Do you believe super affiliates possess something you don’t that makes them so successful? I assure you super affiliates don’t possess anything that you don’t, besides the drive it takes to be a super affiliate. If you are serious about being a super affiliate it is very achievable.

In this article I’m going to discuss a few things you must do if you hope to get in the ranks of super affiliates. We are going to discuss choosing a niche market that is not too competitive, being able to generate a list and then leverage that list, along with offering attractive bonuses in order to get people to purchase from you instead of the competition.

Choosing The Right Niche Market If You Want To Become A Super Affiliate.

Super affiliates don’t know anything that you don’t, but one thing they understand is the importance of choosing the right niche market.

Sometimes there will be products that are very expensive and you couldn’t imagine anyone would purchase them at a high rate. This isn’t the case, if you were able to find the appropriate niche you’d be surprised at how high conversions might possibly be.

Super affiliates are able to hone in on these types of niches, and then get all the sales they can out of it. But once a super affiliate has discovered a high converting niche, they will find related offers for the highest commission to offer to it.

Super affiliates are also smart enough to capture the traffic so they can market to it again and again. Even though they may be generating sales for somebody else, being able to have access to a high converting niche will enable them to generate revenue for other high-end products. So if you want to become a super affiliates, make sure you choose the right niche. Choosing the wrong niche can lead to low conversions and ultimately little income.

You Can Become A Super Affiliate By Squeezing All Of Your Traffic First.

Super affiliates are very good at generating targeted traffic towards a given offer. But they know that in order for them to generate revenue long term they must convert people onto their list. There are certain affiliates who make it their number one priority to build their list before they even decide to promote the offer.

By doing this they increase their conversions from what may be as low as 1% to as high as 10%. Of course a lot will depend on how much a particular offer costs, but it is not unknown to be able to generate $50 plus commissions at as high as 5% conversion rates for higher end products.

Also once you have gotten someone onto your list and you build credibility with them, they’re going to be far more trustful of you. You would’ve taken the appropriate time to build a relationship with your list, and as a result sending them an offer once in a while would not seem evasive. All of it comes down to a science, and the ability to execute time and time again.

Sometimes You Must Offer A Little Bit More Then Your Competition Does If You Hope To Be A Super Affiliate.

Super affiliates understand that for the popular products there will be a lot of competition. Super affiliates know the importance of offering more than the competition in order to generate sales. Usually they will offer a bonus in order to entice a buyer to purchase from them instead of someone else. This has become a trend these days. People on the Internet know the value of the dollar and usually they will shop around to see where they can get the best deal. Don’t assume because a given product costs the same at all sites that the deal being offered there isn’t sweeter.

Super affiliates may have any number of different bonuses they can offer to push a buyer into purchasing with them. You may need to take on the same approach, or figure out some unique twist to add to your affiliate marketing efforts to get more conversions. You must also master the art of using money generated to scale up successful affiliate campaigns. Once you’ve found that a given affiliate offer converts like crazy, you want to dump as much money as you can into it while it’s still hot.

Final Words

Super affiliates are super affiliates because they have mastered the art of capturing traffic, offering all sorts of bonus product so they will garner get higher conversions, and then reinvesting money into successful campaigns. Super affiliates are also prepared for major launches, usually by having money reserved for its promotion once it comes out. You can follow the same rules on your way to becoming a super affiliate. Once you have gotten to this level, then you may want to consider creating your own products and marketing them to a given niche as well.

Do you want to start earning money on the Internet?

If yes, affiliate marketing is something you should consider. Before I give you a complete step by step plan and show you how I make thousands of dollars in commissions per month.

What is affiliate marketing all about?

An affiliate (also called associate or partner) promotes other people’s products on the Internet. There is no cost to get started since affiliate programs are free to join.

What some affiliates make an absolute killing while others fail?

There are a lot of reasons for this, but one of the most important is that they have the wrong information and make things way too complicated.

But this is going to change for you.

Today, I’ll start by explaining the basics,  and after that, I’ll explain every single step more in details. If you want to make your first commission, I am willing to help.

Ready?

Let’s start with the affiliate marketing basics:

Here is how it works:

1. You pick a profitable market

There are thousands of profitable markets on the Internet. This step is pretty straightforward, but beginners make it complicated (I know because I struggled before I find a niche).

Here are some highly lucrative niches that you can copy: golf clubs, learn Spanish language, Save your marriage, registry fix, Internet marketing, yeast infection.

These are enough to get you started right away. Don’t over analyze and just pick one.

2. You find an affiliate product

Let’s say that you chose to make money in the yeast infection niche, all you need to do is to register to clickbank.com and choose a yeast infection product.

Tip: Make sure that the gravity is more than 30.

3. Create your money making affiliate website

Your are almost ready to start your affiliate campaign now. Before you start, you need to create a website to promote your affiliate links.

A few years ago, it was a bit challenging for beginners because many of them didn’t have a clue about html. And even if they had a site, adding links and new pages was extremely difficult. But today, nothing is easier than creating a website. Seriously.

Here are two free platforms that will help you to create your own website (or if you prefer, you can create a blog) in just minutes.

Weebly.com

Blogger.com

I suggest to my student any of these two platforms to start. Many people like Squidoo, but there are two many outgoing links, and you will lose a lof of commissions with Squidoo. Squidoo is good to get backlinks though.

4. Traffic, Traffic, Traffic

To make money on the Internet, you need two things:

1. An offer (product or service)
2. Driving traffic to this offer

The beauty of affiliate marketing is that you have thousands of products that you can promote today. And even better, you have the ability to know what products are selling like hotcakes.

There are no secrets.

Traffic generation method are well known. Some require your time, while others will ask for your cash.

