1 INTRODUCTION – WHO IS CHRIS MITTY
I have been a successful Technology Consultant since 2005 and I started my
Internet Marketing journey back in 2008. Since then, I have been a specialist to
some of the world’s largest companies. In addition to this, I sell products in a
number of niches, and have even created my own software products.
And….
As I was already into Technology, making a move into online sales was the
perfect choice for me. It allowed me to create a new business, right from the
comfort of my own home. There is no better feeling than to wake up knowing
you have already made money, even whilst you were asleep. This is what I like
to call a “Truly Automated Business”. I don't have to open a shop selling my
products and services and then wait for customers to walk in. I simply spend a
bit of time up front producing products and creating websites that promote other
people’s products, automating my offering, and then the rest is down to
marketing. I love nothing better than to deliver quality content to my visitors,
regardless of the niche it may be in. I hope you can learn from me and what I
have personally managed to achieve in what is relatively a short amount of
time.
But I’m not technical Chris!
Many people say this to me and think you must know about Technology in order
to be a successful online entrepreneur. You do not need to be a Technology
expert to be successful in an online business, this is fact. You do need to be
willing to learn though, and the benefits far outweigh the efforts. I provide
mentoring to help you every step of the way and will share lots of valuable
information both on my Blog and YouTube channel to help you on your way to
online success.
I started from scratch as an Internet Marketer, by spending thousands of
pounds learning the industry. Applying the different business models, and in
that time, I found out what works, and what doesn’t.
Why should you be coached by me? Well, the above speaks for itself. I also
know Technology pretty much inside out. My business is successful, and it is
something I have worked hard to achieve. I know that you can also have the
same level of achievement as I have, if not more! I want to share these exact
same methods I use so here's to your success!
1.1 The Purpose of This Report
The purpose of this report is to share with you a proven system for making a
pretty nice income online. I will provide you with lots of information in an easy to
read manner. I will not over complicate things by bombarding you with technical
jargon. One thing we must make clear right now is….
This Is Not A Get Rich Quick Scheme
Those systems just don’t exist in my opinion. All businesses are built on a solid
foundation, and this, my friend, is called a business plan, a plan of action that
you can execute time and time again.
**Multiple revenue streams are key to online success**
**People buy on emotion and justify with logic**
**Sell with emotion, justify logically why this is a good choice**
The way I make money online is really simple. I will walk through with you how I
do this step-by-step so you can also use these exact same methods to start
making some passive income.

Scratch...
2 AFFILIATE MARKETING KNOW HOW
2.1 Internet and Affiliate Marketing
Internet Marketing has always been one of the most popular methods of making
money, simply because it requires very little start-up capital. It centres around
selling something you have personally created, something someone else has
created, or something that someone else is selling, and you are directing
potential customers to it, in order to gain some sort of commission. In a nutshell,
this is what earning money online is all about. This can be physical products,
digital products or even professional services. Marketing is how you position
yourself online in order to receive commissions, as you are the affiliate.
Compare this to a traditional shop, where you must invest thousands of pounds
up front, find premises, hire staff, then open up every day hoping people walk
through that door and purchase your goods. I have lost count of the number of
shops I see open and close on a regular basis.
For anyone who is just starting out, there’s no easier or faster method of
generating income. For anyone who already operates their own online
business, selling other people’s products can create a substantial boost to the
income they’re already receiving.
The primary appeal comes from the fact that the only task the affiliate has to
perform is promote whatever product or service they believe has good sales
potential. The owner of the product or service does everything else.
In theory, you don’t even need a website in order to make money as an affiliate.
You can simply promote your assigned affiliate link and then send prospective
buyers to the owner’s sales page. The affiliate links are provided by the vendor
or market place. This means your start-up capital is extremely low.
Of course, the obvious drawback is that almost every other affiliate will be doing
the exact same thing. If all you’re doing is directing targeted traffic through your
affiliate sales link, you’ll be competing on an equal level with countless other
people who are promoting the same product. The only way to break out of the
pack is to market and promote the affiliate product in a more intelligent and
aggressive manner.
To do this, you can’t just send traffic to an offer page with your affiliate link in the
hope it will convert. It may convert, but the conversion rate will be quite low. It is
much more effective to create your own website, or opt-in page, and give value
to your potential customers before asking them to buy from you.
The purpose of your video, website or blog is to pre-sell the item to potential
customers. In other words, you get the prospect primed and ready to purchase
prior to sending them to the vendor site.
2.2 The Three Steps
So… …its’ all about the 3 steps...
All you need is to master just 3 simple steps... (and you can rest assured that I’ll
cover each of these with you in turn. There are some fancy ‘tweaks’ you can
make at each of these stages to really maximise your success, which I’ll tell you
about too...) Sounds good?! Great. So what are these 3 steps?
