My product "Hot Metabolism" is one that you can feel confident promoting to a very large target audience of people interested in eating right and increasing their metabolism naturally so as to effortlessly burn off those unnecessary pounds that push a healthy lifestyle just beyond reach.

Please use the resources on this page to help with your promotions and feel free to contact me with any questions you may have about promoting my book.

How Much Will I Make?

When you promote "Hot Metabolism" as an affiliate you will be making a healthy 75 percent commission on every sale that you refer. The main product that you will be promoting is Hot Metabolism, but you will receive commissions for any other of my products that are promoted to the prospect as well.

The book currently sells for $37. This means you get to keep approximately $24.92 of every sale (once my sales processor takes its small cut).

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 ebook (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 book), ClickBank handles that too.

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

Affiliate URL

Because I am using ClickBank to sell my book 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 the book will look just like this:

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

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

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 increase for a particular campaign (say a PPC keyword like increase my metabolism), then you would add tracking like this for that campaign:

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.

3 Proven Strategies to Lose Weight Fast

Have you been trying to get rid of excess body fat for what seems like forever, but you are just not getting the job done? Maybe you've already discovered that racking up hours on long, slow, boring cardio type activity doesn't quite add up to fat loss. That is certainly the conclusion that ex-bodybuilding champion Carolyn Hansen reaches in her book <a href="http://nickname.hotmet.hop.clickbank.net/">Hot Metabolism</a>.

If you have worked hard following the old weight loss model, and got little in return, you probably find that you are tired much of the time, feel weak and irritable, and you have likely convinced yourself that you just don't have the genetics required for a lean and toned body.

In fact, all you really need is a change of direction. So let's focus on newer and better ways to lose that body fat. The newer strategies focus on your metabolic health and what actually happens after your exercise session has concluded, as opposed to the old approach of focusing only on what happens during the session. An important part of this new approach is to take into account the state of your metabolism, which is essentially your body's engine, and which determines whether you burn body fat or store body fat during the course of the day.

We are going to briefly look at the three main strategies that can boost your metabolism and allow you to lose body fat in the quickest and easiest way possible.

[1] Proper Exercise Program

An exercise program of this type is one that contains at least 60 percent strength training exercises. The reason for this is that the ratio of lean muscle tissue to body fat determines how quickly your body burns or stores fuel. The higher the ratio, and the harder the exercise you apply to your muscle tissue, the higher the rate as which body fat is consumed.

This alone could alter the way your body burns fuel since, if you haven't been working your muscles with proper strength training exercise recently, it is likely that you have simply become under muscled. This means that your body's engine is smaller and burns less fuel. Even a few pounds loss of muscle tissue can cause you to become overweight.

Note that if you merely tone your muscles through moderate strength exercising you will not get big muscles. You will scarcely even notice the difference. But you will start to notice the difference in the size of your waist, hips and other places that are already larger than they should be. As you begin to lose body fat they will shrink. Muscle tissue is your very best friend and will give you that lean, toned tight looking body that you are aiming for.
 
[2] Interval Training

The rest of your exercise program should contain 1-2 sessions each week of short burst activity. This type of training burns more calories and elevates the metabolic rate more than any other form of cardio exercise. This means that you continue to burn more fat after your exercise session concludes than you did before it, especially when compared to long slow activity.

Although it takes less time, it is way harder to do this type of exercise, so you need to build into it. An example of short burst training would be 8-12 seconds of all out sprinting then 30 seconds to one minute of walking to recover. Repeat this process 8-10 or more times.

[3] Small Meal Eating Plan

The last piece of the puzzle is eating 5-6 small meals every 2-3 hours throughout the day. These meals should have at least 20-30 grams of protein as the core, and on top of this add lots of raw and cooked vegetables. Add a small amount of complex carbohydrates such as rice, pasta, or sweet potatoes. Prepare these meals the night before and take them with you wherever you go.

And that's all there is to it - these three strategies are guaranteed to help you lose body fat. It will not be perfect (nothing ever is) but continue to work at improving these areas, and over time you will not believe how effective they really are.

