Affiliate Marketing vs. AIME System<\/h2>\n
So here we start the lesson by illustrating how Affiliate Marketing works, so we can then compare it to how AIME works.<\/p>\n
What is Affiliate Marketing?<\/h2>\n
Affiliate Marketing is the process of earning money, as an Affiliate, through sales commissions by referring people to someone else’s products or services. You refer the people to someone else’s products or services by giving them your Affiliate Link. An Affiliate Link is basically the web address that: (1) points to the sales page where they can buy the products and services; and (2) shows your Affiliate ID that distinguishes you from other Affiliates. Through the Affiliate ID, the website can associate the resulting sales to you so you’ll get the commissions. The Affiliate ID is generated from an Affiliate Program in the website where you are a registered Affiliate Member.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
However, an experienced Affiliate Marketer will not forward people straight away<\/strong> to his Affiliate Link, but rather he would first capture their email addresses by the use of an optin page. The point being is that most people will not buy straight away at first instance of an offer to the products or services. Studies have shown that it takes about 7 to 9 times of repeat marketing<\/strong> before a person decides to buy the product or service. On that note, experienced Affiliate Marketers use an auto-responder. An Auto-responder is a web-based software that automatically send a series of pre-written email follow-up messages to the people who opted in through the optin page. You can visualize it from the diagram below:<\/p>\nSTEPS TO EARNING WITH AFFILIATE MARKETING<\/h3>\n
![\"affiliate-marketing-system\"](\"\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/step-by-steps\/agpap\/affiliate-marketing-flow3.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
Step #1: Generate Traffic<\/h4>\n
![\"aimglobal-aime-flow_00001\"](\"https:\/\/aimglobalproducts.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/step-by-steps\/aime\/aime-flow_00001.png\")
In the world of internet marketing, “traffic” simply means the “number of visiting people” to a particular web page such as an optin page. In Affiliate Marketing, what you want is huge and continuous traffic to your optin page and offer page where you will be earning sales commissions from. Such offer page is a sales page in online shop where you are a registered Affiliate Member.<\/p>\n
Step #2: Encourage Your Traffic to Sign-up in the\u00a0 Optin Page<\/h4>\n
![\"aimglobal-aime-flow_00002\"](\"https:\/\/aimglobalproducts.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/step-by-steps\/aime\/aime-flow_00002.png\")
As mentioned previously, people don’t buy straight-away so you need them to sign-up your Mailing List through the Optin Page. With them in your Mailing List, you can later send them follow-up messages to eventually convince them make purchases from the online shop where you are an Affiliate Member.<\/p>\n
But in reality, people are not so eager to sign-up into your Mailing List just because you asked them to. That’s why you would need to basically “bribe” them to sign-up by enticing them with an incentive or a gift. This gift can be in the form of a free e-book or free product that are relevant to their needs and your later offers.<\/p>\n
Step #3: Make a Sale on the Thank You Page<\/h4>\n
![\"aimglobal-aime-flow_00003\"](\"https:\/\/aimglobalproducts.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/step-by-steps\/aime\/aime-flow_00003.png\")
As soon as the people signed-up to your Mailing List through the optin form, they should be forwarded to a “thank you” page where you have the opportunity to make a sale by showing there your offer. If they are ready to buy at that instant they will click the “buy button” straight away and check-out from the online shop. It’s your opportunity to make money right there and then. On the other hand, if they are not yet ready to buy, that’s okey because now that you have their email addresses, you can send automatic email messages to them to make follow up’s by using an Auto-responder software.<\/p>\n
Step #4: Use an Auto-responder<\/h4>\n
![\"aimglobal-aime-flow_00004\"](\"https:\/\/aimglobalproducts.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/step-by-steps\/aime\/aime-flow_00004.png\")
The purpose of an Auto-responder is to allow you to create pre-written email messages for your Mailing List to send automatically to your subscribers. The idea is to eventually convince them to purchase your offers. The Auto-responder send email messages in a personalized manner where the recipients are addressed in their own names. But the real power in Auto-responder is that you can send email messages even in tens of thousands instances in a single day.<\/p>\n
