15 Minutes Later

January 18, 2011 - Last Modified: August 25, 2011 by Hesham Zebida 2,019

Free Affiliate Marketing Guide

To me, 15 minutes is all what it takes to decide whither to promote a new product or just forget about it for ever! Promoting products online is not an easy job, but there are a few tricks that may help, there are also things that you should avoid, and other important and must do things. Being able to make good number of sales and earning a decent amount of money online is really motivating me to continue this journey.

I have asked by my friends and blog readers to share some tips on how I really make money online and what’s the most source of my income, so -without talking to much about numbers here- I am excited to pronounce my first ever affiliate marketing guide.

15 Minutes Later Guied

Most people don’t value free stuff! They think it was given to them for free because it doesn’t worth any money! To me, establishing relationships with real people worth more than any money in this world, and this guide is given to you to establish a good relationship together, you and me!

The 15 Minutes Later affiliate marketing guide has about 20 pages of extremely high valuable information, it’s really dangerous stuff, so be careful and never say I haven’t warned you 🙂

In this guide, I will explain to you my own and very personal ways of promoting products online, and I will share with you the story of how I made more than $1500 from promoting one single product in only 2 months by working (Hard) for only a few hours!

And, no.. It’s not a step by step guide, and it’s not a boring read, and I am not going to waste your time. It’s just a true story happened to me, and I would love it if you learn something good from it!

Why 15 minutes?

I fall in love in a few seconds! (Of course with the product, so don’t get me wrong .. I know you -:)

The idea of naming my affiliate marketing guide “15 Minutes Later” was just a simple idea came into my mind while I was writing it, I know that in most cases I found great products by doing a 15 minutes research, I got excited so quick, and I start working on my plans and promotion faster than you think!

Want to know my best sales products?

The hardest part of affiliate marketing to me is finding a good product, it really takes effort and time as I always try products before writing up my review or even deciding to review them, I do even what is worst than that when someone contact me asking to review her/his product or service and showing the willing to pay to get a review, I require them to send me a review copy of their product, then I take my time depending on the type of product they want me to review, after that it comes the “yes” or “no”, and some times I don’t respond when I don’t have a clear answer! It’s more complicated that most people think, I don’t want to review products the old fashion way, simply because I don’t like it, and it doesn’t work for my blog readers. And by default, what doesn’t work for my readers, absolutely doesn’t work for me!

I’ve promote a few product during 2010 and I had great luck with products like:

  • Thesis Themes, I even started my own Thesis Skins site.
  • OptimizePress Theme
  • Popup Domination plugin for WordPress
  • Keyword Winner SEO plugin for WP
  • ElegantThemes for WordPress
  • And more..

I am honored to say that I could hit the five figures income on the first year of blogging if 2010 had 13 months, but unfortunately a year has only 12 months!

How to Get the 15 Minutes Later Guide?

Alright, I bet you know it because you can’t be on the wrong page 🙂

But… Just in case.. There is a damn so good looking brand new opt-in form below every blog post, add your name and email, hit the download button, and it’s all yours!

Oh! don’t forget to activate your subscription after you opt-in or you won’t get any guides or super tips!

P.S. I highly appreciate any kind of sharing, so please hit some buttons here and there to share this post with your friends and followers.

      Oh Fran, thank you so much for your kind words! I really appreciate it
  8. AJ Clarke says:
    Hey Hesham I finally got around to reading the guide. Great stuff man - good read. I love the way in which you state the obvious, like "don't piss of your readers" or "don't promote crap". And the thing is, while these things sound obvious, most people fail in these departments...Anyway, to anyone still deciding whether or not to download and read, do it! You can always un register for the newsletter if Hesham "pisses you off by promoting useless crap" :) , which I am sure won't happen.
    • Hesham says:
      Well.. I can not say I am the perfect person for the job :)
  9. Morgan Barnhart says:
    Hey Hesham! Oooh! This looks interesting!!! I've never really been a fan of affiliate products, and it's probably because I just don't know how to use them properly. I can already tell this will be helpful! Cheers!
    • Hesham says:
      I just try to make it more easy and simple to understand how to affiliate products and really make sales! I hope you will find some good tips in my guide!

