If you remove your ‘rose colored sunglasses’ its obvious millions of people believe the current state of the economy, political structure, and accepted ideologies is outdated.

Are you sick and tired of being sick and tired? Somehow you manage to ‘make it work’…
You know the feeling, when we’re alone, weeping in your acceptance of how challenging life can be, and just hoping when you raise your head and open your eyes, things will be different.
If you’re not weeping, wishing for a solution, there is a good chance you have moved on to non-acceptance and drowning yourself in self sabotaging addictions & habits.
Many times these addictions & habits provide you with Instant Gratification, a feeling of immediate happiness, which as we know, lasts for very short periods of time.
You fulfill your goal, and through this achievement experience a feeling of happiness.
Time and time again you will continue to serve your addictions due to lack of acceptance, and find excuses for not taking responsibility for everything that happens to you!

You want to be part of Affiliate Marketing, and make commissions for sharing products & services, right? Commissions is another word for money. Commissions = Money.
The money you earn in Affiliate Marketing is yours to keep.
If you know someone is going to buy something, or is thinking about buying something – tell them you’re going to make a small commission for sharing the product they’re going to buy.
People will either commit, tell you when they’re going to purchase, or say no thank you.
If you’re wondering how you can begin sharing products with strangers, hold that thought. In the next blog post, you will learn the specifics on sharing with people you don’t know.
A few of you will try sharing products with people you don’t know. People will know your true intention of getting money, and feel you’re invading their space.
Do it the right way. Share the product in a way that the person you are sharing with feels you’re helping, and supporting their best interest. Not just making affiliate commissions.
The products & services you share may be something someone you know recently mentioned they liked/wanted, or it may be something your customer is thinking about buying.
See below for 10 example niches/verticals you can share products in,
1. Business Opportunity
2. Coupons
3. Dating
4. Fitness & Health
5. Gaming

7. Mobile Apps

There are hundreds of other niches & verticals available to you. Remember earlier when you read about making making commissions for sharing products. Now you will learn how.
For example when starting out online you want a domain name. You can offer your social circle your affiliate link so they can buy it from you, and YOU make $10.00 in referral commission?
Or as an online marketer, you want to collect emails and to do that you need a email service provider like ‘Get Response.’ Provide your people with the best service out there, help them, and have them use your affiliate link and receive a stunning $95.00 in referral commission.
Last example could be you know some of your friends love to save money and are constantly looking for coupons, or they are single and looking for new places to find their loved one.
In both cases, you can provide them with your affiliate link to help them in their search.

As mentioned previously, thousand’s of advertisers around the world are looking for new leads and sales. Each advertiser offers their own unique commission type referral program.
In Affiliate Marketing we call these referral programs, Affiliate Programs.
When you become an ‘affiliate’ of an advertiser’s affiliate program, you act as the products/services sales team. You’re an affiliate of their business.
Each time you refer a lead or sale, you’re rewarded with a commission.
The amount of commission you earn for each lead or sale is unique to each advertiser.
Sale programs tend to have larger commissions, as the advertiser is making revenue immediately; whereas, lead & install programs need to be converted to sales.
See below for examples of Install, Lead, and Sale Programs,
- Install – Mobile Apps are popular Install affiliate programs. You can recommend a popular app, an app you play your friends, or an up and coming app you enjoy!
Example Install Offer
Commission: $0.80 / Install.
- Lead – You’re rewarded a commission for referring potential new customers, leads.
Coupon, Dating, Finance, Insurance, & Survey are popular niches for lead based affiliate programs. The person you refer supplies their contact information to advertiser.
Name, email, address, and phone are the main details required for lead based programs.
Example Lead Offer
Commission: $9.50 / Lead.
- Sale – Bizopp, Clothing, Health, & Shopping are the popular niches for sales based affiliate programs. You’re rewarded commissions when you refer someone to buy a product.
Online, customers use Credit Cards, and/or other accepted online payment methods to finalize purchases. The people you’re referring must have a credit card, or have access to one.
Example Sale Offer
Commission: $95.00 / Sale.
