Affiliate Marketing for Beginners Course
*
DO YOU WANT TO MAKE MONEY ONLINE BUT DON'T KNOW HOW OR WHERE TO
BEGIN? WORRIED ABOUT BEING SCAMMED?
THE SOLUTION IS...
AFFILIATE
MARKETING
SCHOOLBOOK
BEGINNER COURSE
My name is Laura Burke (that's not me below; my desk isn't anywhere
near that clean), and I'm an affiliate marketer. I LOVE my job. Work
doesn't feel like work anymore.
IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO...
Work at home or anywhere you can access the Internet
Set your own hours
Have extra cash deposited in your account
Save for a family vacation, college tuition, or retirement
Spend all day working on things you truly enjoy
Be free to travel whenever you want
Learn a skill that will generate income for years into the future
...then read on! Affiliate marketing may be right up your alley.
For years and years, I wanted to make money online but didn't really
know where to start. We've always lived paycheck to paycheck, and I
knew there had to be a way to change that. I tried having my own
Internet "store," where I sold actual physical products. Too much work
for too little cash. I tried designing web sites for people, but I
realized I was still working for someone else; plus all the hours I
put in didn't translate into decent earnings. Finally I stumbled upon
affiliate marketing and knew that was the answer.
WHAT IS AFFILIATE MARKETING?
Affiliate marketing most often consists of the creation of web sites
around certain topics. You become an affiliate of online merchants and
promote their products on your site. When someone clicks on your
links, they are directed to the merchant's site. When they make a
purchase, you get the commission.
No handling monetary transactions
No inventory
No shipping
No customer service
All you do is drive traffic to these merchants' sites. Simple
concept, huh? But when you're looking for legit ways to make money
from home,
...IT'S VERY DIFFICULT FOR THE AFFILIATE MARKETING BEGINNER TO
DETERMINE WHAT'S LEGITIMATE AND WHAT'S NOT. SCAMMERS BANK ON THIS.
LITERALLY.
I get so tired of hearing about enthusiastic new Internet marketers
getting conned out of hundreds (if not thousands) of dollars by
lowlifes who prey on their inexperience. True, newbies aren't exempt
from the personal responsibility to thoroughly research something
before getting involved, but sometimes they just don't know what
questions to ask. So the make-money-from-home scams keep snagging
victim after victim.
In the end, legitimate Internet marketing gets a black eye, victims
are hurt, and scammers are living large. There's something wrong here.
BEN IS NOT AMUSED BY THESE SCAMS EITHER. LOOK AT HIM; YOU CAN JUST
TELL. HE WOULD RATHER COME LIVE WITH YOU. HE SAYS SCAMMERS' POCKETS
ARE DISGUSTING.
Without guidance, it would probably take you several months of daily
examination, if not more, to really get a handle on how to succeed at
affiliate marketing. It took me a full _YEAR_ of intensive research to
finally feel like I knew the difference between reality and hype,
between legitimate programs and scams, between effective methods and
things that are a waste of time. I found that some of my efforts had
been misdirected because of ignorance. And I did waste money along the
way by rushing into things before I knew all the facts. Although I
don't feel I was scammed, per se, I do believe I was misled. I lost
over $200 to Internet marketers in the "make money online" field who
either didn't accurately represent their products or overstated their
potential. But those are mistakes you don't have to make.
Why? Because I've created an AFFILIATE MARKETING HOME STUDY COURSE
for beginners that teaches solid, ethical, and proven techniques for
making money online to people who have NO experience in online
marketing or creating web sites. It's available for immediate
download, so you can get right down to business with the Schoolbook
lesson plan within a few minutes from now.
HOW CAN YOU TELL IF SOMETHING'S A SCAM?
There are thousands of web sites out there making thousands of
promises. Certainly many are on the up and up, but many (I daresay the
majority) are not. When you haven't done this before, where do you
start, whom do you trust, and how do you know what's truly possible
and what's a pipe dream? What if the person teaching you how to make
money at home doesn't know much more about it than you do, and their
information is misleading or downright false?
Here's one of the best ways to tell: Take a look at their sales
copy. Does it sound too good to be true? Then it is. Simple as that.
BUT IS ANYTHING THAT THE SCAMMERS SAY TRUE?
That's a very good question! The short answer is YES.
Work From The Comfort Of Home! Check.
Make Money While You Sleep! Check.
Fulfill Your Financial Dreams! Check.
All possible. So what's the problem?
