How To Recommend Your Way To Profits

Written by Jason Tarasi


My uncle sat atrepparttar kitchen table with a perplexed look on his face, in a state of total shock.

He tried to open his mouth to ask a question, but despite his best effort, all that came out was an incoherent response.

I had just explained to my unclerepparttar 138823 concept of "recommendation marketing", which basically left him speechless.

The aftermath wasn't a pretty sight.

It was comical seeing this usually well spoken man, who seemed to have an opinion on everything (especially other people's business), stricken speechless.

I am not afraid to admit I reveled inrepparttar 138824 moment.

He couldn't believe how much I made each month, by simply recommending high quality products and services to my customers.

What really blew him away, was when I revealed that it only took me an hour to set everything up, and I continue to make this residual income each and every month.

If I choose to go and play ice hockey, work out, or do something else I enjoy, I will still be earningrepparttar 138825 same amount.

This isrepparttar 138826 power of recommendation marketing.

The principle behind this technique is quite simple, but you must earn people's trust for it to be effective (This means being honest and not trying to make a quick buck).

I compiled a list of my favorite products and services, and then created a page with a condensed review of these products. (Luckily for me most of them have an affiliate program, which is how I earnrepparttar 138827 residual income)
