    Hey guys, I decided to show you how I am making money for absolutely Free.

    To save my time and yours, I will get to the point without fluff or fillers.

    Note: I don't know if I will make money, but according to my experience, I should make a few bucks.

    Note that the same strategy (this case study) could be sold for more than $97, but it's not my style.

    Note that for this strategy to work, the product should be hot, convert, and be relativelt new.

    Give to receive, anyone?

    OK, I've just used the strategy for a product and made $135. My best commission so far was $500 for one product sold, and last week I made $497 (note that it was only one sale.)

    I will update each time I make something new to show you my progress, and hopefully: sales!

    Ok, so here is what I did so far:

    #1) I joined the affiliate program for this website, because I know it is a great product, and obviously, video is ultra hot (actually, everything with video, poadcast, audio...)

    #2) I got my affiliate links (2 mn)

    #3) I created a PHP redirect link

    Why?

    Because it's more professional, and MSN pick those links sometimes, and for link cloaking. Read this article for more infos on link cloaking.

    How to make PHP a redirect link?

    Easy:

    1) simply open a text file (.txt), and copy this piece of code:

    <?php
    header("location:http://Youraffiliatesite.com");
    ?>

    2) Save it as NAMEOFTHESITE.php

    3) Upload it to your server

    Note: You can copy it in the main directory of your site, or in a subdirectory

    4) Create your new PHP redirect aff link:

    suppose you created the link in a subdirectory of your site (like I did):

    This is what to do: http://www.Yoursite.com/NAMEOFTHESITE.php

    See how it's easy?

    Let's move on....

    #4 I posted a blog post on my SEO optimized wordpress blog:

    http://mynetmarketingland.com/blog/2007/03/audio-video-riches-review-by-jason-james/

    I looked at many of the videos, and I found that the program was a good one to promote, so I went ahead. I can put my name on this since it is valuable.

    The title of the post has review at the end, because obviously, someone who is looking for a review is looking to buy.

    Note: I added an image with the proper alt tag, because SE prefer beautiful sites! A site with image is nicier to look at.

    Here is what I will do now:

    #5 Download the rebrandable PDF and upload it to my server with my embeded affiliate links.

    #6 I will post another blog post to four of my blogs, and post the URLs when I am done.

    #7 I am going to post an article on:

    ezinarticles. com
    goarticles.com
    articledashboard.com

    Sales so far: $0,00

    the product sells for $97 and I make $44 commission.

    Ok, back to work...
