Branding - What is it and why do I need it?
by Mike Paetzold
If you are marketing on the internet the odds are that you are an affiliate of some programs. This is a great way to get started and even to continue making an online income. The problem comes when you start promoting the various programs. All affiliate programs make it extremely easy to promote their programs. They give you a replicated web site and tell you what a favor they are doing for you because you don’t need your own site to make money and this is true.
What? You are not sure you are an affiliate?
Do you belong to a traffic exchange and promote it to build a downline?
You are an affiliate.
Promote clickbank products?
You are an affiliate.
Do you belong to any program that pays you if you promote and get sign ups?
You are an affiliate.
The problem comes in when you do the promotion of their site you are increasing the brand awareness of their site. Yes, they pay you if you get the sign up but you have now created a customer for them. As you advertise using their page you are creating branding for them. Everyone that sees your promotion gets to see that page which promotes that program not YOU.
Now, why should this matter to you?
I guess the answer to that is really decided by answering the following question.
Do you want to be successful?
Seems like a stupid question doesn’t it. But if you want to be successful you have to do the things that successful people do. That is to brand themselves.
How much better to send people to a page that promotes both you and your affiliate program. It is easily done. Create a logo or signature that carries through on all your promotions. Use that and run people through your own website and give away something to get them to sign up for your newsletter before you send them to the program you are promoting. If you get them to do that you then have the way to continue to build a relationship with that person. If you treat them with respect and give them valuable information they will stick with you.
So the choice is yours. You can give away your prospects or you can create an awareness of you and your business. Which do you think will be more successful?

Important News for Rebranders
A reminder for rebranders. We have acquired resell rights to the "Nettle 2006". This must be resold for a minimum price of $27. Now we both read and subscribe to "The Nettle" an every other week paid ezine. This volume has some of the best articles from the past year and anyone buying it gets a three month subscription to "The Nettle", resell rights for "Nettle 2006", Impact Pop Up with resell rights and Louis Allport Video Collection (with resell rights). The exception to the $27 minimum is that anyone who has spent $27 or more with our program can be given this product. As each rebrander has already spent that much with us we have sent them the link to the thank you page as a thank you from us.
Anyone that would like to buy this package may do so here or rebrand your copy of Opt In Master Course and we will forward you the link to the thank you page upon receipt of your subscription. (Please allow 24 hours for this to happen as it needs to be manually done).
The Nettle is a great paid ezine. We both read each issue and learn something from each issue. They will be raising the price of it at the end of March. Personally, we think David has gone a bit nuts as he is offering a special for new members until then. Your first two months free and a list of bonuses that is too large to list. It includes over 13 items. If you are looking for something more than your average newsletter, take the time to check them out here.
In response to the many requests we have received, we just created a viral marketing series that is available to each Opt In Master Course rebrander. The new series can be copied and pasted into your responder or, if you use Email Aces, you can simply have the five part e-mail series imported into
your responder automatically.
This mini-course is a great way to warm up your opt-in prospects and open the door for a long, profitable relationship.
And don't forget, when you make the very wise decision to rebrand your copy of the Opt-in Master course, you'll earn $27 every time you sell a rebrander package to another marketer. This payment will go directly into your paypal account. We never even touch these funds.
Plus you'll be able to insert your own referral IDs right into your own copy of the Opt in Master Course before distributing it. So anyone you give the free course to will join our recommended programs list
through your referral URL!
There are currently 23 programs in the Opt in Master Course that YOU can earn viral traffic and affiliate commissions from. Even more great programs will be added over time.
And of course as a rebrander you'll have access to six list-building splash pages and your own Opt In Master Course sales page that sends prospects straight to your autoresponder after they request your customized copy of this course.
Open up your copy of Opt in Master Course right now and click on the 'Make Money w/this Book' link to learn more about becoming a rebrander.
Thanks for your support and we are here to help you build a profitable list.
