			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I often review Internet marketing products that I think will help readers, subscribers and customers&#8230;Mass Traffic Code fits the bill.</p>
<p>Read on for some accurate information to help you make the right decision for you and for your business.</p>
<p>So, what does that really mean in your situation?</p>
<p>It means, information helping you to make an informed decision.</p>
<p>Let’s cut the chase&#8230;</p>
<p>I came across Mass Traffic Code after reading about it on the forums. Due to some good reviews online, I wanted to check it out.</p>
<p>Imagine a product which is step by step, straight forward and filled with traffic generation strategies.</p>
<p>Yet better than that, Mass Traffic Code is about using Free tools to implement the entire process.</p>
<p>Definitely, you can benefit&#8230;if, that is, you are after more traffic to your websites.</p>
<p>Everything is based on proven working methods, well organized and the information you receive is&#8230;</p>
<p>1. Suitable for Newbies, struggling affiliates or seasoned pros&#8230;<br />
2. A complete A-Z guide in step by step detail<br />
3. Filled with the tools you need</p>
<p>Mass Traffic Code works best with Affiliate Programs using the latest trends in website traffic generation.</p>
<p>Everything on the web is in a constant state of change. Success in this environment means you need time tested proven techniques rather than the latest fad or black-hat method of getting traffic.</p>
<p>Yet advanced skills are not required to put it into motion</p>
<p>Because it&#8217;s currently at an affordable price I highly recommend you seriously consider your investment into this product. And, if you are at about building your own online income then you understand traffic is the life-blood of building that income.</p>
<p>You won’t find a better deal as it is essentially risk-free coming with a money back guarantee. Which I believe should help you in making the best decision for your business too.</p>
<p>Mass Traffic Code is simply the most powerful traffic generation and money making product on the market today. It contains simple, easy-to-understand and proven methods.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><font face="verdana">Fortunes have been 	 made with private label rights.</p>
<p>And why not? How hard is it 	to  take something someone else wrote, give it a new title, add your own  name 	as author, and begin promoting it?</p>
<p>Because while others 	 struggle to create their products, the PLR person only needs to focus on  	marketing. Fully half of his job is already done for him before he  even 	starts.</p>
<p>Using simple math alone, we can show that the 	 marketer who creates his own products can never make as much as the one  who 	uses PLR, because so much time is wasted in product creation.</p>
<p>But there is a caveat. If the PLR is of poor or even mediocre  quality, then 	the marketer who uses it will struggle. They will  struggle to make sales, to 	keep refunds down, and to get affiliates.</p>
<p>But if you&#8217;re lucky 	enough to know WHERE to find the rare HIGH  quality PLR, then you have struck 	gold indeed. Because now you will  easily make sales, your customers will be 	HAPPY and come back for MORE,  and you will attract high selling AFFILIATES.</p>
<p>So the  question is, where do you find the quality PLR that makes you the big 	 bucks?</p>
<p>The very best source I have EVER found is an elusive 	 one. You see, once in awhile, a MAJOR marketer decides to retire. And  when 	they do, they sometimes will SELL their vast array of products  with Private 	Label rights.</p>
<p>These are THE VERY BEST PLR  products you will 	ever find, because they were not written to be used  as PLR, but to be used 	by that big marketer. And when a marketer  becomes well known (aka a &#8220;Guru&#8221;) 	you will find that they do NOT put  out ANYTHING that is less than the 	highest quality, because their  reputations are constantly on the line.</p>
<p>As you may have  guessed, there is indeed one of these retirement sales 	happening right  now. The last time I saw one this big, it was SEVERAL years 	ago, and  Mark Joyner was retiring. Now John Delavera is following in 	his  footsteps, and offering a few lucky people a HUGE package of almost ALL  	of his Turbo products with private label rights for just one price.</p>
<p>Quantity is limited. The time is limited. And for those smart  enough to grab 	this package, they may very well find their online  careers take off in the 	Turbo way.</p>
