But it doesn’t matter what your favorite chair’s style is if it is covered with pet hair, or badly stained from food accidents, or has prematurely darkened armrests caused by sweat or body oils.

No matter what cleaners you use or how often you clean it, your favorite chair has long lost its good looks. You may have heard that you can use a chair slipcover to hide away its tattered and worn upholstery while protecting it from further damage. But just what things should you look for when selecting slipcovers for chairs?

What to look for in a Chair Slipcover

A chair slipcover is a specially designed piece of fabric that is used to cover and protect the original upholstery of a chair. Chair slipcovers can come in many different colors and styles. But the two most basic designs you need to be aware of and understand are the terms: ready-made and tailor-made.

A ready-made chair slipcover is a semi-fitted mass-produced covering that can work with a wide variety of chair styles and sizes.

Ready-made coverings became very popular in the 1960′s when the cost of making these one-piece coverings became less than the cost of getting them hand tailored. The type of chair slipcover is easily found online or in specialty retail stores.

A more traditional chair slipcover is hand sewn by a slipcover professional or upholstery shop. Hand crafted slipcovers were originally made by tapestry weavers and were used to protect the furnishings of the very rich. But during the 18th and 19th century chair slipcovers became a fashion accessory all on their own.

As slipcovers for chairs became the vogue, slipcover makers, often immigrants from Europe would go to the homes of their wealthy clients and measure and cut out fabrics on site.

Then the men would return to their homes or shops and have their womenfolk do the actual sewing.

Chair slipcover makers were often nicknamed “summer time millionaires” due to the amount of money that could be made in the slipcover industry. These artisans are all almost gone. The few remaining shops and designers that do custom slipcovers often are even more expensive than their predecessors.

Another factor to consider besides color is the actual fabric that a chair slipcover can be made from. You can choose either natural fiber fabrics like linen, cotton or ramie. Or work with a synthetic fabric made from acrylic, nylon or polyester. The best fabric is a blend of natural and man-made materials for durability, ease of cleaning and shape and fit.

As you can see selecting the right slipcover for a chair is not as difficult as you may think. By deciding earlier on what style you can afford to buy: ready-made or tailor-made plus looking closely at your lifestyle; you can choose a chair slip cover that will last for years.

Before we begin discussing the steps, I want to point out that many individuals have become millionaires using this direct linking technique. After the initial setup, the key becomes promotion strategies which will generate traffic to your offer. So making money online is more than possible, it can become a reality.

Step 1 – Setting Up A Payment Account:

This is the most important step. It’s a must to get paid. Go to ClickBank.Com and step-up a payment account. Follow the instructions and fill-out the information registering as an affiliate. Here, pay close attention to the “ClickBank Nick-Name”. This is what ClickBank will use to pay you for the digital products you sell and separate you from other affiliates marketing the same product. After you register, ClickBank will send you an email explaining in detail how the system works.

Step 2 – Choosing a Digital Product to Market

To keep this simple, ClickBank uses a proprietary algorithm to show which products have the highest conversion rates and is denoted by the word “grav” or gravity. Each product in the ClickBank Marketplace is classified into nine categories. Select a category that you may have a knowledge and/or interest. Since you are beginning, be smart and choose a digital product with a high “grav”. View the “Pitch Page” and create a ClickBank link. Write down your link, you will need it in the next step.

Step 3 – Choosing and Registering a Domain Name

Now that you have selected a digital product and viewed the “Pitch Page”, you must create and register a domain name that will be used for domain forwarding to your ClickBank hop-link, also none as direct link. The domain name you choose can be related to or mutually-exclusive to the URL for the “Pitch Page”. For example: XXXX.COM can become XXXXx.COM or XXXX.COM to zzzzwwww.COM. If you don’t register a domain name your only option is to use your ClickBank link in your promotion to forward leads to the product’s “Pitch Page”. Using the link saves you $10.00 in domain registration fees, but it is uninviting and will be unfamiliar to most of your leads.

You can use GoDaddy.Com to register the domain or any other domain registering site which has domain forwarding capabilities. If you use GoDaddy follow the prompts to create and register your new domain name. GoDaddy will not allow you to register an existing domain name, so it may take a couple of attempts before you come up with something unique. Follow the prompts and go through the check-out process. Next, log into your account and go to the “Domain Manager” for the domain name you have registered. Select, “Forward” and enable forwarding, then put the ClickBank link in the space provided and click “Ok”. The process is complete, now every time a lead clicks your domain name they are forwarded transparently to your ClickBank link. GoDaddy will also forward a confirmation email with additional instructions on how to use the system.
