Making A Living With An Affiliate Program

Making a living being an affiliate of other companies is not easy. Hey, I'm not there yet. I am getting there, slowly. But I haven't been able to quit my day job... and even though I'm making a little more every week, I'm still a fair way off replacing my whole salary with the passive income from my websites.

Part of the problem is the way most affiliate programs work, for the affiliate. I get these companies new customers, that they can keep for years, but they only pay me once. They can up-sell this customer (i.e., sell them a more expensive product in a couple of months time), but I don't see any of that money. They can cross-sell to that customer (i.e., sell him or her a related, but different product), but I don't see any of that money, either. And if they're selling a service where the customer has to renew, say, every month or every year, I don't see any of that money.

So all this means that I have to work very hard to constantly get new customers to my companies, whereas they can make a lot of money from every one.

...But it seems this is all about to change. Thanks to Jay Abraham.

If you don't know of Jay Abraham, well, you should. He's one of the big big guys of business building and direct marketing, which is the form of marketing we do (or at least should do) when we're marketing (as affiliates or otherwise) on the net.

Jay's started his own affiliate program (at the bottom of the page). But he is not joking around like most other businesses (there are a couple of other exceptions as well, but we can talk about them later). And he's doing three things very differently:

1) You'll get recurrent commisions -- that is, after someone signs up through your affiliate link, they pay Jay $300 every month, and every month, you get about $100 off of that.

2) If Jay cross-sells or up-sells his customers, you get commision from that as well

3) And this is probably the most valuable point: as his partner, he will train you. Now this is stuff that people pay hundreds and thousands of dollars for. And you get it for being his affiliate, or partner.

Doing stuff differently, he wont just allow everyone into the program. You actually have to apply, by answering more than 30 questions.

I applied a couple of days ago, and was approved the following day. If you want to let Jay Abraham help you build your business, you can apply for the program here -- at the bottom of the page, where it says'Click Here to Earn a Great Income as One of Jay's "Partner in Profits"'

I have to tell you -- I am excited!

Love,
