(I’m not going to beat about the bush here. Ask ANY PIPS affiliate and they’ll tell you the following BASIC tools are vital to them making
real money from their affiliate programs.

You see, just as running an offline business where you’ll require an office space, fax machine, telephone lines, etc. – You need certain essential tools for an online BUSINESS (yes, treat it as such) to excel as well.

These are the basic requirements if you want to earn much more profits from your affiliate promotions :


- Your own website and domain name

I don’t care what you’ve heard or what so and so ‘guru’ said :

You need your own website and domain name to make it online,
even if you’re just an affiliate marketer.

This is the first critical step in seperating success from failure online.

Your own domain name and personal website (not those on
freeservers please) are needed to establish your online presence,
build YOUR identity, brand your name and profit from your internet
business in the long run!

It’s easy AND cheap to register domain names now.

If you can get one at $8-$10 (for a 1 year registration fee),
why don’t you?

Here are reputable registrars that charges less than $10 for a domain name!

 namecheap.com

 registerfly.com

 godaddy.com
 iPOWER.com

This is the cheapest registrar I could find - at just $5.95 per domain name.

But be careful, registering your domain name there automatically ties you in to a 30 day free trial of their hosting / search engine submission service. So bear in mind to cancel your trial before the 30 day period if you do not want to be billed after that.

You’ll need a good quality hosting company with big features to host
your site next. While they’re too many to name here, I can vouch for the following as I use them personally:

 Homestead

 Host 4 Profit

 eHosting4U.net


Host 4 Profit is hosting company that pays you. It’s such an awesome place to host your website. Hey, this is not to say you MUST use it. Research on others and you’ll find the ones that you may desire more.

- GetResponse Autoresponders

A GetResponse autoresponder is a software or script (web or desktop based) that essentially performs follow up marketing for you with your prospects automatically.


It works this way –> prospect A fills in name and email for more information from your website -> details are sent to your autoresponder -> autoresponder instantly delivers an email to prospect A with the requested information -> autoresponder continues to deliver follow up messages to prospect A over a period of time -> prospect A enjoys the information and decides to order -> you’ve made a sale + an opt-in subscriber!


Now it’s been said that if you’re not utilizing email marketing, you’re not really doing business online. Hey, come to it of it, even spammers use email to spam exclusively : )

Of course I’m not asking you to spam (no way!), but it goes to show just how powerful and essential email marketing is.

If you forget everything here, just remember one thing – you must start building an opt-in list of potential customers no matter what you’re selling!

Put the control into your own hands, not the affiliate site.

All successful internet marketers and PlugInProfitSite (PIPS) affiliates have THEIR OWN opt-in list – that’s how the bulk of their income is made anyway.

Get this right and you’ll be on the right track to internet profits.

Now I won’t recommend you using free autoresponders if you’re serious and want to be professional. But if you need to for some reasons, here are 3 good ones you can use (though you should really upgrade once your situation permits) :


 freeautobot.com

 sendfree.com

 rapidreply.net

- Ad Tracking And Testing

Every successful affiliate marketer have one thing in common – they track and test extensively.

Tracking and testing are keys to building profits in absolutely any business, online or off. This definitely applies to affiliate marketing too.

How else would you know specifically what’s working and what’s not…and wasting you money?

I won’t be going into details here but there are 2 main types of ad tracking programs, CGI Scripts which run at your own website, and Web-based Services.

Here are some examples of such programs :

CGI Scripts :

 adtrackz.com

 proanalyzer.com

 prolinkz.com

Web-based Services :

 hypertracker.com

 adminder.com

 clickalyzer.com


If you want to become a high-earning affiliate, remember the importants of tracking and testing in all areas.

Now thousands of dollars can be made with the above resources
if applied correctly and used together.

Before we move on to link cloaking, I want to highlight a perfect service for your needs. It’s where you get professional webhosting, autoresponders, ad tracking service and more, all in one place.

- Affiliate Link Cloaking

It’s imperative to mask or cloak your naked affiliate link if you do not want to lose commissions for nothing.

Potential buyers can simply switch your affiliate id to theirs and get a discount from their purchase of the affiliate product you’re promoting. For instance, a naked affiliate link from ClickBank :

 hop.clickbank.net/?nickname/alphykool

Anyone can insert their own ClickBank nickname in place of yours and get both a commission and discount!

It’s what’s commonly known as commission theft or hijack, and it robs you of your hard work and rewards.

Masking this same link using various cloaking tools helps prevent such theft from occuring. The masked affiliate link will now be displayed as:
turnkeymoney.com/AFFILIATEPROGRAM.htm
(the above is just an example)

This will discourage commission theft, though prevention is not 100% foolproof (nothing really is).

Here are some cloaking tools for you :

1. Tiny Url

A web-based service that’s easy to use and does the job relatively well. Tiny Url also shortens your affiliate link for you.

2. ClickBank Affiliate Link Protection System

Download this toolkit containing two cloaking tools, Affiliate Link Encrypter and Affiliate Link Cloaker.

Remember to cloak your links!
