How to Make Real Money from Affiliate Programs
How To Make Real Money from Affiliate Programs
It is an often quoted statistic that about 90% of affiliates
make no money from affiliate programs.
The top 10% of affiliates make all the money. Some of these are
super affiliates who make very large sums of money indeed.
What is the reason for the big difference between those who
succeed and those who fail?
The following rules should be followed when choosing affilite
programs:
1) Only promote products/sevices in a niche that is in demand
and profitable.
2) Join programs where you earn at least 20% commissions on
sales.
3) Only promote products that tie in with the theme of your web
site. Unrelated products make a site look bad and sell poorly.
4) Concentrate on promoting programs that pay recurring or
lifetime commissions. In other words, make a sale once and get
paid indefinitely for any repeat sales to the same customer.
This is the big secret of the super affiliates. They put most of
their efforts into promoting residual/lifetime affiliate
programs. Gradually, like compound interest their profits mount
up.
If you are not in a residual affiliate program and you get paid
only once per sale, you will never get rich. You are wasting
your time chasing one sale per customer and getting only one
commission. Whereas the big affiliate earners put their effort
into recruiting customers who will give them lifetime
commissions on all the sales they make at any time in the future.
