10 Great Ways To Make Money From The Burn The Fat Affiliate Program

There are many great ways you can promote the BURN THE FAT E-book on your site, blog, or in your e-zine:

1) Write an endorsement about the results you achieved using the system. If you have used, or are currently using the Burn The Fat program to lose weight/body fat, this is s great strategy for promoting the ebook as an affiliate. By writing a short endorsement, testimonial, and/or success story about the results you achieved (how much weight/fat you lost, etc.), and sending it out to your e-mail list, the sales can be much higher than any other promotional method, especially if you use pictures! Three of my favorite sites are www.mikeogorek.com, www.jeffthejock.com, and www.shreddedmuscle.com. Mike’s transformation is truly inspiring and the way Jeff photographed himself in “time-lapse” sequence is amazing. John at shredded muscle.com also has a truly impressive before and after photo sequence.

2) Write your own book review or endorsement. After you've read the e-book, write your own "book review" (in your own words) explaining what you liked about the book and why everyone should get a copy.

3) Use a simple text link. Anywhere that you would put a regular link to www.burnthefat.com (like on your links page, or anywhere that you would even casually mention the burn the fat website), simply replace the normal link with your special affiliate link that contains your nickname. The more you link, the better because it gives your readers more than one opportunity to click through at various places in an article or on a web page.

4) Use banner ads and book cover graphics. Put banners, BFFM book covers or other graphics on high traffic pages of your website and you can get excellent click through rates. We provide some banners and you can even design your own. We have recently redesigned our book covers and the new covers are HOT! Make sure your affiliate link is properly set in the cover or banner HTML code. Make a note: graphics – especially book covers – work best when combined with reviews, classified ads and other text. Sales copy plus graphics is a winning combination.

5) Run "Sponsor ads" in your e-zine. If you choose, you can simply say that "Burn The Fat, Feed the Muscle" is the "sponsor" of your e-zine and place a short classified in the e-zine. In other words, the money you earn from selling the e-book will cover your publishing expenses and “makes your e-zine possible. We have numerous short classified ads posted in the “text ads” section of the BurnThe Fat affiliate area.

6) Place short classified ads in your e-zine. A short classified ad in your e-zine is an extremely effective way to make money with this program. The more enticing and curiosity-invoking the ad is, the more people will click through and the more money you'll make. These classified ads can be as long as several paragraphs or as short as a single sentence (if it piques your reader's curiosity well). Write your own or use the sample ads in our affiliate area.

7) Put an ad in the “products” section of your website. If you already sell products from your web site, or if you have any kind of online store, just add a section for the BURN THE FAT e-book in your "products for sale" area with an enticing description or summary of the book, then send them off to the burnthefat.com website through your affiliate link. If you don't have any products for sale yet, this could be your first. (If you have a website, you might as well be making money from it!)

8) If you have a newsletter or mailing list, send a solo email. The single most effective marketing strategy is an email joint venture promotion where you send a "solo email" (an entire email dedicated to promoting the Burn The Fat ebook). We have seen absolutely staggering sales results from solo email promotions that are done correctly. The catch is that you must have your own opt-in mailing list/newsletter. If you have a mailing list and you are interested in a solo email promotion, please check the "solo e-mail" section of this affiliate area for sample email promotions and definitely contact me personally so we can coordinate together on a promotion. I can often arrange special one-time limited offer promotions specifically for your e-mail list offering special bonuses, add-ons, multi-product packages or other extra incentives. Note: If you don't have a mailing list, then start building one! put an opt in form on your website and start an ezine. It's an internet marketing maxim that "the money is in the list" (and the relationship you build with your list).

9) Use our FREE article library to add fitness content to your web site. The Tom Venuto website (www.tomvenuto.com) and the Burn The Fat Blog (www.burnthefatblog.com) contain hundreds of articles and Q & A columns which may be reprinted on your site. Most of these articles are original material written, owned and published by Tom Venuto, the author of the BURN THE FAT e-book. Many website owners are not writers and are often in need of new content. As a BURN THE FAT affiliate, you can use our articles absolutely free on your website.

Because so much of my content has been spread across many different websites in the past, we will be consolidating every article and every Q & A column I have ever published right here in the Burn The Fat.Com affiliate area. (see the links for "articles" and "Q & A" under "reprintable content" here in the burn the fat.com affiliate area. check back often as we will be updating this content area frequently until the archives are complete.

At the end of the article you use, simply add a credit line or resource box that mentions the e-book and place your link (and a little "sales pitch") after it: For example:

10) BLOG! Blogging has been all the rage in the last couple of years and doesn’t look like its going anywhere soon. If you have a blog, that is a perfect way to promote the Burn the Fat program.

Simply mention www.burnthefat.com often throughout your blog entries, in your links list (“blog roll”), and/ or in classified or display ads. Be sure to use your clickbank hoplink!

That's all 10, but that's not all there is. In fact, if you wanted to, you could do marketing all day long (I do). It all depends on what you want to get out of this affiliate program - a few extra dollars part time, or a full time Internet Marketing income. Either is possible.