If you need a comprehensive overview of the metabolic regulation fat loss strategies discussed in this article, be sure to check out Carolyn Hansen's book <a href="http://nickname.hotmet.hop.clickbank.net/">Hot Metabolism</a>, where she shows you how to take control of your body's fat burning mechanism for optimum results.

6 Ways to Speed Up Your Metabolism

It is nothing less than a crime of nature, but somehow your best friend can eat ice cream and chocolate without putting on weight while if you indulge it goes straight to your hips. The reason for this cruel injustice lies in your metabolism, that engine in your body that burns calories (fuel) all day, every day. Now, if you could simply <a href="http://nickname.hotmet.hop.clickbank.net/">increase your metabolism</a> to match that of your friend...

But is that possible? Actually, it is, as you are about to discover.

Because of genetics, some people burn fat faster than others. But age, body weight, diet, and exercise habits also play a role. As people grow older, their metabolism slows down, mainly because they are losing five or six pounds of muscle each decade, starting in their mid-20s - assuming they do not work to keep it.

What does this mean? Well, for one thing, you will likely be burning 100 fewer calories a day at age 35 than at 25. But there are some fairly easy things you can do to stoke your fat-burning potential and there is no reason why you cannot have the same metabolism in your 30s and 40s, and beyond, that you had in your 20s.
 
So here are some ways to keep your motor running hot:

1. Strength training - Experts say this is the best way to crank up your resting metabolic rate. As you get older this rate drops, but strength training can rev it right back up again. A pound of muscle burns up to nine times the calories a pound of fat does as it is much more active tissue. You don't think you have the time to hit the gym? In fact, you can get great results with only two short 30 minute sessions a week. This is so effective that your metabolism will remain in overdrive for hours after the session ends, burning lots of extra calories.

2. Add interval training - A couple of sessions of short burst training each week will provide a great metabolic boost. You can use any cardio activity or bodyweight exercise for 10-20 seconds and slow the activity, or rest, for 1-2 minutes. Repeat 8-12 times. 
For example, sprint 10 seconds, and then walk for 1 minute.

2. Don't overdo calorie cutting - Putting yourself on a low-calorie diet is actually a great way to decrease the likelihood that you will lose any body fat. Your body is programmed to defend your usual weight. So, if you suddenly drop 1,000 calories from your diet, your metabolism will automatically slow down because your body will assume that you are starving and that you need to preserve your existing fat reserves to increase your odds of surviving until the next meal comes your way.

3. Eat breakfast - This may be the most important meal of the day as far as metabolism (and weight loss) is concerned, and breakfast eaters lose more weight than breakfast skippers do, according to studies. Your metabolism slows while you sleep and it doesn't rev back up until you eat again so take the opportunity to get your motor going as quickly as possible each day.

4. Pile on the protein - Research shows that getting plenty of high quality protein can boost your metabolism, causing you to burn an extra 150 to 200 calories a day. That doesn't mean you have to live on a high-protein diet, but you should have a serving of protein as the center of each meal. Choose it first and add vegetables etc to that base.

5. Go for good carbohydrates - Such as vegetables and fruits and a small amount of grains that do not create a surge in insulin that promotes storage of fat. Refined carbohydrates like white bread, cakes and cookies etc may drive down your metabolic rate and increase fat storage.

6. Eat all day - Eating five to six mini meals every 2-3 hours rather than three larger meals every day keeps your metabolism humming 24/7 and will also prevent you from going without food so long that you become so hungry you overeat. Try not to let more than four hours elapse between meals and make sure each meal includes protein for an extra metabolic boost.

These six methods of boosting your metabolism are hugely effective and will knock off excess body fat in the quickest possible manner. Try it and see for yourself.

Fire Up Your Body's Engine To Burn Fat

If you were to ask ten people what type of exercise they should be doing to burn fat, lose weight, and fire up their metabolism (the body's engine), they would all likely tell you that you need to do 30-40 minutes of moderately-paced aerobic activity on some sort of cardio exercise equipment such as a treadmill, stair climber, or a stationary cycle.

They would probably also tell you that more is better and while 3 times a week is good, 4 or more times each week would be even better. People will tell you this because it has been the mainstream recommendation for fat burning for decades. In fact, these ideas from the so called exercise 'experts' date back to the 1980s. You will also be told that it is productive to reach a certain target heart rate and stay at that heart rate for at least 30 minutes.

