I hope they'll answer all your questions about the more obscure corners of what you can do as a Goldmine affiliate and generally help you sell more.

Some of the areas covered include:

How to increase traffic to the Screenwriting Goldmine.
How to presell the Goldmine so people are more inclined to buy when they get here.
How to send people to specific landing pages on the Goldmine. This increases your sales by reducing friction when they get there. The net effect is to increase your sales for the same amount of traffic.
Ways to add value to the transaction so you don't just throw traffic at the site and hope it sticks.

Tools and resources for the things that are talked about in the video - including a manual on how to construct a set of custom tracking links.

If you're new to affiliate marketing, or you've been doing it for a while and got a bit stuck, I think they are absolutely essential. If you're more intermediate, even advanced, I'm sure there will be something for you too.

OTHER MONEY MAKING TOOLS

As you can't see the videos until you have signed up these are just some ideas to get you thinking about the possibilities:

Pay Per Click Advertising

These are the adverts that pop up at the side of search engine results, and embedded into some web pages. When users click on them they are taken to your page where you recommend Screenwriting Goldmine in whatever way you choose.

They’re easy to set up and can start making you money very quickly.

Set up Pay Per Click campaigns at any or all of:

Just visit any or all of these links to start a pay per click campaign. Each site offers tutorials on how to get it all working.

Tip: To help you get the most out of Pay-Per-Click advertising, start with the professionally produced video tutorials inside your account.

Write and Submit Articles

Articles help establish you as an expert. You don't have to have a couple of award winning movies under your belt, just give sensible, well researched advice. The more a web visitor reads your content, the more likely they are to trust your recommendations.

If you’d like to have someone write original articles for your website or blog, you could look at www.helium.com You post there asking writers to bid to write your articles – I've seen articles go for as little as $25 each on there, which might seem a lot initially, but obviously the investment over time is well worth it.

Here are some topics to consider for your articles.

How To Write a Screenplay
How To Write Great Dialogue
Writing a Movie Script – The Easy Way
Professional Writing Tips for Screenwriters
The Secret Screenwriting Method
Why Most Screenwriters Fail
How to Write a Movie Script

Once you have some articles completed you can post them on your website.

We also strongly recommend you submit them to article directories. These directories let other websites use your article so the articles end up all over the internet. You get to put your affiliate link in the article or your author's Biography so their visitors will go to the Screenwriting Goldmine sales page. As the articles spread out over the internet so do your affiliate links. (These articles, and your links, can stay in place for yours, providing you with a steady stream of sales.)

Articles are best at 300 to 600 words long. Just submit one a day for a while and watch the traffic mount up.

We recommend you start with these three article directories:

Email Marketing Resources

If you already have a mailing list you’re in with a huge advantage. These are people who are used to hearing from you, and with whom you’ve already built a relationship, and so they're far more likely to listen to your recommendations.

These emails should be written by you, in your usual voice, selling your recommendation in your usual way. All we can say about this is remember to sell the benefits to the reader, (what hassle it can save the reader), rather than just listing the features of the product.

Tip: Remember to include your affiliate links inside the email so that you get your commission.

Expert Email Copywriter

If you’d like to hire an expert to write different email letters for you to send out, I would suggest you visit the www.warriorforum.com and ask around there.

Give Each of Your Visitors a Free Preview Chapter

If you want to give your visitors something special, just drop us a line and we'll embed your affiliate link into a personalised Preview of the Screenwriting Goldmine. That means that every person that likes the preview will click through to the sales page using your affiliate link – and you will get the commission. You can mail this preview out, or give it out in forums, or have it on your site for anyone to download.

Use Static Banners and Be Creative

Inside your account you'll find a host of simple – but highly effective – banner ads that you can place on your website to lead people over to our sales page.

Release a Viral Video

Why not do a video review of the Goldmine? It could be as simple as you talking to camera about what you think of the package. Then you post the video, and your affiliate link, to Youtube and let their massive network do the job for you. What’s great about this is quality isn’t too crucial here – we’ve seen great videos done on a mobile phone. Enthusiasm and passion for the product is what counts.

Write a Review on Your Website or Blog

Writing reviews is a great way to drive affiliate sales. With that said, be careful that you mention both the plusses and minuses of the Goldmine. Don’t simply say ‘buy this’; instead, try to be as thoroughly rigorous and objective in your review as is possible. And, of course, don’t forget to include your affiliate link to the product at several points throughout the review!

Top Tips For Reviews

Tip #1: Give things away

Why not write a review of Screenwriting Goldmine, turn that review into a PDF, and then freely give it away on forums?

Tip #2: Provide value to the user

The best reviews provide value to the end user. Sometimes that can be critical information about a product, or how you use it... or it perhaps a truly reason why you think a product or website has quality.

Whatever strategy you use, always keep in mind what your visitor is looking for and make sure you answer that question for them.

Tip #4: Be authentic

There are a lot of reviewers online that rely on false claims and hype.

We strongly recommend you don't do this – after all, you just don't need to: Screenwriting Goldmine is a top quality product.

Just be quietly confident about what you are recommending – this alone will separate yourself from the crowd. If there are bits of the package you don't like, then feel free to mention them in the interests of balance. We want you to be AUTHENTIC and ETHICAL in your sales methods.

But do remember to give the benefits in a way that answers the questions they are asking.

For example: People who are interested in "Screenwriting Goldmine" might have these questions running around in their head:

Why is this book different?
Has this worked for anyone else?
Will it really work for me?
Who is Phil Gladwin anyway?
It’s expensive – what makes it worth the money?
Can it really be possible for me to break into screenwriting?

The more you get into the visitor's head and understand what they are looking for and then satisfy that need, the more you will help out your visitor – which will inevitably lead to more sales and commission for you.

Tip #5: Remember - "What's In It For Me?"

Answer that question for your customer in your review and you will generate LOTS of sales!

Tip #6: Make it easy for your visitors

Internet users are in a hurry, which means you'll often only get a few seconds to capture their attention. When someone views your review page, they should be able to quickly identify your "top pick" and visit that website.

Giving a visitor too many choices only confuses them. They will either believe your review or not so keep it simply and authentic. What the visitor is mainly looking for is whether YOU believe what you are saying. If they think you are authentic, they are much more likely to consider the product you are recommending!

Here are some links to press articles you can quote in your articles. (Be careful to attribute the source. This gives your article more credibility, and keeps you out of copyright problems.)
