The Unicorn, The Dragon, And...
The High-Earning Affiliate

The affiliate model is a "high reward/low risk" Web site monetization option...

• you don't have to develop excellent products -- it has already been done for you. You simply judge and pick the best available ones, from the best available merchants!
• you don't have to spend large amounts to manufacture and store inventory
• no need to take and process a single order, or worry about getting paid (you don't even need a merchant account!) -- you simply send people to your affiliated merchants, then get paid when they buy
• you don't have to handle or ship a product -- your merchants do that
• you'll never have to answer customer e-mail (inquiries and support are 24/7 issues that can easily eat up 50% of your day)
• they cost nothing to join (beware of the few that do)
• your affiliate business can be started part-time, on a shoestring. Here's an example.

Sounds great... and the "affiliate model" has mushroomed since Amazon.com first brought it into public prominence in 1997. Millions of affiliates send billions of visitors to tens of thousands of companies in return for a payment. Major research houses like Forrester Research project the affiliate model to grow exponentially over the next few years.

So... if the affiliate model is so attractive, and so widely adopted, and growing so rapidly...

Why Do Most Affiliates Make Less Than $500 Per Month?

Why do the majority of affiliates never even make a single check?

Because... they are either doing it wrong, or not doing it at all.

Yes, it's true that a small number of affiliates ("super-affiliates") are making some very large incomes ($150,000+ per year). And a larger minority, roughly the top 2-3%, do earn lower-but-still-substantial amounts.

But the truth remains... the vast majority of affiliates fail to earn.

So What's the Problem?

Affiliates fail due to one or more of the following four problems. All four are avoidable/beatable, with the appropriate strategies and tools. Let's review...

The solution? Upfront thinking and planning...

• Develop best site concept/theme
• Brainstorm most profitable topics
• Select best related affiliate programs.

The solution? Successful affiliates select the best companies. They ignore those banners -- they know how to go out and do it right, on their own! And then, they eliminate the dependency totally... they diversify into other, complementary monetization models.

The solution? Take what you know, what you love, and turn it into a Theme-Based Content Site. Attract highly targeted, interested "PREcustomers," provide solid value through content, then refer them to your affiliate merchants.

The solution? If you know how, you can put yourself into their click path. The "Top 3%" affiliates all...

• make the content of their Web pages "attractive" to Search Engines
• track how each page performs on the major Search Engines, from submission, through spidering, indexing and finally to how each page ranks
• develop more than one way to drive traffic
• analyze Click IN and Click Through patterns meticulously, as if their businesses depended on it (because it does)
• follow key traffic stats from a good log file analyzer
• execute well, having assembled or created a wide variety of expensive tools.

Do these solutions sound out of reach for you? They used to be, not any more...

How Do We Define "Success"?
Become a Top 1% Affiliate
Build a Web Site That Works

The lifeblood of a growing affiliate business is traffic. So here's our definition of "success"...

Hundreds of visitors per day, every day, generated by you, growing to thousands as you continue to create high-value, high-ranking content related to your site's theme.

Total beginner or seasoned affiliate marketer? It does not matter. Start from scratch and see success grow before your eyes, through the affiliate programs of other companies, who do the actual selling and shipping of products for you...

• without any programming or design knowledge/experience
• without being a Search Engine "guru"
• without needing to have a single product of your own.

Use SBI! to turn your knowledge or hobby into an income-generating, theme-based affiliate site.

How?

Turn knowledge into content. Then convert that content into income.

Your site delivers great content on a particular set of topics (all related to your site's theme). People find your content through your high rankings at the Search Engines (and other techniques). They click on your related merchant links. Your merchants pay you commissions for the sales and your visitors are delighted with the products and convenience...

WIN-WIN-WIN.

For example...

Passionate about cooking with hot spices? Chili peppers, cayenne... the hotter, the better? Brainstorm the most profitable topics, and deliver hot and sensual content. Establish your voice and style. Deliver quality, in-demand material. You'll be surprised at how quickly a following develops. And then...

You're ready to monetize (cookbooks through Barnes and Noble, cookware, food processors, and so forth). Blend in Google Adwords and you're off to a fast start towards a profitable Web site... one you'll love building.

Maybe vintage, racing hot rods are your obsession? Create a site about roadsters -- no, create the site about rebuilding roadsters ("how-to-rebuild-roadsters.com"). Refer your ever-growing, highly motivated traffic to related merchants (auto accessories, car dealers, etc.).

Or how about photography? See how this "Top 1%" SBI! owner does it.

How about travel? Build a site about family-traveling or exotic locations. Refer traffic to priceline.com, book stores, and other merchants who sell travel-related products.

Music... Fashion... Games... Electronics...

Or more esoteric interests like organic gardening or Aussie football.

Even children's birthday parties!...

Elad is an infopreneur. His full story is outlined here.

Allan Gardyne went on to challenge an employee, a "Net marketing novice," to use SBI! to build an affiliate site. That first success led to "well, can he do it again?" second experiment. Yes, anyone can do this, and they can do it more than once...

Rupert did it twice, his stories baring it all...

The fears. The insecurities. The important things he did that led to his success.

And then he did it again. With confidence this time. His second site became an even bigger success than the first!.

Rupert has since bought other SBI! sites to start his own, personal, affiliate business. As Allan says on his site...

That is the repeating-success power of SBI!.

Ralph Wilson is widely regarded as "the dean of Net marketing." His highly respected Web Marketing Today is read by over 100,000 subscribers. Mr. Wilson has been featured in such publications as the Wall Street Journal, BusinessWeek, and The New York Times.

He recently reviewed the usefulness of SBI! for affiliates...

