Mailing List for Affiliate Marketers

If you are an affiliate marketer who wants to make a comfortable living from referring your prospects to other people’s product or service for decent commissions, then you must consider building your own mailing list.

Building your mailing list of hungry prospects can be one of the best investments you will ever make, as it is time and effort worth spending on. When you strike on a Joint Venture and have a new product or service to endorse, you can look no further than your own mailing list.

Granted, that most affiliates, as in more than 90 percent of them, are not making money from affiliate programs, but this often results from the same amount of effort focused on least effective methods.

While having your own mailing list is, by a long mile, not the only effective affiliate marketing method, you can make affiliate sales very quickly even in the next few hours after sending a sales message, provided that your mailing list is huge and responsive.

This is often true, because owning your own mailing list for you to endorse products and services to is one of the fastest-producing results, beating other affiliate marketing methods imaginable.

In a nutshell, the affiliate marketer who gets ahead of the pack is the one who owns a huge and responsive mailing list of prospects.

Thrashers moving to Winnipeg Domino effect could mean Wolves will become Canucks affiliate

The NHL will return to Winnipeg next season, 15 years after shaky economics and the lack of a local owner led to the sale of the Jets and the team's move from the frigid prairie city to Phoenix.

Commissioner Gary Bettman announced Tuesday the Atlanta Thrashers had been sold to True North Sports and Entertainment and will play in Winnipeg's MTS Arena next season under a name still to be determined. The reported price was $170 million.

Realigning the NHL's divisions is expected to be discussed by league governors June 21 but it's unclear whether that will happen for next season. The Thrashers, who entered the NHL as an expansion team for the 1999-2000 season, played in the Southeast Division.

The NHL usually announces its schedule in June for the upcoming season.

"We get to be back in a place we wish we hadn't left in 1996," Bettman said at a news conference held in Winnipeg and televised throughout Canada. "We don't like to move franchises. Sometimes we have no choice."

 

A name for the team has not been chosen, although popular sentiment seemed to be in favor of reviving the Jets name, abandoned when that team moved to Phoenix and became the Coyotes.

True North, headed by Winnipeg businessman Mark Chipman and media mogul David Thomson, bought the Thrashers from the Atlanta Spirit Group. The Thrashers, the NHL's second venture into the Atlanta market, made the playoffs only once.

The strength of the Canadian dollar should work in favor of the transplanted Thrashers. In addition, the pockets of True North appear to be deep and its discretion was equally deep throughout the negotiating process.

In a statement posted on the Thrashers' web site, Atlanta Spirit executives Bruce Levenson and Michael Gearon said they had tried to find buyers who would keep the team in Atlanta but "nobody has come forward."

Fans in Winnipeg partied on downtown streets, where they watched the news conference on massive TV screens.

The move leaves the Chicago Wolves without an NHL affiliate. True North Sports and Entertainment also owns the AHL's Manitoba Moose, which likely will be relocated and change their affiliation to Winnipeg from the Canucks.

Wolves general manager Wendell Young said Tuesday an announcement should be made early next week regarding a new affiliate. He said six franchises have contacted the Wolves and the list has been narrowed to three "contenders."

"With this Manitoba thing, it's going to be a domino effect with everyone jockeying for cities very quickly," Young said. "We need to figure out which one is best for us and to make sure we mesh with the NHL team."

The Wolves have been affiliated with the Thrashers since joining the AHL in 2001.

Discover How To Find the Right Products for Affiliate Programs

Of course, you can promote your own products or services if you have ones. You have selected an affiliate program that looked promising to you; you researched your keywords and set up AdWords campaigns. You wait for your profit to roll in...

You spend $10, then $50, then $100 on the AdWords advertising and still do not see a single sale...

Does sound familiar?

Moreover, one of the reasons may be -- *affiliate product selection*.

The online ebooks like GoogleCash and GoogleAdwords123 have excellent sections about how, where and why to select one or another affiliate program to advertise using Google AdWords.

When choosing a profitable product you have to check sales letter carefully, product owners should pay high commissions, place lifetime cookies on visitors' browsers, etc.

When you promote your affiliate links, you need to know two very important things about two tier programs:

You will earn big money on every direct sale you make.

Good examples of residual income affiliate programs are hosting companies. My websites, for example, are hosted at Host4Profit:

Host4Profit offers killer tools at an affordable price and is easy to handle.

If only you could recruit several of customers for two-tier or residual income products or services, you could make thousands lifetime.

For example, this could be:

Sports -> Specifically: Soccer
Pets -> Dogs -> Dog Pictures
Cooking Indian Cuisine -> Curry recipes

And so on. Soccer -> Learning foot tricks
Dogs -> Dog Pictures
Curry Recipes -> For the lactose intolerant (curries contain a lot of cream!)

This is niche thinking in action.

Do not get stuck on too broad niche categories. Most new affiliates face this common mistake!


After you have found your niche, you should examine if an affiliate product already exists for this niche. Remember first to look for the two-tier or residual income affiliate programs.

If you cannot find one, another option is the Clickbank catalog:

Act now; select your target niche, an affiliate program and implement the strategy that we just talked about. This is what super-affiliates do.
