Do Your Visitors Trust You?
How do you choose the products you buy? Do you simply accept as gospel truth all the good things a merchant says about their own product? Or, do you ask your friends’ opinions and look for independent product reviews before opening your wallet?
If you’re a savvy consumer (which of course you are), then you put more stock in your friends’ opinions and independent product reviews.
As affiliate marketers, we become much more successful when we approach our site visitors as friends and take the attitude that they too are savvy consumers.
From that standpoint, an affiliate’s real work is to pre-sell our merchant partners’ products by writing fair and balanced product reviews, also known as endorsement letters.
In this issue of the NPT, I show you how to easily write ‘friendly’ product reviews.

Affiliates: Turn up the Volume on Your Sales with MUSIC Programs
Today’s NPT newsletter focuses on how to monetize your site fully… adding products and programs which your customers may want, but have so far escaped your notice.
Music, surprisingly, is something few affiliates add to their sites, yet it works with SO many categories.
To learn how to add music to your gardening, dating or other site, please visit Affiliates: Turn up the Volume on Your Sales with MUSIC Programs

Affiliate Summit 2005
Please drop me a line if you’ll be attending the Affiliate Summit 2005 being held in Vegas, June 13th and 14th. I’ll be there too, as a member of the “What Affiliates Want” panel discussion.
I’m gonna be like a kid in a candy store.
My list of affiliate ‘wants’ is as long as my arm… and the ‘powers that be’ affiliate managers will be at the Summit. Yee-ha!
Here are just a few items on that list…
Let’s start with clean, well-categorized datafeeds, shall we?
How about on-going fresh creative that includes direct email ads, product reviews and customer testimonials WITH affiliate links embedded?
Most of all… how about some responsiveness? I won’t say which major network this was (it wasn’t CJ), but it took them more than a week to respond to one simple email query, and then they still didn’t answer my question. Gee, and they wonder why I don’t/won’t promote their merchants.
Sheesh.
What about you? What are your biggest beefs and bugaboos with affiliate programs?
Let me know and I’ll do my best to get your message out to the appropriate people.

Screen Cam Generator
I was dismayed this week to see that Armand Morin released his latest product, Screen Cam Generator, about which my friend, multi-media expert Jim Edwards, is all agog.

Cooking up Success in Your Internet Business
Did you know that inaction is the primary reason most folks never realize their dreams?
They buy a how-to book or attend a conference and then don’t do anything with the information.
That’s not the case with most of the people at Ken McCarthy’s ‘System Seminar’ held last weekend in Chicago, however. TEN of the fifteen speakers at Ken’s events are actually System graduates.
So, WHY do some act on their dreams while others do not?

Report from the Underground
I apologize for putting out this week’s NPT a little later than usual.
Unlike Phil Wiley (Mini Site Profits) who finally found his room and the fortitude to write his newsletter after spending 6 hours in the Hotel Washington rooftop bar on Wednesday night, I could barely function well enough to pack my bags after only 3 hours sleep. There’s that excuse, plus the fact that I really wanted to sleepwalk through the Museum of American History and see Dorothy’s ruby shoes before flying back to Toronto on Sunday.
OK, my priorities are a little out of whack this week - justifiable after 3 mind-blowing days at Yanik’s ‘Underground Seminar’.
That was the best internet marketing seminar I’ve ever attended.
What happened? Read my report about the Underground Seminar….
