How You Can Make Money Online?
Through SYSTEMS That Do Most Of The Marketing Work For You…
WELCOME
My name is Richard Penfold (pictured with my daughter Rebecca and wife Susanne) and I’d like to show you how you can earn money online part-time too.
Nothing to buy … no strings attached.
The goal of this business is to build a legit growing monthly affiliate income to create the financial foundation to support whatever you want.
What would your financial foundation support?
Car or home payments?
“Just a little extra to take the heat off”
Or ditching the job to spend more time ___________ ?
This is a ‘lifestyle’ business model meaning it can be worked successfully very part-time.
The reason?
Because it leverages ‘proven systems’ to do most (not all) of the hard work.
Freeing you to focus on the ONE TASK required to make the system work…
Showing it to people.
The simplicity is the key to success.
Show people the ‘right’ system and Earn Money.
The more people you show the more money you earn.
Obviously the system has to really HELP PEOPLE…
Be legit, evergreen… PROVEN.
Brief backstory…
In a nutshell …I sucked at making money online until I was introduced to the power of ‘systems’ by my mentor…
Marketing systems to be specific. Often known as ‘funnels’.
Because they funnel people through a sequence of educational, inspiring, and motivational information that take them on a journey towards their desired outcome…
A RESULT they want.
In my case to build dependable monthly income on a part time basis 🙂
Funnels and systems are proven to help people achieve results way beyond their skill and experience levels.
Which is why this is ideal for beginners and people that have never achieved the results they deserve.
I used to work for top tier consulting firms recruiting junior consultants into their business. These firms could charge their clients a lot of money for these bright but very young people… BUT ONLY once they had learned the company ‘methodology’ … the SYSTEM.
Clients where happy to pay because they knew the methodology (system) worked even though the people delivering it often lacked experience.
Methodology, process, routine, system…
Whatever name you give it you must arm yourself with a PROVEN one.
Combine a marketing system or funnel with a product or service proven to get people the results they want and you have your vehicle to take you to SUCCESS.
Simple Affiliate Success
Is dependent on ONE TASK…
Showing the right system to the right people…
The simplicity is the key.
There’s only ONE thing to learn…
How to find people interested in getting a specific RESULT…
Making money online through affiliate marketing in this example.
Let’s take a closer look.
What Makes A WINNING System or Funnel?
It MUST promote a product or service that’s PROVEN to get people a specific result.
Happy Customers are key.
But not everyone will buy straight away so the complete process has to…
- Build you a list of prospects interested in the result the product or service provides.
- Lead your prospects down a specific path…
- Freely educating them on the topic and how to achieve the result they want (people don’t have to buy anything to get this valuable education).
- Provide social proof that it WORKS.
- Shows people a way to get the result faster, better, or for less cost usually through buying a product or service (earning you affiliate commission).
- Provides all required training.
- Provides a community of like minded people.
- Provides ongoing follow-up marketing that keeps people engaged.
- It does all this automatically without you doing anything extra work.
- Because VALUE is freely given before anything is offered funnels are proven to CONVERT better than traditional sales processes.
- A very few even share the companies complete portfolio of products and services that customer may buy in the future …potential for LIFETIME AFFILIATE COMMISSION!
- And some may also allow you to insert your own affiliate links for any 3rd party products and services recommended …MULTIPLE STREAMS of INCOME from one promotion!
Sound a little far fetched?
Have I been on the happy juice again?
Introducing The ‘ULTIMATE’ Affiliate Program…
The EASIEST Programs for you to profit from…
Here’s why.
Because they pay you lifetime commissions on their referrals, which include frontend (fast money) backend (high ticket) and monthly recurring (foundational) Commissions.
This is the game-changer for you…
Here’s how this often plays out…
You pay for advertising.
Which gets people (prospects) to see the ‘funnel’ you promote…
A tiny percentage of people may buy upfront but often nobody will. You’ll almost certainly won’t cover your advertising budget at this point 🙁
But don’t worry…
This is how it’s supposed to work!
