Amazing Formula FAQ

Marlon, what is the main purpose of The Amazing
Formula?

It's a slam dunk education in marketing. It's a real
eye opener for many people.

If you read through our over 100 pages of testimonials
(we're adding more all the time), you'll see what
people say. It has taken many people from not having a
clue about marketing to being totally wired.

I teach all about lead generation, front end, back end,
upsells, associate programs, traffic, conversion
percentages. So many things. And honestly, even with
the proliferation of Internet marketing products, I can
still say it's the only course that covers many of
these topics.

Every single bullet in the sales letter is covered in
the product. How many products can you say that about?

The Amazing Formula that Sells Products Like Crazy

Reviewed by Robert G. Gardner, Ph.D

Sure, you should know better, but how many times have you been a victim of the “too good to be true” syndrome? I know I’m not the Lone Ranger when I’m on the receiving end of those “Secrets of Getting Rich on the Internet!” e-mails that line up in my inbox. They show up almost every day, with screaming subject lines that are rich with promise: “Absolutely Guaranteed!” “Surefire Success with Internet Marketing!” “Easy Money through Web Selling!” And on and on.

Sometimes I blow these messages away instantly, without even thinking about it. Other times my curiosity (or boredom) gets the better of me and I open the file, follow the links, and spend a few minutes reading the hype. Then I go away disappointed. Lots of sizzle, but I’ll have to pay a lot more if I want to taste the steak. If it’s there at all! I’ve quickly reached the point where I don’t know who to trust or what to believe. “If it looks too good to be true,” we’re told over and over again, “it probably is.” Sound familiar?

The Most Cost-effective Traffic Generation Tactic


The Most Cost-effective Traffic Generation Tactic

By: Larry Lim

Targeted traffic is the life-blood of any online business, without which, any online business will eventually go to the wall. Generating targeted traffic to their websites is also one of the greatest nightmares of any online business owners.

There're a myriad of tactics that online business owners can employ to drive targeted traffic to their websites, but the most cost-effective one is undeniably that of "building an army of affiliates".

This can be achieved by implementing what's called an affiliate program. An affiliate program is undoubtedly the best way to increase website exposure, sales and profits.

For business owners, if you sell products that have a medium-to-high profit margin via the internet, you'll be much more profitable and successful if you start implementing an in-house, two-tier affiliate program for reasons which I'll delineate in a moment.

Affiliate Program Defined

What's an affiliate program?

An affiliate program is a marketing initiative, a sort of performance-based advertising, whereby the affiliate promotes the merchant's products/services, and in return and depending on the type of program, the affiliate receives a commission from, or shares revenue with the merchant for delivering sales, leads or traffic to the merchant's websites. The affiliate can be paid a flat fee or a percentage of the transaction.

It's a mutually beneficial business relationship, and is also commonly termed as associate, reseller, referral, or partner program. A case in point is Amazon.com which is amongst the first to launch an affiliate program on the internet.

How Does An Affiliate Program Work?

In a typical affiliate program, affiliates normally promote the merchant's products/services by placing graphic links, text links and/or banners from their websites. They also advertise in ezines, send endorsement letters to their list of opt-in subscribers and customers via emails and/or autoresponders to drive traffic to the merchant's websites.

The merchant leads the referred visitors through the selling process, closes the sale, processes the payment, fulfills the order and handles all customer service issues. The merchant also tracks the affiliates who send him the traffic via an affiliate software. If a sale is closed, the merchant calculates and pays the commission to the affiliates as agreed.

Types of Affiliate Program

Affiliate programs can be broadly categorized into various types as delineated below, and they can be either single-tier or two-tiers.

You can also either implement and manage the affiliate program yourself or outsource it to third party managers such as Commission Junction, LinkShare, etc. My suggestion is that you run your own affiliate program in-house as it is more cost-effective and profitable to you in the long run. By running your affiliate program in-house, you'll do away with the start-up costs and percentage of revenue to be paid to third party affiliate program managers.

One of the most fatal mistakes is to try to master all these skills all at once. None of these skills are hard to learn one at a time, if taken all together it can be quite frustrating.

Earning Extra Income With Affiliate Marketing – Having Your Cake and Eating it Too!

By Bill Schnarr

Affiliate marketing is the single fastest growth industry on the Internet. Yet
many people go into it without a solid recipe for success. Indeed, many look to
earn extra income with affiliate marketing with no real plan, and that can
severely hamper their efforts at becoming successful at it.

Make no mistake, although affiliate marketing can be an easy and fun way to earn
additional income, it is work, and just like any other job, requires effort, perseverance,
and above all, a clear line of sight from start to finish line.

Things like setting up your home office properly, getting some know-how, setting
realistic goals, making connections, and investing in your business will not only
ensure that you have a leg-up on your competition, but it will also ensure you are
firmly standing head and shoulders above them.

Looking for the ultimate get-rich- quick scheme.

Everyone on the Internet is looking for the ultimate get-rich- quick scheme.

At least that is what the people selling the ultimate get-rich-quick scheme would like you to believe.Which one is the 'ultimate'? Well, if you hear them tell it, theirs is, of course."Turn $5 into $50,000,000,000 in 30 days with no effort!"

Did Bill Gates figure out how to condense his lifetime into 30 days? I doubt that he would say he got where he is today with no effort.

Are you listening to these guys, or do you REALLY want to make money on the Internet? Becoming instantly rich on the Net is about the same as sitting around waiting for your lottery numbers to hit.

I like to believe that we're smarter than that. We realize that the only way to truly become successful at anything requires a lot of hard work, motivation, persistence, and luck.

investing time or money?


Are you investing time or money?

If you have plans for any level of success in this business you are going to have to invest either your time or your money into making it happen.

Really you need a fair amount of both, but you can make it with a strong dose of either one:

If you have more time on your hands than you have money to invest, be prepared for this process to take a lot longer than you're probably planning.

If you have money to invest in getting your site running, but don't have much free time, then you will need to focus your efforts on finding the best places
to spend that money.

All too often I get emails that basically say: "I'm working 12-14 hours a day at my full-time job just trying to make ends meet, so I don't have much free time
and I sure don't have any money...
