My deepest, darkest secrets of how I got started online
Filed under: Internet Marketing, Reviews, business, marketing
As you know, it’s an absolute fact that if you’re working online, you NEED to be an affiliate marketer.
Even if you have your own products…
Even if you’re a big time guru…
And ESPECIALLY if you’re new..
…or someone who still isn’t making five figures per month… you NEED to be an affiliate marketer for other people’s products.
It just makes sense…
…you spend NO time in product creation,
…you spend NO time performing customer support,
…you never have to worry about creating and fulfilling backends,
…you don’t have to hire or outsource anybody to do anything (there is a REASON why outsourcing, just like employee, is considered a four letter word, folks! managing others is NOT fun)
…and most of all, you get to make BIG commissions… in fact, usually the SAME commissions as the product creator… without any of the headaches!
The problem with affiliate marketing?
That’s easy… you’re just one affiliate of MANY, all promoting the same product. You don’t stand out. You don’t look any different. And your sales show it.
But even so, it’s still a fact that if you’re not affiliate marketing, you are LOSING money faster than the stock market…
(Okay, that’s a bit of an exaggeration these days, but still, you are missing out on what could be a BIG chunk of your income!)
So what’s the best way to stand apart from every other affiliate marketer… …and in the process, make big, fat affiliate commission checks?

3 strategies that could increase your bottom line many times and add a consistent income stream to your online business.
Imagine turning tiny $2 to $9.99 dollar investments into hundreds and even thousands of dollars, quickly
and easily, all from your computer, regardless of your past experience.
Here is how…
You might have guessed it, it’s related to domain and website flipping. Most think it should is reserved to experienced marketers or companies with a lot of seed capital.
It’s wrong!
The main reason is that you can start flipping domains for less than $2?
Indeed, you can purchase .info domain names for less than $2 and start implementing some quick-n-easy-n
-profitable flipping strategy, such as:
A- Strategy #1:
You found a good domain name, and you flip it as is (with no content, and nothing else than the domain name).
Your added value was to find a trendy, catchy domain name that you know would be of interest to some marketers (niche marketers especially)
Think you cannot make a lot of mon*ey this way? You would surprised to be able to flip a $2 domain name for $100, or even $1000
Once you do it one…you can simply rinse, repeat, replicate and … collect cash!
This strategy is the “$200 from a $2 investment and 2mins of efforts”
Parking the domain will help you get some visibility (if you list it at SEDO for example), and also generate some mo*ney before you sell it. But parking domains as a business model is not what I call ‘domain flipping’. Domain parking can be used to park a domain (display a page with ads instead of a Not found error) while you’re look for a buyer for your domain.
You should see Domain Parking as a way to ease the sale of your domain, not as a business model per se.
(Domain Parking business model is a capital intensive business model that requires extensive testing,
and a HUGE number of domains) Not convinced: check those recent trades (in case you think that this business model crashed with the Internet Bubble in 2000)
Affiliate.com (august 2008) sold for $579,900
Printer.com (agust 2008) sold for $800,000
ok those are one word domain… So what about these ones:
TripleCreditReport.com … sold for $260,000 (august 2008)
MyrtleBeachCondos.com… sold for $120,000 (May 2008)
SoutLakeTahoe.com… sold for nearly $100,000 2 weeks ago!
FruitBaskets.com sold for $142,500 in February 2008.
I think you’re now mentally scanning all the domain names you could have purchased, and all the ones
you could get… and how much profit you could generate from their sale.
Important tip: do not EVER register domains based on existing trademarks (even derivative domain names, or typo variations of those trademarks)
B-Strategy #2:
a more advanced strategy consists in adding value to the domain name itself in order to sell it as a more “complete” business package: domain + content and if possible traffic, backlinks, search engine rankings and profit.
It will take more time to achieve, but then the ROI could be even greater, especially if you do most of the work by yourself.
Think at it this way:
- you register a .com domain for $9.99
- you then install a wordpress blog on it (let’s say you’re paying $5 a month for the hosting plan)
- you then start blogging during 30 days by posting 1 new article a day (could be from PLr source)
- in the meantime, you also try to build a presence by submitting these articles (or abstracts) to article directories, you start commenting in related blogs adding link back to your valuable content on your own domain, you start contributing in related forums, you submit your site to directories…
- (of course when you set up your wordpress blog, you did not forget to add some banners to related affiliate programs, adsense ads, or a report you’ve developed based on the first 10 or 15 days of blog posting)
General tip: when you blog, do not forget to recycle your content by creating derivative products with it (special report to give away, ebook, autoresponder series, article for ezines…)
You see the point of this strategy. You’re creating a website…WITH the exclusive goal (this is really important) to flip it in xx days (replace xx with anything you wish. I recommend 90 days so that you can give some history to potential buyers, and also so that you really get a performing and effective process)
If you can generate $100 pro*fit a month from your newly created web site steadily and consistently (at leat during 2 months), then you could easily sell your web site for $1000 to $1500 (especially if you can prove your traffic is not 100% dependant of search engines.