You know the funnel is going to continue to educate, inspire and motivate these people through valuable helpful content…
This is a pleasurable process for people to go through, offering free valuable education and the opportunity for the most interested of these people to buy a product or service that is PROVEN to help them get the result they want faster, better or for less cost.
Social proof is used extensively to demonstrate how people are benefiting from the product or service.
This funnel and follow up process will turn your loss making advertising investment through break-even and on to profit usually over the first 7 – 30 days 🙂
But there’s MORE…
In Russell Brunson’s excellent book Dotcom Secrets Russell introduces the idea of the Value Ladder…
So if you’ve picked a GREAT company to promote as an affiliate…
Your referrals will have the opportunity to climb the value ladder as they see the positive results from each level of product and service they use.
Clearly not all of your referrals will buy and use anything beyond the initial offer…
That’s fine.
But over time people will climb the ladder (provided the products and services deliver on their promises).
This is one of the critical concepts Russells consulting clients learn.
Here’s the thing…
Most of the great companies that use this business approach DON’T share these backend profits with their affiliates…
Which SUCKS! 🙁
… But a very few do 🙂
Want more?
In Russell’s other great book “Expert Secrets” Russell shares the concept of the ‘Charismatic Leader’ with a worthy cause and a new vehicle to take people there…
These are people with a polarizing personality & message…
They attract ‘some’ people very, very strongly.
And repel others just as strongly.
Russell’s personal cause was to help growing businesses avoid the need for venture capital funding by using Russells unique at the time software & consulting services to self-fund their growth.
This approach was off the planet successful.
But ONLY attracted his dream customers…
Businesses he knew he could help.
Expert Secrets has some fascinating examples from all walks of life to illustrate this power.
For affiliate marketers finding a company with…
- PROVEN products and services that share their value ladder and
- have a charismatic leader with a desirable ’cause’ and
- new vehicle for achieving it…
Is the Nirvana…
It’s my opinion that if you can find one you’ll make money promoting it.
These programs are what I call Ultimate Affiliate Programs…
And they’re really hard to find!
Here are some recent results from doing the above …very part time.
Hey there,
I’ve really enjoyed reading this article as it’s helpful, interesting and informative. I’ve been struggling quite a bit in the affiliate marketing world simply because I’m not able to find good interests. I’m definitely looking forward in promoting Ultimate Affiliate Program as it’s interesting. In case if I promote it and get a referral, will I be paid via PayPal?
Thanks a lot in advance for answering my question and for this detailed post. Keep up the good work!
Hi AV2001, The Ultimate Affiliate Program is a concept not an actual product you can buy or promote specifically. The concept is that to make it big as an affiliate you need to promote products and services that share the backend profits from customers you refer.
Most affiliates work on the one and your done model, meaning do all the hard work to refer a ‘customer’ and get paid yay! but what next? Find another customer…
But what if you kept being paid for the first customer your refer? Recurring commissions on steroids…
The Ultimate Affiliate Program is my term to describe a new level of affiliate opportunity.
If you want to go through the process and see for yourself click here…
Hi there,
I agree, recurring sources of income are the way to go and will help give some security in the online business world. It’s hard not knowing when your next sale will come in. The Ultimate Affiliate Program certainly sounds interesting. I’m particularly curious about what will be offered in the affiliate marketplace. Will this be additional affiliate programs that affiliates can join?
Great question. The ‘marketplace’ is aimed at entrepreneurs and offers them lot’s of free content, including free training courses. It also offers premium courses produced from in house and external experts.
So if somebody you as an affiliate refer decides to go through a free training course (for example) that course may recommend other tools and services such as hosting, lead capture solutions, other relevant training. These are all optional but if you as the referring affiliate are also affiliated with these other products (all bar 2 are free to promote as an affiliate) then you get paid.
So it means if you refer somebody who resonates with this market and community you as the affiliate get the opportunity to earn commissions from different companies as your referral ascends through the training.
I hope this makes sense 🙂
Thanks for the question Kris.
Hello; I found your coriousity based concept to be a good idea. Yes, the landing page should be short and convincing. When a marketer earns a commission on every product, it speaks valum for the marketer.
When doing business, a welcome thank you, speaks valume, it is a tremendous stratedgy to work with in addition to a free offer. From where I stand, I believe that Bing will take the lead over Google, because Bing gives you an option to spend as you can afford.
Once you begin to promote your Site with helpful Content your audience will gravitate to your offer and give you their support.
DorcasW
Thanks DorcasW, Yes, Bing are much easier to work with than Google, though Facebook seem to be teaching Google some humility.
Hello Richard
Liked the way you presented this review. I have read other reviews and found yours very informative and appealing to sign up with Vick’s program. I already have two other programs which I promote on my site. How long have you been with Vick ? I saw that he took out another program called the 30 day challenge which guides interested marketers to do tasks for 30 days to see results in the Affiliate Marketing niche. Looking forward to reviewing your other reviews of other programs
Cheers
Jake
I first noticed Vick when he did the impossible with Empower Network …impressive marketing.
But didn’t buy any of his stuff or promote him until Four Percent. I love the fact that Vick’s moved away from positioning Four Percent as a biz op / mlm.
Vick teaches his promotional partners to create their own unique ‘brand’ before promoting anything. The Ultimate Affiliate Offer is an idea I am testing. It’s what I belief is the essence of the Four Percent Group Marketplace of which The Four Percent Challenge is the main premium level entry product.
For me the Four Percent Challenge is working both as a training program and as a ‘market’ to promote…
Notice I said “market to promote” not product. The Four Percent Marketplace is next level for affiliates in the make money space because it shares the backend gravy with its affiliates!
Thanks for stopping by Jake 🙂
This sounds like a good strategy. I haven’t done a/b test yet on my sites, now I’m tempted to try it. How do you get traffic to your landing pages, with paid ads?
Very interested to see the progress of these tests and which landing pages gets you more sales. 😊
Hi Jenny, my case study pages will answer all these questions..
Thanks for your comment.
I never thought of my email list as ‘Hard-Coded’ but, I like the way that sounds and, I know how important it is. Thank you for your perspective, it all lined up in my brain in a way I can understand.
Your 5 point break-down of an Ultimate Affiliate Program is spot on in my eyes. You also just reminded me about making some new lists for my Marketplace ideas. I don’t use the Amazon affiliate program like thousands of others do so, I have to be really creative. Luckily, creativity is in my wheelhouse.
In your Case studies, have you thought about interviewing your mentors? I ask, because I recently thought about doing that. There are so many things I am currently learning at the moment and, I can gratefully say that I’ve excelled in quite a few of them. It just dawned on me, during one of my brainstorms, how much more I could learn having a dedicated time & space to ask questions that are not only relevant to me but, also to my readers as well (and, of course.)
Sounds like you’ve got a tone of ideas. The interviewing successful people is a great one …you might be inspired by this series of interviews here>>>
There are so many methods of creating online business and this appears to be a really good way of doing so. From the outset it looks complicated but then again, affiliate marketing was also a seemingly complex idea before I learnt the basics about it.
Would you consider the funnel system a better method of generating an online income stream? I have only have experience in Drop Shipping with the funnel system so a practical insight would be appreciated.
Rich
Hi Rich,
Great question. I tried Drop Shipping and it was profitable with great potential.
My dream is to build a passive income system that frees my time and funds my lifestyle. And though I know others that build more conventional business models and then either outsource or hire people to do the work I always wanted to use Affiliate Marketing as this vehicle.
Because Affiliate Marketing doesn’t require me to handle transactions or customer care it can be a very simple legitimate business model.
