How To Be A Cash-Rocketing Super Affiliate
Have you heard of the term "Super Affiliate" else where?
Actually, we bet you already know what it is: Super Affiliates
are greater affiliates. If you don't know what affiliate
marketing is, it's an interesting job selling other people's
products and earn commissions for yourself.
The Internet has been growing so wide and large in a short
period of time, and there have been millions and millions of
people trying to jump on the Internet billion-dollar market.
People are starting to sort their way of beginning an online
business.
Yet, it's a really tough job to accomplish if you're just a
beginner. There are a lot to digest, but it certainly doesn't
mean that you can't succeed with it. In fact, it is very easy.
Earning big money on the Internet is entirely possible. Here are
just a few examples of successful affiliates and affiliate
programs:
*Cashring - Top affiliate earns $5,000/month
*FriendFinder - Pays out more than $1,000,000 in commissions to
its affiliates every month.
*Matt Haller - NPC newsletter subscriber earns $10,000/month
with a hip-hop affiliate site.
*Deborah Casey - Student of the 'Super Affiliate Handbook' by
Rosalind Gardner who earns $15,000 every month.
*Jim Cockrum - Affiliate selling the 'Super Affiliate Handbook'
made $1000 in ONE day!
*Rosalind Gardner - She regularly earns $50,000+/month just from
her affiliate marketing efforts!
*Ewen Chia - An affiliate marketer who also regularly earns more
than $10,000 every month.
Now you will probably think, how can I be like them, and what
should I do? The answer: meet the basic requirements for a Super
Affiliate: domain name, hosting, website, and sign up for the
appropriate affiliate programs.
Basically affiliate marketing is as easy as 1 - 2 - 3: 1. You
join the affiliate program and place links on your site or in
your newsletter. 2. Your visitor clicks that link and buys a
product, service or fills out a form. 3. You earn a commission
for sales or leads generated through your links.
And without a website, you can hardly sell them at all, unless
you really plan on printing out flyers and distributing them to
the neighborhood.
How do Super Affiliates earn a steady income and grow bigger and
bigger every month? It mentions one of the most important
factor, Opt-In List.
If you are going to learn one thing from this, remember that the
fastest way of making money with affiliate marketing is through
your own list of subscribers! If you have started building your
own opt-in list, great. If not, you need to start now.
To have an opt-in list, you will need to register for an
auto-responder account. The better auto-responders are Aweber
and GetResponse. You will be provided with the script that can
be easily copy-pasted on your web page to have an opt-in form so
that people can subscribe to your list. There are so many things
you can do once you have an opt-in list, some of them:
Follow-up on your affiliate sales: You can set your
auto-responder to send a newsletter/e-zine every few days to
provide your subscribers with useful information, of course,
integrate your affiliate link for a certain product whenever you
can on the right time.
Offer time-Sensitive bonuses: When you are selling your
affiliate product, you can always include a bonus or free stuffs
along, a report, an e-book, anything that suits. People who buy
from you in that limited time will get the bonus you offered, a
good incentive isn't it?
Pre-selling/Back-End Selling: You've probably seen this being
mentioned everywhere, but really, there are too many lazy
affiliates around that don't practice it! After you sell an
affiliate product to your customer, it doesn't mean that you
won't need to bother about him/her anymore, in fact every single
customer is your source of "gold mine". Not only can they become
your repeat customers but also working partners in the future!
Don't make it sound too hard for you, for most Super Affiliates
doing these become their everyday habit, as easy as breathing
and they can do it anytime they want, anywhere they are. Once
you have a huge opt-in list, the send button on your
auto-responder will be your ever-needed money machine. When you
need cash, pick a good affiliate product endorse it to your
mailing list and that's all, wake up the next day with all your
affiliate earnings!
Other than your own opt-in list, you can definitely leverage on
other people's list, by purchasing solo ads from ezines or joint
venturing(partnering). A solo ad is an independent, single email
advertisement you can buy in ezines and they normally allow up
to 300-600 words for your ad copy.
Joint venturing although doesn't seem as appropriate because you
don't have your own product to be offered as an affiliate
marketer, you can definitely have an ad-swap with other Internet
Marketers, which is to endorse each other's solo ad to your own
subscribers. If there is a huge difference between the numbers
of opt-ins, you just need to endorse the solo ad of the other
Internet Marketer a few more times, until both of you are equal.
When there is time, focus more on creating websites to endorse
the other affiliate programs and build your list. It's just that
simple, a concept which is repeated over and over again, and
grow more and more each day. Successful affiliates work harder
and smarter, while broke affiliates hardly work at all.
The Super Affiliate: *Have their own domain names, hosting and
websites! *Carefully selects great products to promote.
*Consistently chooses to promote products which pays high
commissions, or those which have a higher price. *Knows the
value of building highly targeted and highly responsive opt-in
lists. *Focus on improving and maximizing the
activity/efficiency of each affiliate sale/campaign before
thinking of moving to the next one. *Find multiple affiliate
programs to build multiple streams of income. *Consistently work
hard for more traffic and sales, while lowering any other costs
of advertising.
