I’ve been trying to become ultra focused since spare time to work my business seems to be in short supply these days. So, I’m doing what I know works best for me - affiliate marketing! There’s been a lot of buzz around Market Leverage in the past few weeks from several of the blogs I follow. So, I figured I’d add them to my portfolio of affiliate networks and so far I really like what I’m seeing!

First off, they’re not much like Commission Junction or Clickbank (which is not to say I don’t enjoy those networks as well). Its just that there’s a personal touch and a sense of exclusivity about them that makes them seem a bit special. Market Leverage will not approve your application unless they speak with you first by phone. Now, this isn’t the first time I’ve had to go through a mini-interview process to get my publisher application approved, but it always makes me feel better about the network when they require this. I think it definitely shows they want to deal with serious affiliates and that they take the time to be sure they understand your plans for using their network so that they can better assist you in reaching your goals. During my conversation, Steve asked whether affiliate marketing was my full time job. I replied, “No, unfortunately, I’m not quite there yet.” To which he replied, “Well, we can help you get there!” Awesome!

Here are some great things about Market Leverage:

• Publishers receive their payment via FedEx. No waiting around for a check!
• They offer a lifetime referral bonus program (5% on those you refer).
• They provide some great affiliate tools, like optimized rotators and sub-id tracking.
• They have a ton offers to choose from - both cost per lead and cost per sale.
• They’ve got a cool show called MLTV that keeps you up to date on all the good stuff. Check it out below:

Mistakes to Avoid as an Affiliate

Making money online as an affiliate is a great way to increase your monthly earnings. If you already have a web site up and running you should start with doing some research on who your visitors are. If you don’t know this you won’t be able to match the content on your site with an affiliate program. At least not in a successful manner. The affiliate program you choose to promote should have quality products or if not your referrals will feel cheated and not buy anything nor visit your site again. There are a few classic mistakes people tend to do in affiliate marketing which we will present in this blog post.

Who Visits Your Web Site?

It is often said that affiliate marketing is an extremely easy way to make money and this is perhaps not entirely true. While it’s a great opportunity to make money it still takes some effort. You can’t just put up any ad on your site and expect to become a millionaire. The first thing you should do is to find out who visits your website. If you compare the average age and interests of your visitors with the content on your page you’ll be able to find out what makes them visit your site.

If you know your visitors the next step will be easier: knowing what product or service to promote. Your visitors must click on the affiliate ads in order for you to make some money. As there lots of them you also need to compare the affiliate programs on the market. What type of commission are they offering and what suits you and you site the best?

Promoting The Wrong Product

Many affiliates promote the wrong products on their sites. If it is web hosting your site is about you really should compare web hosting affiliate programs and choose between these. If the products you promote don’t match your site you won’t be able to promote their benefits in a good way.

Less is More

Some affiliates tend to think that the more products they promote the more money they’re going to make. Nothing could be further from the truth. Instead of spreading out advertising on many products from several different affiliate programs you should focus all your energy on a single ad. Doing so will immensely increase your possibilities to some of the affiliate money.