Though to set it up properly does require some work and investment once it’s done and you have a profitable sequence of information (as a funnel or sequence of blog posts or both) that supports testing & tracking you’re the main task is to test traffic sources for profitability and keep adding profitable ones until you hit your goal!
Driving paid traffic to a profitable ‘funnel’ is if being picky a semi-passive income system.
My advice would be for people to carefully research a proven legit business model, find a credible mentor to train them, put on their blinkers and do as instructed untill they hit their goal.
I’m glad your doing well with Drop Shipping …keep up the good work 🙂
The Ultimate Affiliate Program concept is definitely how all the big time marketers are doing it. It does take years of work to get the recipe right and the funnels all set up perfectly and so that one can get the highest conversion rates.
Wouldn’t the first part of this concept be aimed maybe at building a list for yourself that you can market to again and again? This would make sense, as it is easier to market to existing customers than new ones all the time.
Hi Michel 🙂
Yes, build a list – definitely.
In my diagram above elements of a ‘smart’ affiliate system are to BUILD YOU as a brand so you can stand apart from other affiliates. To HELP PEOPLE through your content in all forms email, funnel, website, social etc. And to make sure you can TEST & TRACK all your key elements so that your ‘marketing’ gets better over time.
As affiliates, our ‘funnels’ can be much simpler than the companies we promote. To the point where one GREAT article may be all that’s required.
If we promote the right affiliate programs we also benefit from the vendors sales process. Pick what I’ve dubbed an ‘Ultimate’ affiliate program and you can look forward to frontend, backend and recurring income streams being built for you!
That’s smart 🙂
Thank you very much for this informative post, I find it really interesting and helpful. I have been struggling in the online world .the ultimate affiliate program sound nice and I think one can make a fortune out of it. Affiliate marketing is such a nice stuff and am ready to put in the right dedication.
This is one of the most useful articles I have read in a long time! Not only did you give concrete examples of your funnel, but you explained them in an understandable language! And I have to say that from the screenshots you have put up there, you know how to market your stuff!
That being said, I am yet to get onto the solo ads and/or Bing PPC train since my knowledge of paid traffic is not quite up to par yet. There is so much to learn! And since we are on the “learning” subject, I also have very limited knowledge about A/B testing and how it actually works. Do you have any suggestions on where I could get more in-depth information about this?
Thanks!
Hi Denis, I’m glad you liked the post and all the ‘funnel’ elements I share.
To be honest it’s the first A/B test I’d ever run. And I’ve only run one more since.
The first one confirmed an idea I thought was right the second one proved me wrong about another idea I was certain would win…
I learned the most from being proved wrong!
I’m no Russell Brunson testing really granular details of my messaging.
I just want to test the key elements like the big idea behind the content, headline, more or less text, use of video etc.
With today’s tech it’s not hard to set up, and a few tests will sharpen your messaging.
I have 3 sources of training information that shaped my outcome.
1. My mentor’s high-level training about how to set up a winning affiliate funnel. Which was the plan If followed.
2. Free training from the guy’s at Thrive Themes. Thrive specialize in creating the best suite of conversion tools for WordPress.
In my experiment, I used Thrive to build my landing page then cloned it to test long copy against short copy.
This experiment was aimed 100% for solo add traffic. I expected the short copy high curiosity content to win and it did.
For PPC traffic and with a mind to getting Google PPC approval once I’d smoothed out the rough edges using Bing PPC I tested two longer copy pages.
I was certain the longer ‘prettier’ variation would have won …but it didn’t by a long way!
It pays to test if you’re paying for traffic.
So I used Thrive to create my ‘funnel’. A lot of people use Clickfunnels for this but for me, that’s a sledgehammer to crack a nut.
Thrive also provide an A/B testing solution. But in this instance, I chose to use Clickmagick for the testing because Clickmagick are specialists in tracking conversions across different platforms and have awesome fraud detection built in. Click fraud is a well-documented issue with sols ad vendors, I would always run this traffic through Clickmagick so I can make sure I get what I’ve paid for.