Well, things have changed somewhat since the 1980s. More recent research has actually proven that this type of activity is NOT the best way to burn fat, lose weight, or increase your metabolism. Sure, you will burn a few extra calories while you are running to nowhere on a treadmill, but you will not make a complete physique transformation using this type of exercise alone. No amount of cardio activity will ever build you a strong, lean, firm, and shapely body. Only strength training exercise can do this for you.

Modern research has confirmed that, in fact, the activity once considered the be-all and end-all for fat loss can actually be counterproductive to burning fat. Here are some of the reasons why this is the case.

Long duration, low intensity aerobic activity calls upon your stored body fat for energy during the sessions. While this may sound good, it can actually cause your body to create more body fat in reserve after the workout is over so that you will be ready for your next session. Yikes! You are actually training your body to store fat in readiness.

What is worse, this type of activity, when done frequently, trains your cardiovascular  system to be efficient, and thereby it shrinks. This reduces the capacity of your heart and lungs for work as they are getting more efficient at doing easy work (your long duration, low intensity aerobic sessions). This in turn reduces their ability to handle stress.

They are simply not prepared for anything more than an easy workload. And anything that is easy will not yield results even close to what is challenging for the body to accomplish. This can lead to a host of other problems including heart problems. Instead, you should be challenging your heart lung system to increase its capacity, so that it is stronger and able to deal with stress more easily.  How is this done?

The fastest and most efficient way to rev up your metabolism, burn fat faster, and develop lifelong health and fitness is to add lean muscle to your body through strength training - period. 
If you want life-changing health and fat loss results in the quickest possible time, then get stronger and build some muscle. When you add lean muscle to your body you will be literally turning your body into a fat burning machine.

When you stimulate your body with proper strength training, the repair and growth process will call upon your stored body fat for energy.  This calorie deficit combined with the repair and growth process will allow you to burn fat all day long, every day long after the exercise session is over.

And the best part is that it is easy to make this type of exercise part of your life because of its efficiency. You only need 2-3 sessions each week or around 30-40 minutes. Muscle tissue is the stuff that fat burning furnaces are made of.

Your Secret Weapon For Losing Weight

Many people are vaguely aware that their metabolism plays an important part in their weight loss strategies. But few people realize that you can literally <a href="http://nickname.hotmet.hop.clickbank.net/">manipulate your metabolism</a> for better weight loss results. You can think of your metabolism as your body's engine, and your metabolic rate is the rate at which your body processes the fuel for that engine (in other words, burns calories).

It is a common, but misguided, practice to try to lose weight by eating fewer and fewer calories, to the point of hunger. Along with this restricted diet they add in a recreational type of activity, such as walking, or cycling, or something similar in the hope of losing excess body fat.

Unfortunately, the combination of a restrictive diet and an incomplete exercise program leads to a process that is the exact opposite to what a person is trying to achieve. It actually causes muscle tissue loss, and this sends the body into survival mode, lowering the metabolic rate, thus putting the brakes on fat loss. Most people become discouraged, and simply never understand that the important element that they are missing is a muscle-building exercise.

Any back slide in body composition (muscle/fat ratio) due to a lack of intense exercise is compounded by the natural aging processes of our bodies. At around 25 to 30 years of age the body naturally begins to shed muscle tissue unless you work to keep it. This means that even if you maintain a consistent body weight over a twenty year period, say from age 30 to age 50, you will have significantly less muscle mass.

As you lose muscle mass, you lose all of the calorie burning and metabolic benefits of that highly active tissue. This combination leads to a "slower metabolism." which has become a favorite excuse for many people's weight gain. "I am gaining weight, but it's not my fault my metabolism has slowed down."

This is exactly the opposite of the truth; people are not getting fatter because their metabolisms are slowing down. What is actually happening is that their metabolisms are slowing down because they are getting fatter. For every pound of muscle tissue lost, you lose a little piece of your metabolic power.

If what you want is to lose body fat, you simply need to take the right approach to the problem. In particular, what you need to embark upon is a proper exercise program that contains at least 60 percent strength training exercise. This will keep the metabolism at its highest level during the fat loss process.

