Resources
Here at Carol Bond we believe that helping you helps all of us. The more marketing avenues and materials you have, the more sales you'll make, increasing the bottom line for both of us.
This is why we've added our Affiliate Resources section. Here you'll find handy tips, guides and links that you may find useful for marketing any affiliate product, including ours!
For those of you who might be new to online affiliate programs there are really only three things you need to know to become successful.
1. How to get traffic and visitors to your site.
2. How to write copy that will sell the visitors to your site..
3. Enough HTML to be able to place banners, images, videos and sound clips on your site and to hold the copy you've written.
In our resource section we have tried to include good sources for each of these "need to know" areas as well as good health food and vitamin industry resources. We'll be adding new tutorials and links on a regular basis so be sure to check back often for the latest additions.
We've tried to include what we've found to be the best services and programs out there. Making money in affiliate marketing is often a result of good time management and we've tried to bring you the best time saving tools we can find. If you have a favorite we haven't included, please feel free to drop us a note and we'll add it to the list.
We have not included any "marketing membership" sites or "private mentoring" programs. While email boxes all over the net are usually overflowing with offers from these groups, most are not worth the cost of entry and many of these products and services are outmoded or no longer useful in today's internet marketing. They're usually incredibly overpriced and loaded with information that is freely available online.
One notable exception is Red Hot Copy. Lorrie Morgan Ferrero truly under promises and over delivers with her copyrighting training products and classes. Just hanging out on her forum and reading her free weekly newsletter can give you valuable copy writing advice.
Likewise Jim Cockrum's blog and newsletter may be very useful for those of you who use eBay in your affiliate marketing efforts. While he is intent on converting readers to paying members, his information and strategies are current and he frequently gives a heads up on eBay policy changes and what they mean to the selling community.
Please remember you can always request assistance from our Affiliate department. Whether it's a site review or a technical question, we're here to help! Just drop an email to affiliates@carolbond.com.
Thanks again for joining the Carol Bond family!
