As I am putting together a product teaching people how to make money as affiliate marketers, I just conducted a detailed survey. The point of the survey is to make sure my product addresses the core concerns of my client base.

In this case I got all the data back and compiled it into the most common questions. The survey sample was large and accurate so here are the survey results:

The Top 7 Questions Affiliate Marketers Asked

1) How do I get sales without a list?
2) How do I build a responsive list of buyers?
3) How do I get sales without a powerful Blog?
4) How do I make a bonus that is attractive when the super affiliates and gurus are competiing over product launches?
5) How do I get traffic?
6) How do I manage the technical stuff?
7) Whats your biggest tip for affiliate marketers?

Rather than answer these myself I thought it would be beneficial to get another affiliate marketer on the phone and brainstorm some ideas. Jay Deiboldt is a bright marketer I met at underground seminar and I have been watching his handywork over the last year. His new product Google Slapper covers many of these topics so I thought he would be perfect to get on the line.

Here for your benefit is a 40 minute conversation between Jay Deiboldt and James Schramko discussing various aspects of affiliate marketing as we uncover some secrets and address each of the burning questions. We hope you enjoy it.
