So how many times have you seen someone offer you a
free trial of something or other, but to get started
you need to provide a credit card number, or use your
PayPal account to sign up.
A lot of services or products even ask that you pay
ONLY $1 to start any sort of trial and act as if you
are getting an incredible value.
But what they are really doing is getting your credit
card number or PayPal account locked into their auto
re-billing feature and hiding behind their real motive
simply by telling you that it is for your convenience.
It is a well known fact that many people who offer
products or services are making more money due simply
to people forgetting to cancel these auto re-bills.
Now I'm not in any way speaking for all marketers.
Many do in fact provide great value and are trying to
make things easier, but it is also an overly abused
marketing tactic to make the product or service owner
a lot of extra recurring income.
You see a lot of unethical marketers know that most
of the time you will forget about the trial and a few
months later you will finally notice that you have been
charged XX dollars every month. Guess who makes a pile
of money that way. That's not cool man.
So it is something to watch out for when signing up
to any free trials of anything.
On a total flip side, here's an example of a guy who
has an insanely good free trial offer, but you don't
have to give your credit card or PayPal account up
front. It's just a free trial, because he believe it
works and is not hiding behind anything!
Go Here For Your Trial
It's a no obligations 90 Day Free Trial of what's
called the Smart Subscriber marketing system. His name
is Ian and he's been an online marketer for over a
decade and claims he will make you money through
affiliate commissions just to prove his service is
worth paying for!
With no credit cards or PayPal account stuff upfront,
I'd say that's a pretty rock solid and safe free trial.

5 Affiliate Marketing Mistakes Almost Everyone Makes
Affiliate marketing can be highly profitable and the best thing about
it is that you don't need a product or advanced shopping cart system to
make money online. Affiliate marketing is all about recommending
someone else's product and receiving the commissions.
While the concept is simple, people usually make some mistakes that rob them of affiliate success. Let's see what the most popular mistakes are and how to avoid them:
1. Lack of solid strategy
Most people just run from opportunity to opportunity looking for some kind of magic button that will make them rich in an instance. Sorry, that's not going to happen. You need to develop a strategy and then focus on it. Does a word persistence tell you anything? Find a good course, develop a plan, make sure that it is aimed for long-term results and then stick to it. I know, it sounds like work. But who said affiliate marketing isn't work?
2. Not having a website and opt-in list
Your website is your property. Setting it up is not hard with technology we have today. Use WordPress. Get your own domain. Stick to one niche, of course. And then set up an optin form. Website SEO should be an important part of your strategy. Yes, setting up a website won't guarantee you 1000s of daily visitors on autopilot. You'll have to work on that. But imagine having a list that is growing daily and brings you steady monthly income. It's definitely worth an effort.
3. Promoting everything under the sun
Ok, don't be shocked. Have you thought of buying the product you're promoting? You should. Get it, read it, use it. See if it's good. If it's good - recommend it. You won't have to sell it, just write your own review and results. If it's bad - get a refund and move on.
Develop a collection of high-quality golden products. There should be no more than 5-7. It would be perfect if they would be complimentary and not in direct competition. Then just promote them on the constant basis on your website and to your list.
4. Failing to track
How do you know if you are successful or not if you don't track your results? Track everything you can. Use Google Analytics for your website and study your visitors pattern. Track your clicks. Track ads. Definitely track your affiliate program performance. Based on your finding you will be able to improve your strategy and get more profit.
5. Failure to invest
Affiliate marketing is a business. And it requires investment. You need to invest in domain, hosting, good autoresponder, but most important - invest in knowledge. Find solid programs and study them. Learn from others. Study different strategies, combine them, and apply them! Treat it like a serious business. Only in this case it will bring you serious income. "Enjoy Your Coffee"
