Frequently Asked Questions

What exactly is an affiliate program?

With the MRM sub-affiliate program, you have the opportunity to recommend the MRM affiliate program to your visitors, customers, and subscribers.  Every person who becomes a MRM affiliate based on your recommendation becomes your sub-affiliate.  each time your sub-affiliate makes a sale, you receive a percentage of that sale.  PLUS, you continue to earn your regular affiliate commissions.

It's an exceptionally easy and affordable way to maximize your income.

Do I need a web site to get started as an affiliate?

You don't actually need to have a web site to market our products as an affiliate.  Indeed, some of the most successful affiliate marketing strategies - e-mail marketing and classified ads - don't depend on your having a web site at all.

However, we would like to encourage you to set up a web site or BLOG as soon as possible.  A web site or Blog provides you with a "hub" - a place where visitors can get more information about your products, and discover how knowledgeable you are about these products, without having to contact you directly.

If you market your web site or Blog successfully, you'll get thousands of people coming to your site each month - which translates into more sales as an affiliate.  So, the faster you set up a web site, the better your chances of getting more sales faster.

Out of all the visitors I send you, how many will buy?

Many new affiliates wonder how many people it's necessary to send to MRM in order to make a sale.  On average, most MCM affiliates earn one sale for every 95 to 115 visitors they send us.  Some sites that really perform see one sale for every 33 to 36 visitors they refer to us.

However, to get this kind of great conversion ratio, you really need to give a personal recommendation in order to give the course credibility.  In fact, a personal recommendation can increase your referral fess by as much as 416%!

For those of you who may not be aware, these conversion ratios are fantastic when you consider that the average conversion ratio for a web site on the Internet is one sale per 720 visitors!

With that said, we should make it clear that the type of traffic you generate has a direct effect on the percentage of people that buy.  For example, if you're promoting the "Piano Tricks of the Trade" Multimedia E-Book on a site that sells Wedding Gowns, it would be more reasonable to expect 1 sale our of every 1,000 visitors to the MRM site, as these visitors are not targeted (i.e. they're looking for wedding gowns, not, a course in "how to play the piano!"

However, if you have a site that explains "How to Play the Piano Online" or "Learn to Play Piano," you could expect to see results such as one out of every 50 visitors buying, because they're the perfect target audience.

How do I get paid once I make a sale?

All payments are made via mailed checks or PAYPAL.  I urge everyone to join PAYPAL, if possible.  Because, payments are sent to your PAYPAL account electronically.  There's no need to wait for "snail mail!"

We send a check for sales for the month by the second week of the following month.  So, for example, if you make a sale any day in the month of January, your sale will be recorded and your check written and sent before mid-February.  We send the checks by U.S. Postal Service, so depending where you are, it may take a few weeks or more for the check to arrive.

Here's How to Create Your Own Text Links!

Below you will find an example of a text link.

In the coming weeks, I will be adding banners links, as well as other text links and email promotions for your affiliate marketing.

But, I think it's very important that you learn how to do this your self.

I created this link using my affiliate id.

Here's How to Play Piano Like a Pro... Easily!

Now here's the code for the text link above.

COPY and PASTE the following script:

VERY IMPORTANT:  If you wanted to use this same text link, you would have to replace my RED Affiliate Id numbers, with yours!  It's just that simple.

And if you wanted to insert different words, just make sure you change the text between the the greater than sign (>) and the less than sign (<).

So try to invent some convincing ads of your own.

The best way is to review and analyze the SPONSORED ads on GOOGLE!

Here's the script for the table above:

Here's How to Advertise Without a Web Site!

GOOGLE ADWORDS

Google has a new system that makes it possible, for the first time in the history of the world, to deposit five bucks, write a couple of ads, and instantly get access to over 100 million people - in less than 10 minutes.

It's called Google AdWords and it's hot.  In fact it may be the first and best thing to do to get traffic to your site.

But it's not always as easy as I just made it sound - AdWords has some nuances, and most people have a rough time at first.

Well my colleague Perry Marshall has written a very helpful e-course called "5 days to success with Google AdWords" and there's no charge for it.  You can find out about it here:  Click for more information.
