How to Make Affiliate Commissions Without A Website or List
No list no website no problem!
In this video I am going to show you how to start earning affiliate commissions even if you do not have a website or list.
Many people asked how to get started. Here is a strategy.
1. First make sure you are signed up as an affiliate for Classifiedsubmissions.com
You can sign up here: https://www.classifiedsubmissions.com/a/aff/signup
You will get an affiliate link something link this:
https://www.classifiedsubmissions.com/a/aff/go/youraffiliateid
2. Then go to: https://www.classifiedsubmissions.com/affiliate-program
Where is says “Enter your registered affiliate “username” well, enter your username for classifiedsubmissions.com. Then click submit.
This will populate all the banners and sales letters with your exact affiliate link.
We are going to be using the sales letters down below.
3. Now I want you to sign up for these 3 safelists:
European Safelist: https://www.quickregisterseo.com/europeansafelist
Email-hog: https://www.quickregisterseo.com/emailhog
Herculist.com: https://www.quickregisterseo.com/herculist
Safelists allow you to send our your sales letter to a list of subscribers who have agreed to receive your offers.
The great thing about safelists is that all these people are looking for more traffic to their offers. And that is exactly what we offer at Classifiedsubmissions.com!
I suggest starting with Europeansafelist.
4. Copy and paste one of the letters from our affiliate tools section into the credit mailer.
Personalize with your information.
5. Put your affiliate link in the credit mailer area.
6. Then click send. That is it!
Some safelists allow you to post every day. Others every 3 days.
In any case I suggest posting every day.
You can also use a different letter every day.
Our affiliate tools section has over 7 sales letters for you to use.
The key is to do this for one month consistently.
Just posting one email then waiting for results is a losing strategy. Give yourself at least one month of consistent promotion before evaluating this method.
You can log into your affiliate tools section and see your visitors. There are even ways using keywords to track where the visitors come from.
Do not limit this strategy with just these safelists. Research and find other ones that people are doing well with.
This strategy is just to get you started. Do not wait until everything is perfect.
Get going with this and stay subscribed to both our newsletter and YouTube channel.
We will be giving you more tutorials in future emails and videos.
I can’t wait to start sending you commissions!

How One of Our Top Affiliates Has Earned 414 Commissions Using Herculist (Herculist Review)
How One of Our Top Affiliates Has Earned 414 Commissions Using Herculist
I was going through the stats on the Classified Submissions affiliate program to find out how my top affiliates are generating commissions. This is a screenshot from the affiliate stats page of an affiliate who has consistently earned affiliate commissions:
There are pages and pages of stats like this. This affiliate has earned 414 commissions so far.
One Affiliate Has Earned 414 Commissions and Herculist is One of His Primary Traffic Sources
I had tried Herculist before and found it a bit awkward to navigate. I still have a membership. However, it seems like Herculist is capable of driving solid traffic and conversions for the make money from home market and advertising for the work from home market.
So let’s look at how you can use Herculist to generate affiliate commissions.
Herculist is basically a credit safelist and advertising exchange. Herculist also provides the opportunity to purchase solo ads. Here are some of your options to get traffic to your affiliate link with Herculist:
Herculist Advertising Method #1 . Send Out Solo Mailing Using The Credit and Regular Mailer
If you come is as gold member you can send your ad out every day using the regular mailer. They say the list 282,104. I believe they have a list that big. I do not believe they are going to send your ad out every day to a list that size.
But this is not a problem. They still are going to send your ad out to a reasonable number of people for what you paid. And you can send your ad out every day.
Then there is the credit mailer. The credit mailer is more effective than the regular mailer. With the credit mailer recipients receive a link they can click to visit your website. If they click the credit link and visit your website for a certain amount of time then they receive credits.
They can use these credits to send out their own credit mailer.
What I like about the credit mailer is that for sure you will get eyeballs. Sure they just clicked to get the credits but if you have a very strong offer that appeals to the work from home audience then some people will click and even buy.
Keep in mind I am reviewing this source because one of my affiliates has made 414 sales using this as one of his main sources of traffic!
The catch is that you have to have enough credits to send out a mailing. You need 500 credits minimum to send out a credit mailing. You earn the credits by viewing other people’s ads for 5 seconds if you are a gold member, 15 seconds for free and lower tiered memberships.
You can earn credits by clicking links in credit emails, viewing “blurbs” and just viewing ads. The timer goes quickly and you can rack up credits very quickly.
Herculist Advertising Method #2 -Log In Ads And Solo Emails
You can also just purchase advertising from Herculist. One option is the log in ad. Your full page landing page will be displayed to everyone who logs into Herculist for a certain amount of time. Say 12-48 hours.
Herculist Advertising Method #3 Contact Email Solo Email Packages
Contact email solo email packages are different than using the regular mailer and credit mailer. These are solo emails to the CONTACT emails of their members. These emails are not bombarded with advertising messages like the LIST emails. You will get a much better response sending a solo email to the CONTACT email rather than the LIST email.
Herculist boasts a contact list of over 80,000 members.
Herculist Advertising Method #4 HercuBlurbs
You can also purchase what they call “Blurbs.” They look like this: 
Blurbs are sprinkled around the site. Members are incentivized to click on the blurbs with credits. Yes, Herculist is a bit of a circular firing squad but hey it works!
The Best Way to Approach Incentivized Traffic
People on these sites are deluded with work from home offers. It is very hard to stand out from the crowd. But what do all these people want? More traffic, more exposure. So why not promote exactly what they want?
1. Give away something for free that appeals to marketers
2. Have an simple opt in form with everything above the fold (No scrolling.) You only have a few seconds to grab their attention.
3. Your opt in form should subscribe them to an email follow up series promoting your offers.
Luckily for you we everything set up already for you as our affiliate.

