Starting an online business in affiliate marketing is much less complicated these days, thanks in large part to the new ‘done-for-you’ style of affiliate marketing resources available. One of the first innovations was brandable e-books, viral tools that let affiliates add their links to e-books written to promote a merchant’s product. And while that still required specific skills both to brand them and then market them, the innovative Viral E-Book Explosion site from Jeff Dedrick automated most of the process and started offering free brandable e-books to any affiliate that wants to use them.

The concept behind free brandable e-books is simple yet powerful – after branding the e-books with your affiliate links you give away as many copies as possible to targeted prospects with the hope that a reasonable percentage of them will then click through to the merchant’s site. If they then purchase the product in question you’ll make an affiliate commission, thanks in large part to that free e-book download you offered.

It didn’t take affiliates long to realize these free e-books were perfect enticements to use in the list-building giveaways. The concept behind these events is simple – a number of marketers all promote a page that links to a free download from each of the event’s partners. Visitors to the site choose the gifts they want to download and click through to each site in turn. After opting in to that marketer’s e-mail list they get to download the information for free – and by providing that information via a branded e-book, the partner is now able to earn commissions from his or her list-building activities.

These systems became known as ‘Squeeze pages’ – now a generic online marketing term for any group of pages designed to offer a free download to prospects who offer up their e-mail address in exchange for said free enticement. But still, you needed to know enough HTML to build those pages, usually consisting of a signup page, a confirmation page where the prospect is informed they must click a link in a confirmation e-mail to ensure the e-mail address given is legitimate, and then ultimately the download page itself.

Again, it didn’t take long for merchants to start supplying this whole system to their affiliates, once again automating the process and making it even more newbie-friendly. Then the next major step in the affiliate marketing evolution came fromCindy Battye & Soren Jordansen when they released their ClickBank Pirate service.

ClickBank Pirate took this system to a much higher level by offering their members squeeze page systems complete with hosting and followup e-courses. The service chooses a product from ClickBank and writes a free report based on the same area of interest, creates a video squeeze page to offer it from and then follows up with an automated e-course designed to sell those prospects the ClickBank product via the member’s affiliate link. The free report, squeeze pages and autoresponders are all set up and hosted by CB Pirate, leaving the member affiliate to just drive targeted traffic to each month’s new squeeze page.

And then just this week Cindy & Soren released a new service that takes this all one step further up the affiliate marketing ladder with their new Affiliate Silver Bullets. The ASB system is very similar to CB Pirate except that it allows more advanced affiliate marketers to download and host the entire squeeze/autoresponder system on their own sites at Hosting4Marketers.com or any other online hosting company that also includes autoresponders in their user accounts.

As a result, the affiliate has control of the opt-in list each Affiliate Silver Bullet generates, being thereby in a position to follow up with those prospects with additional affiliate offers over time. And since the number of prospects on the affiliate’s opt-in lists should grow with each additional gift offered, their is a much better likelihood of building a sustainable affiliate marketing business that grows with time and effort.

Now that these ‘done-for-you’ affiliate marketing resources are available and can not only automate your affiliate commissions but even your affiliate list-building, just about all that’s left for you to do is become accomplished at driving targeted traffic to your affiliate offers, squeeze pages and blogs. Fortunately there are a number of free traffic sources you can learn to tap into, as discussed in the 3-hour Top Traffic Tips audio recorded by super-affiliates Willie Crawford and Doug Champigny to detail 15 free ways to drive targeted traffic.

There you have it – three powerful done-for-you affiliate marketing resources you should be suing already, along with tips as to where best to host your sites and lists and how to get traffic to them once you do.

Don’t get me wrong – I absolutely love ClickBank Pirate! It’s a fantastic service for affiliate marketing pros and newbies alike – they’re complete ‘done-for-you’ affiliate marketing squeeze page systems and autoresponder followup e-courses mean that all you have to do is send targeted traffic to each month’s new page to earn potentially huge affiliate commissions from ClickBank, and through both promoting their service and promoting some of the monthly packages I’ve had affiliate commissions from ClickBank every month since the ClickBank Pirate launch early last year.

