=====================

I've finally managed to pull myself away for a bit from the
news and goings on surrounding last week's terrible events.

Time to get back to work again.

While dusting off some email I found these interesting bits
of information and a great guest article.

Enjoy!

2.  The best resource for affiliates is still free
==================================================

This weekend I was going through my email doing some cleanup
and looking for useful nuggets of information that I may have
forgotten about or just never got a chance to read.

In my folder called Important! I found the email course that
many, myself included, feel is the best tutorial on earning
from affiliate programs available.

What makes it even nicer is that it is completely free.

When trying to build an affiliate business you absolutely
can't be without it.

In a way I wish it had less information so I wouldn't have
to kill so many trees printing it out. Oh well, I guess I'll
just have to type my notes right in the emails themselves.

Anyway, the course I'm talking about is the 5-day Affiliate
Masters course.

If you've read it in the past you will want to get a newer
copy because it has been revamped to include updated and
more helpful information.

If you have any plans of trying to build an income online,
you should get this course. All you have to do is send a
blank email to tamshelpmakemy@sitesell.net  and they will
send you one section of the course each day for 5 days.

Then you just need to get comfortable and read every word
and commit it to memory (or at least take notes so you can
try the ideas on your own site.)

3.  7 Web Design Tips for Affiliates
    By David McKenzie
============================================


For affiliates running their own web site or thinking of
starting their own web site the following web design tips
should help you convert more visitors into sales.

1. Your main goal as an affiliate is to get people to click
your affiliate links so make it very easy for visitors to click
your affiliate link. You have to actually tell them to click
the link. Have a 'click here' for every affiliate link on your
site.

2. Content. Content. Content. Give visitors what they want -
they want good quality content and lots of it. Articles, tips,
newsletter archives and details of each product or service on
your site.

3. The fewer pictures the better. Lots of graphics slow sites
down and as you are an affiliate you want your visitor to click
your affiliate link. If your web site takes a long time to load
your visitor may just leave and not even get a chance to click
your affiliate link.

4. Use a simple layout with a prominent, easy to find link to
each major page on your site. Complicated sites with lots of
graphics and the latest design features are great in theory but
the keep it simple strategy works best for affiliates.

5. If you offer a newsletter, make it very easy for people to
sign up by having subscribe details on every page of your site.
Also offer a newsletter archives section on your site.

6. For lots of great content use other people's articles on
your site. Ensure these articles fit the theme of your site and
include your affiliate links at the bottom of each page these
articles appear on.

7. Make sure you have a 'Contact Us' page. When you tell people
who you are and how to contact you they will instantly be more
likely to trust you. If they trust you they will click your
affiliate links!

Be constantly looking for the best ways to design your
affiliate web site. Your design should be focused on getting
visitors to click your affiliate links. Better web design means
better results for affiliates.