They promise you can attain those goals
IN NO TIME!* WITH ALMOST NO EFFORT!**
Yes, your affiliate marketing business will be generating sales
while you sleep. You can work in your ratty bathrobe without even
showering if you want, although your significant other may have
something to say about that. And it's possible to achieve some lofty
goals financially.
But you won't get rich overnight. You won't get rich at all if you
don't work hard. And this does take work. Anyone who tells you that
you can make thousands of dollars by occasionally cracking open a
laptop at poolside is only taking your money to pay for his pool.
You wouldn't start a brick-and-mortar business expecting it to turn
a 5- or 6-figure profit within a month, a year, or even longer, would
you? That would be unrealistic, wouldn't it? This is no different.
Because of the immediate nature of the Internet, people sometimes
expect things to happen magically and instantly. If that's your
expectation, you'll need to either adjust your viewpoint or explore
other careers. This is no get-rich-quick scheme.
If you see promises as shown above, run like the wind. I'm telling
you right now, making money online without working for it is too good
to be true.
*THIS IS RIDICULOUS.
**SO IS THIS.
BUT IF YOU ARE WILLING TO WORK...
HOW MUCH CAN YOU MAKE?
You've probably seen claims from Internet marketers bragging about
their obscenely monstrous income. Maybe they're telling the truth,
maybe not. Me? I'm not going to pretend I've made millions. I'm still
working on that. But giving Donald Trump a run for his money is not my
goal. Would it be nice? (The money, I mean, not the hair. Definitely
not the hair.) Sure, but I don't NEED to be rich. I just want to pay
my bills in an uncertain economy, build my savings, and have a little
left over for fun. If you take creating your online home business
seriously, treat it like a job, and work hard, you will be able to do
that and more.
Too many factors come into play here to give any concrete numbers.
Some marketers make $1 a day, some make $100 a day, and some make
$1,000 a day and more. It certainly can be very lucrative if done
right. (And there is more than one right way to do this.) The sky is
the limit.
Here's Where To Start:
Think Of It As Affiliate Marketing 101
HOW CAN YOU BE SURE THIS IS NOT JUST ANOTHER SCAM?
I know you don't know me and may very well wonder whether this
course itself is legit. Anyone can _SAY_ they hate scams and that they
would never promote one. And I'm glad you're skeptical rather than
gullible! But rather than bury you in hype, I will simply give you
three good reasons to trust that this is for real.
1. I'm not teaching something I don't do successfully myself. I'm an
affiliate marketer because, like everybody, we need to pay the bills.
My husband and I live in an extremely rural and economically depressed
area of Michigan's Upper Peninsula. Our whole county has 8,000 people,
and in my town of about 1,200, the paper mill that employed about 250
people just closed its doors. A whole block of businesses burned last
year, Chevrolet pulled their franchise from the local dealership, a
nursing home closed, the ambulance left town, the schools are
combining, one of the newspapers closed, and I hear we're not even
going to have a DMV office in the county anymore. I think I saw a
tumbleweed the other day. Things aren't so good.
On the plus side, I'm lucky to have Lake Superior virtually at my
back door, and lucky/unlucky enough to live where 300 inches of snow
is typical, depending on your point of view. But I love living here,
and my affiliate marketing business is what makes it possible for me
to do that in this rotten economy. When you work from home it doesn't
matter where you live or where you travel, as long as you have an
Internet connection.
2. As I alluded to earlier, I hate hype--the canned, "sincere"
voices of marketers who, out of the goodness of their heart, are
offering a ONCE IN A LIFETIME opportunity that ends at midnight and
will NEVER, EVER be offered again so you must decide IMMEDIATELY but
if you try to leave they shout WAIT!!!!! ARE YOU REALLY, REALLY,
DOUBLE-TRIPLE SURE YOU WANT TO FOOLISHLY REFUSE THIS ABSOLUTELY
WONDERFANTASTERRIFIC OFFER THAT WOULD SOLVE ALL YOUR FAMILY'S MONEY
PROBLEMS WITHIN THE NEXT 24 HOURS IF YOU WOULD JUST CLICK OUR BUY NOW
BUTTON WHICH FOR YOUR CONVENIENCE IS THE SIZE OF ICELAND????? Please.
Equally annoying are those who claim to hate hype even as they are
smothering you with it. I have no desire to go down that road. I may
not get as many customers that way, but that's okay. What I'm offering
here is real, it's valuable, and no hype is needed.
