Wow lots of buzz over Affiliate Silver Bullet the last couple of days. There is good reason for that too.
What the site basicly is, is a simple point and click affiliate marketing system, on steroids.

What makes it so powerfull and so simple to use is what they call the “Silver Bullets“.

These Silver Bullets are full marketing campains for some the best converting, best paying clickbank products that are going to be hard coded to you so you can profit from them for a long, long time.

When you log in you will have two options for each bullet. You can either let them host it for you, or you can host it yourself.

I’ll go over both ways but if you are newer and don’t have your own domain, hosting, or aweber account then letting them host  it for you is the easiest and fastest way to get going.

Once you have a little bit of experience, and have some income comming in you should get the above mentioned things and start hosting them yourself, since it gives you more control and puts
people on to your own personal list.

For now though lets take a look at the first option.  If you let them host for you all you have to do is grab one of the two links they provide you. They are both for basically the same page, which is a professionally designed video squeeze page like this one.

The big difference is one has an auto playing video on it and the other has the video on it that doesn’t play unless some one clicks the play button. This is useful if you are promoting using Adwords or any other source that does not allow auto playing video. There’s also a bit of keyword relevant text on these pages too if you do want to use Adwords.

Now all you have to do is grab the provided promo tools and send traffic to your squeeze pages. Don’t worry, even if you have never gotten one vistior to any site before they have you covered. THere is an extensive amount of traffic training inside the members area as well.

This is where the magic happens, once some one fills out the opt in form on your squeeze page they will be taken directly to the sales page of a high converting clickbank product. They will then start receiving an e-zine that tells them more about the product. That sales page and all the follow up emails have your clickbank id hard coded in them, so no matter when they buy it , you will get the commissions.

Like I said simple and easy.

Now if you are ready to build your own list they have made it easy for you too. They give you a campain sharing code so you can import that same e-zine to your own aweber account. You then plug in your list name and download your silver bullet file. It will have a folder to upload to your server and a set of insructions that covers any questions you may have.

Its that easy to have your own hosted professional video squeeze pages up and running and building your list while earning you a handsome clickbank income. If you want you can view a private webinar that Soren from Affiliate Silver Bullet did that shows you exactly how it works by going here!

One of the easiest and fastest way to make money online in through affiliate marketing. This is when you send visitors to someone else’s product sales page, they make the sale and deliver the product, and you get a percentage of the sale price as you commission (usually 50% or more for digital products).

The benefits of this are

1. You can get started almost immediately because you don’t have to create a product, write the sales page, design the website, develop marketing materials, or set up the ordering, billing & delivery system.
2. You have almost no investment of time because you don’t have to do the customer support or deal with billing or technical issues.
3. You have nearly zero risk because you already know the product sells. So if you send visitors you will get paid.

Looking at these benefits, it’s clear that affiliate marketing is the way to go!

The downside is…

After all your hard work of generating traffic to the sales page, you will never see any of those visitors again. Most of them will not buy on their first visit, which means you’re losing over 90% of the traffic right off the top. And of the 10% or less that do buy, the product owner will be able to sell to them again, but you will not.

What’s the solution?

Simply put, you need to capture the name and email of your visitors *before* sending them to the product sales page. This way you can follow up with them and keep sending them back to the sales page to increase your chances of making the sale. And if you’re really on top of your game, you’ll then send to a pre-sales page in between.

Here’s what these affiliate marketing strategies will do for you:

1. You’ll be building your own list of potential customers that you can market to again and again.
2. You’ll be pre-selling them by providing valuable information and then casually linking to the product sales page in the context of this information.

In order to set a system like this up, you will need the following affiliate marketing tools:

1. A Video Squeeze Page (with video)
2. One or more content-rich Pre-Selling Pages
3. At least a 5-Part Email Followup Series

The video squeeze page is where you’ll direct your traffic instead of directly to the product sales page. It captures the name and email of your visitors and puts them into your autoresponder, which then begins sending out the 5-part email series. Then it redirects them to your pre-selling pages after they subscribe to your email series.

All of this together increases your chances of making the sale by up to 500% so it’s well worth the effort of setting it up. And once it’s set up, it runs automatically – you just keep sending visitors to the squeeze page.

If you don’t have the time or expertise to set it all up yourself, you can use something like Affiliate Silver Bullet. Services like this design the enter system (the video, the video squeeze page, the email series, the content pages, etc). The benefit is that it’s much less expensive then you could do it yourself, and it’s instantly set up. The downside is that other people will be using the same affiliate tools as you. But the internet is pretty big, so this isn’t much of a concern.

The other route you can take is to hire people on Elance to create and implement the various aspects for you. Either way, it’s an important step that you need to take if you’re going to be serious about your business.

I have written before about integration marketing , but today I wanted to show you one of the best examples I have seen recently.

Soren Jordanson and the rest of the super surf exchanges are now integrated with Jeff Dedrick’s Viral Ebook Explosion.

To see what I am talking about take a look at this page. There are also ones for the other super surf sites that are available to the Viral Ebook Explosion members.

In case you don’t see what is happening here let me explain. Jeff Dedrick wants new members to his site, so he wants to provide good affiliate tools.

Soren and others want fresh new members joining their exchanges.

So by providing some great exchange specific splash pages like the above they have completed both tasks.

Jeff has some affiliate tools that he can give to his members, and the super surf team have new members coming in from Jeff’s site.

Whats even better though is that these new members are being introduced to good exchanges and provided with good tools, so guess what? They are going to get results and are going to tell others that they have been getting results using traffic exchanges. They are also going to say they are getting results promoting Jeff’s site.

So its good for Jeff and his site, and its great for the traffic exchanges involved and traffic exchanges as a whole.

Once other marketers see how well this is working out for Jeff, don’t you think they might want to do something similar?

So my hats off to Mr. Dedrick, Soren and team for this great lesson on how to effectively use integration marketing.

If you read a lot of marketing forums you will see that there are plenty of people that don’t beleive in the power of using Traffic Exchanges. I myself know better and even wrote a book about how to use them effectivly.

Another form of traffic generation that is also dismissed by many is safelists. I can see why they have been given a bad name, with all of the auto-submitters and email box cleaners ect..

But to group all safelists together is like saying there is no difference between a auoto and manual traffic exchange.

It is compairing apples and oranges.

You see with safelists you have two options, there is the regular old ones, and there are credit based ones. THe credit based ones work similar to a manual traffic exchange and they do work.

My Freind Soren Jordanson, wrote a book about how to effectivly use safelists about a year ago. It was taken off the shelf for a little while but after such a continue demand for it it has been updated and re-released.

I consider this book to be much like 13deadly TE Tragedies, except for it gives you the details on how to get better results from safelists.

If you are using one you should be using both becuase the traffic you can generate from safelists and traffic exchanges together is exactly what you need to get your business started or boost your current business to the next level.

Be sure to check out Sorens book for ways you can improve your converions using safelists.
