Traffic and Trust: The Beginner Affiliate Marketing Guide
If you’re ready to take affiliate emarketing seriously, you must check out Traffic and Trust.
I partnered up with the New York Times beset-selling author Chris Brogan and created this awesome resource for you. This isn’t just another beginners affiliate guide either.
In this 74 page resource, you’ll learn:
- How to identify potential market opportunities like a super affiliate.
- You will be shown how smart affiliates target the low hanging fruit or customers that are already in “buying mode” for easy profit.
- You will learn how to setup advanced tracking to see what pages are making you money and which pages aren’t.
- You will learn how the best bloggers and taste makers continue to grow their audience.
- You will learn how good affiliates use transitive trust to increase sales.
And more but if that wasn’t enough, you’ll get access to:
- A one-of-a-kind detailed planning guide to hold your hand through the planning phase.
- After you have gone through the planning guide you can use the blueprint to bring your affiliate dreams to reality.
Additionally, as an added bonus, I recorded 4 awesome affiliate marketing videos recorded straight from Cusco, Peru – right outside Machu Picchu.
I’m currently traveling the world right now, but I spent some extra time on these videos to tie everything together for you.
You absolutely can’t miss them as they help you tackle the major hurdles associated with getting started online.
If you are looking to get started in affiliate marketing you simply can’t miss Traffic and Trust, but don’t take my word for it check out the early press Traffic and Trust is getting by industry professionals such as Sugarrae, Shawn Collins, Jonathan Fields,
Willie Jackson, Adam Baird, and Sal Greco.

Register Your Username on Social Media Sites & get Backlinks
Be a TOP user on a bagillion social sites! OK, maybe just a user
One of the first things I’d recommend doing after launching your site (or even right after you come up with your brand name) is to go out and register your username on the top social media sites. This is great for both reputation management and to start participating in relevant communities.
One awesome tool to see if your brand name or desired username is available is KnowEm.com (Knowem Review). It’s a free username lookup tool for hundreds of sites. You can also pay them to go out do the leg work for you on over 100 sites (which is great since it takes a LOT of time to do this manually). More on that later.
If you think hundreds of sites might be overkill (or would consume your whole next month) I would recommend you get usernames for these sites, listen in what I think is the order of most importance:
Youtube
Flickr
Delicious
Stumbleupon
Facebook (not a username, but setup a page. You need at least 25 fans before you can choose a vanity username/url for your page)
Digg
Ustream
MySpace (I put it last on the list because I think it sucks – but hey, it’s still popular)
A few top niche sites that are in your category (you can find them here: 10e20, Tropical SEO, Vladimir’s Alexa list, Dosh Dosh, KnowEm, Wikipedia)
LinkedIn if you are a individual. More info on LinkedIn Marketing.
I used Knowem for abroadening.com earlier this year – the $99 plan. It saved me a lot of time, but I also had to click over 100 confirmation emails and unsubscribe to some of the newsletters a few of the registrations signed me up for.
This time around – for hotshotphoto I went with the $250 corporate plan for the full knowem service. They upload your photos, complete bios, and take care of all the email confirmations.
If you’re boostrapping this thing and don’t want to spend the money, go ahead and register with the sites above yourself. It just takes a lot more time. At the bare minimum register for Twitter and Youtube and get a Facebook fan page together.

HOW TO CREATE THE BEST SPEAKER DEMO VIDEO
Speaker Demo Video Tips
One of the most important tools you can have for promoting your speaking career is a professional, informational demo video. Even well-know personalties benefit from having a good demo video. Here are some tips to making your demo video impactful and helpful for event planners:
One of the most important tools you can have for promoting your speaking career is a professional, informational demo video. Even well-know personalties benefit from having a good demo video. Here are some tips to making your demo video impactful and helpful for event planners:
- Be sure to have at least 2 consecutive minutes of you speaking before an audience.
- Make your video personable, cleanly edited and straight forward. Do not make it like a commercial with too many flashy graphics, sound effects and gimmicky editing techniques. This is not a movie trailer. Answer the questions: How will you make the event planner's audience rave about your presentation? How will you make the event planner look brilliant for booking you?
- Introduce your expertise, testimonials, books authored and media clips but do not make this the bulk of your video. At the most, feature this information for 30 - 60 seconds. Your written marketing materials should spotlight this information. Event planners are viewing your demo video to see your presentation style.
- Use professionally video taped presentation clips. Make sure the sound is good and that the video quality is light (err on the light side - many video clips are too dark for computer viewing), sharp and color corrected.
Ideal Video Timeline:
- First 30-45 seconds: grab your viewer's attention quickly with professional graphics, introducing how and what you will do for your audience. Tell why you are an expert at what you do, show quick clips of your best speaking moments and answer the question "Why should you be booked, rather than someone else?"
- Next two minutes: show an extended, consecutive clip of you speaking before an audience. Make sure the clip makes sense and is in context. Not just a random story or "fluff." Interaction with the audience, humor and some cutaways of audience reactions can be powerful.
- Most event planners will only watch the first few minutes of a demo video, so effectively you are done at this point. But, you can fill-out your demo video with more client video testimonials, expand on your credentials, more media & presentation clips, etc.. You can also put another 1 to 2 minute speaking clip taped at a different venue at the end.
- Keep in mind that most speakers bureaus will not want your contact information showing at the end of your video. You might want to have two versions: one you can send speakers bureaus with something like "Please contact your speakers bureau for booking information" and one with your contact information to send clients directly.