          Oh! I am so sorry to hear that! so sad! My deepest condolence , please let me know if you need anything!
  14. Fran Aslam From Onlinewriter says:
    Hi Hesham: So you take 15 minutes to decide about a product. I might take 15 days. That is because my experience in this field is much less than yours. You are a pro and I accept it. That is why I am here. I have to download the free guide. Thanks So, how do you promote your products, because for a super affiliate, just simply, from the blog is not enough. Fran A
    • Hesham says:
      Hi Fran, Yes, from the blog is not enough and this is what most people don't know! A better working way is explained in the e-book :) P.S. I just sent an email to you!
  15. Tran Tinh says:
    That is a share mate :-) I think sometimes 15 mins is too much or we need more for other bigger thing and I can say, within 15 mins, some of use can make a thousand or more. Great bonus for your readers Hesham
    • Hesham says:
      It really depends on how you work it out and as you said some product takes more time!
  16. Latief says:
    I know that one day you'll come in to this kind of thing dear old friend :) Success for you now and in the future. It's getting hard to catch you Hesham, lol! Thanks for the guide I'll promote this in my blog ;) I know my beginners friend will love this stuff ;) Hi Hesham, you are always shocking me dear brother ;)
    • Hesham says:
      Haha.. it took me years Latief , glad you like it my friend, and I really appreciate if you share this news with your blog readers! Thanks a lot!
      • Latief says:
        Yes we all agree that blogging is long term commitment :) and like I said in my interview with you, success (and or money) will come regarding to your effort and hard work and now I have a good sample about that ;) I'm working on the article and I'll let you know about that bro and hope you like it :D
        • Hesham says:
          Great.. great! oh! I see that you added your post URL in the Twitter ID field, this created a broken link :) Maybe next time you can fix that when you add a comment haha
  17. The Bad Blogger says:
    Well... actually, I quickly scroll down and sign in to get ur valuable stuff... because I knew ur stuff is real information. I don't usually said that, because I had been reading and following your blog and content, I know ur stuff is real and informative, and now I'm going to read it. Oh... you know I have got something to say about writing review for products, I mean... last year there are 3 blogger emailing me to write a review for their product and when I ask them about giving me access to their product.... guess what two never reply... their other said he will sell me at a lower price.... I mean wtf... I didn't want to name them... but I think they know who they are....
    • Hesham says:
      Oh! yes, I know this kind of people, they are everywhere, shit happen everywhere, and no need to name them though! But you may need to just ask them for access and pay you to review the product, and keep doing it till you find the good guys ;) Thank you so much for you awesome comment! This is really encouraging! I hope you will the guide useful.
  18. element321 says:
    Hesham, Just finished reading your new ebook. It looks great and there is a lot of good information in there. Thanks for sharing.
    • Hesham says:
      Hey James, you are welcome buddy! glad you enjoy it :)
  19. Aurelius Tjin says:
    Actually different kinds of products need different approaches in marketing. Some might not need too much research, some do require research. It really depends on what you will be more comfortable with. What is more essential is considering your target market. you should consider your potential clients first. Basic question would be...what will my potential clients require of the product i am offering?...In any case, acting fast beats procrastinating...:)
    • Hesham says:
      Yes, and it happen some times that we feel comfort promoting a particular product! And, yes.. in the internet marketing business we must act and move fast ;) Thank you so much Aurelius for stopping by!
  20. Henway says:
    Very interesting that the products you promote are all digital products like themes and stuff. For me, the most profitable products are anything in the health niche, or personal finance niche like credit cards or mortgages. I tried promoting digital products like e-books and even wordpress themes but they never earn much for me.
    • Hesham says:
      Hi Henway, Yes it's more easier to promote products, especially good products! And I agree that health niche is rich! About e-books, same happen to me, it's more harder to sell actually! Thanks a lot for your input, much appreciate!
  21. Mitz says:
    Hey this is true for me also! Once you know what your readers want and you see something they would like, you grab it...Then if it goes well, stick that product. Do not think you need thousands of products to sell... You just need what your readers want!
    • Hesham says:
      Hi Mitz, this is true 100% to me! You don't have to promote thousands of products, I discover that sticking with 5 to 10 successful products should do it! And it's enough for making a living for the whole year if it's done the right way! Thank you so much for your visit!
      • Mitz Pantic says:
        I promote similar products to you!! All digital... A few Wordpress themes, a SEO plugin, and some Maxblogg products. Maybe also hosting... On my other websites, of course, none of this stuff sells as it is a different niche....I personally enjoy the blogging niche the best though...
        • Hesham says:
          Yas, I can see that just by a fast look into your blog, nice blog by the way! And , yes these are cool products indeed because their owner really did a good job! It makes a big difference when recommending a good product with confident!
  22. Delena Silverfox says:
    This is great content! There really is just SO much out there that it can be overwhelming for a beginner like me to really figure out what's useful and what's not. I think I'm going to sign up for your newsletter, because it sounds like you really know what you're talking about! The real deal can spot a fake in seconds. 15 minutes is generous. =) Delena
    • Hesham says:
      I hope you do!
  23. Michele Welch says:
    Awesome name Hesham! Very creating and out-of-the-box thinking. I'm already signed up for your newsletter, so I will be looking out for your masterpiece. ;-) Thanks for sharing this...truly awesome of you!
    • Hesham says:
      Hi Michele , thank you so much for your kind words, and I am so glad you like the title :) I've enjoyed your last post, very nice and looking forward to your next parts!
  24. Justin Germino says:
    Honestly it takes me far longer to decide whether I want to affiliate promote something, I need to see it, read other reviews on it, research and such. Virtually anything with a pitchy or spammy sales page rarely is something I want to promote and maybe 99% of ClickBank products are worth promoting in my opinion. This is kind of why I am shifting from a specific product affiliate marketer into more of an Amazon affiliate model on my sites over the last few and next few months. I will do product reviews and such but only of products I actually use when I can. Even though commission is only 4% the benefit of the affiliate cookie and % of any sale made with the cookie can add up.
    • Hesham says:
      You know Justin, I never went to any CB or other networks products, and maybe the blogging and marketing niche is kind of limiting me to stick with a few types of products, and probably technology is much better niche for aff! Thanks a lot for your insights and sharing your thoughts, always useful to hear your opinion!
  25. TJ McDowell says:
    Hesham, Is this only for new subscribers? Did I miss this in a previous email? I guess I'm just wondering if I can get the guide too.
    • Hesham says:
      I sen't an email today to everyone with a link, maybe you haven't got it, anyways I am emailing you right now!
      • TJ McDowell says:
        I'll look for the email! Thanks Hesham!!
        • Hesham says:
          I hope you will find it interesting TJ
          • TJ McDowell says:
            Just got a chance to read through your guide. I did find it interesting - thanks for sharing!
  26. TJ McDowell says:
    Oh, so you're a love at first sight guy =) Just kidding, I read that you were not talking about girls, just products. I think the skill you've developed there is essential for any business owner - yes or no, and stop wasting time!
    • Hesham says:
      Haha... yes buddy, just products, because we don't want problems with the government :) I am sharing in the guide very simple ideas that could really help anyone to make more sales , not necessary for business owners but mostly for affiliate marketers! And of course there could be an idea or two that works for both! Looking forward to hear your feedback!
  27. Gera says:
    Hi Hesham, I received this post via newsletter and stumbleupon - good job Hesham :) Really I need this affiliate marketing guide to improve my knowledge about all these stuff! Reading it in next days!! Have a great week :) Gera
    • Hesham says:

    • Hesham says:
      Alright, now I've learned a new word! (I had to search for it haha) Totally Rad :) Thank you Alex, and I hope to hear a feedback from you!
  29. Mike says:
    Sounds like an awesome guide, Hesham. I'm downloading it now. PS: Just a heads-up, Hesham. Your pop-up opt-in text doesn't display really correctly. It has some HTML code in it :)
    • Hesham says:
      Thank you Mike, I've fixed that!
  30. Sheila Atwood says:
    Hesham, I am like you, I only promote products I really like and have added value. Your 15 minute guide sounds like a good idea. l would love to make decisions that fast. Well done on your success! You have worked hard and you have provided a great service to other bloggers. I admire that.
    • Hesham says:
      Hi Sheila, I am sure that readers are so sensitive, especially when it comes about selling something to them, so picking up something you like and you believe it's working will have an impact on your review and they way you introduce it to others! Yea, the 15 minutes is just fine to make a decision, then it comes to study deep if you would like to as each product has it's own difficulty of promotion and competition! And.. finally, I must add that affiliate marketing is not an easy job, but it's very exciting! Thank you so much for stopping by, and looking forward to hear your feedback after reading the guide!
  31. Karan Labra says:
    I am currently reading it and it is just amazing. All I needed to get started as an affiliate marketer.
    • Hesham says:
      Great Karan! I am excited to know how this idea will work with you! Thank for stopping by my guide
  32. Tom says:
    I'm not even interested in affiliate marketing but I have just signed up for your book. It shows how wording can manipulate you. Just waiting for the email now. Thanks.
    • Hesham says:
      Haha... that's awesome Tom, I hope you find it interesting, and maybe you join the club one day :)
  33. DiTesco says:
    And "15 minutes later" after downloading your eBook and finding more about your secrets, I can totally recommend this eBook for everyone who is in any level of their online business journey. I particularly like your advice about "never" promoting products that .... Well, I won't say it here, otherwise, no one will grab it, lol. Very good Hesham. I have to make one myself :) BTW, sent you an email about this.
    • Hesham says:
      I hear you! I will drop you an email in a few!
  34. Lennart Heleander says:
    Hi Hesham, Of courses, do I say; Thanks and I have downloaded it direct. It going to be interesting to read and learn form one of the “big elephants” in the products online market. Thanks again Hesham.
    • Hesham says:
      Haha.. Lennart, it's my first attempt before digging into a bigger project like writing my first book, so I hope it will add a little something to you knowledge. Thanks a lot!