The balance of the exercise program should be made up of interval training, which is comprised of short bursts of activity, alternated with rest periods. An example of this would be 8-10 seconds of sprinting then a minute or so of walking, repeated up to 12 times.

Next on the list is a properly balanced nutrition plan that supports the exercise program so enough energy is available to the body to work out at a proper level of intensity (degree of difficulty) to get results. This plan should include 5 or 6 small meals spread throughout the day, no more than 3 hours apart to keep the metabolism humming.

Each meal should contain a protein source. Choose that first and then add a variety of vegetables to the meal. For the best results you need to focus on what you should be eating rather than on what you shouldn't be eating.

Somehow you will need to get your head around the fact that this solution is an ongoing one. There is no endpoint that you are aiming for here. Your body composition will change (unfavorably) to a higher level of body fat to muscle ratio unless you work to keep yourself in good shape. But considering the benefits, this price is really a small one to pay in order that you can look so much better, feel so much better, and also be so much healthier. Seen this way, your decision to embark upon this lifestyle change should be an easy one.

Use The Fire Within You To Lose Weight

We all know that <a href="http://nickname.hotmet.hop.clickbank.net/">efficient weight loss</a> requires some changes in our eating habits. But many of us avoid making those changes for one very obvious reason: It just seems too darned hard.

But losing weight should not be an event, it is not something you gear up for, do intensely for a period of time, and then think you are done with it. You need to make lifestyle changes that will be with you for the rest of your life.

When you make these changes, step by step, you lose weight at a sensible pace and develop habits you can keep. You will see results that will give you a sense of success which in turn will help you to be able to stick to your plan. Soon your new habits will be second nature and you will be inspired to work at improving your eating and fitness plans until they give you the results you are looking to achieve.

This idea works far better than a drastic dietary overhaul, such as going on a restricted food diet which only leads to deprivation, plummets the metabolism (the body's engine) and punishes the soul. Coming 'off' the diet is only usually a question of 'when', and leads to a regaining of any weight lost - often even more than was taken off, which leads to further feelings of failure.

Clearly, this is not a healthy recipe by which to live your life, much less obtain what you really want, which is a strong, lean, shapely, healthy body. Here are 3 solid tips to make some positive changes so that you can start your journey to a healthier and happier place.

1. Maximize your muscle tissue. Muscles are fat-burning furnaces, so be sure to do enough strength training exercise to build and maintain them. Each pound of toned muscle can raise your metabolic rate by up to 50 calories per day. This will super charge your fat burning machinery so that it is working for you 24/7. Don't worry, you won't even see this fat burning friend - it will be hidden under your body fat but will slowly but surely chew up that excess body fat for fuel.

No other type of activity can do this for you. So forget the old fashioned, long, slow, steady state activities like walking, jogging and cycling. These activities are simply not intense enough to stimulate your metabolism. Spend your time and energy on what really works - strength training.

2. Don't starve yourself. Eat 4- 6 small meals a day to avoid blood-sugar spikes and minimize urges to binge. Each of these meals must contain 20-30 grams of protein as the center piece. Add lots of raw and cooked vegetables to balance the meal. Prepare them the night before and take them wherever you go during the day so you won't be tempted to either miss meals or eat the wrong thing.

If you feed yourself well throughout the day, you will learn to understand when your body is going to need food. You cannot starve yourself and expect to choose well at the next meal. Your eating plan must support your exercise program or you simply won't be able to put enough 'effort' into it to make a difference to your metabolism.

3. Add interval training. Replace any outdated 'cardio' with short bursts of all out activity alternated with longer periods of slower activity for recovery. For example, 10-20 seconds of sprinting followed by one minute or so of walking. Repeat 8-12 times, once or twice each week for awesome fat loss results.

Try these changes to your lifestyle and be amazed at what they will give you. These lifestyle tweaks are things you can easily live with and each one has huge payoffs to take you further on your journey to what you really want - a strong healthy lean and trim body that you can live in and feel happy about for the rest of your life.

So there really is a trick to burning fat

For years I have been somewhat jealous of a couple of my female friends who seem to be able to eat whatever they like and no gain a pound to show for their sins. If you know anyone like that and thought how great it would be if you could do the same, then here is the secret:
