One of the things I look for when choosing programs for my Top 5 Programs list is longevity.
There are always new affiliate programs appearing, promising bigger commissions, faster growth and the next big opportunity. But I’ve found that some of the most useful tools are the ones that have been around for years and continue to solve the same basic problems.
Prosperity Marketing System (PMS) is one of those programs.
PMS is essentially a ready-made marketing and downline-building system. Instead of having to create your own funnel, landing pages and supporting infrastructure from scratch, you start with a system that’s already built. You can then customize it around the programs you actually want to promote.
That’s one of the things I like most about PMS. You’re not locked into promoting a single business. You can add your own affiliate programs and remove programs you no longer want to promote. If you’re an Owner member, you can also choose your own primary business and change it when your priorities change.
The system also has its own commission structure. Student members can earn 100% commissions on qualifying Student upgrades, while the Owner upgrade provides another one-time commission opportunity. PMS also includes a downline mailing feature that allows you to communicate with your organization through multiple levels.
In other words, PMS isn’t just another affiliate offer to put in front of your traffic. It’s a marketing system that can sit underneath the other programs you’re promoting.
I Created a Free Guide to PMS
One of the problems with promoting a program like PMS is that you can’t explain everything in a short safelist email or traffic exchange ad.
That’s why I’ve created a free lead magnet called:
The Beginner’s Guide to the Prosperity Marketing System
The guide explains what PMS is, how the different membership levels work, how the commission structure works, and how you can use the system to promote the affiliate programs you already belong to.
It also explains one of the most important concepts behind PMS: you don’t have to build your entire online business from scratch.
You can start with the existing system and concentrate on getting traffic and building your list.
And I’ve Built the Funnel to Go With It
The guide isn’t simply a PDF that you download and forget about.
I’ve built a complete lead generation funnel around it.
The visitor first arrives at a lead capture page offering the free guide. Once they enter their email address, they receive the guide and enter a seven-email follow-up sequence.
The emails don’t immediately bombard them with a sales pitch.
Instead, each email introduces one particular benefit of PMS.
One explains the 100% recurring Student commissions. Another explains the $97 Owner upgrade. Another looks at the ability to choose which affiliate programs and traffic sources you want to use. Other emails explain the flexibility of choosing your primary business and the ability to communicate with your downline through multiple levels.
The idea is simple.
Get the lead first. Educate them. Then introduce them to the opportunity.
That’s a much better approach than sending someone directly from a traffic exchange to an affiliate sales page and hoping they buy immediately.
Want to Use This Funnel Yourself?
This is where my Evergreen Funnel Club comes in.
I created Evergreen Funnel Club because I know how much work goes into putting a complete funnel together.
Writing the lead magnet is one job.
Writing the follow-up emails is another.
Then you need the lead capture page, graphics, affiliate links, autoresponder setup and everything else that makes the funnel actually work.
The idea behind EFC is to do much of that work for you.
Members get ready-made lead capture pages, email follow-ups and affiliate offers that they can import and use, along with access to previous campaigns in the Funnel Vault.
And this PMS funnel is now part of that growing collection.
You can take the lead magnet, put your own branding on it, add your own affiliate links where appropriate, and use the funnel to build your own list.
That’s a big difference between simply joining another affiliate program and having an actual marketing system to work with.
PMS Is One Part of My Top 5
PMS is one of the five programs I currently recommend on Top5Programs.
The other four are:
I don’t see these as five unrelated opportunities that you’re supposed to promote simultaneously.
I see them as pieces of an online marketing toolkit.
- PMS gives you the funnel and downline-building system.
- Leadsleap gives you advertising, list-building and email marketing tools.
- TrafficZipper can help automate traffic generation through safelists and other sources.
- Wealthy Affiliate provides training and tools for building a more traditional content-based affiliate business.
- And Evergreen Funnel Club provides the ready-made campaigns that can help tie everything together.
That’s the approach I’ve been taking with online marketing for a long time.
Rather than constantly jumping from one new opportunity to another, build a collection of tools that perform different jobs and keep using the ones that continue to deliver value.
Take a Look at PMS
If you’re looking for a flexible affiliate marketing system that you can build around your existing programs, PMS is worth taking a look at.
You can take the free tour here and see how the system works for yourself.
And if you’d rather start with a complete, ready-made marketing campaign, take a look at the Evergreen Funnel Club – the PMS campaign is just one of the funnels available to members, with new campaigns added every month.
That’s a much more sustainable approach than chasing the next shiny object every few weeks.
Cheers!
