August 26th, 2006: 4 New Reprintable Articles added and Affiliate Training Center Launched
For the first two week pay period in August, one of our top super affiliates did $8,470.85 in sales. But that's not the impressive part. This is: These sales did NOT come from a spike from an email promotion! This was business as usual from regular website marketing! In case you're curious, that breaks down to 58 deluxe versions at $59.95 ($3477.10) and 125 basic versions at $39.95 each ($4993.75)... total = $8,470.85
Of course, I can't guarantee you will do the same. These types of sales numbers are not typical. These are Super affiliate sales numbers, achieved by an affiliate who works extremely hard every day at adding content and building a search engine friendly website with tremendous visitor value to keep people coming back.
This super affiliate has published nearly every article I have provided so far, he has a review page up as well (an original review which he wrote), and he also writes his own content and includes articles of other authors so there is a nice mix of content on his site - some syndicated, some original. New content has been added continuously to give visitors a reason to come back.
This super-affiliate's website has been very well niched to one particular segment of the fitness industry, and does not try to be all things to all people.
The sales this super affiliate has achieved are the product of treating clickbank affiliate marketing as a REAL business, every single day, and not just dabbling, putting up a 3 or 4 page site and then forgetting about it, or "trying it" for a few weeks and saying, "Oh, this doesn't work."
In fact, several years of work went into the development of this site. It went on line in 2002 and has steadily grown nonstop ever since then. Today the alexa ranking of this site is around 17,000
Not surprisingly, after a little "snooping around" I saw that this affiliate had TONS of inbound links pointing at his site. 29,100 according to Google alone.
Could you build a site like this? Could you get this kind of traffic? Could you do these types of sales numbers? I don't know. I have no idea how hard you are willing to work at it, but this example DOES prove what is possible with time, effort and a good marketing plan. Let's add it up:
These are the dog days of august when things are sometimes a little slow, but if things stay at this level, for this super affiliate, that's $16,941,70 a month in sales, over 12 months, that's $203,304.04!!!! Gross sales like these make for some pretty decent commission checks wouldn't you say?
Again, I cannot guarantee you are going to do the same, but what I will promise you is that in the weeks and months to come, I will teach you everything I know about how you can make more money as a Burn The Fat affiliate through clickbank.
How? We just launched our "AFFILIATE TRAINING CENTER." I've uploaded the first few lessons for you, and will be adding more shortly. Future lessons will include information on writing reviews, using google ad words, using syndicated articles for maximum effect, using email, using viral reports and building your own website.
Here are the first few affiliate training lessons:
How To Hide ("Cloak") Your Affiliate Links And Make More Sales Like The Super Affiliates
Keyword Tips, Tricks And Resources For Clickbank Affiliate Marketers
What Affiliates Need To Know About Clickbank Cookies And Follow up
You will also find the newest reprintable articles listed below and you have permission to republish any or all of these in your newsletter or ezine and or on your website, blog or forum, whichever may apply to you.
If you've been using ad words and you're not getting the conversions you want, consider doing more preselling with articles on your own website. If you don't have your own website yet, get going! With Google being as quirky as they've been lately, it pays for affiliates to have their own websites with landing pages and good quality content - a mix of original content and syndicated content such as what I provide here through the Burn The Fat affiliate program.
Okay, here's what's new

August 6th, 2006: New Reprintable Articles, Promotional article added
Today is my birthday, so to celebrate, I've posted a bunch of new reprintable articles for you... Then I'm going to log off and go enjoy a Big Fat CHEAT MEAL! A few giant slices of pizza.... a huge plate of lasagna... maybe a stromboli... haven't had one of those in a while...
Yes, that's right! The Burn The Fat lifestyle allows cheat meals.. and I'm ITALIAN! See "Diet compliance versus Cheating article here - and you can even reprint this on your website or in your newsletter, too: http://burnthefat.com/affiliate_area/diet_compliance.html
You will find the newest reprintable articles listed below and you have permission to republish any or all of these in your newsletter or ezine and or on your website, blog or forum, whichever may apply to you. There's a lot more where these came from.
That reminds me - thank you for your patience. I have been promising more content for a long time and it's been busy over here and slow going getting all the material uploaded to the site. When the reprintable article archives are finished, you will have over 100 articles and 100 Q & A columns to choose from!
I don't know about you, but I find those article directory sites contain a ton of poorly written articles. You have to search through 99 lousy ones to find just one good one that you would feel confident about publishing on your site. What are these "writers" thinking? Other ebook authors read some article on "article marketing" and so they hire a ghostwriter to create a couple dozen worthless articles that do nothing but take up perfectly good space on the internet.
Anyway, I am not just a product owner, I am also an affiliate just like you. I sell many of other people's products, so I understand - from being in your shoes - that you NEED good content and good content is hard to find! Well, look no further...
My goal and promise to you is that you will soon have literally hundreds of articles available to reprint, and you won't have to spend hours searching through the article directory sites to find them. You will be able to get them all here in the Burn The Fat Affiliate area.
Best part: Not only will this content be A+ quality, much of it will also be designed specifically to be promotional in nature, without any "blatant" selling. Many of the articles were written to inform and "softly promote" (Burn The Fat) at the same time.
This will be more likely to get a click through to BurnTheFat.com when the reader finishes the article, so publishing these articles can help you increase your sales while providing valuable content for your visitors at the same time. Remember, "pre-selling" with content and reviews on your own site can increase your click thrus and your conversions.
If you've been using ad words and you're not getting the conversions you want, consider doing more preselling with articles. With Google being as quirky as they've been lately, it pays for affiliates to have their own websites with landing pages with good content.

PSI do my absolute best to answer all my emails. In the event you may have sent me an email and not received a response, please accept my apology and please resend your message. Some months I get as many as 30,000 emails. I have two virtual assistants and a great webmaster, but after that, I'm a one man show. I don't have an affiliate manager (I AM the affiliate manager), so it's sometimes hard to keep up with it all. Rest assured though, your emails are important to me. To bypass my customer service staff and reach me directly send mail to: tomvenutoNOSPAM@mindspring.com. Be sure to remove the nospam part. I put that in there so my address doesnt get scraped off the webpage by those stupid email-harvesting bots.
