrepparttar 116656 potential buyers know they can resell all ofrepparttar 116657 ebooks one-by-one or as a whole package. Or they can userepparttar 116658 package as an incentive to sell another of their products.

Another way to add value would be to include other free eBooks withrepparttar 116659 purchase of yours, or something else free off your website.

Listrepparttar 116660 ebook on eBay. Experiment with different pricing and listing options.

When I offered my 1st ebook for sale on eBay, I started at $4.00 and with a regular .30 listing. I sold about 30 of these. Profit = $120.00 - .30 listing fee

The next time I listed it, I uppedrepparttar 116661 price to $7.00 and paid extra to have my listing in bold print. I sold about 20. Profit = $140.00 - 2.30 listing fee

Then I got really bold and uppedrepparttar 116662 price to $9.00 and putrepparttar 116663 auction on a Featured Plus auction ($19.95 listing fee). I sold around 30 of those. Profit = $270.00 - 20.25 listing fee

Even bolder, I went to a $14.99 price and putrepparttar 116664 listing in a Featured Home Page ($99.95 listing fee). I only sold 9 of those, so I barely broke even. Profit = $134.91 - 99.95 listing fee

I decided to stay withrepparttar 116665 $9 price and Featured Plus. It not only generatedrepparttar 116666 most profit, but more people sawrepparttar 116667 auction and even if they didn't buyrepparttar 116668 ebook, they sometimes went to my "About Me" page which contains information about my website or they would buy one of my other auctions.

Withrepparttar 116669 right auction title on my listing, I can get up to 500+ people look at my auction. A great deal of them visit and join my website and likely purchase my product off my website other than through eBay, saving merepparttar 116670 final value fee eBay charges. I say likely, because there is no way for me to track ifrepparttar 116671 person first saw my auction and then came to my website and purchased.
