How many times have you picked up a newspaper and seen other people making tons of cash from their Web Sites without working too hard? Here's how you can do it:

Take advantage of a powerful new marketing tool called affiliate programs. Instead of creating a retail business that owns you, let other companies hold inventory, take orders, and take care of customers. You will know exactly how much you make per order, or per lead, in the monthly affiliate checks they send you.

Focus just on marketing and nothing else. There are two types of affiliates; those who test and those who lose money. Getting enough people to your site makes all the difference. By driving enough traffic to your site, you can make money. Given the hundreds of thousands of people signing up as affiliates, this opportunity will not be this wide open for long.

Thousands are profiting with affiliate programs, people who are no smarter than you are, no more experienced, but who seem to know exactly what to do. If your Internet business isn't generating significant income (and I mean at least $2,000 a month), here's the reason why:

You probably don't yet understand how to get customers to buy online, easily.

You are about to discover how to do this. The money being generated by the Internet affiliate programs is staggering, and experts point out that it will only grow even more dramatically in the next 5 years:

"By 2002, 25 percent of the expected $37.5 billion in Internet retail sales, not including autos, will have originated on affiliate sites."
-- Nicole Vanderbilt, Jupiter Communications

The Internet is obviously one of the great economic revolutions: the real key to success is to copy what is already working, and put it into action for yourself. The fastest, risk free way to get your share of the Internet fortune is to take advantage of affiliate programs.

Now anyone can open up a Web Site and join an affiliate program, just like anyone can open a store. The real secret is in making money with a tested, proven process that can build your business for the long run without risking your earnings, time, or sanity.

The best part of the affiliate game is that most of the affiliates out there are making the same mistakes. They are wasting time and money on online marketing insanity that simply will not succeed. This is your opportunity....now.

Imagine if you were selling someone else's product and making $20 per sale. No inventory, no credit card processing or customer service, simply marketing and making $20, free and clear. Here's the kind of income you could be looking at:

With your Affiliate success - you could live your dream like these people:

• The Web Site dedicated to helping children learn and paying its way by selling books
  
  
• The engineer who sells toys and videos about robots as a profitable side business
  
  
• A journalist in Australia who writes, while on the beach, to an international audience of over 5,000 people who regularly buy affiliate products and services from him
  
  
• A software entrepreneur who sells his competitor’s product and makes up to $1500 each month with absolutely no extra effort; and
  
  
• An Ohio couple who set up their own network and in a few short months generate tons of cash with an approach so innovative, so simple, it boggles the mind.

While the results above are exceptional, they show the power of affiliate programs. Winning the Affiliate Game is the ten step master plan/training system that shows you how it has been done, and how you can do it in your own business every day.

What Your Success Means to You

Before you set up your affiliate programs, think about what success means to you. For some, it may simply mean breaking even, perhaps paying for their Web Site fees and marketing. For others, it may be a profitable side business. Still others may want to create a full time business that they can build with the tremendous onrush of Internet users in 1999.

Whatever your goals, affiliate programs can help you achieve them quickly, easily, and with little or no risk...if you know what you are doing.

For example, the site iGive.com began with a dream that may seem positively unprofitable to some...to others, it might even appear foolish.

"Since the site began operating a year ago, 40,000 people have used it to give a total of $180,000 to 43 different causes."
-- "Organizations make it easy to donate time, money online", Jamie Beckett, San Francisco Chronicle, December 24, 1998, p. D3

Best of all, the site also matched the same $180,000 for itself. Not bad for a first year dedicated to sharing the riches of the Internet with non-profits?

Or what about the couple from Tennessee who began a national reunion business from their bedroom office and quickly used one of the strategies in this training system to free themselves from their jobs, while giving their affiliate a profitable, part-time revenue stream?

"My wife and I began our Reunion business with little money for a Web Site or marketing. We wanted to offer reunions nationwide, with events running between $10,000 and $15,000. By using your system, we found a site with tons of visitors searching for information about reunions. We created a commission based system and generated 10 sales within our first year, making our company an important, national player in this market. Now we have a thriving business that began from nothing. Our affiliate made lots of cash for a site that he never thought he could make money off of. Talk about a win-win situation!"
