#545 APn: How Amazon associates can stop losing sales

Associate Programs Newsletter #545 Feb. 5, 2013.

If you belong to the Amazon associates program, you need to know
this...

You're probably losing out on a lot of sales because you're
sending visitors to the wrong store.

Fortunately, there's now an easy way to solve that problem...

(iTunes and eBay affiliates could use this, too.)

An affiliate who refused to quit
================================

Cameron Diamond has created a string of affiliate websites in a
tough niche.

He learned the hard way that in affiliate marketing, riches often
don't come quickly. However, he persevered and now earns a useful
full-time income.

Whether or not you like the niches he's chosen (I don't) you can
learn from an affiliate who didn't let setbacks stop him from
creating a full-time career in affiliate marketing.

Here's Kate Buckland's interview...

Hole in heart surgery
=====================

Affiliate coach John Gibb's baby boy, Kai, has just had surgery
to repair a hole in his heart.

"He is in recovery now (intensive care), so fingers crossed for
the little man," John told me today.

I hope that goes well.

John is one of the hardest working affiliates I know, capable of
a prodigious output of articles and new websites. He thoroughly
deserves all his success.

Lately, he's been planning a huge revamp of his Healthy Wealthy
Affiliate (HWA) site, turning it into a free resource for
affiliates.

He's churning out no-BS advice, based on his decade of experience
in affiliate marketing. Why would he do that? The site will pre-
sell his exclusive, one-to-one coaching.

Launch date for the revamped HWA is a couple of months away, but
you can already get a taste of the sort of no-nonsense advice
John provides here...

(I particularly like John's cunning idea for what he calls
"reversal pre-selling".)


==============
Personal stuff
==============

Joanna keeps telling me I should write some personal stuff,
telling you what I've been doing. In the next newsletter I'll
tell you about a 5-year personal project we've been working on.

In the meantime, remember those big plans you had to make 2013
your best year yet? I hope you're doing well.

Here are some affiliates who ARE doing well...
