I never realized how powerful an Affiliate Toolbox was until I started selling products for businesses that provided one.  If you've never utilized Affiliate tools before, you're in for a treat.  This is the key to making it easy for you to sell "The Profitable Business Owner" ebook series to your audience which might include:

Why am I making such a big deal out of this?  Because I'm about to provide you with lots of powerful tools you can use to promote "The Profitable Business Owner" ebook series.  I've spent a lot of time developing a quality product that I'm proud to sell, and I hope you will be too.

Selling something you believe in makes it easy.  If you haven't purchased "The Profitable Business Owner" for yourself, I'd encourage you to do so.  But even if you don't, you can still promote the ebook series to your audience to earn commissions.  Take advantage of the tools below - some will take you less than 5 minutes to implement with the opportunity to earn between $13.65-$47.25 on every sale you make.

If you haven't already done so, download some sample chapters, so you'll feel comfortable with exactly what you are promoting. And, remember, if you aren't comfortable with selling in general, I also provide you with some ways to earn commissions without selling.

Once you become an Affiliate, you can simply refer your readers, subscribers, or members to my web site (using your affiliate link) to pick up some free resources, including my free 5-part Email MiniCourse, "The 10 Biggest Mistakes Business Owners Make & How To Avoid Them" or my free Sample Chapter selection downloads.

Once they access either of these documents (providing me with their email address), they are forever more affiliated with you.  That means, any future sales are your affiliate sales, and you earn commissions on them.

And, remember, you don't just earn a commission if your referral buys on the day they first visit. You'll earn a commission even if they buy "The Profitable Business Owner" a year from now!  My affiliate tracking software attaches your affiliate code to every person that comes to my web site through your link(s).  You get credit for any sale that I make to those people forever.

Plus, I have eight (8) more products in development for launch every month from now through September.  You will be able to earn commissions on all of those products as well, by being an Ask The Biz Coach, LLC affiliate (my company).

When you want to know how much money you're earning as you experiment with the various affiliate tools, you just log-in to the Affiliate Page to check your referral and commission stats.

Text Links

One of the easiest ways to refer people to "The Profitable Business Owner" ebook series is through a direct text link that has your affiliate code in it.  You received your affiliate code when you signed up.  It looks something like this (with your affiliate code substituted for the "xxxxx"):

How to Use Text Links:

• put it on your web site as a featured link or recommended resource
• add it to your signature file at the end of every email you send (details below)

Powerful headlines pull people in every time!  You can use the following headlines or write your own:

HEADLINE:  "In Only 1 Week, You Can Create Your Own Success System Guaranteed to Transform Your Company Into a Profit-Making and Fulfilling Business"

HEADLINE:  "Stop Running Your Business by the Seat of Your Pants!"
SUBHEAD:  "I'll Give You a Step-by-Step System for Starting & Running a Successful Professional Services Business!"

HEADLINE:  "Tired of Learning Everything the Hard Way?"
SUBHEAD:  "Just Follow This Step-by-Step Roadmap to Leap-Frog Over Your Learning Curve"

How To Use Headlines:

Text Links:  A great way to use your text link is with a Headline on your site (see below).  Text links have been proven to be much more effective than banner ads.  Put them in a prominent place on your web site for maximum exposure and effectiveness.  To create a text link with a Headline, simply cut-and-paste the following in your HTML:

<a href="http://www.1shoppingcart.com/app/aftrack.asp?AFID=xxxxx">INSERT HEADLINE</a>

• Make sure you substitute your unique Affiliate Code for the "xxxxx" and that you insert whatever Headline you want to use in place of the words "INSERT HEADLINE".

• Remember, you can use several different headline links on your web site at the same time in order to hit prospects' different hot buttons.

Ezine ads are an excellent way to generate commissions for yourself.  Simply identify ezines that accept ads and target business owners or some segment of business owners (coaches, writers, designers, accountants, etc.).  Place a paid ad in those ezines using your unique affiliate text link.  Interested buyers will be directed to The Profitable Business Owner web site and you'll rake in the commissions.

Ezine ads are a cheap promotional tool and provide you with a potentially lucrative money stream.  You can also use these ads in the classified section of print magazines, trade journals, and newspapers.

One of the best and fastest ways to create an immediate cash flow is to send an endorsement email to your "opt-in" email list.  These are people who have subscribed to your ezine, agreed to receive updates from you, or have otherwise given you permission to email them (this is not considered spam).

Any affiliate who uses spam-like techniques to send an email to
thousands of people who did not request or agree to receive
information from them will be terminated from the program
immediately and no commissions will be paid.

If you have a mailing list, subscriber base, member base, or customer/client list, you can promote The Profitable Business Owner by sending out an Endorsement Email.  This is when you send an email to your list endorsing The Profitable Business Owner and encouraging them to check it out.

Endorsement emails are so effective because you are mailing to a group of people who already trusts you.  You don't have to say the product is the "best thing since sliced bread."  You just have to say that it sounds like something some of them could benefit from.

And you can do this within 5 minutes because I've already written the email for you.  You don't have to struggle with finding the right words to tell them why The Profitable Business Owner would benefit them.  I've already written it for you!  If you want to personalize what I've written so that it speaks to the people on your list, feel free!

IMPORTANT!
Make sure to put your affiliate code in place of the "xxxxx" in the link.

Graphics are eye-catching, so you may consider using them to promote The Profitable Business Owner.  Simply choose one of the graphics below to put on your web site.  You'll then set it up so when someone clicks on it, it uses your affiliate link to send them to The Profitable Business Owner web site.

STEP 1:  Save the graphic you want to use by positioning your mouse over the graphic and right-clicking.  Select "Save Image As" or "Save Picture As".  Name the graphic and save it to your computer.

STEP 2:  Add a link to your graphic by using the following code (be sure to substitute your affiliate ID for the "xxxxx" and your file name where it says "yourgraphic.gif")

<a href="http://www.1shoppingcart.com/app/aftrack.asp?AFID=xxxxx">
<img src="yourgraphic.gif" border=0></a>

Best Wishes for Continued Success!
