The traffic had been hectic, parking as per usual was a nightmare and you are almost late, the plane will land in less than 5 minutes as you rush through the front entrance. You spot the brightly lit up board with arrival times and soon you are fighting your way through the mass of lingering body's to get close enough to see. You have risked a lot and spent a fortune to get to here.

Eventually you get a good view as the six foot guy in front of you decides to move on after you had been zigzagging behind him for about a minute, which felt more like an hour.

Your eyes scan the details from the incoming fifty planes, but you don't see the flight anywhere. It must be there, you think, the date and time is correct. You scamper over to the information desk as quickly as possible, and with a dazed look on your face a kind lady tells you that the plane will not be landing here, it is going to land in a place you barely know.

A cold chill runs down your spine when you suddenly realize that now you will never meet, speak or exchange names. All the effort and money you put in has been for someone else. Where that plane now lands they will meet with open arms and they will get to know each other. All you end up with is maybe a little thank you note, later on.

Yes, it is bad isn't it?

So, why are you doing it to yourself, every day?

Most affiliate marketers are doing this every day without even noticing it. You are paying for all the tickets, but the passengers you paid for are all landing at a totally different airport. They are eagerly welcomed by someone else who will get to know them and gain from them.

So what exactly am I going on about here.

It is called landing pages, if you are an affiliate marketer and you are not using landing pages you are losing out, big time.

As an affiliate marketer you are marketing someone else's products, which is a good thing, as it gives you time to market and not spend ages creating new products. Affiliate marketing has worked well for a lot of people over a long period of time and it will continue to work. You, as an affiliate, should ensure that you receive your fair share of the profits. Remember, when you buy on the internet you always give your details. Be it to receive updates or to get to the download page. As a result you are then placed on their list. They can mail you at any time with a new product or service they are offering, and in most cases if you as an affiliate sent the customer there for the first sale, you will not see anything from consecutive sales made. Whether this is fair or not, does not matter, what matters is what you do to get the advantage back.

Have your own landing pages!

First of all, successful marketers have a list, that is a list containing the details of people that are interested, or have shown interest, in the products or services they are marketing. Many of those lists make recurring sales over and over again. Make sure you create your own.
