In fact, it works so well that one buyer posted this on my blog:  &#8220;The formula on page 17 is worth at least 100&#8230;times the modest investment&#8230;and not just for affiliate marketers.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Big claim?<\/p>\n<p>Maybe a bit of &#8220;puffery&#8221;?<\/p>\n<p>Hey, see and judge for yourself:<\/p>\n<p>One of the things I insist people do when choosing an affiliate product is to make sure the product has a unique and interesting STORY behind it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>This <em>alone<\/em> can close many a sale.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>My favorite example is Ryan Healy&#8217;s freelancer eBook.<\/p>\n<p>There are other similar products out there.<\/p>\n<p>Including a few by some &#8220;big name&#8221; copywriters.<\/p>\n<p>But Ryan&#8217;s stands out like a glowing red nose in the fog. <\/p>\n<p>Why?<\/p>\n<p>Because Ryan wasn&#8217;t &#8220;handed&#8221; anything.  He had no special breaks&#8230; no special contacts in the industry&#8230; and had a LOT of pressure on him to succeed (he had no job and only two weeks of money with a mortgage, a child, a pregnant wife and no insurance &#8212; whoa!)<\/p>\n<p>Talk about an interesting story!<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s also inspirational and <em>valuable<\/em>, too.<\/p>\n<p>And a lot of struggling freelancers can relate to it and, thus, believe in the product enough to give it a shot.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, there&#8217;s other criteria besides a great story.  <\/p>\n<p>But you know what?<\/p>\n<p>Methinks if you did nothing but sell products built around fascinating stories, you will probably be successful.<\/p>\n<p>And that ain&#8217;t no bull.<\/p>\n<p>To read more about this, go to:<\/p>\n<p><strong><\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.AffiliateTrumpCard.com\">www.AffiliateTrumpCard.com<\/a><\/div>\n<p><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Ben Settle<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here&#8217;s a question about affiliate marketing&#8230; &#8220;Ben, I&#8217;m new to the Internet and decided to try my hand at affiliate marketing but I am unsure of how to pick a good product to sell.