It was very easy for me to load both page variations into Clickmagick and let them run the test.
In terms of pointing you in the right direction, I think this free training from Thrive is ideal for people new to testing…
Thank you so much for your complete answer and the link!
I actually started about six months ago with Elementor and bought the pro version about a month ago. There is a long learning curve but I have been able to create a landing page for my website. Thrive is pretty similar to Elementor I believe (from what I found out before I purchased Elementor Pro). I will also have to check out Clickmagic before I do any of the paid traffic things anyway!
Thanks again!
Hi Dennis, Glad it helps.
Yes, Elementor will work fine. Clickmagick is a great service when using paid traffic.
Good luck and enjoy the journey 🙂
I am a bit lost. What is a ‘funnel’ really ? And how different is it from a website? Your strategy of sharing info and building trust is very good. Surely in as much as everyone wants to make money, there are always legitimate ways to do that without deceiving people. Its just that many believe you need to lie in order to really be successful. I’m also taking that route, transparency, helpful accurate content and helping people.
Hi Lunensu, love your question what is a ‘funnel’ really?
I would highly recommend anyone interested in funnels read Russell Brunson’s excellent book “Expert Secrets”.
As an affiliate marketer, I’ve decided my best approach that suits my personality, situation, skills, challenges, and GOALS is to help people via simple LEARN DO SHOW & SHARE content strategy which doesn’t require me to be an expert or pretend to something I’m not.
I do believe that learning how to communicate your ideas clearly and effectively is easier if you structure your content in a way that allows you to TEST and revise it so that it improves over time.
I’ve found this hard to do with a traditional website layout. Sure Google Analytics will help a lot, but let’s face it Google have hardly mastered creating user-friendly systems have they?
Funnels, on the other hand, are designed to allow the testing of key marketing elements in an environment free from distractions.
As I’m just starting to discover the value of using basic funnels in my affiliate business I’ll share an example of when a funnel helped my business…
The funnel was designed to gain email opt-ins from Bing PPC traffic and consisted of a Landing Page and a Thank You Page for people that had subscribed.
I wanted to test two different versions of the Landin Page. The one I was CERTAIN would win was prettier and had more copy …It achieved over 12% fewer subscribers that the uglier page …Mind BLOWN!
So to answer your question a funnel is a piece of content that allows you to test its performance against pre-defined objectives. It can be as short as 1/2 a page or as long as many pages with many user-driven variations.
But as affiliates, I don’t believe we need to use the excellent but highly featured funnel building software such as Clickfunnels. A good quality WordPress page builder combined with a tracking software gets the job done for me.
You can see what I use on my resources page if you want.
I hope this helps 🙂
Thanks for sharing your website with us, Richard. This Ultimate Affiliate marketing sounds like something to get into. I can’t wait til I get back home. Today I’m going back home on my laptop. I’m going to do some serious research on things.
Thanks for your comment, Roger 🙂
Yes, this is a game-changer for affiliates IMO
Thanks for breaking it`s down step by step on how affiliates marketing works and how it work for you your article is full of information and is very educative.
Recurring revenue is the goal of every affiliates marketers but how to achieve this goal looks like difficult task and that`s why so many people quit but article like this not only open my eyes to possibility but also give me courage.
Glad you like the post-Micheal.
If I started my affiliate journey again I would have started by being a lot more introspective. I would have spent a lot more time better defining my WHY, my goal …hindsight is a wonderful thing though 🙂
There are actually a lot of systems that work the challenge when starting is recognizing them amongst the ‘noise’ and remaining focussed on ONE long enough to properly test its suitability for you personally.
But you definitely can do this.
Good luck.
Well written! Building trust is key to building a successful affiliate business. Like my mentor used to tell me: “Be sincerely interested in helping people and then the money will come.”I am just starting out with WordPress. Thanks for letting me know that I can use that as a low cost alternative to expensive funnel building softwares. I am also very happy with your success with bing ads. I tried bing a couple years ago and got Zero optin rate. From what I see from your post, split testing is the key. Thanks for the awesome post.
