Custom Direct Wins the Gold Award at the 24th Annual Maryland Performance Excellence Awards

If you are like me, an affiliate marketer, you may not know much about the companies that you are doing affiliate marekting for. I have been an affiliate mareketer for 4checks.com for the past several years and never realized that they actually market for a company called Custom Direct.

Half of the checks that are on www.coolchecks.net are printed by Custom Direct. This company has an outstanding reputation and owns at least 10 different check printing companies.

The CEO of the company, Dale A. Dabbs, has been in the check printing business a long time and he say:

Since 1993, we’ve committed ourselves to making positive strides to continually enhance our people, products and processes to provide satisfaction and value. We put our customers first, and we seek to exceed their expectations. Thatrsquo;s the Custom Direct Difference.

Custom Direct is committed to providing our customers with high-quality, dynamic products, outstanding service, and great support from our talented team. Irsquo;m extremely proud of the people who work for CD and their dedication to helping our Company remain a leader in the industry.quot; – Dale A. Dabbs, CEO

I was happy to hear that they have a good track record and have satisfied customers all over the country.

I think that success as an affiliate marketer comes as a result of associating yourselves with a high quality, reputable company. Custom Direct fits the bill for 4checks.com and therefore…for me at www.coolchecks.net.

Affiliate Programs For The Newbie Marketer

January 12, 2009 By Sherry Tingley

Every day of every year thousands of people flock to the internet to try to earn an income or even seek their fortune.

Not all are lucky enough to succeed – at least not without some guidance along the way.

For the newbie, affiliate marketing programs are a great way to create income for you even without a website. I can say this because of the great alternatives offered by free blogging platforms and free webpage creation sites such as Squidoo, Hubpages, etc.

Affiliate marketing programs are where a company offers to pay you a set amount for either a click through from your website, visitors signing up or a commission for a purchase of a product made by someone as a result of being referred from you.

The more people you get to your affiliate page or you send to them through your own site or blog, the greater your chance will be at making a sale and creating an online income.

Even if visitors don’t make a purchase immediately, almost all programs offer cookie duration, normally consisting of 30 – 90 days. What this means, is that as long as the visitors have the cookie in their computers cache, you’ll still receive a profit from the sale.

Certainly the a big portion of your time in maintaining your site will be searching for and implementing various affiliate products. Even though there’s a lot of money in affiliate marketing, you have to take the time to search for the best programs.

If your going to be strictly an affiliate marketer you don’t have to be to concerned with developing a website where you will need to add content in order to get it ranked in the search engines or create a high PR rating for it.

Your main tasks are finding the products and sending visitors to review it.

Affiliate tracking can also be a problem. Once you have applied to become an affiliate for a company, they’ll usually supply you with a personalized link that will contain a code that identifies you as the seller.

Before you start to bring visitors to your affiliate page you may want to consider cloaking the link in order to make it look better and to keep others from stealing your commissions.

It’s very important that you implement this code into your correctly, or you may be sending visitors to the company without receiving a profit on a sale.

Even though most merchants will assume some level of risk with fraud, there is still a level of risk involved. Once you know what you’re doing with affiliate marketing, you’ll be on top well before you know it.

Discover More – Can You Really Make Money In A Free Business Opportunity?

January 7, 2009 By Sherry Tingley

Are you frustrated by all these websites that use the word free. Do you, like me, feel the word free has to be one of the most overused words in the home business niche. It seems that everyone has a free this and a free that to offer you. So consider this, can you really make money in a free business opportunity.

The short answer to that is, yes you can. Here is how you can do that and we will use affiliate marketing as the business model.

Did you know you can join almost any affiliate marketing program for free? In a matter of a few minutes you can be set up with and affiliate i.d. number that is coded into an affiliate website.

You promote this affiliate website and whenever you make a sale you earn a commission. Your cost to do this is nothing but the time it takes you to promote your free affiliate website.

Before you think you have died and gone to heaven there is a couple of things you should know.

1. Getting traffic to your affiliate web page for free is harder than it sounds. You will have to work hard and master traffic generation methods such as classified ads, article marketing, forum marketing, blogging and so on.

2. Using the affiliate web page given to you by the merchant you are representing is a hard way to make money. If everyone is selling the same product with the same affiliate web site how do you make yourself stand out!

3. A person needs to be followed up with over and over before they buy. This is true both online and offline. Very few people buy much today without thinking it over.

If you promote your affiliate website you are sending traffic to a page that gives you no way to follow up in the future. Your visitor comes to your page, looks it over, and leaves. You have wasted your efforts for nothing.

So how do you get around that? You create your own web site and send visitors to it. You create a landing page and capture names and email addresses into and autoresponder. This is known as building a list and really does work.

