Affiliate Marketing Tools and Strategies
We all strive for that--and it is one of the reasons so many people throw their lives into the dream of Internet (aka affiliate) marketing.
There's a really cool concept that is worth understanding right off the bat--the Internet is big enough for all of us! There is enough variety, a multitude of resources and enough MONEY and people wanting "stuff" to make a venture into affiliate marketing very real and attainable if you really want it. The pie is large enough for all of us to have a piece--some get a larger piece than others because they work at it and master the skills.
It's true. With the right mindset, the tenacity to succeed and not give up and the right tools...earning money on the Internet is possible.
This lens is about helping you get a larger piece of the pie!
I wanted to share a growing list of some of the best tools that I have found and personally use that make earning on the Internet possible and probable. With the right attitude and the willingness to try, you can do it!

AWeber - Building Your e-mail List
You've probably seen them a million times on sales letter pages selling some informational product. That lovely opt-in form that seeks your name and e-mail address and promises you a bonus, secret or some other great free product as bait.This is the heart of e-mail marketing and you need the proper tool to make your work worthwhile.

For me, this works--I've filled out so many of them and I have lost count. Of all of these forms and email autoresponders--there is one provider that reigns as king and knows the affiliate marketing needs and requirements more than any other.
Using Squidoo to Rake in Affiliate Income
http://www.squidoocashcow.com

Right now, you are actually using one of the BEST FREE (I love that word) avenues for attracting affiliate income.
Google loves Squidoo and using Squidoo is easy and FUN. Using it masterfully is an art. Someone who has learned the art is Karl Pemberton (I get to rub shoulders with Karl on the Wealthy Affiliate Forums--it's where the big and small affiliate go).
Learning to exploit Squidoo to earn a fantastic affiliate income is an art. The absolutely BEST blueprint out there is Karl's.

I currently use and LOVE Karl's book. It is 165 pages and extremely meaty. If you were to use it along, you'd have a great jumping off point for starting your affiliate marketing ventures.
If you are a lensmaster already, you can use Karl's book to bring more life to your lenses and learn how to do things even better. Me, personally, I am a Squid Giant and I am just hitting the tip of the iceberg with his eBook.
It is quality stuff!