2.2.1 You need something to sell
OK, I know this sounds ridiculous, but in order for people to willingly hand over
their money they need to have a reason to. If you can offer a product or a
service, or both, that somebody really wants, then ... fantastic! You have
something to sell, whether you own the product or not.
There are plenty of successful Internet Marketers that have never made a
single product of their own ... ever! And will continue to make thousands of
dollars every year. Personally, I quite like creating my own products, so I do ...
but there is an alternative way.
Let’s use Amazon as an example. They have the world’s largest affiliate
program, and you can get commission on products simply by sending people
to the Amazon marketplace through your affiliate link.
You can sell so many types of products online, but those that sell best are
products that solve a problem for the end user. Products related to self-help,
fitness, software and all types of physical products will sell well. Here are some
examples:
• Software
• Fitness
• Home and Family
• Hobbies
• Relationships
• Self-Improvement / Help
• Technology
Go over to Amazon right now, and just browse through some of the categories.
Anything that has a large number of positive customer feedback is usually
doing very well in terms of sales volume. There are not enough hours in the
day to count all the products, you just need to count those that are popular,
and that offer a decent affiliate commission. The same applies to any affiliate
program. The thing is though, if you drive enough traffic through your affiliate
offers, even low commission sales will all add to your bottom line.
2.2.2 You need somewhere to sell it
Whatever product or service you have, you need to be able to show it off so
that people can appreciate what it is that you’re offering and have the
opportunity to buy!
It is extremely important that you have your own website, blog or use video to
promote your products. This is easier than you think, and later in this report I
provide some more information on this topic.
2.2.3 You need someone to sell to
Now I know you may think I’m a bit crazy even mentioning this step. But I do
because I’ve seen new starters overlook this stage with rather devastating
consequences.
You could spend a great deal of time sourcing or creating a superb product,
but even with a superb product and the best marketing in the world, if you
don’t have a market for the ‘thing’ you have created, you’ll not make a single
penny!
I make my money online by selling a combination of digital and physical
products, and I don’t even own most of them. There are lots of niches which
people are interested in, and willing to pay for. You do not need to be an
expert in these fields because if you progress as an affiliate marketer, which is
what I am recommending, the hard work of creating the product has already
been done by someone else.
The business of selling software, books, manuals, courses, reports, audio
products is a license to print as much money as you wish, providing you follow
a proven Internet Marketing strategy and direct traffic to those offers. The only
way you will not make money with this strategy, is if you fail to implement it.
You just need to be consistent with your content marketing and build your
business.
There Is No Other Business As Profitable As The
Information Business
There are many people already in the same business, but it really isn’t a
saturated market. Just look at eBay or Amazon for example. There are so
many people doing the same thing, selling similar products, all at different
price points.
You just need to find your own position in that market, and then dominate it for
years to come with your own products or marketing efforts, driving potential
customers to offers. If you have no idea how to position yourself in a chosen
market, look at what other affiliate marketers are doing, and re-engineer their
efforts, but with a different product.
You may be thinking “Wouldn’t you want to keep this to yourself then Chris?”
No, the reason for this is because there are literally hundreds of thousands of
products out there that are great to get into, so sharing this with you is my way
of giving back what I have learned and helping others to be successful online.
I am in the Technology business, and I like teaching people what I have
learned, so they can have their own success. We all learn from others in some
form or other, it is how the world works.
2.3 Tools of The Trade
I have given you a high-level introduction to affiliate marketing now, and what it
is all about. It would not be complete if I didn’t go into a bit more detail around
the typical tools of the trade both myself and other marketers are using.
2.3.1 Website or Blog
Depending on what you want to achieve, you will either have a website or
blog. A blog can have a niche specific name, or it can be about you, just like
my blog is. If you go all out with an authority website, it will have more of a
standard look and feel, as opposed to a blog which is geared towards posts on
a particular topic. I personally use both, so you should also do the same.
I recommend WordPress, which is an open source software platform that
enables you to create a beautiful website, or blog, or even a hybrid of the two
under the very same domain name.
When I first started out, simple drag and drop website builders where not
available for integration with WordPress. I created my very first site 100%
using HTML code, but today you can have a website live within just an hour or
so using WordPress. Guess what, I don’t bother with HTML anymore like I
used to.
Creating A Website or Blog Is Easier Than Ever
You want to become an authority in whatever niche market you intend to
operate in. You could have a series of smaller mini-sites, or a larger authority
website. With larger sites and more original content, you will drive more traffic.
With more traffic you can offer more products, whether they be your own or
other peoples.