3. Have I mentioned my distaste for scammers? I would like to divert
some of the cash that goes into their pockets into yours and mine
instead. Wouldn't you?
Yes, there is a one-time charge for my course. However, it's not the
charging of a fee that makes something a scam. It's the failure to
deliver on one's promises.
AND I PROMISE TO TEACH YOU EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW TO START
MAKING MONEY FROM HOME.
MY APPROACH TO TEACHING AFFILIATE MARKETING
When I started to learn affiliate marketing, I immediately realized
there was a whole lot more to it than I had expected. My next thought
was: If it's overwhelming to me, someone who has been building web
sites for a dozen years, how on earth are affiliate marketing newbies
supposed to sort through and absorb all the information out there and
determine which way to go, who to believe, where to even begin?
I've been watching newbies on various web forums. Most are just
diving in without the slightest clue what to do. Many don't even have
basic computer skills, so they really flounder when it comes to the
intricate world of marketing on the Internet.
So I started looking at the various courses and teaching programs
out there.
WHAT WAS MISSING WAS BASIC, DETAILED, STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTION FOR
THOSE WHO HAVE NO WEB BACKGROUND WHATSOEVER OR WHO MAY LACK CONFIDENCE
IN THEIR ABILITY TO BUILD A WEB SITE OR LEARN HOW TO MAKE MONEY FROM
HOME.
Most Internet marketing training assumes the student already knows
how to create a web site or understands things like FTP, SEO, SERPs,
backlinks, etc. They therefore fail to provide guidance for _EVERY
STEP_ of the process.
So I determined that once I had found success with my methods, I
would write a detailed explanation of what I learned and the steps I
took, down to the littlest nuts and bolts, so that other newbies
wouldn't have to experience the months of confusion and lack of
progress. It turned into a full 8-week course that I have taught here
in Michigan to several groups of eager students, and now, this
eCourse.
THE AFFILIATE MARKETING LESSONS IN THIS COURSE ARE GEARED
SPECIFICALLY TOWARD THE EXTREME NEWBIE.
Sometimes, you just need someone to help you navigate unfamiliar
territory. Nothing wrong with that. That's why I'm here.
The purpose of this Internet marketing "school in a book" is not to
be a comprehensive explanation of _ALL_ ways to make money at home
online. That's information overload and a sure recipe for failure. We
are also not going to get into more advanced methods and affiliate
marketing techniques. A future course will have to address those.
If you work hard and don't give up too soon, you will be successful.
Don't get distracted. Do one thing and do it well. Then if you want to
expand your skill set, the foundation of knowledge you have built will
give you a huge headstart on your next endeavor.
WHAT IF YOU DON'T THINK YOU CAN LEARN THIS?
Then you are exactly who will benefit most from this course. Taken
as a whole, learning affiliate marketing can be daunting. But my
lesson plan will help you learn all the necessary concepts little by
little, step by step, at your pace. Broken down, it's actually not
that complicated. You don't have to have a technical mind to do this.
I'VE CREATED THE COURSE I WISH I'D HAD WHEN I WAS AN AFFILIATE
MARKETING BEGINNER.
Well, that's enough about me. Let's talk about you. What do _YOU_
think of me?
Ah, I love that joke. Sorry, I just had to work it in.
WHAT DOES THE COURSE COVER?
You get all the same valuable information that I teach to my local
students, but in electronic format for your convenience,
instantaneously delivered. In fact, you get more, because in a
classroom setting, sometimes it's difficult to cover all the intended
material due to time constraints and the varying pace of individual
students. But in this eCourse, it's just you and me. And I mean that,
because I am available by e-mail anytime you have a question or
problem.
The 270 Pages In This ECourse Are Jam-packed With step-by-step
Instructions, tips, And techniques To Start Affiliate Marketing.
These Are Divided Into 55 Short, Manageable Lessons.

BY THE TIME YOU FINISH THE LESSON PLAN, YOU'LL HAVE A FULLY
FUNCTIONING WEB SITE, POSSIBLY ALREADY BEGINNING TO SHOW RETURNS, AND
THE SKILLS YOU NEED TO BUILD ANOTHER (AND ANOTHER AND ANOTHER!) ON
YOUR OWN.
WHAT ARE THE BASIC REQUIREMENTS?
The only thing this course assumes is that you already have the most
basic computer skills. That means navigating the Internet; using
e-mail; opening, saving, and closing files; organizing files and
folders; and copying and pasting text. Of course, if you aren't
comfortable using a computer, it's not likely you would be looking
into this field in the first place. But if you do need assistance in
any of those areas, I would recommend having a friend or colleague
help you out. Beyond that, everything will be explained and
demonstrated in detail, so don't worry about having to know anything
more than the basics above.