Hi, phranell86 I’m glad you got something from it.
I’ve only recently started building basic landing page funnels but testing them is proving very worthwhile and cost-effective. The tech available today really is fantastic.
I try to building my early retirement making money by affiliate marketing and I find the wealthy affiliate is very success and fantastic.
Hi Joseph, agree! Wealthy Affiliate is a great place to learn affiliate marketing.
Thanks for your comment.
I absolutely love this insightful article because it is full of great information. This is fascinating and interesting to me.I have been looking for other ways to expand my affiliate marketing business, but seeing this review will be of help to me on making another extra online money. This article is really helpful thanks for the review. Regards
Hi Adamu2, if you’re looking for ways to expand your affiliate business you should check this out because it does so much of the heavy lifting for you.
It’s made the world of difference for me so why not you…
Richard 🙂
This article is really interesting. I would say it is one of best articles I have read lately. Free entry point and video training on affiliate marketing is really cool. I am convinced within that ultimate affiliate program is really worth my time in sharing content on product and services. This will also add to the list of affiliates marketing platforms that I am. What is the price for the premium training?
Hi Fortune, yes it’s great that there is a free way for people to get a feel for things and then they can invest in the premium training if when they feel comfortable (there is also a 30-day money back guarantee).
Anyway I’ve covered all the pricing details in my full review here…
Hope this helps 🙂
The review of Ultimate Affiliate Programs is very interesting and inspirational. At present, earning online through affiliate marketing is a very popular profession as well. But there are many scams in this sector. Hence, there is a tiny risk of loss if I can’t select the right platform. It seems effective after reading the reviews of Ultimate Affiliate Programs with many information and diagrams. Would you mind if, to be a member of this program, how much to pay at the initial stage? And have there any training opportunity to develop affiliate marketing skills?
Thanks for the nice review.
Regards
Ranao.
Hi Rgpratap, to be clear the ‘Ultimate Affiliate Program’ is my interpretation of something my mentor teaches. He calls it creating a custom wrapper. The idea being you create your own unique description of the product you want to promote so that you can advertise and promote in a way that’s different from all the many other affiliates promoting the same thing.
It’s worked very well.
In terms of where I got this training, you can read a review of the program that sits behind the ultimate affiliate program, which includes the costs etc.

This article is the informative one I have read so far. Affiliate marketing was a seemingly complex idea before I learnt the basics about it. You gave very smart examples regarding your funnel and I have understood them easily because you have written this article in a very easy language. Can I know some details about free video training example? Cause I learnt about your site that you are providing free training for the affiliate marketer. Overall, Thank you so much for writing such an helpful article like this.
Hi Tushar, I think the free video training you’re referring to maybe this…. To be clear this is not my training it’s from a mentor.
I do plan on adding video into my content but wouldn’t describe it as ‘training’ because I don’t feel qualified to teach. As a student, I do feel able to show people what I’ve learned and the results I’m getting, linking to the training, tools and services that help me with… you guessed it my affiliate links.
I must confess the concept of finding and promoting ultimate affiliate programs stands to be the best way for every affiliate.
I mean why hang on to making singles sales every single day if you can have it both front and back end.
But the problem still remains to get that legit product that can offer you that.
Except like you said, one may probably need to find a way to create such system and by first helping people you can get them to fully trust you and stick around in a subscription-based System.
But I guess with this, you will also need to make sure you provide them with consistent value to keep them around.
Thanks for sharing your split test results with us. It’s good to have an insight into what all this entails…
Cheers..
Thanks for commenting Queen.
There are top quality programs that provide much of what I talk about, Clickfunnels is a good example. A great service for business owners with a few relevant developments offerings to support their customer’s ongoing growth … builds a very loyal customer base which is great news for affiliates.
