How Much Will I Make?

When you promote Blended Bites products as an affiliate you will be making a healthy 75 percent commission on every regularly-priced sale that you refer (and 50 percent on any discounted-price sales if/when they take place). There are currently several products that you can promote directly:

170 Healthy Raw Snacks And Treats sells for $17.00 with commission $11.04

However, you will also receive commissions for any other of my products that are promoted to the prospect as well.

If you are familiar with pay per click advertising, and know how to create adverts with appropriately chosen keywords, you can run profitable campaigns while you sleep! Or, if you prefer not to dabble with pay per click, you can simply promote my book on your blog, create a page on Squidoo or HubPages, or write an article and place it on EzineArticles or any other popular article directory. These are just some of the more obvious zero-cost promotional ideas.

There are, of course, lots of other places that you can use to promote the book without spending a penny.

How Often Will I Be Paid?

Because ClickBank® manages the affiliate program for my program (see the next section) the customer actually pays ClickBank directly and they in turn pay you. That means your commission is credited to you the moment the sale is processed.

You are never waiting on me to pay you. ClickBank pays you every two weeks, like clockwork. If there are any refunds to be handled (very infrequent with my program), ClickBank handles that too.

It is a simple system and it works incredibly well for both affiliates and merchants.

Affiliate URL To Sales Page

Because I am using ClickBank to sell my books you only need to sign up as a ClickBank affiliate, get your affiliate nickname and you will be ready to go. The affiliate URL you will need to use to promote my books will look just like this:

				
					http://nickname.blendbites.hop.clickbank.net/

All you need to do is replace "nickname" in this URL with your actual ClickBank nickname.

Note that this STANDARD affiliate URL takes visitors directly to the main SALES PAGE for the books. You can also find other URLs on this page that work as hoplinks but which take the visitor to an opt-in page where they can obtain a free report that promotes these products.

ClickBank also allows you to specify an optional tracking ID, so that you can figure out which campaigns are making you sales. I strongly recommend that you get into the habit of keeping tabs on your referrals this way, since in the long run it will help you establish profitable campaigns. ClickBank allows you to specify a tracking ID with the query string variable tid, so that if your tracking ID was eathealthy for a particular campaign (say a PPC keyword like eat healthy), then you would add tracking like this for that campaign:

				
					http://nickname.blendbites.hop.clickbank.net/?tid=eathealthy

On the remainder of this page you will find material to help you with your promotions.

Blog & Article Swatches

Feel free to use the following promotional copy as blog posts or short articles. I recommend that you rewrite these a little, especially if you want them to be ranked by the search engines (which like unique content). But if you already have a readership you can elect to post these pretty much as is if you like.

Article 01 - Can Delicious Snacks Actually Be Good For You?

Remember sneaking into the kitchen when you were young to steal a snack when mom was not looking? Well, those days might be over if ex-bodybuilding champion Carolyn Hansen gets her way. She has come up with a set of more than 200 dessert and snack recipes that will have mothers everywhere positively encouraging their children to dig in.

The reason? The ingredients. No sugar, flour, or butter to be found in these recipes - just healthy natural ingredients. No cooking either, for the most part, which makes preparation a snap. All a mom need be proficient with in the kitchen to keep her kids satisfied is a blender. That's the conclusion Carolyn Hansen reaches in her collection of recipe books she calls <a href="http://nickname.blendbites.hop.clickbank.net/?tid=article1&ttid=article1&page=20snacks">Blended Bites</a>.

At first glance you might be tempted to think that desserts and snacks prepared without sugar and butter might taste like the experimental designs that mom came up with in your youth when she ran low on those items and could not get to the store. If you share the same memories of those bold snack alternatives that I do you might be quick to dismiss the idea of a tasty snack that foregoes the ingredients that we know contribute to chronic disease in later life. Too much sugar and butter in the diet are prime causes of obsesity, diabetes, and coronary disease.

