Morning!
Yesterday I amazed and astounded you by showcasing how you should cloak your affiliate links before someone steals your commissions.
Okay true, I also revealed how only stealth helicopters can take out speeding cars too. 
Wasn't that video wild?
But I digress.
I know, I know…right now you're wondering just how I could possibly top that topic!
Well wonder no longer, for today….
Today, I'd like to briefly chat about affiliate marketing from the vendor viewpoint!
All together now "ooooOOOOOOoooooo!"
Let's begin, shall we?
Think about the typical product sale process.
You have a sales page.
oooOOOooo
You have that transition between said sales page and the payment method (ie, Clickbank, Paypal, etc.)
oooOOOooo
You have the download page.
But then, you realize you must: (click play click play click play this is called subliminal suggesting click play!)
(g'head, click 'Play'! Took awhile to get that to work right.
Anywhos, yes!
STOP.
Your customer is at at the download page, right?
By this time, the customer has already bypassed the One Time Offer (or perhaps, you just don't like the idea of OTOs in the first place).
And the customer sees a download link for your product.
With me so far?
Alrighty then!
Stay with me here, this is important.
Why not offer discounts/additional goodies *on* the product download page?
Let's say that your customer bought, oh, gee, an affiliate marketing product or yours (like Fast Track Power Affiliate Marketing, say) and arrived at the download page.
It's a pretty safe bet to assume that customer is interested in affiliate marketing, right?
So why not offer other great products related to the customer's purchase?
It could look something like this.
As a long-time affiliate marketer myself, I get tons of questions about other tools one can use to become more profitable with affiliate marketing. Here are some of the most useful I've found!

2.) I had just finished adding them to my own download page *for* the affiliate marketing product.
Nice, eh?
And you're only limited by your imagination!