Another thing you can do is create a pre sell page where you give a personal testimonial on the product you are selling. This will help you make more sales than the competition who is using the same old affiliate sales page.

So as you can see even affiliate marketing can go from being free to costing you a little bit of money for website hosting and an autoresponder such as aweber. This is still a very little cost compared to setting up a traditional business.

I guess that is why affiliate marketing has become so popular on the internet. I certainly make some very good monthly residual income from affiliate marketing and if you get a chance you should check out Info Product killer which my review can be found on MoneyMasterOnline.com

Create an online business using affiliate programs

January 5, 2009 By Sherry Tingley

Creating an online business using affiliate programs is possible and there are thousands of affiliates making up to $10,000 each month from affiliate programs. There are also a few affiliates who generate up to million dollars per year only from affiliate programs . Some will tell you that affiliate programs do not work, it’s their way to say I don’t want to work in the affiliate marketing business, or I cannot do so, either way it’s you who will determine if affiliate marketing can work for you or not.

Here are some affiliate marketing tips that could help you understand the process better and effectively make money with affiliate marketing.

1. Having your own content pages on the web. It can be your own website which is the better choice, or you can build content pages on other websites like social networks (squidoo, hubpages and stumbleupon) but it’s very important to write your own content as reviews and information about the affiliate products.

2. Writing and distributing articles. This way you establish your own identity on the internet, and people can find out how skilled you are. With article marketing you can generate traffic to your website or web pages and you can increase your webpage popularity. In either case, using your links in the articles and in the resource box of the articles is easy and you can invite your reader to click on your links to learn more useful information from you.

3. Choose the best affiliate programs in your niche market. If you are willing to put forth effort promoting affiliate products, it will be easier and more profitable for you to promote the best affiliate products.

4. Use pay per click marketing to generate traffic to your review site. With some products you can directly send traffic to your affiliate links from PPC search engines but it’s also recommended to send the traffic first to your review pages to help your customers make up their mind about your products.

5. In most cases people love to compare products and compare its features before purchasing, you can do so for them in your page and buy giving them more products and information about those products and compare a few products and point out the best product.

6. One huge mistake affiliates make is trying to hide. they don’t want their visitors to know that they are affiliates and they earn commission from the products. People do not care if you are earning a commission or not. They know that they will pay the same price for the product no matter how they got there, even if they went directly to owners website. But people care if you are trying to help them or help yourself. So think about helping your customers and the money will come.

7. Learn affiliate marketing. Knowledge separates us in the affiliate marketing business and any other online business. To be successful you need to learn. The best example is the Arabian-affiliate. When he decided to join the affiliate and network marketing business, he started learning the English language first, then he learned everything about internet marketing. I know him personally and I know he spent thousands of dollars in the process, and he told me once investing in education is investing in myself, and it’s the best investment you can make. And he is now one of the most successful affiliates on the net, and he now has his own team working for him.

So invest in your knowledge, learn everything about your business and be updated of every new technology on the internet. Signing up for newsletters can help you get some of the information.

8. Build a relationship with some successful affiliates. Get to know them and contact them. most of them hate being contacted by phone, but you can use the e-mail to contact them. You will be amazed of how they can help you, however they will invite you to join their programs but they can be very helpful. At first when I started working with the Arabian affiliate I thought to myself he is an idiot and I am a lot better than him and I know better, but with the time I learned that he knows how to lead, how to think small and get down to the lowest level of knowledge just to grab your hand and take you up step at a time to help you go up and reach a point of success where you can be left alone and be creative.

9. Another tip I learned from him is: to be a salesman you can duplicate. You can learn exactly what other affiliates are doing like him and thousands of other affiliate; but to be a supper affiliate you need to think different. You need to separate yourself from others by being creative, and develop your own ideas and strategies.

10. Use pen and paper. Write everything down, i.e. your thoughts, ideas and strategies; no matter how small, irrelevant or impossible it can appear to you at first. Sometimes when you go to sleep you will think of something. Write it down before you lose it. And save all of your writing and check it frequently. An idea that you thought of 3 months ago can now make you thousands of dollars, because then it seemed impossible to convert into action but now it’s more than possible and can be easily done.

People have no idea what kind of treasure is hidden in their mind and they have no access to that treasure.

Affiliate marketing is one of the few businesses that could not be affected with the bad economy. It’s true that every business and any individual will be affected from a bad economy, but with the time affiliate marketing business has proven to be successful. People will keep buying and keep trading no matter what happens. They can decrease and limit these actions and buying through the internet had proved to be easier and cheaper.

To be successful in business you need to think as a businessman and treat your business with the respect it requires.