Carolyn Hansen knew this when she went into her kitchen years ago to find alternatives to the desserts and snacks she found so difficult to remove from her diet. As a competiting bodybuilder she was determined to find a way to keep herself from ruining her progress in the gym by bingeing on unhealthy treats when her willpower wore down.

At first the going was difficult. It turns out that there are a lot of things to take into account when you begin throwing out the staple ingredients of recipes thousands of years old. There were a lot of missteps along the way. But Carolyn perservered, and in the end she came up with desserts and snacks that she could share with her bodybuilder friends. Treats that you can share with your family and friends and know that you are contributing to the maintenance of their health, not only today but for years to come.

So, if you want to get your hands on recipes for desserts and snacks that you will not need to feel guilty about eating the next time you have a craving for something delicious, be sure to check out Carolyn Hansen's books at <a href="http://nickname.blendbites.hop.clickbank.net/?tid=article1&ttid=article1&page=20snacks">Blended Bites</a>, where she shows you how to take control of your blender and churn out mouth-watering desserts and snacks that will have the kids in your neighborhood lined up around the block for a sample.

Article 02 - Eat These The Next Time You Get The Munchies

I defy anyone who gets a case of the munchies to tell me that their willpower alone will be enough to ensure that they don't reach for the cookie jar or the potato chips when no one else is looking. And if you live alone? Come on. If there is no one else around to see your transgressions then you are going to binge on whatever you can get your hands on. That's just what we are - creatures of comfort food.

Maybe like me you avoid buying the things you love to eat. If I have something tasty and within reach, it is going to get eaten. I might be able to stave off for a day or two the desire to slice open a bag of cookies, but I give in eventually, as I am sure you do. So what are we supposed to do, if this kind of behavior is continually contributing to the number of inches around our waist?

One solution is to replace the "bad" snacks, which is practically every piece of junk food that is sold at your local convenience store, with healthy dessert and snack alternatives. But what do those look like? More importantly, what do they TASTE like? I have not-so-fond memories of "healthy" cookies that my mother used to make when the sugar and butter supplies in our household ran low. Thankfully broccoli cookies never appeared on the menu, but nor did anything healthy that also passed as a tasty snack.

Carolyn Hansen, the author of a series of recipe books at <a href="http://nickname.blendbites.hop.clickbank.net/?tid=article2&ttid=article2&page=20snacks">Blended Bites</a>, and she is quite aware of this problem. But she was determined to find dessert and snack recipes that did away with the usual cast of bad characters: sugar, flour, butter, and replace these with healthy substitutes that she could live with as a bodybuilder looking to maintain a healthy diet during her preparations for physique contests. That was some years ago now, and today she is making the recipes she came up with during that period available to anyone who could benefit from being able to grab low-calorie snacks on the run that also taste great.

If you could see some of the photographs of the snacks and treats that she has come up with you would not hesitate to volunteer to be a guinea pig in her kitchen. Would you believe that you can make cheescake alternatives that use no dairy, but look and taste delicious nonetheless? Apparently you can, and this is just one of the recipe types that litter her books.

For more information on this mouth-watering topic I recommend you get yourself across to her site <a href="http://nickname.blendbites.hop.clickbank.net/?tid=article2&ttid=article2&page=20snacks">Blended Bites</a>, grab yourself a copy of the recipe books and put your blender to work. The nice thing about Carolyn's recipes? You don't even need a stove to prepare them - they are basically no cook recipes made from natural ingredients that can go straight to your mouth!

Article 03 - What Makes These Sugarless Snacks Taste Great?

I have to admit that when I heard about snack recipes which featured no sugar I was a little sceptical about how the end product would taste. After all, sugar makes the world go around, or so you might think after spending most of your life scarfing down an endless supply of snack types made with processed sugar.

