Making Money with Affiliate Funnel

Making money with Affiliate Funnel is something I have not fully explored YET, however, it is something I really would like to concentrate on very soon. First let me say that I DO USE traffic exchanges. I actually am a member of at least a dozen of them, but the problem is is that I am not utilizing the full potential of this rather significant marketing tool because I am not developing a list. The online business motto appears to be, "The money is in the list", and I am really doing more harm than good to myself by not getting this done.

What I see a lot on the traffic exchanges are people promoting affiliate links for all kinds of programs and products. I don't mind seeing this because it gives me an opportunity to view new businesses. However, the real winner here is not the affiliate but the owner of the promoted program or product because what this affiliate is doing is boosting the owner's website exposure; not their own. Also, when you use affiliate links, more times than not there is an area in the website where people can leave their name and mailing address if they want more information. What is wrong with this? Absolutely nothing if you want to build somebody else's list because that is what the affiliate is doing; the affiliate is building the program owner's list, not their own. Big mistake!



So why do people do this . . because it is easy. It does not take much effort to copy and paste an affiliate URL into a rotator. I am guilty of this as well in the past but have learned to only utilize affiliate URLs that have a pay-per-lead compensation program. For example, I posted previously about the Project Payday program and how you can make money with it by buying and selling greens, BUT you can also make money by promoting Project Payday because Project Payday is going to pay you $1.50 for every single person that submits their name and mailing address to their program. This is a free to join program, so you don't have to buy anything and Project Payday is happy because they are rewarding you for building their list for them. This is a win-win situation, but this is not always the case if you are not utilizing the traffic exchanges properly.

In my quest to find the most information on building a list, I came across many, many programs and services and read many reviews and postings, and without a doubt if you want to learn how to build an effective list with like-minded people there is no where else to go but to Affiliate Funnel. This website is literally packed with so much information that you can get lost in it. It is an awesome place to learn. You will learn about branding, traffic exchanges, autoresponders, squeeze pages, splash pages, etc.; it is endless. They also have a forum, which is also totally awesome.

This program is going to help boost your promotions BUT will not try to run your business. They show you how to generate traffic to the program of your choice not their's. You will no longer be stuck helping an owner build their business and will be able to promote your's. Their slogan of "Build your business, not somebody else's" is right on because that is what they are going to teach you to do.

If you have not started building a list yet or don't know how to do it and are serious about your online business, you are going to be making money with the Affiliate Funnel program. Invest in yourself and your business and take the time to learn. I know I most certainly am.