Ralph Wilson does not give praise lightly -- he has a reputation as a severe critic, a fair-but-tough reviewer. Like SBI! itself, he stresses the need to follow the process and to be willing to work (we call it "BAM"... Brain and Motivation). Anyone who wants to build a business without time and effort is doomed to disappointment. As mentioned earlier, we do not want those customers.

Dan Gray, author of The Complete Guide to Associate & Affiliate Programs on the Net, (McGraw-Hill Professional Publishing ISBN: 0071353100), wrapped Site Build It! all up in one perfect sentence...

That's it in a nutshell...

1. "create worthwhile sites that give something back to the Net"

   No "gateway" pages here. No tricks. You're building truly high-value content that pleases both human readers as well as the Search Engines. You add to the collective wisdom of the Net.

2. "while tapping the clickstream"

   Your pages will generate targeted traffic into your site. You refer them on to affiliated merchants. That traffic flow is called a "clickstream." You tap the clickstream for income.

What a perfect description of the process.

In his excellent book, Mr. Gray describes how several successful affiliates have reached high levels of success. Every single one, each a highly savvy Net marketer, builds theme-based sites that are loaded with highly profitable topic pages.

There are no limit to the possibilities. Create sites about whatever excites you. Then convert that content into traffic, and that traffic into dollars.

"Build income through content." C T P M

And have fun doing it. It's the best "job" in the world.

Why SBI!?

Two reasons...

1. It is the only product in the world that takes you step-by-step through the powerful, natural process of Content Traffic PREsell Monetize

2. SBI! provides all the tools that you need to execute C T P M flawlessly, integrated seamlessly into the step-by-step process.

All you have to do is deliver content about your theme/niche. SBI! handles all the behind-the-scenes technology and complexity of building and marketing your Web site, which frees you to focus on what you know best... your business.

Now that you know the big picture of how to succeed online,
review the Quick Tour to see how SBI! makes sure you execute it to perfection.

Site Build It! overcomes the barriers that eliminates 98% of all affiliates. It provides all the information, strategies and tools needed to progress from brainstorming to content-development to traffic-building. It eliminates the complexities and technologies, allowing you to focus on building your business.

SBI! empowers you to own your niche. That means...

1. Own your free, targeted, motivated traffic.

   Grow YOUR business by growing your own niche-oriented traffic.

2. Diversify. Monetize your traffic in non-affiliates ways, too (ex., especially Google AdSense).

   Protect your income, and build equity, by diversifying into new monetization models. What if your merchant partner goes bankrupt tomorrow? Or shuts down their Web division, reduces commissions, or fails on their payments?

3. Build equity.

   Not only do you own your self-produced targeted traffic, but you'll build a large e-zine list. Hundreds, then thousands, will sign up for your zine, allowing you to build trust over time.

4. Increase Conversions.

   PREselling through valued content establishes credibility. So your recommendations carry weight. The difference in Conversion Rate between visitors who arrive PREsold via an in-context text link vs. a banner can be as high as 20-fold.

The bottom line? This business is YOURS. If one of your merchants (ex., Amazon) becomes unstable or treats its affiliates unfairly, you switch to a competitor (ex., Barnes and Noble). Or you can emphasize an entirely different monetization model (ex., Google AdSense).

The key, of course, is owning your own traffic. Before you can can PREsell... before you can earn affiliate income... you must grow your own traffic.

Build Other Streams of Revenue, Too...
Diversify: Add New Income Streams
To Your Affiliate Marketing Business

To monetize as large a percent as possible of your visitors, diversify beyond the affiliate model. Google AdSense is a "must" add-on if your main business is to be an affiliate, and others are available (more on this later).

From RC cars to roadsters, from children's birthday parties to high-end audio/electronics, the niches (and themes related to those niches) are infinite. But no matter what niche your affiliate marketing business occupies, monetization must start with significant volumes of relevant traffic...

Once you have traffic, the next question is...

"Since I Own My Traffic Now,
And Only a Small Percent Will Buy,
How Else Can I Monetize That Traffic?"

There isn't any doubt that SBI! delivers the traffic. And yes, that is the lifeblood of your Affiliate Marketing business. But remember... in a wider sense, you're in "business."

Like countless offers that we all see every day, most of your high-volume, PREsold traffic will not ultimately be interested in your merchants' products. Enough will, of course, for you to grow significantly.

But why not monetize your traffic by offering other products and/or services? In other words, develop a mix of supplementary monetization models. Diversify your business into multiple streams of income.

Here is how to build a diversified monetization mix. Consider each monetization model carefully. Depending on your particular niche and Affiliate Marketing business practices, some will apply to you. Some won't.

Now that Google AdSense offers yet another (the best) way to monetize a purely informational theme-based content site, you can afford to be more selective. Pick fewer (i.e., only the best) affiliate programs related to your niche. (AdSense and SBI! are literally made for each other -- SBI! builds targeted, themed traffic, while AdSense monetizes it with ease.)

As a matter of fact, the ideal diversification strategy is most likely to combine AdSense with a few top-notch affiliate programs, blending in a finder's relationship or two. Now you can focus on building your Affiliate Marketing business, and on diversifying it into a broader, more stable, full-fledged business.

It all adds up to a strong, stable way to monetize an "infopreneurial" site.

Want Proof?

Click here for proof that you won't find anywhere else on the Internet. Search as hard and long as you like... you won't find documented PROOF OF PROCESS like this.

With proof like that, it's fair to say...

There is no stronger, more cost-effective way to build your affiliate business, whether you merely want to convert a hobby into a money-maker instead of a money-spender, or whether you ultimately want to quit your day job.

And THAT is why the Top 3% of affiliates may one day all be SBI! owners!