But from my super-affiliate viewpoint there was always one flaw in their system – obviously not a big enough problem to stop me from being a member, but one that meant I haven’t promoted it quite as heavily as I could have…

The list you’re building through those squeeze pages isn’t your own. The good news is it’s used to push the product through followup e-mails all coded with YOUR affiliate link. You don’t need to set up the autoresponder, write the followup e-mails, etc – that’s all done for you. But when you want to move on and promote a different product or service, you’re starting from scratch again – you don’t have access to that previously-built list of prospects to send your next promotion to.

As I said, not a major problem – if you know how to drive traffic to the first site, you simply repeat that action to send them to the second site. And not having to set it all up and write all the e-mails compensates for it – but only to a point. To really grow your affiliate marketing commissions, you need to be building your prospect list, adding the new opt-ins this month to those you secured last month, etc. This gives you the long-term growth that leads to building a secure online income. But you do need income NOW while you’re building for that future, so ClickBank Pirate remains an important component in your affiliate strategies.

But yes, you DO need to be building your opt-in lists continually, building an ever-increasing number of prospects who’ve asked you to keep them aware of developments and new releases in your chosen niche(s). And that’s where Cindy & Soren have evolved their system they designed for ClickBank Pirate and fixed the situation with their new release, Affiliate Silver Bullets.

This time you have your choice – you can leave it all hosted with them and handle it the way ClickBank Pirate runs, or you can download some or all of your sites and host them yourself, building your list in your own autoresponder system instead. Since they’ve already done all the research, writing and creation for you, you simply upload it all to your Hosting4Marketers.comaccount, hook it into one or more of your autoresponders there and start driving that same traffic…

Unlike CB Pirate though, this system comes with a set number of sites as opposed to an ongoing service, and you can choose to take the OTO and download them all today or take the 7-month plan and pay for them as you download them over the next 7 months. So don’t be tempted to switch from CBP, use this one as a supplement to it instead – even use your ASB sites to build a list specifically to promote your ongoing CBP sites if you like.

But either way, be sure to add Affiliate Silver Bullet to your affiliate marketing arsenal today and adjust your strategies and plan of action to include them as both an additional source of affiliate commissions AND another tool to help you build opt-in lists – thus covering off the two main areas of affiliate marketing yet again.

Remember, the success of your online work-at-home business comes not from any one site or tool, but from building a number of new traffic resources, list-building resources and profit streams, all automated and integrated into a professional affiliate marketing business system. A system that should now include these powerful new Affiliate Silver Bullets!

Hi Thanks for checking out this review,

I’ve had the good fortune of being able to test out the effectiveness of the Affiliate Silver Bullet product and would like to share my experience.

First of all if you’re wondering if this product is any different than Clickbank Pirates which was also created by Soren Jordansen and Cindy Battye…

Yes it is and in a major way.

While on the surface Clickbank Pirates and Affiliate Silver Bullet may look the same, one of the major differences between the two is the fact that with Affiliate Silver Bullet you can host these affiliate packages on your own domain.

With Clickbank Pirate that option was not available and the only way you could capture leads in your own sales funnel was to create a lead capture system around the affiliate package you chose to promote.

To do this involved a little more elbow grease and for the newbie would involve putting in more time and experiencing the headache of trying to make it all work.

However this time around with Affiliate Silver Bullet, you can now bypass that headache and host you’re chosen affiliate package on your own server and funnel leads directly into your autoresponder without them having to optin twice.

While this option certainly makes Affiliate Silver Bullet a bit more exciting than CBP, you can still choose to setup a redirect and link straight to the affiliate packages without having to setup hosting or create a website if you don’t want to.

So far I hope this makes sense to you, but I had another question that I emailed Soren about regarding the self hosting option and it was this:

“If a newbie decides to host these packages on their own server will there be information supplied that will show them how to set up a profitable backend sales funnel?”