But there is an alternative to the use of sugar in snacks. At least, this is what Carolyn Hansen says in her books found at <a href="http://nickname.blendbites.hop.clickbank.net/?tid=article3&ttid=article3&page=20snacks">Blended Bites</a>. Nature has come up with some nifty alternatives that are actually quite healthy for us, and which can be used to impart all the sweetness you might otherwise miss in the absense of a dose of sugar.

Dates turn out to be a good way to naturally sweeten the recipes for the desserts and snacks that appear in Carolyn's books. Another alternative that most of us are familiar with is honey. Honey is also an excellent natural sweetener that appears in many of Carolyn's recipes, including those for tempting cheescake delights that you can eat without the least pang of guilt. Yes, that recipe for a pink Strawberry Fields Forever cheesecake concoction is sure to become one of your favorites.

All done without sugar. Even without flour or butter. After all, who needs high-cholestrol butter in their diet when almond butter and coconut butter can be used instead?

Go check out Carolyn's site now and tell me that those images of the Strawberry Fields Forever cheesecake and the Carob Fudge don't make your mouth water. The great thing about these recipes is that they are not just put together with ingredients that are good for you, but they are easy to make AND they do not require any cooking on your part. If you know how to use a blender, Carolyn says, you can easily follow her directions and churn out a plate full of yum yums in no time.

If this whole idea sounds like a treat to you (hee hee) then here's where you can go to find out more about how to add <a href="http://nickname.blendbites.hop.clickbank.net/?tid=article3&ttid=article3&page=20snacks">more than 200 healthy desserts and snacks</a> to your diet. Trust me, if you like to eat, this is something that is worth your time - especially if you would not mind losing a few pounds by eating stuff that tastes like it was designed to put on the pounds, not take them off!

Article 04 - When You Have A Blender, Who Needs A Stove?

I do not remember the last time that I used the stove. But I have a great excuse. The only thing I know how to heat up is a teabag. The downside? I eat out every day and the quality of the nutrition I put into my body is not nearly as good as I know it ought to be.

This is why Carolyn Hansen's books at <a href="http://nickname.blendbites.hop.clickbank.net/?tid=article4&ttid=article4&page=20snacks">BlendedBites.com</a> look so appealing to me. Now the truth is, even though I know I could benefit from eating these amazingly mouth-watering delights, I probably never will. Why? Because I am lazy, and the idea of having to go to the store to get ingredients, put them in a blender, and then simply pour them out onto a tray seems like a lot of work to me. But you might not be as lazy as I am, and you might be prepared to take a couple of steps to eat healthy desserts and snacks rather than the store-bought items that are poisioning me.

Well, posioning might be too strong a word. Still, we all know that the sugar, butter, and other chemical additives that fill traditional snacks are doing none of us any favors. They all contribute in the long run to obsesity and other chronic diseases associated with poor nutrition. This is why when someone comes up with a set of healthy food alternatives we should all take notice, rather than continue to be lazy like I am. I am going to suffer the consequences of my actions, I have no doubt. But that does not mean that you need to do the same.

At least I hope you do not. At the very least, do me a favor and go have a look at the recipe books that Carolyn is offering on her site. If you take a glance at that Strawberry Fields Forever cheesecake alternative, or the Carob Fudge, and you still don't bite (ha ha) then I will know that I did my bit to help your ward off the coronary disease or the hypertension that likely will catch up with you one of these days. Assuming you eat as poorly as I do, that is. You don't, do you?

The bottom line: you will want to go check out the <a href="http://nickname.blendbites.hop.clickbank.net/?tid=article4&ttid=article4&page=20snacks">Blended Bites</a> recipes if you are less than satisfied with the quality of the desserts and snacks that typically end up inside you over the course of a day.

Note About Which Affiliate URL To Use
Although you will find in these promotional articles and emails the hoplink that takes the prospect to a squeeze page (because these pieces all promote the free report) you can always CHANGE the emphasis of the email (or article) if you want, and promote the sales page instead. In that case you would use the standard hoplink.

