Create A Free Report Series

I'm going to keep this step very simple and to the point, but remember, this step is vital to your affiliate success. I will go as far as saying that if you create a responsive Opt-In list, 75% of your work is done for you already. That goes for anything you're doing online.

This free report will be promoting the first affiliate program you chose from step 1. It should be priced around $40 or $50 and pay you around $20 to $25 per sale.

Creating your free report is easy. Either find 5 articles on your subject that you're allowed to use, or create 5 articles yourself. They don't have to be long, only around 500 words. Then send them out to your prospects over 5 days using your autoresponder. Make sure these reports are full of useful information, not just blatant advertising. You do however get a chance to advertise to them directly later.

How I create autoresponder series is by writing 5 to 10 articles on the topic the affiliate program I'm promoting is on. For instance, if I were writing a report on search engine ranking, I would create the following articles.

1. The Tools Of The Search Engine Specialist

2. Meta Data, Yes Or No?

3. How Mini Sites Can Generate Thousands In Extra Visitors

4. Getting Listed In Yahoo! The Easy Way

5. Creating Keywords Relevant To Your Site

6. Search Engine Ranking On A Budget

7. The Biggest Search Engine Myths

And so on..

Everyone can write, I don't care what you say. Keeping it simple is the best way to go. Don't get daunted by the task ahead of you otherwise you will delay doing anything at all.

Another tip I have for writing articles is to jot down points, and use those points to build your article. For instance, when writing "How Mini Sites Can Generate Thousands In Extra Visitors", I would jot down points like this.

* Choosing A Domain Name

* Finding Cheap Web Hosting

* Using Keywords Throughout The Web Site

* Submitting To Search Engines

* Tracking Hits

* Doing This All Over Again

I would then write 100 to 200 words per point and voila!, there's your first article/report for you to use.
