I have some more great news for our affiliates: I just added two new links to your affiliate media section of your affiliate account that you can use to promote the newest recordings and course that we have scheduled for home inspection business owners.

If you login to your affiliate control panel (which you can find the link to that on the Learn To Be Rich Affiliate Program page) you will be able to click on the “Links & Tools” link. Using links from there will automatically include your affiliate code in the links so that you get credit for sales and can get paid.

Here’s a little more information about the two links we’ve added and how I’d personally use them and how you might use them as well.

New “How To Market Your Home Inspector” Link

First, we have a new link for the “How To Market Your Home Inspector” business webinar that we are holding live tonight. I expect this recording to be somewhere between and hour and two hours packed full of amazingly valuable information for home inspection business owners. After the live version tonight, we will post up the recorded version on the website and the downloadable recorded version is primarily what you will be promoting as an affiliate.

Here’s how I would market it… I’d use some traditional websites that would allow me to post an ad and market it as a free download. Realize that you won’t be paid a commission for the free download, but you will receive commissions on sales made if they download the free recording and then do decide to upgrade to the full paid course (the link I will talk about next). The nice thing about promoting the free download is that you will tend to get a better response offering the free download and the great information we share in the free download is a pretty compelling reason for many people to upgrade to the full 10 hour paid course.

New Link For “The World’s Greatest Home Inspector Marketing Course”

The second link that I’ve added to your affiliate control panel is the direct link to the sales page for “The World’s Greatest Home Inspector Marketing Course”. This is the link to use if you are planning to sell the full paid course directly (which I encourage you to do that as well).

For any direct sales of this course that you make you will earn a 40% commission. So, if the price remains at the currently set price of $197 you would earn a commission of $78.80.

Marketing Tips For Our Affiliates

First, while I would market both the free download and the paid course simultaneously, I would probably lean more toward the marketing of the free course because response tends to be better if you show them value first with the free download and then let our automatic follow up and the free presentation itself encourage the home inspector to upgrade to the full paid course.

Second, don’t forget that this is just ONE of many courses that we have. Add this to your daily marketing plan to cast a wider net of possible sales you can make.

Third, if you realize the true power of doing marketing yourself AND working with other affiliates to help them make sales of their own you’ll do far better financial than just focusing on sales yourself. Just like I can only promote the free download and paid course in my own local city on websites like CraigsList because they limit the number of ads one person can post, you can only post a very small handful of ads yourself on websites.

However, we do pay a commission on direct sales and also on sales that affiliates you directly refer to us make. So, if you make a direct sale of a course you earn a 40% commission on that sale. If you refer an affiliate using your referral link that you can get in the affiliate control panel and they make a sale they earn 40%, but you also earn 15% of the sale as well.

If you can with a committed effort to your marketing reasonably expect to make a single sale a week and earn $78.80 that’s great. But what if you decided to find 20 other affiliates to work with and help them make 1 sale per week each. They’d each earn $78.80 and you’d earn an additional $591 per week (15% of $197 times 20 sales). With 300 major US cities to market to, 20 people is just a fraction of how big you could grow your affiliate team.

I hope that helps, but if you need more help, please let me know.

Sincerely,

James

Great news… I am getting caught up from having almost two weeks of downtime on our website from the major data center outage which destroyed the main server AND the backup server at our web hosting company. I finally added up the links for the bookkeeper products that we have for our affiliates.

To access these new resources our affiliates should login to their affiliate accounts as described on the LearnToBeRich.com Affiliate Program page.

The two new links I added for our affiliates include:

First, a link to the “How To Market Your Bookkeeper Business” free audio download. While you do not earn a direct commission promoting this particular product as an affiliate because it is free, it is a great tool for marketing to give away some great information and then allow us to follow up with your leads using our auto responder series to encourage them to upgrade to our full marketing course (and consulting) for bookkeepers (which you do earn a commission on).

Second, if you want to promote the full marketing course for bookkeepers appropriately called “The World’s Greatest Bookkeeper Marketing Course” (which is scheduled to be recorded live from March 8th through March 12th, 2010), you can now do so directly with a new affiliate link located in your “Links & Tools” section of your affiliate control panel.

If you need any help being successful with our affiliate program, please do let me know.

Sincerely,

James
