Wanna Start a Successful Affiliate Marketing Business and Earn Residual Income For the Rest of Your Life?

by Ryan Hough

Before starting an affiliate marketing business wouldn't you want to know about the best affiliate programs? And wouldn't you want to know about other people's affiliate marketing success stories?

In the article below, I describe a top affiliate program and explain why it is one of the best. I'll let Rupert Farrow (a successful affiliate marketer) and Ken Evoy (a successful affiliate program owner) show you how to generate your own profitable affiliate marketing business ideas.

Dr Ken Evoy started sitesell.com in 1998. Sitesell's main product is called Site Build It, which combines website hosting, site-building and search engine optimisation.

It's fair to say that Evoy's e commerce affiliate program is one of the best on the Internet. His 5 Pillar Affiliate Program was one of the first to offer life time commissions on all products sold, which attracted thousands of new affiliates.

In addition, a complex tracking system is used by sitesell to award sales to affiliates. Unlike many affiliate programs, including www.clickbank.com your visitors will not be able to click through your affiliate link and sign up as an affiliate themselves, which would mean you would lose the commission.

Conversion rate is a percentage affiliate marketers calculate by dividing the number of people that have bought a product by the amount of people who clicked on the affiliate link. 1% is recognised as the industry average.

Evoy analysed his best affiliates and found that his best affiliates were performing way above the industry average. He wrote a course called the Affiliate Masters Course, which describes how his best affiliates are able to perform way above the industry average.

Alan Gardyne (www.associateprograms.com) was one of the first marketers to recognise the growth potential of the affiliate marketing industry. His newsletter is read by 25,000 affiliates.

Alan Gardyne hired an assistant (Rupert Farrow) to test Site Built It and prove whether it works.

With no experience Rupert built http://www.dj-tips-and-tricks.com and www.cheap-computers-guide.com.

The results speak for themselves. 4 months after starting his cheap computer guide website, his site was receiving 14,064 visitors per month from the search engines. And 12 months after he started his site had earned $5,690.58 in commissions.

To conclude, if you're thinking of making money with affiliate programs you'll learn a great deal by studying Ken Evoy's affiliate marketing course. His advice, based on years of research studying his best affiliates will teach you how to increase conversion rates and find the best affiliate programs.

If you're looking for an affiliate program that offers lifetime residual income you should check out the 5 Pillar Club.

And if you'd like to learn from a successful affiliate, you should read Rupert's affiliate marketing case study.