<p>Remember I mentioned Mark  Joyner? An unknown kid 	name Russell Brunson bought Mark&#8217;s package. And  now he&#8217;s a 	multi-millionaire.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s the link for more  info&#8230;</font></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Marketing is tough.</p>
<p>You don&#8217;t need me to tell you that do you?</p>
<p>When you&#8217;re first starting out, it feels like you&#8217;re going in circles&#8230; nothing really makes any sense.</p>
<p>Maybe you&#8217;re still in that situation?</p>
<p>Sure, you can buy ebooks and all the different guides online, but they can just work to confuse you even more&#8230;</p>
<p>But what if you had the advice of one of the biggest marketers in the world to guide you?</p>
<p>Say&#8230; Mike Filsaime, or Russell Brunson?</p>
<p>That would make life a lot easier wouldn&#8217;t it?</p>
<p>Or imagine that you had not only those 2 guys advising you, but you also had over 30 of the other biggest marketers in the world sharing their secrets&#8230;</p>
<p>It would be huge wouldn&#8217;t it?</p>
<p>Well, that&#8217;s what my buddies Graham McAndrew and Mark Salter has put together.</p>
<p>Check it out below:</p>
<p><a href="http://diamond.rtup.biz/?e=StartupYourBusiness" title="Start Your Business" target="_blank"><strong>Start Your Business</strong></a></p>
<p>Their latest project, Sta.rtup.Biz Diamond literally has everything you need to hit the ground running in the marketing world.</p>
<p>This thing can help you get into profit in record time, because you&#8217;ll be learning from the best.</p>
<p>But&#8230; I must give you a warning.</p>
<p>This thing won&#8217;t be around forever. It&#8217;s brand new, and the price you&#8217;re looking at right now is WAY under the official price.</p>
<p>But it won&#8217;t be like that forever.</p>
<p>Move fast on this and check it out now&#8230;</p>
<p><a href="http://diamond.rtup.biz/?e=StartupYourBusiness" title="Start Your Business"><strong>Start Your Business</strong></a></p>
<p>But hurry. I can&#8217;t even promise there will be any slots left by the time you click the link and the page opens&#8230;</p>
<p>Did I mention that there are also audio interviews with a lot of those big marketers?</p>
<p>You can hear firsthand their most closely guarded secrets, but only if you act right now:</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>By Jimmy D. Brown of <a href="http://simplewebbusiness.com/AffiliatePayraise" title=""Affiliate Payraise"" target="_blank"><strong>&#8220;Affiliate Payraise&#8221;</strong></a></p>
<p>&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;.</p>
<p>If you look at the average site for any given affiliate,<br />
you&#8217;ll likely find a boring, tasteless smorgasbord of<br />
prefab content that was created more for search engines to<br />
read than it was for real people to read.</p>
<p>While that make aid in rankings, is it really going to do<br />
any good once someone sees the site listed and makes a visit?</p>
<p>Probably not.</p>
<p>What every affiliate needs to learn is simple -</p>
<p>** CONTENT IS KING ***</p>
<p>It&#8217;s content that leads to sales, not a strategically<br />
designed website that search engines temporarily find meets<br />
their ranking criteria.</p>
<p>So, let&#8217;s talk about that.</p>
<p>There must be a reason why some content is very good and<br />
some content is very bad; why some information is so<br />
enthralling that you can&#8217;t stop reading while other<br />
information is the cure for a sleepless night; why some<br />
words cause you to frantically take notes and some words<br />
cause you to take a break.</p>
<p>There must be a reason.</p>
<p>There is.</p>
<p>And that reason is this -</p>
<p>Quality writers approach content creation as a craft.</p>
<p>To be sure, some writers are just naturally gifted. They<br />
swing words like Tiger Woods swings a 5-iron. They can<br />
spot a good paragraph like Warren Buffet spots good<br />
investments. They write like Tom Hanks acts. Even though<br />
they practice their art form, it comes easy to them.</p>
<p>Then, there are those that swing words like Jimmy D. Brown<br />
swings a 5-iron. Paragraphs are like Black Tuesday. Their<br />
writing is the equivalent of the acting in a kindergarten<br />
cantata &#8230; and they aren&#8217;t nearly as cute and lovable as<br />
those 5 year olds. Content creation is a struggle.</p>
<p>The good news is this: by focusing on two key components<br />
all writers can create the kind of content that generates<br />