Thus the reason for posting in related blogs and forums, submitting your site and article to directories)
If you have started to build a list, you could even add around $0.5 to $xx (depending on your niche) to your final selling price.
This requires some commitment, but it is a really performing and profitable strategy. Probably the most rewarding one.
C- Strategy #3:
Third strategy requies some seed capital:
You buy existing web sites that you tweak, transform to improve their performance and then resell them at a (much) higher price.
I don’t recommend you start with this 3rd strategy at first, since it would require to be able to identify the good opportunities from the scam.
But once you’re familiar with scenarii A and B, you can cut a lot of the development process by simply tweaking existing sites based on your experience of how to increase the profitability of a web page.
In 30 to 60 days, you could double, or triple your investment.
I think you’re starting to envision how you could use those strategies to add a new income stream to your online business (or simply to create your first income stream!).
In summary, either you make mo*ney from the appreciation of the name, either from the traffic it gets (and thus the profit it generates). Then you can find names on your own, or buy existing domains.
But you need to do things right from the start, and I am sure you don’t want to spend tons of mo*ney to learn how to pro*fit from domain and website flipping.
To help you keep your money to purchase domains, and expand them into an income stream, I have released an exclusive book on this business model. 45 pages…for less than the price of a domain name!
You could argue that domain name price can vary from $2 to $9.99 generally (and sometimes $50 for non common TLD, such as .tv)
You’re right, just know that you could get it for even the lowest domain price avaible 
Here is how :
Replace affiliateID with your clickbank Id in the following URL, and you will instantly get a 75% commission, meaning you would end up paying only 25% of the already ridiculous price of this book.
(of course replace affiliateID by your clickbank affiliate ID). If you don’t have one, you can simply follow the main domain links.
Also, do not forget you can promote it and then make 75% on each sale.
It’s not a lot but the product converts at 16%…
Honnestly, I do not see any reason not to get it this new book today…

Key Facts About Affiliate Marketing
Filed under: Internet Marketing, Network, Social Marketing, business, marketing, viral marketing
Many people who want to earn money online think that affiliate marketing is very easy and that you can start to earn money without doing anything. Yes, it’s true that affiliate marking is one of the easiest ways to make money online. However, some effort is required before you can start to see your affiliate cheques rolling in!
New online entrepreneurs who get into affiliate marketing with some misconceptions are easily discouraged. This article outlines the realities and facts about affiliate marketing.
- It is necessary for you to invest some money if you really want to succeed and earn big commissions. You will need to have your own website, an auto responder on your website and also track the performance of your adverts. All these items will require you to spend some money. In order to generate many sales and hence earn huge commission checks, you must drive huge volumes of traffic to your website. Depending one the advertising campaign you will want to use, you will need to pay some money for advertising.
- You will need to apply some hard work and effort to build your affiliate marketing business. This is particularly important during the early stages of starting your business when you will need to write articles or other reports that you can use to promote your affiliate links. Blogging, participating in forums and writing affiliate product reviews are some of the things you will need to do. Depending on your budget, there are several marketing-related steps you will need to take to advertise your website. If you have money you can outsource some of the services you need. If you have a limited budget, it means you have to do most of the marketing activities yourself.
- You will need to keep on learning. Internet marketing is very dynamic, and there are various ways of promoting your website which you can use. This means that you must keep on learning to keep yourself in line with the most effective ways for marketing online. You can interact with other affiliate marketers or you can have a very successful marketer as your mentor.
- You need to have confidence and faith in yourself. This will help you to keep on working on your business until you become successful and earn huge commissions.
These are some of the key facts about affiliate marketing. You must fully understand this before you decide to start an affiliate marketing business.

The Teaching of John Delavera
There are 100’s of membership club online. Many are free others ask for a monthly fee. Being a Turbo Member I can tell you, this membership is not free, but the benefits I get, the advantages offered once you a member are worth 100 times more the cost of the TurboMembership
Today I received this personal teaching and coaching from John Delevera and I think it’s worth sharing it with to those who are seeking for a super opportunity to grow and make a pile of money online.
I’ll become a bit personal today.
I asked myself:
“Try to isolate the 1 thing that helped you indeed to become a success online. Do not tell me endless paragraphs for an answer. Isolate the answer and give it in 1 line.”
It’s quite hard. But I think I did it.
The answer is:
“I invent things and am a good maestro.”
According to WikiPedia, maestro “is used in English to designate a master in an artistic field – usually someone who has gained enough knowledge within that field to be able to teach students successfully, though the term may sometimes be conferred through sheer respect for an artist’s works. The term is most commonly used with respect to classical music and opera, most likely due to the heavy influence of Italian operatic traditions in many Western classical and operatic music schools.”
I can teach you how to become a good maestro online, and thus master the art of making money. This is something that can be taught indeed. What I cannot do is to make your brain generate ideas. That should be your contribution to your success.