The Most Effective Way to Advertise With Classifiedsubmissions.com
The mosft effective way to advertise with Classifiedsubmissions.com is to use a landing page/squeeze page with an opt in form which leads to an autoresponder rather than directing people to your main web page.
For an autoresponder/landing page creator see https://www.quickregister.net/aweber
See here for a full tutorial both video and written with pictures and step by step instructions on “How to Set Up A Landing Page Cheaply Quickly and Effectively.“
You Only Have A Few Seconds To Grab Your Prospects Attention With Classified Ads And to Get Them to Take One Specific Action.
You only have a few seconds to catch somebody’s attention with a classified ad. If you overwhelm your prospect with too many options and information they will just click away and you will never see them again.
Give Your Prospects Too Many Choices and Too Much Info And They Will Click Away And Never Come Back!
If you go for the sale right away your prospect will either buy on the spot or never come back. It has been proven that prospects generally need 7 follows before they start buying.
It Has Been Proven That Prospects Need At Least 7 Follow Ups Before Buying So Start Following Up!
Is is much better to send your prospect to a squeeze page with just one goal of getting the prospect to give you his name and email. Or better yet just ask for email only.
The More Info You Ask For The Less Opt Ins You Get. Forget About Asking for Phone Numbers, Making Prospects Click Mulitiple Links, Long Forms With Lots of Questions Just Go For Email or Name and Email.
Then your autoresponder can follow up over and over with credibility building information. Even if you are promoting affiliate links like Clickbank links. You can use sales letters for your various affiliate products as follow up letters in your autoresponder series.
After You Get The Prospect’s Email You Can Follow Up Over and Over. You Will Have MULTIPLE Chances to Make Sales Not Just One.
They probably already have sales letters for you. And get prospects to join YOUR newsletter. Then if you change programs later you can always use that list to promote other others.
Here is a video tutorial on how to set up a landing page quick and cheap using Aweber autoresponder service:
We also have a step by step written tutorial here.
The important thing is to just get started. Do not worry about being perfect. You will get better as you go.
We would like to invite you to join our affiliate program. If is free to join and we pay 50% recurring commissions. Our service is improving all the time and is a very hot seller. We have paid out 10’s of thousands of dollars to affiliates. See here to learn more about our affiliate program.
Much Success,

How to Make a Landing Page for Free Using Aweber Autoresponder Service
Using a landing page rather than a complicated website, no matter how well made, can be one of the most effective ways to advertise on initial contact.
Prospects are bombarded with competing advertising. Most people just click off a website never to return if you cannot focus your attention and take action.
Focusing your prospect on just one action you want him to take can increase your chances for a sale.
If the entire goal of your ad is to get the prospect to subscribe you then have the chance to follow up over and over building a relationship with the contact.
The problem is that many people find that creating and hosting landing pages is simply too complicated and expensive.
Using Aweber autoresponder service you can create a dead simple, yet effective landing for free for the first 30 days then just $19. per month after that.
This includes hosting of your autoresponder form as well. So there is no need for your own web hosting account though this is always good to have your own domain and hosting account as well.
Please see the video above for instructions on how to create your own landing page and autoresponder follow up series in less than 30 minutes.
