3 Necessary Tools for the High Rolling Affiliate Marketer
What does it take to become a successful Affiliate Marketer? What are the ingredients of an affiliate marketing success story? Is there a shortcut to Affiliate Marketing glory? All these questions play around in the minds of affiliate marketers who want to make it big in this business.
Although affiliate marketing is touted as one of the easiest and most effective ways to earn money online, it is not as easy as it sounds. The wise affiliate marketer plans every action and executes it the best way he can. He should also maximize the potential to earn by utilizing the right tools necessary for a successful Affiliate Marketing business. We have consulted some of the most successful affiliate marketers in the business and below are the top three necessary tools for a successful affiliate marketing business.
Important Tool #1: Your Own Website
The most important and indispensable tool in Affiliate Marketing is your own website. The first step in any successful affiliate marketing business is building a good, credible and professional looking website. Your website is the jump off point of all your marketing efforts. Thus, you must first build a user-friendly website, which will appeal to your prospects and encourage them to click on the links to the products and service you are promoting and make a purchase. Therefore, you must first concentrate your efforts in building a website that will cater to what your prospects need.
The most important thing you should consider is that almost all web users go online to look for information, not necessarily to go and buy something. Above all else, make your website full of original, relevant and useful content. People will love articles that are appealing and helpful. Keep in mind that, in the internet, content is still king and good quality content will not only build your credibility, it can also help you achieve a higher search engine ranking. By posting relevant and useful articles, you establish yourself as a credible expert in the field, making you a more trustworthy endorser of the product or service you promote. Establishing a good reputation is a good step in building up a loyal consumer base.
Important Tool #2: Incentives
Competition is extremely tight in the internet world. You must always be one-step ahead of your rivals to ensure that you capture a significant share of your target market. Therefore, you must use every possible means to encourage people not only to visit your site but also to click and proceed to the websites of the products and services you are promoting. Building an opt-in email list is one of the best ways to gather prospects. Offer a newsletter or an e-zine. Better yet, offer incentives to your prospects to encourage them to subscribe to your newsletters. You can present free softwares, access to exclusive services and other freebies that will be helpful to your prospects.
Important Tool #3: Link Popularity
The importance of driving highly targeted traffic to your website cannot be emphasized enough. The all-important web traffic is at the top of the list of the most important entities in the internet world. Attracting people to your site should be the first step you should carry out. Do everything to achieve a high search engine ranking. Link Popularity is one of the factors that search engines use to determine search engine rankings. Therefore, to enhance your link popularity, you must launch an aggressive reciprocal link campaign.
One of the best ways to do this – at no cost at all – is by submitting articles, with your website's link at the resource box, to e-zines and free article sites. You will not only gain exposure, you will also have the opportunity to advertise for free, just include a link back to your site. The more sites you submit your articles to, the better your link popularity is. Make your articles original, relevant and useful so that more websites will pick it up and post it.
These are but three of the many tools that an affiliate marketer can use to maximize earning potential. The possibilities are endless and are limited only by your imagination, creativity, resourcefulness and determination. You can always explore other ideas and adapt other strategies, which you think might help you become a high rolling affiliate marketer.

Big Ticket depot News
Good Morning Team,
**The FireWorks are About to Start**
While the 4th of July is over a month away, the Fireworks at BigTicket and BigValue Depot are about to start. As you know or should know we launched the BigTicketDepot store last week. What you don't know is everything else we have been doing which we will soon be announcing. What is happening and more importantly what is about to happen is going to be historical.
YOU as a 300 Elite team member will soon see that you made the right decision to be on this team. Now that both BVD and BTD are live we are ready to unleash everything we have put together for the extensive marketing campaigns which are about to take place.
For the few that didn't believe in our vision and chose to quit, I feel for you more than you know. However my focus is for those that did believe and are here with us TODAY. You have the vision and KNOW that VISION is about to become REALITY.
Mark my words right NOW. BTD and BVD will become a household name for people selling online this year. In my previous communication, I stated you had bought stock in what we are doing with BTD and BVD wether you knew it or not. The online selling market is primed for a new player to come to the table. We already know this through more testing and communication with EBAY sellers than you can imagine. What we have put together with BTD and BVD is the answer they are looking for.
**Question of the Week**
I have received so many incredible emails over the past week since we made the initial announcement that the BTD store was live congratulating us on achieving this historical milestone. I want to thank all of you as you know we have now completed the circle which will now catapult both BVD and BTD into the future.
While we made the BTD store live many of you have emailed me asking if you can market to BTD clients. Well it is official, the Green Light is on. Yes you can promote the BTD store as well as list any BigTicket items you may have to list. We also want your feedback on the BTD store as this will help us with the other many enhancements we are working on.
The bottom line is this. We already know through our initial beta testing of the launch of the BVD store what has been working. Over 900 BVD clients already and we haven't even pushed a fraction of the marketing buttons and tools we are about to enable you with. We will apply all of that to the BTD store and between the two will take the internet selling industry by storm.
**BTD/BVD Support Ticket System**
The new BTD and BVD support ticket system will go live either today or tomorrow. Support for your BTD and BVD clients is going to be vital as we move forward. When we throw the switch there will be a new support Icon in both your BTD and BVD client back office. All BTD and BVD clients will also have this icon which will then take them to the new support ticket system.
We tested multiple support ticket system software applications and believe the one we chose is going to deliver the optimum in support to your BTD/BVD clients.
**Get READY**
We have climbed a mountain to get to where we are at right now. While we have not reached the summit, it is right within our grasp. What we are doing right now will take us to the summit of the mountain. From there we will all prosper as BTD and BVD will continue to climb new mountain peaks.
As you know from our last communication, there are even more announcements we are going to make. I hope you are ready for an upcoming communication from our CEO Joel Sauceda. We would not be here if it was not for his vision when we started this journey with BTD and then BVD. It was this vision and your commitment to this team that is going to help us reach the peak of the mountain.
There is no stopping us now. YOU as a 300 Elite team member are along for the ride of your life. So buckle yourself in, You have not seen anything yet.
Have an awesome day.