Step #5: Automatically Send Series of Email Messages<\/h4>\n
![\"aimglobal-aime-flow_00005\"](\"https:\/\/aimglobalproducts.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/step-by-steps\/aime\/aime-flow_00005.png\")
In the Auto-responder you can schedule daily email messages for each of your subscribers. The idea is to make follow-ups to convince them to buy your first offer or other next offers. It is also a great opportunity to add value to your customers by sending them email messages that are educational. It is also a way to build stronger relationship with them.<\/p>\n
Step #6: Sell Products or Services via Online Shop<\/h4>\n
![\"aimglobal-aime-flow_00006\"](\"https:\/\/aimglobalproducts.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/step-by-steps\/aime\/aime-flow_00006.png\")
When your offers are really valuable to your subscribers and your email follow-up’s convey good sense for them to buy, then you will definitely make sales. The more you make sales, the more you earn commissions.<\/p>\n
Thanks to the Auto-responder software, from here on you can schedule other emails in series to your subscribers to offer them your other product offers.<\/p>\n
Ooops! Affiliate Marketing Ends Here…<\/h4>\n
Guess what. This is where Affiliate Marketing system ends. And have you noticed any Pros and Cons about this system?<\/p>\n
Well, I will share below what I have found through my experience.<\/p>\n
What You May Not Like in Affiliate Marketing<\/h4>\n\n- Most of the Affiliate Program out there have only up to 24 hours cookie life. It means that your customer will need to make a purchase within 24 hours so that you will earn the resulting sales commission. If the 24 hours has passed, for example your customer only decided to make a purchase the next day, you will not earn any sales commission from his purchases, unless he clicked again your affiliate link before making the purchase. As you can see, the 24 hours cookie-life is really not to your favor, especially if your customer will make repeat purchases, because you are only earning a sales commission on his first purchase, that is –if it’s within the 24 hours limit. Such Affiliate Programs\u00a0 or Networks out there you can investigate are:\n
\n- Amazon Associate Program<\/li>\n
- Clickbank<\/li>\n
- Commission Junction<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
- Repeat orders from the same customers will not likely happen if the products you are promoting are non-consumables. If you are promoting a digital product on a subscription service, you cannot upscale your commission from the same customer quickly as mostly the service terms remain the same for a whole year.
\nIn this regard, you are pressured to find new customers<\/strong> jn order for you to make Affiliate Marketing a long-term profitable business.<\/li>\n- If you do not know about web programming, how are you going to create an Optin Page Thank You Page and install\/integrate an Auto-responder?<\/li>\n
- If you are not good at writing or don’t have time writing, how are you going to create persuasive pre-written email messages?<\/li>\n
- How are you going to generate 100’s of good traffic?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
How Much Will It Cost To Start an Affiliate Marketing as a Business?<\/h4>\n\n- You may need to buy a domain name, which cost around $<\/span>12.35<\/span> to $<\/span>16.46<\/span> yearly.<\/li>\n
- You may need to pay web hosting fees, which can cost $<\/span>123.55<\/span> to $<\/span>24.32<\/span> yearly.<\/li>\n
- You may need to hire a web designer to put up your Optin Page, Thank You Page and install of\u00a0 your Autoresponder software. This can cost you from $<\/span>24.32<\/span> to $<\/span>823.60<\/span>.<\/li>\n
- You may need to purchase an Auto-responder service which can cost you $<\/span>16.46<\/span> to $<\/span>41.19<\/span> monthly.<\/li>\n
- You may need to hire a copywriter to write your pre-write your email messages. This can cost you from $<\/span>164.72<\/span> to $<\/span>494.19<\/span> monthly.<\/li>\n
- You may need to purchase a Training. Coaching and Support to start an Affiliate Marketing business. I’ve seen an internet personality selling it as a package for $<\/span>819.49<\/span>, which I believe is the cheapest out there.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
What’s My Opinion on Affiliate Marketing?<\/h4>\n