However you will probably find your conversion rate tends to be higher when sending prospects to the squeeze page. This is because the prospect will see the sales page anyway (right after opting in) and they will be marketed to in the days ahead using the auto responder sequence designed to promote this product. Your affiliate URL will appear on follow up emails that go out during this time.

Note About Tracking Variables
In all of the affiliate URLs appearing in the articles (and in the email swipes below), the tid variable represents the standard ClickBank tracking variable which is NEVER passed through to our landing page.

So, if you want to have your tracking ID recorded as a "lifetime cookie" use the additional ttid variable that we can then append to hoplinks in promotional emails (as the tid variable) along with your Clickbank affiliate nickname.

Email Swatches

One of the benefits of promoting these ebooks is that EVERYONE finds it difficult to simply give up the comfort foods in their lives despite the fact that MOST of it is junk food that is killing us.

That means no matter what your list may be interested in specifically, they are likely to find this subject - healthy desserts and snacks - hard to ignore. That means you can broach the subject with them and use the special report squeeze page to get them to take action. From there, my automated follow up auto responder sequence will do the job of alerting them to the ebooks offered on Blended Bites.

Or you can send them straight to the sales page. However, the squeeze page approach is likely to afford you the best results.

Yes, I know that the subject line of this email sounds like one of those bait and switch techniques, where you throw out an idea that sounds too good to be true and then you sell an idea that doesn't match up with the promise. But not this time. I just found a book called 100 Healthy Raw Snacks And Treats that explains how you really can lose weight without consigning snacks to the list of foods banished from your home:

http://nickname.blendbites.hop.clickbank.net/?tid=email01&ttid=email01&page=20rawsnackrecipes

In a nutshell, if you find that you are always reaching for a tasty snack during the course of your day, here's a way to do it WITHOUT having to feel guilty for doing so. Former bodybuilder Carolyn Hansen has come up with a set of recipes for snacks that toss out all of the fattening ingredients that contribute to those extra inches around the waistline.

No more sugar, no more butter, and very few calories to fret over. I could tell you what her secret is for creating these 100 extraordinary recipes that not only look and taste fabulous, but are also healthy for you, but I don't want to steal Carolyn's thunder, so here's the URL for her book again:

http://nickname.blendbites.hop.clickbank.net/?tid=email01&ttid=email01&page=20rawsnackrecipes

As I mentioned in the subject line, if you want to find out how to include low calorie snacks in your diet that will have you shedding unwanted body fat in no time, then this book is definitely worth checking out. Snacks like Almond Cookies, Caramel Dream Bars, and Cherry Choco Cookie await!

I think I am about to toss my recipe book for good.

BODY

For years I have toiled in the kitchen to produce snacks that my family and myself can enjoy in the evenings as a kind of wind-me-down and reward for making it through yet another day. But if I am going to be honest about it, preparing snacks is a lot of hard work. Then there is the clean-up factor. Whenever you mix together eggs, sugar, flour, and butter you end up with a sink full of containers lined with a gooey mess that you have to clean one way or another.

But it turns out there is a simpler way to prepare snacks that does not involve anywhere near as much mess. I learned about it in a book called 100 Healthy Raw Snacks And Treats:

http://nickname.blendbites.hop.clickbank.net/?tid=email02&ttid=email02&page=20rawsnackrecipes

Basically what the author has done is said "no more eggs, sugar, flour, or butter". Instead she has come up with a set of recipes that do away with these ingredients and she replaces them with a number of far more healthy choices. So not only do you get great tasting snacks that are devoid of the traditional unhealthy ingredients that we know contribute to chronic disease and obesity, but it is a whole lot less messy too.