interest and demand.</p>
<p>Whether you&#8217;re writing ezine articles or paid products<br />
or anything in between, there are two components that<br />
you need to develop in writing your content.</p>
<p>Before I explain how to weave both of these components<br />
into your content, let me first explain the reality of<br />
why these components are necessary in the first place.</p>
<p>People read for two basic reasons -</p>
<p>1. They want to be ENTERTAINED. Many people read because<br />
they enjoy a good story. They settle into their favorite<br />
chair and John Grisham whisks them off to the courtroom<br />
for a legal adventure or Sue Grafton captivates their<br />
mind in a &#8220;whodunit&#8221; or Nicholas Sparks unlocks the<br />
emotions with a love story. Or, maybe they head to the<br />
bathroom with a copy of National Enquirer to read about<br />
a three-headed alien who&#8217;s been dating Lindsay Lohan,<br />
whatever, they read to be entertained.</p>
<p>2. They want to be EDUCATED. There are other times when<br />
people read because they want to learn something. That<br />
drain beneath the kitchen sink is leaking again; a dormant<br />
website needs traffic; mom is coming to her house for<br />
Thanksgiving. Whether it&#8217;s a do-it-yourselfer looking<br />
to improve his home or an internet marketing looking to<br />
drive visitors to her site or a young wife looking to<br />
impress her mom with a mouth-watering turkey, people<br />
read to be educated.</p>
<p>So, those are the two basic reasons why people read.</p>
<p>There will now be a test. Close your books. Put away your<br />
notes. No talking or looking at anyone else&#8217;s paper.</p>
<p>What are the two reasons why people read? (No peeking!)</p>
<p>If you said &#8220;to be entertained&#8221; and &#8220;to be educated&#8221; then<br />
you get to continue. If you said anything else, it&#8217;s time for<br />
an XBox 360 break or a stiff cup of java or whatever it is you<br />
do to get your mind in gear. <img src='http://simplewebbusiness.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>People read to be entertained and/or educated. And when it<br />
comes to the art of sharing information as a part of your<br />
business, including BOTH parts are important.</p>
<p>Listen to me carefully. This is the &#8220;ultimate&#8221; mastery of<br />
your craft -</p>
<p>To teach readers something desirable to them in a way that<br />
they find enjoyable.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s the goal. Put a great big bull&#8217;s eye right there.<br />
And fire away.</p>
<p>So, let&#8217;s talk about some specific practices for each of<br />
these two components. How can you make your content<br />
entertaining? How can you make it educational?</p>
<p>Content Component #1: Entertain. There are many, many ways<br />
to make your writing a form of entertainment. Briefly, let<br />
me point you towards 6 methods of engaging your reader and<br />
making the consumption of your content an enjoyable<br />
experience for her&#8230;</p>
<p>* Analogies. A great way to keep your content flowing is to<br />
use a few analogies. That is, you compare one item to another<br />
item. Sure, I could have said earlier &#8220;writing is easier<br />
for some than others&#8221;. But, with just a few extra words<br />
I instead said, &#8220;They swing words like Tiger Woods swings<br />
a 5-iron. They can spot a good paragraph like Warren<br />
Buffet spots good investments. They write like Tom Hanks<br />
acts. Even though they practice their art form, it comes<br />
easy to them.&#8221; Honestly, which is a better read?</p>
<p>* Humor. A little chuckle goes a long way when it comes to<br />
the enjoyment factor of reading. Most everyone likes to<br />
laugh. (My apologies to those of you who don&#8217;t enjoy<br />
laughing. You may skip this and go immediately to the<br />
section marked &#8220;Don&#8217;t Have A Sense Of Humor&#8221;). Earlier,<br />
I built upon the analogy of Tiger Woods by comedically<br />
adding, &#8220;They swing words like Jimmy D. Brown swings a<br />
5-iron.&#8221; By affording them the opportunity, you naturally<br />
make the reading experience more enjoyable. Does this mean<br />
you should make every attempt to be Jay Leno? Of course not.<br />
It just means when you have a chance to say something in a<br />
funny way do it. Don&#8217;t use too much humor and stay away<br />
from offensive humor, but by all means insert light-hearted<br />
fun when applicable.</p>