I assume that by now you are already a Turbo Member
I mean…
I feel it’s quite masochistic to pay for things you can get for “free” – $97 per month is not free, but if you sum up the expenses for your hosting, autoresponder, Fantasos account (which costs $97 by itself,) the products you can promote for 95% commissions, the products you get with resale and private label rights, the products you get from Software Gold Club, the articles, the templates, JP’s sites, and the products you get from the Vault – when others pay for them online…
…then I cannot find any reason for NOT being a turbo member if you really want to become an Internet Marketer, other than being a maso… (short term for a masochistic person.)
How do I know that?
I have been a “maso” too.
About 6 years ago, I did not even have an Aweber account because I was scared about the monthly subscription… Can you believe that??
Today I manage a private label version of Aweber (it costs some 1000s of dollars to do so) and…
…that’s amazing, isn’t it?
“You lucky guy” some people will say…
Well… not lucky at all.
I just used a simple formula you know….
Here it is:
-Create a product.
-Sell it and get your money back.
-Repeat.
I’ll tell you what: If I send to you ALL the issues of my TurboZine you will see that I did EXACTLY that.
In the instance of Aweber for example, I only had to create 1 product OR to promote 1 product that could PAY for my subscription with that service.
Simple?
That’s what did.
It worked. It works.
In regard to the “Invention” part. To tell you the truth I think I did not do something special. I just created the solutions that would allow me to compete with the Gurus out there. It just happened that my solutions are what people wanted to USE too in order to compete with Gurus today.
You see… Those that USE my tools, are millionaires today.
This is not a hype…
A super affiliate of mine that you all know builds a house from his commissions of The Teaching of John Delavera
Another marketer you also know is well respected as a product creator.
Another marketer you also know earns in 1 month more than what an American earns in 1 year.
And those are not just 1 or 2 examples. The list goes on and on.
I am not saying these things to boast for what I have done, but the pure fact is:
People make money when using what I offer.
And I love this.
I love to see people making money by using my inventions and by also implementing the “turbo logic” in practice too.
As said, this covers the “invention” part of my success.
About being a maestro now…
As said, the simple formula I used and use is to:
-Create a product.
-Sell it and get your money back.
-Repeat.
I have repeated it more than 100 times. This is how I have created more than 100 products.
Now… THIS is something I can teach you indeed. How to spot the ones that CAN be trusted and CAN be part of your “orchestra.”
I can do that inside the forum once you become a turbo member – this is where I can answer your questions.
But in brief, here are some clues and hints:
- Cheap is not always the right choice.
- Professionals are not cheap because they do not have time to serve 1000s of customers. They limit their orders and earn more money by each order in order to deliver Art.
- If a product is bad when delivered, do not try to make it better. Either re-order it, or ask for your money back. Likewise: a script that does not work when delivered cannot become better. Either forget your money and find another coder to create it for you, or ask for your money back. I use to forget the money and move on – it costs less in psychological terms but it helps me moving faster.
- Never be personal with your freelancer. Keep jokes aside.
Business is business.
- Never think about the next project before getting the current project delivered. Some times I had been passionate by the credentials of the freelancer and asked him to consider a long term professional relationship. That was wrong because it happened before I saw the product he created. When I saw it, I changed my mind…
- Do not initiate emotions in business. A product is something you can either sell or kill. It’s not good to
have feelings for something you may kill in the future. Do not love it either. Products are temporary. How you USE the products is what counts – there is much of wisdom on that
conclusion, re-read it.
- Everything on the Net deserves a specific time. If you deal more with someone or something then you lose. If you deal less with someone or something you lose again. Your mission is to reserve the correct amount of time needed to be devoted to persons and things online. Keep a balance if you are unsure, but always try to see the best way of using your resources.
- Remember the Delaverian Code (that’s for Crackers.) Not all fingers are equal but you need to identify which fingers are better than others. By doing so, you can FOCUS on things that CAN boost your business forwards.
And here are some simple things too:
Before ordering something online that offered with master resale rights, remember that you can find the same product for free if this is allowed by the license of the product. The same rule applies when you see a product offered with any kind of rights. If you are unsure about the terms of the license, then you need to find who is the originator of the product and then ask if the product can be offered for free. If yes, there is no need to buy it. You will see it offered as a Bonus or just free somewhere.
Do not buy things that CAN be added to a membership site. Check the Vault (Module 13) instead or email me and I shall add them to the Vault.
(OK this was a direct ad for TurboMembership but I really cannot understand the reason for someone not being a turbo member, so I assume you are a turbo member already.)
In brief:
If you try to find solutions to your existing quest on getting an advantage against your competitors then chances are you will come up with an idea for a product. It can be an ebook, video, script, software or anything.
Then you need to follow the simple advices you read above and become a good maestro, and thus co-ordinate the work done by people FOR YOU. Sometimes you need to work with more than 1 people for the same project but all advices apply too.
OK…
Class dismissed.
More answers inside the Forum.
(Module 14 - The TurboMembership again I know… I know.. it’s a blatant add… but I told you… I cannot see a reason for not being inside…;))
Take care,