So if you think it might be time to abandon those weary sessions in the kitchen in favor of putting together simple snack recipes that required mainly just a blender and no need for a stove (no cooking involved ma!) then you will want to check out Carolyn Hansen's little book 100 Healthy Raw Snacks And Treats:

http://nickname.blendbites.hop.clickbank.net/?tid=email02&ttid=email02&page=20rawsnackrecipes

By the way it has a bonus section at the end which includes a set of healthy dessert recipes as well. My favorite: a Strawberry Fields Forever cheesecake alternative.

Clueless in the kitchen? Even I can make these.

BODY

I shun my kitchen. I am not ashamed to say that I am a total doofus when it comes to preparing things to eat. I simply do not like spending my time on creating something that only has a lifetime measured in hours or days. So you will never catch me preparing snacks from scratch. Or at least, you would not have until recently, before I discovered Carolyn Hansen's little book 100 Healthy Raw Snacks And Treats:

http://nickname.blendbites.hop.clickbank.net/?tid=email03&ttid=email03&page=20rawsnackrecipes

For someone like me, this book is a gem. Not only are her snack recipes drop dead easy to prepare (all you really need is a blender to mix things), but there is no cooking involved either. Carolyn is one of those advocates of the no cook lifestyle. She believes that cooking destroys too much of the vitality of food, and she is probably right about that since it is a common belief that cooking does end up destroying much of the enzymatic activity of the vegetables and fruits that we cook.

Anyway, to make a long story short, these snacks contain only natural ingredients - no sugar, butter, flour, or eggs anywhere to be seen on her recipes pages - and they are easy to prepare. So you can eat these healthy snacks without having to feel guilty about the fact that you are doing so. I am all for that!

Here's where you can find her book if you too have been shunning your kitchen for all the wrong reasons:

http://nickname.blendbites.hop.clickbank.net/?tid=email03&ttid=email03&page=20rawsnackrecipes

Believe it or not, she even has recipes for ice-cream and cheesecake in there - all without the use of any diary products. In fact, I think you'll be surprised by a lot of what you find in that book. I know I was.

Go on - snacks like Cherry Choco Cookie, Chocolate Gogi Lemon Bar, and Coconut Fudge Bars await you.

Thought these snacks would taste like cardboard, but I was wrong.

BODY

I just finished checking out a book of so called healthy snack recipes. The author, Carolyn Hansen, says that her little book 100 Healthy Raw Snacks And Treats contains only recipes that are prepared with "raw and living" ingredients. Well, that certainly seems to be true. None of the recipes requires any cooking as part of the recipe preparation and the ingredients are almost 100 percent derived from fruits, nuts, honey, and similar food stuffs that she cleverly substitutes for the ingredients she has banned from her kitchen, like sugar, flour, eggs and butter. She calls her book 100 Healthy Raw Snacks And Treats:

http://nickname.blendbites.hop.clickbank.net/?tid=email04&ttid=email04&page=20rawsnackrecipes

Naturally I was suspicious of her claims that the ingredients she uses would produce snacks that are not only healthy for you, but also taste great too. But I was wrong. The other good piece of news is that these recipes are also very simple in design. Mostly they require that you gather a few ingredients together and toss them into the blender. Even I can do that.

I guess if I had stopped and thought about it for a minute or two I would not have been surprised to find that these recipes really do produce snacks that get your mouth watering. After all, if you are going to be combining ingredients like dates, agave oil, nuts, carob and coconut flesh you ought not be too shocked that the final assembled snack might actually taste quite good.

Well, there are literally dozens of different healthy ingredient's that Carolyn uses in imaginative ways to come up with her surprising recipes. If you are a snack lover like I am I recommend you take a moment to check out the web page for her book:

http://nickname.blendbites.hop.clickbank.net/?tid=email04&ttid=email04&page=20rawsnackrecipes

100 Healthy Raw Snacks And Treats has more than enough recipes in it (like Cherry Choco Cookie, Chocolate Gogi Lemon Bar, and Coconut Fudge Bars) to keep yourself and your family snacking for some time to come, and you won't have to feel the least bit guilty for doing so. These recipes really are good for you - and low carb too!
