Sneaky Affiliate Cheat

Don't be fooled by the hype; it can be hard to make money online. The methods vary, but they're all hard work:

  • Websites
  • Mailing lists
  • Article creation
  • Pay per click advertising
  • Search Engine Optimization (SEO)
  • Membership site management

No matter what you're doing, it's tough. And you never seem to be making enough money to justify the amount of work you put into it. What if you want to make more money? The usual answer to the question of how to make more money is "do more of what you're already doing."

That means more Websites, more articles, more mailings, etc. Is there a way to make more money without investing more money and spending a truckload of additional time?

There may be.

Chris Freville has just released his new book "Sneaky Affiliate Cheat." This isn't a book about "getting rich quick" or anything like that. It's a book on tweaking whatever you're doing, such as pay per click advertising or affiliate marketing, so that it becomes more efficient. The idea is that you'll make more money without spending more money or doing substantially more work.

Among the topics he covers in the book are such things as:

  • How to pick out products to sell and how the products that often seem to be the most profitable choice may actually be the worst choice you can make.
  • How to avoid losing your shirt when using Adwords to promote your products and how you can quickly find Adwords promotions that will work for you.
  • How to sell good products even when the publisher’s sales page is terrible. Sometimes there are good products with shoddy, badly-written sales pages. Here’s how to replace the junky sales page with a better one of your own!
  • How to keep your competition from stealing commissions from you.
  • How you can use popups to your advantage, even when your customer thinks they’re blocking them.
His section on how to bypass poorly written sales pages for products that are themselves good justifies the price of the book, in my opinion. I put that technique to work just a few minutes after I finished reading Sneaky Affiliate Cheat.

All in all, it's a pretty good book for anyone that wants to try to squeeze some more dollars out of the work they've already done. You might want to give Sneaky Affiliate Cheat a look.
