There are a lot of ways to give yourself a quick “payraise” in terms of increasing your affiliate commissions.

Here’s one of the easiest (hint: it’s completely under YOUR control!)…

My wife and I have been married since 1994. During the years since our wedding, we have stayed in a variety of hotels ranging from a “glorified closet” to a resort suite, everything from a 1-star rating to a 5-star rating.

We’re not into astronomy, but we do like to see a lot of stars when it comes to our accommodations!

Here’s what Hotels.com says of a “5-Star” rating…

“These luxury hotels offer the pinnacle of service and pampering. Pristine surroundings often include manicured landscaping and famed works of art. Guests may expect multilingual concierge and/or butler services, extensive pool, spa and fitness facilities, and gourmet restaurants with world-renowned chefs. There is typically a high staff- to-guest ratio. Guestrooms feature ample space, designer linens, and special touches such as fresh flowers, champagne and flat-screen televisions. These hotels most often are located in the most desirable cities or resort destinations.”

In other words, 5-star means “the best”. It represents the highest order of a hotel. Or, anything for that matter.

There are 5-star hotels, restaurants, campgrounds, salons, banks and much more.

In fact, you can apply the 1-5 star rating system to just about anything.

Even internet marketing.

What I’d like to do is share some insights into becoming a 5-star internet marketer.

Hiring an affiliate manager to oversee your entire affiliate program operations is one of the key decisions you’ll ever make.

A good affiliate manager can do EVERYTHING for you in terms of getting massive sales for your product or service from affiliates.

I guess the best place to begin is to define what an affiliate manager is.

I’m going to borrow a definition that my own affiliate manager, Nicole Dean, provided in an interview that I include as a bonus in my Sales Army Secrets course.

Do you remember what you were doing 15 years ago on this date? June 3, 1994 … what were you doing?

(That’s probably a bad question to ask … most of us can’t remember what we were doing 15 MINUTES ago! )

I remember what I was doing on June 3, 1994 -

NOTE: The following is part of a regular series entitled “How Would You Do It?” in which I’ll take hypothetical situations and give my own personal response for accomplishing the objective.

TODAY’S SCENARIO -
“If you bought a PLR license to a course entitled, ’101 Tips For Making Money With Online Auctions’ and needed to set it up to sell in the best way possible, how would you do it?”

One of the things that really amazes me about the PLR market is the lack of creativity in using PLR content that most people seem to possess.

Most people would simply take the course mentioned above, slap up a website, cross their fingers, make a few sales and then be off to the next thing.

Ding. Game over. Thanks for playing. We have some nice parting gifts for you.

That’s usually not the best way to use PLR.

Let me propose a better set of steps…
