Think of banner ads as the spice in your affiliate diet. Sprinkle them around, but for a heartier helping of sales, you’ll need something more solid! Learn to give your visitors longer, more descriptive pre-sales text. Revamp your affiliate advertising using these simple steps:

* Pull the Reader in
* Introduce the Product
* Explain the Product’s Significance
* Tell the Reader to Make a Purchase

Pull the Reader in
To convince your audience that your text is worth reading, make your first sentence or two very interesting. Make a bold statement, say something seemingly ridiculous, or appeal to your prospect’s emotional side. Then, tie this grabber in with the rest of your copy.

Introduce the Product
What is the product you’re advertising? What does it do? Directly after your grabber, give a compact explanation of your product. Keep this explanation short, while still being very clear. This should still be a very short section of your text.

Explain the Product’s Significance
What will it do for me?

By writing your own copy, you can directly target your unique audience. Make the most of this opportunity! Clearly explain how your readers will benefit from this product.

No one knows your audience like you do. Suggest a variety of product uses just for them, and give examples. This is the time for details - make this section long and rich.

Tell the Reader to Make a Purchase
You’ve come so far - you’ve laid out exactly what the product is and how it will help your unique audience. Now, seal the deal - tell your readers to purchase the product! Include your affiliate link in this section.

This step may sound strange, but it’s necessary. Often, people hear about a product and are genuinely interested, but fail to actually make a purchase. A clear call to a simple action cuts down on buyer ambivalence. Don’t be pushy - just change your verb tenses to the imperative. Instead of:

“If you think that you fit this profile, you might want to think about buying this product.”

Say: “Click here to order an account today.”

Drive Sales - Use Long Copy
If you don’t feel ready to write long copy yourself, ask your affiliate program manager for help! Many companies release well-written articles by respected authors that you can reprint free of charge.

The novelty of the Web is wearing off. People online now are busy. Surfers won’t make a purchase unless you make a great case for what they’ll get out of it. And you’re not going to do that with just a banner ad.

Hi…

See, I’ve been pestering Derek Gehl — a friend of mine and head of the ‘Net’s most successful marketing business — to let me test out their affiliate management software.

(Since they spent 8 months and over $248,000+ developing AssocTRAC, I’ve been pretty eager to get my hands on it!)

And because AssocTRAC contains all the exact tools any business needs to instantly harness the true profit-generating power of an affiliate program, I was pretty blown away by what Derek just told me…

He genuinely wants you to prove to yourself that ANYONE can make money with an affiliate program — so he wants to give ALL my subscribers the opportunity to test it risk-free for the next 90 days!

(FYI: This is the exact same solution that he himself uses to manage the 70,000+ affiliates who generated more than $1.8 million last year alone!)

So for the next three months you will be able to advertise your business on every corner of the Web at no charge, with hundreds, even thousands, of affiliates driving traffic and sales to your web site by personally recommending your products and services to their subscribers!

You’ll also be able to stop paying for ineffective advertising (since you ONLY pay your affiliates when they make a sale for you)…

And I think you’ll be impressed by how easy it is to set up and use!

Derek’s confident that once you are up and running with one of the most advanced affiliate tracking systems ever created, and when your profits have skyrocketed, you won’t see any other solution but to keep using AssocTRAC… and that’s why he’s agreed to let me make this offer to you.

To learn how you can test-drive one of the most powerful viral marketing tools available and start your own affiliate program at a fraction of the regular cost, go to:

This is a limited-time offer. In 3 days it will no longer be available, so do not hesitate!

All the best…

P.S. Personally, I think Derek’s a little nuts to let just ANYONE use his software and systems for 90 days at such a drastic discount, with absolutely no risk. But I guess that just proves how confident he is that AssocTRAC can help grow your business…

So it’s finally up to you to take action (not risk) and try the exact same marketing strategy that is responsible for the success of almost every major e-business on the Internet today! Visit this link now to get started:
