The Single Biggest Secret to Profitable Affiliate Marketing on Twitter

by Puppet Master

In this article, I’m about to reveal the real reason why your response rates are so low on Twitter.

I mean… It’s probably a common problem among us marketers. We hear about how easy Twitter is in driving traffic. So we go on Clickbank, Commision Junction or Sponsored Tweets and we start tweeting our offers…

Easy, quick money right?

WRONG! Here’s the puzzling thing. Even though you might be driving tons of traffic. The conversions seem to be middling at best, and non-existent at worst.

Somehow, what the critics say seem to be true. PPC… Blogging… SEO are all better for affiliate marketing…

Twitter is just an overhyped piece of junk.

Well… I say boo to that. I make my living nearly exclusively through Twitter. And affiliate marketing is a large part of my income. So here’s the shocker…

The only reason you’re not making money on Twitter is because you’re doing it wrong.

And you know something? I don’t blame you at all. You see… The problem isn’t a technical one… Or a missing Twitter marketing tool… Or not having the right software…  Here’s the real reason…

The problem is a psychological one.

Sounds way out, doesn’t it? Yet its only when I bridge the mental gap between consumer and affiliate offers did my conversions skyrocket like crazy.

That’s why they call me the Puppet Master… Because I’m borderline obsessed with the persuasion aspects of marketing. And that’s how I get the kind of conversions other marketers envy.

My friends… Let me introduce you to a simple concept known as Frame-Of-Mind Marketing. The fundamentals can be articulated in one sentence:

The more you match your prospect’s frame-of-mind, the higher your response rates will be.

Here’s what it means.

Your prospects are in different frames-of-minds at different points of their online experience.

For example… If they’re checking emails. They do it because they’re in work mode or they’re checking out the latest info either from a friend or a newsletter they subscribed to. That’s why commercial email open rates are plummeting across the world. It’s simply because the emailed person isn’t in a mood to buy.

On the flip side… E-commerce sites are doing roaring business after Black Friday and Cyber Monday… Why? Its because the prospect’s frame-of-mind is DEAL, DEAL, DEAL. They won’t stop until they buy something, anything.

In sharp contrast, when your prospect gets on social media sites like Facebook, Linkedin or Twitter… They’re there to connect and check out the latest viral videos and cool articles. In other words, they sure as heck ain’t thinking about purchasing your newfangled thingamajig.

You probably know where I’m heading…

The worst thing you can do in using Twitter for marketing is to send Tweets that link DIRECTLY to the sales page! That’s why people get turned off when they click through to yet another Clickbank site and send your account to a one-way trip down the Spammer’s blacklist.

If you want to do well on Twitter, your links MUST match your prospect’s Frame of Mind. Well, how do you do that?

Create landing pages that match the “Twitter favourites” your prospects both eagerly click through and retweet. These special pages are the backbone that my Twitter affiliate marketing business is built on. And they’re the SINGLE BIGGEST REASON whether you’ll make 17 sales or no sales at all.

You’ll get these exact same landing page templates that have fueled my affiliate income engine in my brand new product titled True Twitter Riches. It’s my top secret system of making affiliate marketing dollars on Twitter.

Imagine… Won’t it be great to send out a 22 second tweet and make enough commissions to have a nice Christmas holiday in some exotic locale? You’re only 3 seconds away from discovering one of the most surefire ways to make money on Twitter.

The Brutal Truth About Using Twitter for Affiliate Marketing

by Puppet Master

ADMIT IT: Who here is actually successfully using Twitter for affiliate marketing? Who here is actually making a killing with every tweet they put out?

If you’re one of those who sheepishly put up their hands, don’t worry, because you’re not alone.

Frankly… Judging from the kind of terrible affiliate marketing examples plaguing the Tweetasphere, I don’t blame you.

It’s almost like Twitter’s ease-of-use and real-time function is both its biggest blessing and curse. Sending one tweet takes only 20 seconds or less. And making even tens of dollars from such minimal effort seems rather alluring. Yet the end result is a lot of noise and very little conversion. As a result, you get travesties like:

  • Endless bots with sexy fake photos sending endless tweets to random unconnected Clickbank offers…
  • Or those annoying @username messages where you get a supposedly personalized message from strangers that end up with yet another CPA offer…
  • Or one of those Twitter affiliate marketing home study courses that advocate connecting RSS feeds to their Twitter account as the the ultimate way to getting a big fat commission.

It really shows the level of cluelessness in the social media scene, doesn’t it?

I don’t mean to bash my fellow marketers perching on my high horse. Nosiree. After all, I myself was guilty of those sins once upon a time.

And yes, I didn’t exactly get rich using those despised tactics either.

I have since reformed. And I have now tested and tracked my wait to rapid Twitter profitability.

I must confess… I’m not making millions of dollars from using Twitter for affiliate marketing. There are FAR SUPERIOR ways to increasing your bottom line.

Yet done right… You can make a nice supplementary autopilot income on Twitter… Provided you know what to do…

I’ve been working on something that helps the average marketer become a Twitter Superaffiliate. After humiliating trail and error and intense testing and tracking, I have discovered a template for affiliate marketing on Twitter that’s both effective and profitable.

Remember, you could be one tweet away from fattening up your holiday earnings that you can use whatever way you please.

STRATEGIC SOWING: The No. 1 Secret to Becoming a Successful Entrepreneur

by Puppet Master

This is going to be candid blog post.

You see, over the past few months, me and my wife Laura have faced some of the most challenging battles in our short entrepreneurial life.

