Hi everybody,

I’d say this post is just important to your online business career. If you don’t overcome this dangerous obstacle, you won’t make any real money online.

I really learnt it the hard way.

Sadly, 90 percent of online marketers are doing things that will prevent them from ever achieving their goals:

They have no plan. They love (and fall victim to) products that promise them huge rewards with little or no efforts. They always hop from one “big opportunity” that can make “a lot of cash” to another. They only care, “can I make money with this?” So today is eBay, tomorrow is Adsense, and yesterday it was another hot concept (but already forgotten by them).

Do you get what I mean?

If you followed my previous post, you will already get my concept that it’s crucial to have income sources that give you passive income over and over again.

And if you missed it, here’s the article again:

As I mentioned, a majority of your efforts in Internet Marketing should be targeted at generating a recurring or residual income.

And here are my 5 surefire tips to help you squeeze the most of your recurring affiliate programs.

1) Promote high value, qualified products

The first rule does not only affect recurring commission products, but also applies to any affiliate products you’re promoting.

Remember, it is the benefits your referred customers receive to warrant them to continue investing in their recurring products.

2) Squeeze more money with closed-door affiliate programs.

Closed-door affiliate programs are those that require you to buy their products to be their affiliates. You are not going to be charged an arm and a leg to join; but you do need to find the good ones to join.

Here’s something you may not know about closed-door affiliate programs. They are generally to convert better!

Because you get lower chances of “getting crashed”- Ouch, another dude’s promoting exact the same product to your prospects!

There’s also less chance for Internet pickpockets to steal your affiliate commissions by simply replacing your affiliate links with theirs, because only customers get permissions to promote the products.

“But you’re kidding me! It cost me money to join an affiliate program?!”

Well, many public affiliate programs pay you less money (for example, they may not pay you on backend sales) or not convert as well as the closed-door ones, so this all balances out.

In life it’s hard to break the “sowing / reaping” principle, the “you get what you pay for” rule.

3) Pick out services that existing customers unlikely to stop recurring subscriptions

Impossible? Okay, I’ll show you some. Most products of this kind are technical related services.

As you know, I promoted a site called 3waylinks in my previous newsletter. It is a service that can help your sites rank well in Google. Each of the sites gets 250 “one-way” backlinks, which will have a great impact on search engine rankings, especially for Google.

So what if the member stops his recurring payment? The “one-way” backlinks will get disappeared immediately the day his account expires.

Another good example is Viral Link Tracker, a nice tool that can cloak affiliate links, track signups & sales conversions.

Think about it. When people got all their cloaked affiliate links spread on the Internet, do you consider they will ever think of canceling the service and make all their links invalid?

4) Bonus bribery strategy

This strategy is so simple but works. Offer your prospects some bonuses if they sign up under you rather than others!

How many resale rights products do you have in your hard disk? I guess a dozen of, right? Pick out the ones that related to the recurring products you’re promoting.

Ask your referrals to provide you their payment receipts and give them your resale products bonuses to download.

5) Help your referrals to benefit more!

After some time of hard promotion, you probably get quite a few referred recurring customers. And as you may noticed, many of these recurring affiliate programs allow you to contact with your referrals. Make use of this powerful feature! Introduce yourself to them, share your tips, make friends with them and get them stay longer for their subscriptions.

It’s not as hard as you think - show your personal experience with that recurring product, how you take advantage of it, how you benefit from it. Your referral will be truly thankful to you for helping them and more loyal.

Here I list the exact recurring commission products that I make money with:

3WayLinks

Private label club (this one converts like crazy!)

IMBuzz Software

Viral Link Tracker

Free Traffic Bar (get very high qualified traffic from this program)

Viralized

LeadsLeap (my pro ad gets more than 400 clicks every month)

I’m always pleased to hear what you think of residual income affiliate marketing here. Just comment and share your thoughts below.

As a veteran online marketer, I know affiliate marketers who start off quite successfully, making 1000s of bucks by promoting affiliate products.

But within another couple of months, their incomes are back down to break even, and they find it tough to maintain their earlier success.

And on the other hand, the smart guys know that long term survival in affiliate marketing comes by promoting products that pay recurring. They promote the product one time, but the income from the promotion is recurring that they can grow their commissions month on month.

Especially as an affiliate marketer, this can be critical to your survival.

Whenever I talk with people who CLAIM to work hard from the comfort of their homes, I wonder if it is really necessary.

I know many online marketers are spending most of the time just in forums, refreshing their merchant accounts, browsing unnecessary sites…

Has this ever happened to you?

Seriously, working smart is different from working hard. There are also many people who don’t have to work HARD at all, YET they are living very comfortable.

“Working Smart” means you put your heart and energy on getting things done. Instead of putting in 18 hours a day, you could work much less by being as efficient as possible. You don’t need to spend your time dealing with the chores 24/7.

Because we are all being given 168 hours a week.

Regardless whether we like it or not, the ONLY way you can get the most out of your time would be by working as efficient as possible.

But before I jump into the details, let me ask you a question…

Do you already have your business running on auto-pilot?

Here’s the real truth: a lot of things in the Internet marketing business are things you really don’t have to do one at a time and by-hand.

You need to put your business on autopilot as much as you can.

Set your business up and run by itself so you can concentrate on marketing instead. Because once you have one project done, you can start another and make it hands-free as well.

And on the other hand, if you don’t systematize this area of your business, you’ll soon find out all of these details are too overwhelming to handle manually.

I strongly encourage you to try JVManager, the all-in-one system building process here:

You know, I personally spend a lot of money on software mainly because right software can save you a lot of time and make your life much easier.

All these programs reduce my work and give me more time to play violin and other things I love.

Believe me, I can say with no exaggeration that JVManager is one of the most powerful business systems in the whole Internet marketing history, ever.

It systematizes your business by controlling all the email follow up, lead capture, payment processing, affiliate payment, secure downloads, one-time offers, membership site management and much more chores in one place.