Find a few that work well for me below:

1. Article marketing
2. Blogging (on my blog)
3. Guest blogging on authority blogs
4. Blog comments
5. Press Releases
6. Backlinks
7. Forum marketing
8. Social Bookmarking
9. Videos
10. PPC

With this, you have everything you need to drive at least 4000 potential buyers to your list every single month.

Let’s recap.

To make money online with affiliate marketing, you need a hungry crowd (a market), an offer, your affiliate links, and tons of traffic.

Next, I’ll explain why some affiliates earn pennies while others earn several thousands of dollars per month.

The post Why Some Affiliates Make Thousands Of Dollars Per Month With Clickbank appeared first on Carl Ocab.

I started internet marketing about ten years ago selling an eBook I bought online with resale rights. I would send out thousands of emails every night and watch my hit counter slowly move on my mini site. If I wanted more traffic, I would send out more emails until my ESP shut me down for spam mailing. These were leads I paid good money for but, these emails were considered spam.

Today, affiliate marketing has evolved. Now the tools of internet affiliate marketers are lead capture pages and Adsence. Marketers are using eBook affiliate programs to promote and not promoting Private label eBooks like before. Now many affiliate marketers may have hundreds of lead collection tools in place and thousand of webpage’s with several sites and domains cross connected to each other.

Many affiliate marketers are not selling their own content or products but using one of the many products available on digital affiliate warehouses. To become a member all you need to do to represent them is sign up with your tax, bank account or PayPal information. I personally use the same type of company to sell my eBooks that I have written. Some eBooks I sell however do a much better job of converting customers then my own site so I promote the best sellers equally to my own material.

Getting your account to produce one hundred dollars a day actually is very hard at first. I believe most people fail at affiliate marketing is because they try to focus on one product instead of going after the top ten best sellers. About eighty percent of my sales come from products that I am cross promoting. I am always amazed where some of the sales come from some forgotten classified or forum URL or some other posting in my countless affiliate promotion campaign.

The real key to becoming a good affiliate marketer is to keep doing what you’re doing until you get a result. If you’re doing affiliate marketing at nights and on weekends keep doing it to you get results. Once you get a result, lead capture or whatever it is you’re trying to do, keep doing it to get more.

Slowly, your list will grow and soon you will have a great report with you mailing list if you get them much needed content and make them look forward to your mailings. Once you have a few hundred people on your list you will start to see sales every few days from your mailings. If you’re able to grow your list to a few thousand people, you will be able to make a nice decent second income from list.

I recently made a special list for just my buyers where I give them all my best web pages, mini sites, lead capture pages, videos and other useful marketing information that they can use to become successful at working their own website or home internet business. With the right tools, desire and the right information you too came make a hundred dollars a day as an affiliate marketer.

For the next months, I will be doing a live experiment, testing if bum marketing still works.

What is bum marketing?

Easy as pie. You write an article related to the product that you will be promoting as an affiliate then submit it to Ezinearticles.com. Do the process hundred times. Wait for the search engines to rank you article.

Higher rankings = more traffic to your article = more clicks to your affiliate link = more affiliate sales.

Listen. Here’s the secret to bum marketing success… domination. Dominate every search term for the product.

Let’ say you will be promoting a fishing tip product. To dominate the niche of your product, try hitting long tail keywords e.g. trout fishing, Alaska salmon fishing, Florida fishing, etc. and write one article for every keyphrase.

Why bum marketing?

I’ll skip the long paragraphs and bull point it out ;-)

• No computer skills required
• You can start with a low budget
• You can start right now
• Money on snowball effect

Why not bum marketing?

• Too many articles to write
• You depend too much for search engine traffic

The solution

• Too many articles to write – If you don’t have the money, you’ll have to pay time to get money. If you don’t have the time, you’ll have to pay money to get time. Now I have the money, I don’t have to write the articles – I ordered my first batch of 15 articles from one of my writers.
• You depend too much for search engine traffic – Then why not add a dash of web 2.0? For this case study, I will be using Social Poster to bookmark the articles I’ve submitted to Ezinearticles.com. I will also make a couple of Squidoo.com and Hubpages.com pages.

What I’ve done as of now

If you want to do the same and test it for yourself – or do it for the profits, here are the things that I have done at the moment.

1. Looked for a product to promote over at PayDotCom (Clickbank alternative) with a good conversion rate and a reasonable price
2. Bought a domain name because Ezinearticles.com don’t allow direct affiliate links – $7.15 (with coupon price from godaddy)
3. Bought 15 articles related to the product I will be promoting – $45
4. Set upped a campaign on my autoresponder (I am currently with GetResponse) to capture leads for long term traffic – $17.95
5. Bought a private label product to give people an initiative to sign up to my list – $3
6. Hosted (I recommend Media Temple) my squeeze page where I will drive my traffic to – $20
7. Did a keyword research via Aaron Wall’s keyword suggestion tool and targeted the keyphrases with around 100-300 overall daily search to compete with less competition
8. Submitted an article to Ezinearticles.com
9. Bookmarked my article using Social Poster
10. Made a Squidoo.com and Hubpages.com page for my article

With that kind of set up, it would cost you less than a hundred dollars to start.

I did my best to cut the cost here for everyone to take play. You can eliminate some expenses like the buying of articles by writing ones on your own and probably the hosting if you’ve got your own host.

By the way, if you’re wondering what my squeeze page looks like, you can download a copy of it via this link.

What do YOU think?

Now, now, I’m not a bum marketer on any perspective. I just read a couple of guides here and there for this case study, added some of my ideas and a dash of today’s new traffic tactics.

I’m expecting a positive result from this experiment as the principles are quite promising.

How about you? What do you think of the experiment? Will I earn my money back? Is there anything you would like to add?