<p>* Acronyms. Another idea is to organize your content by<br />
using an &#8220;acronym&#8221;. I&#8217;ve used many in the past: &#8220;How To<br />
Keep Affiliates A.C.T.I.V.E. In Your Program&#8221;, &#8220;How To<br />
S.E.T.U.P. A Web Site&#8221; and &#8220;How To I.M.P.R.O.V.E. Your<br />
Writing&#8221; are just a few. In these instances, the words<br />
&#8220;Active&#8221;, &#8220;Setup&#8221; and &#8220;Improve&#8221; were used to reveal the<br />
various parts of the content. Not only do people love<br />
them (I&#8217;ve always gotten great feedback), but it also<br />
allows you to have something original that is uniquely yours.</p>
<p>* Storytelling. In a recent paid report I wrote, I opened with<br />
a story about me selling Grit newspaper back in the early<br />
1980&#8217;s and I tied it into the fact that this was an early<br />
form of the modern affiliate program model. A good story<br />
always engages the reader. Especially when it is relevant<br />
to the point being made. Keep them short (don&#8217;t launch into<br />
the great American novel - this isn&#8217;t Hemingway for crying<br />
out loud!) and lively and they&#8217;ll only enhance your writing.</p>
<p>* Editorials. Opinions are like noses &#8230; everyone has one.<br />
So, why not share yours? To be sure, you may want to steer<br />
clear of any controversies that might damage your reputation<br />
and business, but don&#8217;t be afraid to get personal when you<br />
write. Many times I&#8217;ve mentioned my faith in Jesus Christ<br />
in my content. I&#8217;ve jumped up on my soapbox and preached<br />
about using integrity in your business dealings. I&#8217;ve gave<br />
my thoughts on a variety of issues that were relevant to<br />
what I was writing. And, you know what, it always gets the<br />
reader more involved in the process of consuming information.<br />
Either they agree or disagree (sometimes strongly) with<br />
what I&#8217;m saying, but they continue reading because editorials<br />
are interesting. Share your thoughts.</p>
<p>* Revelations. A simple way to get someone reading deeper<br />
into your content is to make a statement of something you&#8217;ll<br />
be sharing later int he content. It&#8217;s so easy to do. If<br />
you read back to something I wrote earlier in this article,<br />
you&#8217;d find this statement: &#8220;Before I explain how to weave<br />
both of these components into your content, let me first<br />
explain the reality of why these components are necessary<br />
in the first place.&#8221; Do you see how that works? I set the<br />
table for what I&#8217;d be revealing shortly. I whet your<br />
appetite. Consciously or (more likely) subconsciously, you<br />
got the point that something desirable was coming later<br />
in the article. This isn&#8217;t a new concept. Think about every<br />
newscast you&#8217;ve ever watched: &#8220;Coming up later in the hour,<br />
we&#8217;ll show you how&#8230;&#8221; and &#8220;Up next we&#8217;ll share&#8230;&#8221; Building<br />
interest breeds enjoyment &#8212; especially when you deliver<br />
the goods later in the content.</p>
<p>So, those are just a few ways you can &#8220;entertain&#8221; your readers<br />
and make the consumption of your content an enjoyable experience.</p>
<p>But, what about the other component? How do you &#8220;educate&#8221; them?<br />
Let&#8217;s take a look.</p>
<p>Content Component #2: Educate. Certainly writers of all shapes<br />
and sizes know that the essence of &#8220;educating&#8221; a reader is to<br />
explain the subject matter in a way that can be clearly understood.<br />
That&#8217;s a given, right?</p>
<p>And certainly there are many ways to do this effectively. There<br />
isn&#8217;t a standardized formula that all content must adhere to in<br />
order to get it right. However, I do believe that there are<br />
three basic parts that should be included in virtually every<br />
piece of content written as far as those involved in selling<br />
information.</p>
<p>* Action Steps . If someone is intent on learning a process,<br />
they want to know the necessary steps involved in completing<br />
it. For example: If I want to learn how bake a cake, I don&#8217;t<br />
want a list of ingredients with the instructions &#8220;Mix these<br />
together&#8221;. I want a detailed, chronological list of what to<br />
do, step-by-step. Certainly, not all content is a &#8220;tutorial&#8221;<br />
(The very lesson you&#8217;re reading isn&#8217;t in step-by-step format)<br />
but, when applicable, always explain things in chronological,<br />