2.3.2 Hosting
Before you can create a website or blog, you need a hosting account, and they
are very cheap and simple to setup. There are lots of providers, and I
recommend the following:
HostGator
I have used HostGator for many years now (see my first invoice below) as they
are extremely popular with over 8 million domains and offer a 1 click
WordPress installation. Their server uptime is 99.9% and I have never had an
outage in the last 8 years on any of my websites.
• Excellent WordPress support
• Good uptime, reliable, fast load times
• Never had any issues personally
• No free domain but domain names are inexpensive anyway
>> Click Here To See HostGator Plans <<
Bluehost
Bluehost have become one of the largest brand names when it comes to
WordPress hosting. I do not use them myself at the time of writing this report,
but I may do in the future, just to try them out. I still give them the thumbs up
as they have been rated number 1 for web hosting for small businesses many
times over. They do offer free domain names too as part of sign up, it just
means you may have to take out an extended term hosting plan.
• Excellent WordPress support, good uptime, fast load times
• Discounts on WordPress hosting and domain names
• Officially recommended by WordPress
• Support has been reported to be slow occasionally
>> Click Here To See Bluehost Plans <<
SiteGround
Another popular provider in the WordPress community, SiteGround, who also
provide 24/7 support and are also an official WordPress hosting provider. I do
not use SiteGround either, but they do offer a great service, so worth looking
at.
• Excellent WordPress support, good uptime, fast load times
• Officially recommended by WordPress
• No free domain but domain names are inexpensive anyway
>> Click Here To See SiteGround Plans <<
Between the 3 options, the hosting control panels are similar in nature, using
CPANEL, which is a graphical interface given to users, so they can manage
their hosting account with ease. I am going to personally recommend all 3
here, because they are the best in the industry. For me, I use HostGator and
have never had any issues with outages or performance. Feel free to look on
each of the respective providers websites and make your own decision. If you
have any questions, head over to my blog and just ask me.
2.3.3 Visitor Interaction
You can engage with your visitors via email regularly using email
autoresponder services such as AWeber, a service I have personally used
myself since the beginning of 2011. Here is my first sign up invoice, where
they charged me $1. There are many others, but I outright recommend
AWeber to be one of the best out there.

2.3.4 Affiliate Networks
I mentioned Amazon earlier, but there are so many programs out there you can
sign up to. If you google affiliate programs, you will find so many. Each program
will offer different levels of commission, depending on the products on offer.
Here are just a few of the larger programs I personally use:
• Amazon associates
• Clickbank
• Jvzoo
• Max Bounty
Top Tip: Head over to offervault.com, an aggregation of lots of affiliate
networks
2.3.5 Traffic
Traffic is at the heart of your business and is the difference between success
or no success. You can get traffic through:
• Organic search engine searches
o Onsite and offsite search engine optimisation of your
blog/website.
• Paid Advertising
o Facebook, YouTube, Google Adwords, Native Advertising networks
• Video creation
o YouTube, Vimeo, Metacafe
• Article Marketing
o EzineArticles, GoArticles, Buzzle, ArticleDashboard
You can really ramp up your marketing efforts by introducing pay per click
advertising. To make money, you sometimes have to spend it, and providing
the numbers stack up, this can be a very good strategy for increasing sales
and income in your business. Video these days is an extremely powerful way
of getting 100% free traffic if you are starting out on a budget.

3 TO BE EMPLOYED OR SELF EMPLOYED
If you want to make decent money, the only way to do it is to go out there and
make it yourself! Ok that is not exactly true, but if you make a success of your
business, you will go with my view. Think about this, where you see lots of
amazing houses. I am talking 5 and 6 bedroom properties, selling between
£600,000 for smaller homes, right up to £2,500,000 + for larger 6 bedroom
homes in really nice areas, who do you think owns them?
You could be lucky and end up being the Chief Executive of a company who are
paying you hundreds of thousands, enough to afford a property worth
£1,000,000 or more, however the likelihood of this happening is slim for most of
us. The thing is, when you look around, you get to understand that these people
are all involved in business. Not necessarily online businesses, just business in
general.
When you work for someone else, your progression is always limited in some
way or other by either your boss, or the organisation, as they ultimately hold the
key to your destiny. People hop about from job to job to get the increase they
feel they deserve, and for those that stay put, they are in the keep net, lucky to
receive a rate of inflation increase.
I have nothing against those that do not like having their own business, because
there are so many benefits to working for someone else that I personally do not
have. Everyone has a place, and if you are reading this, it’s because you have
made a conscious choice to take on something completely new, or as a side
line business to supplement your current line of work.
The tables below show the ten highest and ten lowest paid occupations in the
UK respectively, as of April 2018, and these are median figures before tax has
been taken. Apologies if my figures are a little incorrect, but they represent a
37-40 hour week working for someone else. If you are in other parts of the
world, figures will vary, but you get my point. Where do you fit in?