One of the good things about Affiliate Marketing is that you don’t need to have your own products to sell. You can just promote them easily by sharing your affiliate link to people, and then you can earn sales commission. As you can see, you can earn money without you doing the selling. But to start an Affiliate Marketing business can be quite expensive for some people, because you may need $<\/span>1,564.84<\/span> to $<\/span>2,894.97<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0–or more, just to set-up everything. While there are already many internet marketers who are earning a lot from this business model, it will not be easy for an average joe to replicate their success as it will require some patience and commitment for a long while, like maybe years before it can replace a salary. This is true most especially if the products you will be promoting are not going to give you repeat orders from the same customer, and that the cookie life is only up to 24 hours. By then the biggest challenge will be finding new customers regularly, which is a lot of work especially if you are flying solo with no staffs or team helping you out.<\/p>\nOn those notes, I believe Affiliate Marketing alone will not be the quickest road we are hoping for<\/strong>. If only there is way to ensure that there will be repeat commissions, and that there are some steps to help cause a “snow ball effect” to exponentially grow the traffic and sales –by then we can say that it can be the quickest road.<\/p>\nSo now, let’s turn your attention to AIME, Automatic Income and Marketing Engine.<\/p>\n
What is AIME System?<\/h2>\n
AIME is an acronym of Automatic Income and Marketing Engine<\/strong>. It works very similarly with Affiliate Marketing but a lot better because with AIME model we have some very powerful advantages, as you will discover. AIME is designed to automate your business by 90%<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\nSTEPS TO EARNING WITH AIME SYSTEM<\/h3>\n
![\"aimglobal-aime-system-flow3\"](\"https:\/\/aimglobalproducts.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/step-by-steps\/aime\/aime-system-flow3.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
As you can see from the diagram above, AIME is basically a Hybrid Affiliate Marketing (HAM) system. As though we are saying, “Why bring the bacon home, when you can bring the HAM instead!”<\/strong> Yes, it is an improved Affiliate Marketing system I have created. Necessity indeed is the mother of all inventions.<\/p>\nNow lets see how AIME can bring exponential results to the traffic and sales…<\/p>\n
Step #1 to #6 are the Same as Affiliate Marketing, but Better!<\/h3>\n
The steps to earning with AIME System is practically the same from Step #1 to Step #6 except that with AIME you have the following extra benefits:<\/p>\n
\n- The Optin Pages and Thank You Pages are already built-in, so you don’t have to create your own.<\/li>\n
- The gift product to encourage opt-ins to the Mailing List is already created, so you don’t have to create your own.<\/li>\n
- The Auto-responder is already built-in, so you don’t have to install your own.<\/li>\n
- The automatic email messages are already pre-written and are already scheduled for series of sending, so you don’t have to write\u00a0 your own and do the actual sending of emails.<\/li>\n
- The cookie-life is not limited within 24 hours , but 180 days!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
Yet there’s more to love about AIME..<\/p>\n
Step #7:\u00a0 Let AIME Automatically Do the Selling and Duplication for You<\/h3>\n
![\"aimglobal-aime-flow_00007\"](\"https:\/\/aimglobalproducts.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/step-by-steps\/aime\/aime-flow_00007.png\")
The sales commissions are multi-tiers. This would mean that your customers are encouraged by AIME to become your Downlines. Having Downlines would mean that they will also promote your products or offers so they too will earn sales commissions in which you also have a share of their earnings. Since the products are consumables, your Downlines will also do repeat purchases from the online shop , meaning you will also get repeated sales commissions.<\/p>\n
Step #8: Let AIME Automatically Teach Your Partner Customers<\/h3>\n
![\"aimglobal-aime-flow_00008\"](\"https:\/\/aimglobalproducts.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/step-by-steps\/aime\/aime-flow_00008.png\")
To support a “snow ball” effect on the traffic and sales, your downlines are provided training by AIME on how to grow their own business as well. The more their own business grows, your own business grows along with it. The aim is to grow exponentially using AIME as the tool to duplicate man-hours, traffic and sales by leveraging on the number of people joining-in your business. Imagine how much traffic you can produce now that you are not alone generating traffic to your offers.<\/p>\n
What AIME System Could Mean For You?<\/h3>\n
As you have found out, AIME can automate your business by 90%, can duplicate your traffic and sales exponentially, and allows you start immediately because most features are already built-in. With AIME System, there’s almost nothing to worry about except generating traffic –which AIME also has covered by teaching you and your downlines how you can do it efficiently.<\/p>\n