reasonable steps. Preferably, in 9 steps or less to avoid the<br />
appearance that the process is too difficult to be accomplished.</p>
<p>* Brainstorming. Two of your favorite words as a writer should<br />
be, &#8220;For example&#8221;. The missing element of most information<br />
products and associated content that I&#8217;ve read is the use<br />
of &#8220;examples&#8221; and &#8220;ideas&#8221;. Most people present some information<br />
and then leave it to the reader to figure out how to apply<br />
that information for their own use. That&#8217;s usually not a good<br />
thing. Instead, it&#8217;s important to provide as many different<br />
examples, case studies, ideas, etc. as possible to give the<br />
reader a good idea of how to accomplish what you&#8217;re suggesting.<br />
For example (Hmmm, bet ya didn&#8217;t see that coming, huh?): I<br />
could have simply said, &#8220;You need to entertain your readers&#8221;<br />
and &#8220;You need to educate your readers&#8221; and left it at that.<br />
Instead, I&#8217;ve been giving examples and ideas for doing each<br />
of these things. More than just information, readers crave<br />
application. They want to see the content in action; they<br />
want to see how they can use it themselves.</p>
<p>* Tips. Everything you write should have tips included.<br />
Everything. Tips come in many shapes and sizes: keys, tactics,<br />
techniques, ways, methods, options. As many of these as you<br />
can include in your writing, the better. All it takes is<br />
for one good idea that you&#8217;ve shared to satisfy the reader.<br />
If you share 10 ways to do XYZ and number 7 clicks with the<br />
reader, they&#8217;ll love you. It doesn&#8217;t matter what else you<br />
write in the content, they are happy because they learned<br />
something useful. Tips are the information publisher&#8217;s best<br />
friend. A veteran might read your material and already<br />
know 99% of what you&#8217;ve written, but that one tip on<br />
page 47 just floored them and they are esctatic. Share as<br />
many different tips as you can. Your readers will thank<br />
you later. Well, the grateful ones will.</p>
<p>So, there you have it, the two key components of your content.<br />
Don&#8217;t forget the goal with these:</p>
<p>To teach readers something desirable to them in a way that<br />
they find enjoyable.</p>
<p>When you begin to build THAT kind of content into your websites<br />
and blogs, you&#8217;ll have a site that will do more than impress<br />
the search engines, it will impress those who arrive at your<br />
site and take a look around.</p>
<p>Never forget this truth:  search engines don&#8217;t buy what you&#8217;re<br />
selling.  People do.</p>

internet marketing mentors.</p>
<p>Why I Love Affiliate Marketing - Part 5<br />
By Jimmy D. Brown of &#8220;Affiliatenaire&#8221;</p>
<p>The word &#8220;overhead&#8221; is not a favorite among those who run<br />
businesses of any kind.  Nobody likes the expenses of<br />
operating a business.  And nobody really talks about them<br />
much when it comes to promoting all of the &#8220;money-making&#8221;<br />
products and services online.</p>
<p>But, don&#8217;t kid yourself, there&#8217;s a lot of overhead.</p>
<p>That brings me to the fifth reason why I love affiliate<br />
marketing&#8230;</p>
<p>** You don&#8217;t need a big budget to make it work **</p>
<p>Do you have any idea how much money is spent running an<br />
internet business? There are monthly fees for&#8230;</p>
<p>* Autoresponders<br />
* Hosting<br />
* Management<br />
* Advertising<br />
* Scripts<br />
* Much more</p>
<p>There are regular fees for&#8230;</p>
<p>* Licensing<br />
* Outsourcing<br />
* Support<br />
* Customer Service<br />
* Maintenance<br />
* Development<br />
* Recruting<br />
* Much more</p>
<p>It&#8217;s not uncommon to spend tens of thousands (even<br />
hundreds of thousands) of dollars in operational<br />
costs &#8212; which is fine if you&#8217;ve been in business<br />
a while and are making the bucks. However, if you&#8217;re<br />
a newcomer, it can be taxing on your budget!</p>
<p>SIDEBAR:  I paid one girl over $30,000 last year<br />
just to oversee one small part of my business.<br />
No one talks much about it, but there ARE a lot<br />
of expenses involved before you get to the<br />
&#8220;bottom line&#8221; of profit.</p>
<p>BUT, with affiliate marketing, you don&#8217;t need a big<br />
budget to make it work! You can simply use a variety<br />
of free and low-cost marketing methods to generate<br />