What I’d never seen before is a company that allows it’s affiliates to not only benefit from sales of its own products but also the 3rd party tools suggested through the training.
It’ll be interesting to see it this copied?
Hello,
‘How I Make Money Online -3’ are a very impressive article. I really enjoyed reading this Informational article. Your strategy is sound good. ‘The Ultimate Affiliate Program’ branding idea which is created by you I like most. I am interested to know how I get traffic on my landing page with paid ads? Thank you very much for sharing.
Hi Irin, I like to start with Bing PPC because Bing is easier to work with than Google. You can start with a low budget and test to make sure your messaging is working before adding other traffic methods. If your messaging isn’t working you can stop paying for traffic and work on your content.
You might find this case study post interesting…
Hi, I’m reading your article. I am hopeful that online business is an important platform for economic prosperity and employment. One of the affiliates. I am working in affiliate, I think it will enrich my career too. I encourage my friend Mahal to work in affiliate. I believe they will also choose the affiliate platform for their own prosperity. Thank you.
Hi Richard,
Very interesting, smart and likable approach building up your business. Congratulations!
Did you already finalize the Four Percent Challenge, as well as the WA training program???
If you finalized them, when?
Hi Ralph, Thank you and a great question.
I completed the WA training a while ago, and it’s very good… I’ve had moderate success with the content approach taught by WA. But deep down I’m not really a content marketer, meaning I don’t really want to be continuously producing content. I would describe my preferred style of marketing as more ‘direct response’ in style the type of stuff Russell Brunson teaches.
The Four Percent Success Challenge is my style of marketing plus it has a huge mindset component that personally I love. Though I’ve completed session 24 of the challenge, I’m concentrating on reworking my business frontend (the lead capture and email follow up content). This is the stuff taught in the first 10 days on the challenge.
I’m doing this because I realize the huge potential of getting this right, rather than racing through the training. This would be my big tip. It’s not a race.
Thanks for visiting Ralph.
This post was quite helpful, fascinating, and instructive, and I thoroughly enjoyed reading it. I’ve been having a lot of difficulty in the affiliate marketing field since I can’t seem to locate appropriate interests. I’m excited to promote Ultimate Affiliate Program because it looks interesting. Will I be compensated in what method if I promote it and earn a referral?
Would you consider the funnel technique to be a more effective way of earning internet revenue? I’ve only done Drop Shipping and Drop Serving with the funnel system, so any practical advice would be very appreciated. Thankyou very much for this grate post. Keep it up..
Hi Pasindu, The Ultimate Affiliate Program this refers to uses Tipalti as it’s payment processor which allows most forms of money transfer. Personally I use Paypal. I use the term ‘funnel’ but what I mean is a number of key messages to help people better understand the subject. Sometimes these messages should follow a logical sequence, but sometimes a blog post / page with links off to the various message posts can work just as well to let people discover the information in their own time.
Hope this helps …thanks for your questions 🙂
It’s nice of you to help others get to work. It is very difficult to decide on such a step. I was in such a situation, I didn’t know anything about making money online, I wanted to direct my excess time to something good and profitable. It turned out that I made a good step and I would like to recommend the same to everyone.
I’m stoked it’s worked out well for you 🙂
This has been a very helpful and informative post on how to make money online. I have heard about Russell Brunson before, but have not read any of his books. So it is interesting to see his concept of the “value leader” and attracting customers.
How did you build your list of prospects? Do you have a method that you use? How long does it realistically take to start earning income with the programs that you use? Thank you.
I like to use search engine pay per click traffic into content that is review / comparison / how to styled which normally offers an email optin for people that want deeper info, or for people that don’t want to optin it will likely take them via my affiliate link to a company, product, or service that will help them with that topic.
Pay per click traffic can convert very fast, within hours on occasion because it’s so targeted.
I treat organic free search engine traffic as icing on the cake, but don’t worry about getting it.