TESTIMONIAL TIME!
Below are a few comments from students who have taken the course.
I have to ask you a question. When you read testimonials on other
sales pages, do you ever wonder whether those people really said that?
I know I do sometimes. Do they really even exist, or did someone just
make them up?
Well, there's not much I can do on this page to prove that my
testimonials come from real people other than ask them to videotape
themselves. Even then, you'd have no way of knowing whether I was
standing out of camera range with a sign board that says, "READ THE
SCRIPT OR ELSE!"
Seriously, though, they are real. They have all either taken my live
course or the PDF version.
When I started to read the material, well, let's just say I couldn't
stop! LOL - I am definitely in for the long haul. I think what you are
charging is so reasonable compared to what it would cost a person to
take a college class. If you can do it in less time, for less money,
why wouldn't you? It is worth it without a doubt!! Look at
me...granted, I'm no expert, but I've learned more than I could ever
have imagined and I actually have a site!
For what I got out of the class, I think your price is MORE THAN
FAIR!!!! With each step taken, I get more and more excited about the
site. It's just cool now that I can do a search and actually see my
own site. Thank you again for sharing all your knowledge.
_PATTY P._
I am very, very impressed. It's worth $197 in my opinion.
I think you really have a homerun here. What I read thus far looks
FANTASTIC, I am jealous.
Congratulations, your hard work shows!
_SOGGY DAVE_
I enjoyed this course very much. There was so much information, yet
it was presented in a manner that made it clear and easy to
comprehend. I went from wishing I could get started in Internet
marketing to believing I could, and then to actually getting my own
web site! That was great. Even though I haven't yet been able to spend
the time getting my site really going, I'm confident that when do
carve out the time needed, I now have the materials and personal help
that I need to succeed. Thanks so much, Laura!
_BRENDA J._
You've done a great job. The PDF is well designed and presented,
with clearly defined sections and topics. I particularly like how you
break up the text with tips and keys to success etc, which makes it a
more interesting read. The annotated screenshots also make it
perfectly clear what the text is referring to, making it much easier
to understand. I also like how you take a light-hearted approach to
what could be mind boggling to beginners. The cartoon images are fun
too.
I knew that you wanted to cover a lot of ground with your course,
but I was surprised at how much you actually covered. Someone with
absolutely no previous knowledge could hit the ground running with a
course like this.
Overall I am very impressed. I think that its strength is that it
isn't just hype and false promises. Instead, it is a rapid induction
for beginners and inspires people to be thinking bigger by the end of
the course.
_CODER_
After taking the affiliate marketing course through Skip the Scams,
I am well on my way to having two great web sites. The class was
enjoyable, a great pace for all attendees, filled with info and
presentations that clearly explained the materials needed to build the
web site as well as how to proceed in the Internet marketing arena.
Laura has put together a great learning experience. I would recommend
this course to anyone interested in being successful at web site
building and marketing.
_CHRISTINE BREES_
Wow! It's amazing!
If that was in print, it would not look out of place in a proper
bookshop!
For a guide that is designed for a total newbie, it is really good.
I have not read all of it (yet) but it looks very concise and easy to
read.
WELL DONE!
_TAO SCHENCKS_
Buy with confidence because this is the real deal. It comes with a
100% money-back guarantee. If after completing the lessons in this
course, you are unable to make money, I will refund every last cent.
These methods work, if _YOU_ work.
100% Satisfaction Guarantee
SO WHAT DOES IT COST?
One of the great things about affiliate marketing is that the
start-up costs of an Internet business are ridiculously low in
comparison to the initial costs of "real" businesses. As your revenue
increases and you can afford it, you'll likely branch out and spend
more on programs or advertising, but you truly can get started--and
continue indefinitely--on a shoestring.
Of course, price is an especially important consideration in this
economy. I'm happy to say that it's likely lower than you're thinking.
On the Internet, information can be conveyed much more easily and
inexpensively than in the old days (you know, the '80s) when we used
to have to tie stuff to the legs of pigeons and hope for good flying
weather.
In that regard, I have good news, great news, and bad news.