clicks to your affiliate link.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s why I love affiliate marketing.</p>
<p>You don&#8217;t need a big budget to make it work.</p>

you how to create big-time affiliate commission checks in<br />
only 1-3 hours each week.  Discover how you can get cash in<br />
the bank without a website, experience or even an idea!<br />

internet marketing mentors.</p>
<p>Why I Love Affiliate Marketing - Part 4<br />
By Jimmy D. Brown of &#8220;Affiliatenaire&#8221;</p>
<p>I&#8217;m sure by now you are well aware that there are those who<br />
have reported HUGE amounts of money being made with their<br />
online businesses.  What you may not be aware of is the<br />
amount of work involved in generating those &#8220;sales&#8221; (not<br />
always net profit, mind you &#8230; this isn&#8217;t &#8220;spendable&#8221;<br />
income in a lot of cases.)</p>
<p>That brings me to the fourth reason why I love affiliate<br />
marketing&#8230;</p>
<p>** You don&#8217;t need to manage an entire business **</p>
<p>While it can be quite lucrative, running an entire business<br />
with employees, inventory, partners, vendors, and other<br />
associates can be a time-sucking, frustrating ordeal.</p>
<p>Imagine&#8230;</p>
<p>* Processing refunds<br />
* Putting out fires when partners SPAM<br />
* Managing day-to-day operations<br />
* Overseeing projects you&#8217;ve outsourced<br />
* Recruting new affiliates<br />
* Training everyone to help you<br />
* Paying taxes<br />
* Taking care of the paper trail<br />
* Doing all of the &#8220;stuff&#8221; that business owners do.</p>
<p>Didn&#8217;t you want to start an internet business to make<br />
more time for important things in life?</p>
<p>Why not make a lot of money WITHOUT making a lot of extra<br />
work for yourself?!</p>
<p>It can be a lot of extra work and stress. BUT, with<br />
affiliate marketing, you don&#8217;t need to manage an entire<br />
business! You are simply responsible for promoting your<br />
affiliate link&#8230; someone else handles all the rest.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s why I love affiliate marketing.</p>
<p>You don&#8217;t need to manage an entire business.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>NOTE:  The following is a guest post from one of my favorite<br />
internet marketing mentors.</p>
<p>Why I Love Affiliate Marketing - Part 3<br />
By Jimmy D. Brown of &#8220;Affiliatenaire&#8221;</p>
<p>Some people have the ability to persuade others and talk<br />
them into just about anything.  Especially when it comes<br />
to influencing their buying decisions.  They know how to<br />
push the right hot buttons, say things the right way and<br />
generally get consumers into an emotional frenzy to the<br />
point they are ready to click an order button.</p>
<p>There are two key words in that paragraph that really need<br />
to stand out in your mind:  &#8220;some people&#8221;.</p>
<p>Not everyone has this ability.  In fact, only a few do.</p>
<p>That brings me to the third reason why I love affiliate<br />
marketing&#8230;</p>
<p>** You don&#8217;t need to write a world class salesletter**</p>
<p>Have you ever tried to write a salesletter? There&#8217;s a<br />
reason why professional copywriters charge up to $10,000<br />
(and sometimes even more) for a SINGLE salesletter. It<br />
takes a lot of experience and skill to write a top-gun<br />
salesletter, which is why most people have a hard time<br />
convincing people to buy if they do create their own<br />
products and website.</p>
<p>They simply don&#8217;t have the right salesletter in place<br />
to make it all work. Without good copy, it really doesn&#8217;t<br />
matter how spectacular the offer is, you&#8217;re simply not<br />
going to get many sales.</p>
<p>SIDEBAR:  The average conversion rate of site visitors<br />
who become buyers is reportedly less than 2%.  That<br />
means 98 out of every 100 do NOT buy.  That&#8217;s why<br />
sales are so incredibly bad for a poor site &#8230; you<br />
*might* get 2 sales out of every 300-400 visitors.</p>
<p>BUT, with affiliate marketing, you don&#8217;t need to write a<br />
salesletter! You simply direct people to someone else&#8217;s<br />
high-octane salesletter for THEM to convert your leads<br />
into commissionable sales.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s why I love affiliate marketing.</p>
<p>You don&#8217;t need to write a world class salesletter.</p>
<p>&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;.</p>