After all if someone doesn’t know how to set up a backend funnel what good is building a subscriber list.

I received a rather rapid response from Soren and this is what he said:

“The bullet readme’s don’t focus on setting
up a sales funnel. But some of the bonus
material does. Look under Traffic Training
and check out the email marketing.”

Now being a member of Clickbank Pirates, when Soren says they are going to provide the information you need to setup a profitable backend sales funnel…

It’s going to be a thorough setup, similar to the CBP traffic training.

In addition to all of this you will get new affiliate packages every month built around products that are proven to convert and make you money.

I’m also offering an Affiliate Silver Bullet Bonus package that I feel perfectly compliments this system and it is time sensitive so if you would like to check it out visit:http://www.cbcomissionformula.com/AffiliateSilverBulletBonus

I hope you found this review to be informative and I wish you the best on your affiliate marketing journey!

Looking to make more affiliate commissions quickly and with the least possible effort? Then just maybe the new Affiliate Silver Bullet service is right for your affiliate marketing mix too!

I say ‘too’ because from the advanced preview I was granted due to my status as a super-affiliate, I have to say I’d be silly not to include promoting Affiliate Silver Bullets in my online marketing mix. After all, all of the major setup work is already done for each of the products the ASB system promotes – all I have to do is drive targeted traffic to it. And as the author of numerous targeted traffic e-books and co-creator of the Top Traffic Tips audio training along with fellow big-dog Willie Crawford, sending targeted traffic isn’t all that difficult for me… 

If you’re fairly new to Internet marketing you’re most likely starting out with affiliate marketing anyway – it’s usually the easiest way to start an online business and build a work-at-home income for yourself. For you, Affiliate Silver Bullet will probably seem like a Godsend – after all, they’ll build it all, put your affiliate links in it and host it all for you on their servers, allowing you to focus just on driving targeted traffic to it – they’ll even handle the e-mail followups to help convert that traffic for you! Optimally, this helps provide you with some income while you learn one of the most valuable skills in the biz – how to develop streams of targeted traffic and direct them to the links you choose.

If you’re a more experienced affiliate marketing pro or a super-affiliate then you’ll appreciate the Affiliate Silver Bullets even more, since you have the option of downloading each package and putting it on your own sites, hooking it up directly to your own autoresponders. No doubt the more experienced affiliate pros will instantly see this can be a very profitable list-building opportunity too – and we all know the need for building optin lists in every niche we target, right?

But no matter what your level of Internet marketing or affiliate marketing experience, it won’t take you long to see the potential benefits of using the new Affiliate Silver Bullets resources. Head over now and check out the list of features and the benefits they entail for you and you’ll see what I mean…

Today’s Affiliate Silver Bullet launch sets a new benchmark for affiliate marketing resource sites – that is, sites that provide ongoing services to affiliate marketers for a monthly fee.

Until today, the best was ClickBank Pirate – they provide you with a new video squeeze page to promote each month, supply the free report your prospect downloads and deliver the autoresponder series to sell the prospect into the affiliate product you’re promoting. Everything is done for you – all you do is send traffic.

So it’s no wonder that the new benchmark is being established by Cindy & Soren, owners of CB Pirate – they’re the same service providers behind Affiliate Silver Bullet. At first blush, ASB seems to be the same, and in fact DOES provide everything that CB Pirate does. But there is ONE major difference that experienced affiliate marketing pros will notice right off…

With your Affiliate Silver Bullet membership, you can choose each month whether to let them host it for you and run the e-mail series or to download it all and put it online on your own site. This is a huge improvement, as running it on your own site means YOU own the list it generates, people are opting into YOUR autoresponders, and as a result you can follow up with them about other related products down the road.

And THAT, my friend, makes all the difference in the world to anyone trying to establish or grow their own work-at-home affiliate marketing business online – now you’re able to build opt-in lists while building your commissions, giving you potential earnings immediately and much great potential earnings as each month passes…

Affiliate Silver Bullet Launch Comes When Its Needed Most!