We were overworked…  Toiling 12 hours straight nearly every day…  And were on the verge of throwing in the towel.

It was as if we were sowing so much seed, yet seeing little fruit for our labor.

Yet 6 weeks ago, on the verge of hitting rock bottom… We stumbled across a startling secret that saved our skins and put us back on the track of rapid profitability.

I’ll reveal what this revolutionary principle is in a moment, for now I just want to lay the foundations.

Here’s a Biblical concept that the world readily agrees it…

“You reap what you sow…”

In other words, the more time, resources and energy you put into something, the bigger the harvest you’ll reap — be it financially, relationally or spiritually.

So if you put in your elbow grease and late nights, you’re guaranteed success right? WRONG!

Or more rather, the Sowing and Reaping analogy is only a half truth.

You see, we followed this principle to the tee… We “slaved like dogs”, yet we were “rewarded” with disappointment, stress and relationship strain.

Have you ever wondered why sometimes you work so hard, and yet don’t seem to reap the bountiful harvest you deserve?

Here’s something that may come as surprise for you…

There’s a missing dimension to the concept of sowing and reaping. If you miss this, you’re potentially setting yourself back months, even years from where you’re supposed to be.

In one of the Biblical parables, Jesus talked about the parable of the sower.

The gist of it was that the farmer was scattering seed across the land. However, he was rather indiscriminate about it and the seeds fell on stony paths, thorny soil, shallow earth and fertile ground.

The seeds that fell on the former 3 types of soil ended up with stunted growth, or worse… Not growing at all.

Here’s the awesome part…

The seed that fell on fertile ground produced a magnificent harvest of tenfold, hundredfold… and even a thousand-fold!

What made the difference?

It’s about WHERE the sower threw his seed.

That’s right. WHERE you sow is probably more important then HOW MUCH you sow.

It’s a principle we call STRATEGIC SOWING. And we believe it’s the single most important trait of mega-successful entrepreneurs.

Once you master this, you’ll get a return on investment that’ll blow your socks off. Because every ounce of blood, sweat and tears is going to give you a windfall.

One of the biggest bittersweet lessons we learned is that Laura and I may be world-class marketers, but we’re still newbies in terms of building a long-term sustainable business.

The single most vital trait that separates entrepreneurs from marketers is the ability to effectively allocate one’s limited resources. Unfortunately, it’s an ability that comes from hard-worn experience rather than any $997 home study course.

But hey, since we’re nice people and all, we’re going to reveal to you the top 5 areas you should strategically sow in (from our admittedly limited experience).

1) Alliances

As maligned as the whole “Guru Club” in our industry seems to be, it doesn’t change the fact that JVs work. In fact, I attribute networking to be the no.1 driver why the Puppet Master is where he is today in such a short time. However… Do note that you need to screen through the people you intend to partner with. Some are a complete waste of time. Some are middling. A few will deliver the breakthrough growth you crave.  Just don’t be over-eager especially if you’re new.

2) Content

As mentioned in an earlier blog post, it’s about articles, articles, articles. Google cares more about frequency of unique content than about the quality. So invest in a reliable ghost writing team, a spinning service like HumanSpinner and submission services like Easy Push Button Traffic, SENuke or Unique Article Wizard. As article marketing guru Jeff Herring says, “the bigger the number of articles, the bigger your other numbers will be.”  So get crankin’.

3) Basics

Ignore the fads out there. Marketers have made pushing your emotional buttons such an art form that they can make any product “the next big thing”. Learn to resist. Stop grabbing at every push-button solution. Most of it is crap. In fact, 90% of what I study seems to be just rehashed information. Master your internet marketing basics.

  • Are you doing PPC?
  • Are your sites optimized properly?
  • Heck… Are you even using the right keywords to promote your site?

As a sidenote, keyword research is the most important skill you need to master. Get this wrong and all your efforts will be flushed down the loo.

4) List

Social media seems to be the craze, but honestly, the best response rates seem to come from the humble email mailing list. Even though open rates may be down industry wide, your autoresponder service is the most potent income-generating asset you may have. Build up the numbers and you can honestly pay off your mortgage, go for a safari in Kenya or buy yourself a new car with just ONE email blast.

Of course, don’t make it a pitchfest and give good content to build up the relationship you have with your list.

5) Character

This may sound surprising, but according to Seth Godin’s excellent blog post on the Hierarchy of Success,  without good character your strategies, tactics and execution are going to fall flat on its face.

I mean… If your mindset is “I’m doing this on the site for some (hopeful) part-time income”, you’re not going to make a million dollars online, are you? I knew a guy who was eager to learn so I hooked him up with some of my $1997 products. Guess what? Because he has such a crappy attitude, he’s now worse off than where he started. Read the Bible or listen to Dan Sullivan (my entrepreneurial guru du jour).

Whew, that comes to the close of my rather lengthy blog spot. Hope the Strategic Sowing principle impacts your business the way it did for the Puppet String Marketing business.

As an aside, I’m going to introduce something remarkable that’s worth the strategic sowing. I may not be the biggest fan of its title or its positioning but the principles inside contain some of the biggest shortcuts to running a super-profitable business.

Indeed, what I’m about to introduce is fertile soil, and every dollar you sow in WILL result in a bountiful harvest if you do what it says. Just opt-in to my mailing list by clicking on the button below to get further details soon.

So back to this post… What do you folks think? What are the biggest areas of strategic sowing you think I might have missed out? Feedback is most welcome, as always. :)
