When someone makes you a too-good-to-be-true offer, what do you usually do? Right, you neglect the offer.

In the internet marketing world, things work differently!

Typical "make-money-now" offers are usually backed up by an army of affiliates. Some promote the program on their blogs and websites, others recommend it to their email list.

Why? Because affiliate marketing makes them money.

Type just about any product name into Google and you immediately see what I mean: when the product is promoted through an affiliate network, all you get is an avalanche of recommendations.

As a result, that "too-good-to-be-true" offer suddenly becomes a very credible one.

My advice: Don't fall for it!

If you wanna make money on the internet, don't just promote anything that makes you a quick buck. Be very selective, try out the products you purchased and see if they deserve a recommendation. Your list of followers will hug you for that!

Here's a simple trick, so listen carefully...

It's not about how much traffic you get. It's certainly not about how irresistible a certain offer is. It's all about the connection between your credit-card-in-hand traffic and the products you recommend.

In other words, what you need is "targeted" traffic, and there's a very easy way to get it.

Just recently, I saw a brilliant question on a big marketing forum. The moment I saw that question I knew it wasn't going to get many responses. The ones who did speak out didn't actually understand the question. The ones who didn't deliberately kept their silence.

I keep an eye on that thread and will eventually share what no one wants to share.

It's not a secret. It's better than that.

To be continued!

If you like making money (like I do), then I believe it's better to pick a premium theme. Here's why...

At the bottom of your wordpress site, you usually find a copyright notice and a link to the company or individual who designed your wordpress theme. Now that's where the money is.

When you pick a nice premium theme, some of your fellow bloggers/visitors who aren't familiar with your theme might check out that link...

When you replace the original link with your affiliate link (*) you're in for some extra cash: each time someone purchases a premium theme through your affiliate link, you get a percentage. It's a nice way to monetize each page of your wordpress blog.

Good luck!

(*) To get your unique affiliate link, you need to sign up for the theme developer's affiliate program. All it takes is a valid email address and a couple of clicks.