    Affiliate marketing is still by far the best way to make a little money online. People need to find that niche and tackle the market...I'm on page 2 of an new niche hoping to climb to the front soon..and it true that an couple hours a day can make this happen.. BTW Hesham..Can you can contact me on my contact page..Its very important..I need your help. "Black Seo Guy "Signing Off"
    • Hesham says:
      Hi Antonio, Sure, I've just sent an email to you, check it out!
  37. Andreas says:
    Its ok and usually successful to be spontaneous but you have to know what you are doing as successful marketer and affiliate. They usually can sell anything. For newbies it is recommended to make some more research, like product comparisons, before they decide to promote a particular affiliate product or service.
    • Hesham says:
      Hi Andreas, I agree with you, but not totally about the make more research, as I remember.. When I first started this I wasted a lot of time doing researches and ended many time struggling between promote and not to promote!! Of course research is important, but some times we don't have "Time" to do it, so we must do something fast to take place! The thing here is you can simply know the good from the bad after some time of doing internet marketing, it will be something like a gift! And this is what I am trying to reach, I want to be able to use my logic and my knowledge of people who read my blog to pick up successful product that may appeal to them! Thank you so much for adding your opinion here, and please let me know how you find my guide after reading it as this will help me a lot!

      Hey Dev, great man.. thanks a lot!
  43. Thomas Sinfield says:
    Nice work Hesham, I think a key point I see when I look at the products that you've had success with is that they are all products (not ebooks!). Congratulations on the success you had in 2010 and I hope 2011 is even better for you (oh and good luck with your free guide as well!)
    • Hesham says:
      Of course Tom, promoting products is much different than than ebooks, and works better! I wish you all the luck to my friend!