Personally I like to promote companies that develop super loyal customers from a free entry level then ascend some of them via their value ladder over time.When these companies pay affiliates lifetime affiliate commissions, for me this is a great opportunity as I only need make the initial intro and it’s a great experience for my referrals whether they ascend or not.
Hey Richard!
Thank you for sharing about how you can make money online!
I agree that having systems that do all the marketing for you is crucial. It’s all in the system because that’s how you’re able to automate your business.
How does the ultimate affiliate comp plan look like? I’m always looking around for other affiliate programs. Thanks for sharing!
Hi Lorenz, the ‘Ultimate’ Affiliate Program is my ideal criteria for a comp plan, and I’ve only ever found one company meet all my criteria, and a few that get close. Firstly it has to offer people a free level, a no risk way to see the value. It’s success is dependent on ‘some’ people ascending based on getting value, it has to be a win, win, win. From here I want the potential for lifetime affiliate commissions, and a high front end average customer value (covers ad costs) there is more which you can read about here.
Thanks for your interest.
This was an interesting read. Since joining wealthy affiliate I have gained so much confidence and stepped out of my comfort zone to do something I enjoy and have fun at. I definitely recommend looking into this. The support system is huge and if nothing else you’ll gain some new friends and have fun creating something all your own!
Glad you’re lovin life in Wealthy Affiliate 🙂
First of all, I love the simplicity in the way that you explain things. You make it seem more manageable and understanding. I agree with the information provided in this piece, you need to have a functional system that is able to solve people’s needs instead of making them question even more if the journey is worth it. With so many scams out there l think that transparency in one’s business needs to be key for a successful end product. Most companies only care about the money and they forget that there are people on the other side in need of a service, platform, or something to help them achieve their goal. I’m glad this is a safe space for anyone looking to expand their knowledge, and with dedication, achieve financial freedom
Thanks for commenting Stephanie. Unfortunately most people that try and build something online fail, therefore I believe it’s important to promote companies that have a safe way for people to test the water.
These do a good job of it.
Wow, you have certainly provided a vast array of affiliate marketing opportunities. The make money online industry can be very lucrative, although very competitive too.
The best part about most of these plans is the recurring income you can generate with repeat sales, so you don’t have to continually find customers for once off sales. I think the better the training and tools that the company offers, the longer your referrals are going to stay, so it is always a good idea to do your research before deciding which one will suit your needs best.
Thanks Michel. Here are my favorite programs for both earning and learning.
Thank you for writing this article. It helps people who want to earn money online and shows the importance of building a list of prospects. If I may ask just one thing, are there any specific methods to attract these kinds of leads you mentioned? Kindly elaborate for this 🙂 Thank you!
Hi Sugiya, my preference is search engine pay per click advertising, because it’s fast, very targeted, and done right profitable. Here’s my traffic page which explains more.
Thank you for providing a choice of alternative income which we all need these days. I noticed one of your payments has the Morrison name is that the entrepreneur Anthony Morrison? I’m not too keen on him from personal experience but your link took me to the four percent group which does offer a free option which I think is great as it allows you time to decide whether you like the company or not.
Hi Ruth, yes Anthony Morrison has a software product called Webinar Fuel which is really good if companies want to run auto webinars – Clickfunnels and Four Percent use it. I get paid on it as it’s one of Four Percents additional income streams MSI’s as they call them (one of the stand out features of the Four Percent VIP partner program).
My preference is to promote proven training memberships that offer a free level so people can test without risk.
I have been trying at affiliate marketing for over a year now with limited success.
The idea of recurring income from sales has always attracted me but my key question is where to find such offers and get approved by the companies as I have applied for several with no luck .I will check out the ultimate affiliate programs .Thank you for the info and I really love the layout of your article
Hi Daniel, all the offersI share here, are in the make money online niche.
The‘Ultimate’ level offer I refer to here is a paid higher ticket offer, which may be of interest just to see all the affiliate benefits that can be offered …lifetime affiliate commissions across ALL products is always a good place to start.