Affiliate Silver Bullet (ASB) launches at noon Eastern on Thursday, April 29th, 2010 – about 14 hours from now as I write this post. And it really couldn’t come at a better time for the affiliate marketing world…

Affiliate marketing, and Internet marketing in general have both changed majorly as a result of the global recession. While there is still plenty of money to be made with online marketing, it definitely takes more time and effort to truly succeed online compared to just a couple of years ago.

In my own case, the month between my last post and this one is by FAR the longest break in my blogging since 2004. But don’t take that as a sign I’ve been idle – after speaking at Mark Hendricks’ Internet Super Stars Conference in Orlando Florida in January we launch ourPowerStart Internet Marketing coaching program in February and our Affiliate Marketing PowerStart coaching program at the start of April. So not only am I tied up on coaching calls every Monday & Wednesday night, but the Internet marketing coaching program alone required the time for me to create over 1.5 GIGS of training videos to supplement the webinars!

Then, as you saw in the last post we were heavily involved in pushing the Tweet Traffic Rushlaunch last month and this month the pre-launch for tomorrow’s Affiliate Silver Bullet opening.

And May looks no less hectic – including a new launch from Jeff Dedrick and a quick trip to Philadelphia where I’ll be speaking at Ken McArthur’s JVAlert Live! seminar, which runs May 14th to 16th.

So why do I say this launch comes when needed most? Because a service like Affiliate Silver Bullet is one more opportunity to add additional income streams where most of the work is already done for you…

Like myself, many of this blog’s community jumped all over ClickBank Pirate when Cindy and Soren launched it last year, and I’m pleased to say it made me money both during the launch and every single month since then. If you missed it, CB Pirate is a service that creates a new site for you to promote each month with a video squeeze page and free report to give away. Once a prospect downloads the report they’re placed in an autoresponder series that promotes one ClickBank product in the same niche as they’re free report. So literally all you do is drive traffic to your squeeze page each month and their pre-made system takes over from there to make the sale for you.

Affiliate Silver Bullet is much the same, but with one major difference. If there was any flaw in the CB Pirate service it was that you don’t own the list it generates – since people opt in to the system’s autoresponder, the list stays there, not under your control. That’s great for selling that product, but you then don’t have access to them to sell additional products, promote your own sites, etc.

Bearing that in mind, Cindy & Soren have addressed that issue in this new launch… With the sites from Affiliate Silver Bullet you have your choice of leaving it all hosted and automated by them, or downloading the materials and putting hem on your own site, thus using YOUR autoresponders and leaving the resulting list in YOUR control!

At least in my humble opinion, I now have the best of both worlds – when I’m really busy elsewhere I can just leave things as they are and simply drive traffic to my CB Pirate and ASB squeeze pages each month, and when I have more time can set up a month’s ASB package on one or more of my 150+ websites and use it as a lead generator as well as a profit center.

If it goes as I expect it will, this will be one more tool in my affiliate marketing arsenal that brings in long-term results – check out www.Affiliate-Silver-Bullets.com yourself right now and see if it can be a big help to your efforts too!

Straight up, Affiliate Silver Bullet is a great package, especially compared to what else is out there. If you want a site where everything is handed to you on a – uh – silver platter than this is it. But of course nothing is as easy it seems.

If you buy it with the mindset of I’m going to push a few buttons, get a few sites online and become rich straight away then you are set for failure.

No doubt you have read about a million emails and a bunch of other reviews that have painted Affiliate Silver Bullet as the be all and end all.

It’s just sales hype and it’s easy to get caught up in it. Buy the product and then realize “I actually have to do some work!”

If your willing to give it your best shot and put some energy into promoting your affiliate silver bullet sites by bringing in some traffic then I really think you will look back in a few months time and think “what a great decision it was for me to invest in this system”.

On the flip side if you think you will join affiliate silver bullet and become rich overnight then don’t bother buying it. It’s not going to happen.

The choice is yours…