Occupation Median full-time gross weekly pay (£)
Aircraft pilots and flight engineers £1,846
Air traffic controllers £1,549
Marketing and sales directors £1,298
Advertising and public relations directors
£1,289
Information technology and telecommunications directors
£1,226
Legal professionals £1,217
Medical practitioners £1,167
Brokers £1,149
Financial managers and directors £1,143
Occupation Median full-time gross weekly pay (£)
Cleaners and domestics £281
Nursery nurses and assistants £285
Retail cashiers £278
Leisure and theme park attendants £280
Kitchen and catering assistants £281
Hairdressers and barbers £320
Launderers, dry cleaners and pressers
£290
Waiters and waitresses £300
Bar staff £300
If you are lucky enough to have made it into the top earning category, you
probably started many years ago when qualifications were not required, and I
am talking approximately 25 years ago, or have worked your way up the ladder
over the last 25 years to get to your current position, taking regular training
offered by your employer. So, not so lucky, as you have had to work hard to get
where you are. You are in the higher earner category within the country.
If you are in the second table, you may have still trained very hard to get to
where you are, because all jobs these days require lots of training. It just so
happens that for all the effort we put in, some jobs will always pay more than
others.
3.1.1 Where do you want to be?
In order to get into a professional job these days, you really do have to go to
university or take on some other form of professional qualifications specific to
the role, and it takes years to qualify. Even then, you will start on a low wage
for that sector, as companies know you just want the job. About 12 years ago
university fees where approximately £1000 per year in the UK, and I thought
that was expensive then. More recently, you are looking at approximately
£6000-9000 per year in fees, all covered by a student loan, before factoring in
the cost of living on top of that.
Many people stay on at school or college, followed by a university degree of
up to 4 years. Leaving that £300 per week job behind from the table above,
this means you have basically left £93,000 on the table over the last 6 years.
Now add on £50,000 in student loan debt. In 6 years you could easily work
your way up in a non-skilled job to earn more than £300 per week, so your
actual loss would be higher than the £93,000 I quoted above.
Now, if you went to university, you are £50,000 down by the time you start
your first job, and given the starting salaries for professional jobs will still be
between £21,000 and £25,000, you then have nearly the price of a mortgage
to pay in student loan repayments, before even thinking about buying a house.
I am not saying do not go to university, because it did actually work for me, at
the time. Personally though, I would not go to university these days, because
there are other ways to start earning straight away, without having to spend 4-
7 years in college and university before you earn a penny.
I wanted to write this up just to give you a little bit of perspective on things. It is
not intended to lower the tone, but to show you that there are ways to get to
where you want to, and it does not always mean following the path of others,
what others recommend, or what others say you need to do in order to get a
pay rise. Start making your own decisions about that right now.
I don’t know about you, but I am not willing to wait around whilst a couple of
managers decide whether or not I will get a 1 or 2% rise. That 2% average rise
on a UK £25,000 salary is equal to an additional £500 per year before tax so
think about that next time you put in unpaid overtime to “stand out from the
work crowd” in the hope you will get a rise.
There is no logic here in my view unless the remuneration matches the effort
put in, which it often never does. Once I learned this lesson, making money
online for me was simple. I know exactly what to look for and how to go about
setting up my next venture. When there is something worth learning it is
matched by effort. This is what a lot of people lack and is why they are never
successful. You should learn that as you yourself start to put in the effort with
your affiliate marketing ventures, it will be matched by a return for your hard
work. Only then my friend will the penny/cent really start to drop.
The fact remains that the Internet is one of the easiest ways to start a home-
based business. You can get started with very few costs and little experience.
That's why I encourage anyone who is hesitant about trying it, to just jump in
and get their feet wet. It's not expensive to get started, and the upside is
astronomical. I am living proof of this.

Mindset. You Need To Be Looking For Sustainable
Income
4 CONCLUSION
4.1 Some Final Thoughts
Many individuals right now are sick of running to a daily job of 9 in the morning
to 5 in the evening and so they're seeking best home businesses ideas. Check
out this google keyword search I have just carried out, people really want this
way of living.
There are numerous home businesses and the only thing that you have to do is
to look around and get more of an idea yourself. Running your own home
business has got lots of benefits. You get to work at whatever time that you
wish and likewise at the comfort of your own home. This is really nice as you've
time for your loved ones and friends compared to being an employee.
With online business, there are no bosses to follow you around and question
you for every error you make.
4.2 Don’t Procrastinate
Every day you procrastinate, every day you are losing money. Very soon you
could be well on your way to making your first sale on-line (or perhaps
improving your current sales on your blog or website).
So, enjoy the journey and keep your eyes peeled for updates from me shortly.