THE GOOD NEWS
I offer my live, in-person, 8-week course for $120, but this deal
will get _MUCH_ better. For starters, I'm cutting the cost for the PDF
version to
ONLY $97
This one-time payment will get you all the training you need to
begin your successful affiliate marketing business. As I've mentioned,
you will build your own site as you go through the course so that by
the time you "graduate," you will have, not simply a head full of
knowledge, but also...
A COMPLETE WEB SITE OF YOUR OWN!
How much would that cost you if you had one created for you? Yeah. A
lot.
THE GREAT NEWS
I am including a HUGE bonus with your purchase of the Affiliate
Marketing Schoolbook:
One Year Of Free Hosting For Your Web Site!
If you had to purchase hosting for your domains, it would most
likely be between $85 and $120. This free package includes all the
resources you need to create your first site. You may also upgrade at
a steep discount if you want a bigger plan.
At renewal time in a year, you will be able to continue your hosting
for only $5-$12 per month, depending on which package you need at that
time.
Your only other expense to get started will be a domain name, which
can be purchased for the paltry sum of $7-$10 per year.
I've priced it this low and included the bonuses because I don't
want to create further financial hardship for those of you who are
probably looking into this because you need extra income in the first
place. I know that's a tough place to be in. And I realize you
probably don't have $97 just lying around. But if you can scrape it
up, it is worth every penny and more.
In fact, when you consider that you're getting a year's worth of web
hosting for free, it's almost like I'm paying _YOU_ to take this
course. Well, okay, it's not really like that. But it sounds good. :)
THE BAD NEWS
I'm not going to throw in an extra ShamWow with your order. I am
aware that this could be a dealbreaker, but I'll take my chances.
However...
I _am_ throwing in another extra:
It's a FREE 37-PAGE EBOOK written by Lisa Irby called
20 Ways To Build Traffic To Your Web Site
You will find it very helpful in your marketing endeavors. To be
successful, you've got to get visitors to your site. This will give
you some additional ways to do that.
PLUS...
Personal Assistance By E-mail Whenever You Have A Question
I will also be working on putting a private student forum on this
site for you to connect with other students and get your questions
answered.
WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEE A SAMPLE LESSON BEFORE YOU DECIDE? NO PROBLEM.

HOW MANY "REAL-WORLD" BUSINESSES CAN BE STARTED FOR JUST OVER $100? I
WILL VENTURE TO SAY THAT IF YOU'RE A REASONABLE PERSON WHO'S SERIOUS
ABOUT YOUR GOAL TO MAKE MONEY ON THE NET, YOU REALIZE THAT THIS IS A
STEAL.
You know, scammers have made it tough on everyone. Potential
students are fearful of being taken by them, and teachers like myself
are afraid of sounding like them.
So, with that said, I leave the decision to you. I hope that I will
be seeing more of you and that my course will help you pay your bills,
increase your savings, and have the financial means to live the life
you want to live. Ordering information is below.
And as for the scammers, what goes around...
All my best,
P.S. This is _WAY BETTER_ than the scams, and _WAY CHEAPER_. It's a
win-win.
P.P.S. No pigeons were harmed in the creation of this course.

WHY AM I STILL TALKING? (Believe me, you're not the only person
who's wondered.)
Because I know from my own experience, there will always be a reason
not to take action. Money is tight, time is tight, and energy is not
inexhaustible (unless you're 2). If you want to change your life, like
I did, you have make it happen, and the sooner the better. Life is too
short to spend it doing a job you don't love.
Remember, with affiliate marketing you can:
Work at home or anywhere you can access the Internet
Set your own hours
Have extra cash deposited in your account
Save for a family vacation, college tuition, or retirement
Spend all day working on things you truly enjoy
Be free to travel whenever you want
Learn a skill that will generate income for years into the future
THINGS YOU COULD DO WITHOUT FOR A WHILE TO RAISE THE $97:
Ninety-seven dollars is roughly 2 dinners out for a family of 4.
It's a cut and color at the salon. It's 2 or 3 cartons of cigarettes.
THINGS YOU COULD SELL:
Sell that awful bridesmaid dress on eBay. (You never want to see
pink satin again anyway, right?)
Sell a couple of your husband's golf clubs. He won't notice.
If you're the husband, sell some of your wife's shoes. Hopefully,
she won'ton second thought, better not. Internet marketing is kind of
tricky when you're wearing a cast.
Yes, this is tongue in cheek, but it might spark some ideas for you.
Just don't sell the kids. Yet. Wait till the recession is over, at
least.
And don't forget the money-back guarantee: If after completing the
lessons in this course, you are unable to make money, I will give you
a 100% refund.
