On March 18th Doug Champigny held a webinar titled ‘Super Affiliate Success Strategies’. If you follow me on Twitter, you would have seen that I promoted it on all of my Twitter accounts. Why? Because it was that important!

There were a couple of things that set this webinar apart from many that you may have attended, aside from the fact that you were getting Affiliate Marketing Strategies from a Super Affiliate. One was the level of content. Doug held everyone’s attention with strategies and ideas for improving your affiliate marketing program that cut straight to the chase. No fluff, no time outs.

I got 6 pages of notes from this webinar! Doug broke things down to 3 basic phases; Phase One, Doug discussed what Affiliate Marketing is and what it is not. He talked about the using affiliate directories, the types of products available and how to choose which is best for your particular market.

Phase Two is running your business. Doug covered list building, branding yourself and your authority status. The biggest mistakes that most affiliates make. Setting up your confirm and download pages correctly and using your affiliate tool, such as blogging, social media, audio and video and the ‘Lost Marketing Tools’.

Phase Three is the more advanced strategies and tools. Setting up marketing funnels for yours or someone else’s products. How to use and be part of Joint Ventures, Product Launches and Live Events. How to keep your business from becoming a J.O.B. using planning and automation strategies in basic steps and once these are in place, set up new ones. Doug also covered his ‘No Net Cost’ process for getting the best tools available to run your business.

The second thing that set Doug’s webinar apart from others. When the webinar started, there were over 150 attendees. Over two and a half hours later, there were still 150 attendees present on the call. Yes! Still one hundred and fifty. Holding the attention of that many people for that long, and these persons not be in a closed room, is just a testimony in itself as to the quality of what Doug was teaching.

Well, I know that you hate that you missed it! But, all is not lost to you. He has created an 8 week coaching program to teach you, in detail, all of the things I mentioned and a whole lot more. It’s called PowerStart Affiliate Marketing Coaching. This is another in a line of programs under the PowerStart Marketing umbrella, which began with the 4Week intensive PowerStart 2010 Internet Marketing Coaching and Mentoring Program.

The deadline for registering for the April session of the the PowerStart Affiliate Marketing Coaching has been extended through tomorrow night, April 6. I strongly urge you to go and get registered for this program if you are doing or considering doing any Affiliate Marketing as a business model.

I mean really, where else would you go to get Affiliate Marketing Coaching except from a Super Affiliate?

Remember, ‘You Are Successful!’

Our guest expert for today’s segment was Doug Champigny. Doug was a veteran of marketing and advertising even before coming online full time in 1997. Doug is a full time Internet Marketer, Affiliate Marketer, mentor, speaker and an expert at creating wealth and helping others do the same.

Doug shared some excellent insights with us about beginning steps for someone either just entering into an online business or someone with a business that just can’t seem to pull it together.

Some of the things that we talked about were steps to picking a niche to market to. Consider something that you enjoy and have fun with. You could hardly expect to do your best with something that you don’t particularly like.

Affiliate marketing is about the least expensive start up of most online business opportunities. It provides you, the affiliate, with the opportunity to build a business selling products. But, you are doing it without the responsibilities of customer service, warehousing and the shipment of products.

And we talked about the important difference between having a business and that of having a sustainable business. A business that will continue to work, even if you decide to take a few weeks off.

In the area of product creation, Doug suggests 1) PLR products that you sell as is, and 2) PLR products that you convert to your own. He stresses though, that you must first have a laser focus on list building and traffic generation, then the product creation.

We talked about Doug’s “No Net Cost” theory in the purchasing of products and services for your business. When you consider a product or service, look for one that has Private Label Rights that allow you resell the product, something like software. Or something that has an affiliate program, like hosting and autoresponders.

Then you have the best tool basically at “No Net Cost”, since it pays for itself.

When you are creating a product from a PLR to sell as your own, there are several things that you will need to do. Including, changing book covers, sales pages and content, to make them your own. Doug has an excellent set of PLR Video Tutorials that takes you through this process easily.

Now for the big one! Doug is a mentor and business coach. But, this has traditionally been basically by invitation to someone who has shown ability, but needs direction.

Well, he has decided to go public with a 4-week intensive training course that begins February 1^st. This course will take you step-by-step from zero to a real working business in one month. It’s called the PowerStart 2010 Coaching Course.

Registration for the February course is until January 25^th. Then, on the 26^th, registration begins for the March course. Along with that will come a $200 increase in your tuition. He has not put a limit on the number of people who can get in, only the registration period.

There simply is no other course like this available. I’ll be there, myself, I hope that you are also.

And speaking of ‘there’, Doug is on his way to be a presenter at Mark Hendricks’ Internet Super Stars Conference in Orlando. You can still register for that until tomorrow night. Now, before you begin to say, “Orlando! But that’s so far!”, let me say this. Doug and Teri are driving down there. You know they live in Canada, right!

Thanks so much for your time. I hope that you have found this useful.

Oops! I nearly forgot. I apologize for the dead air at the beginning of the recording. Technical difficulties of some sort.

Thanks!

Jim
