15 Things Super Affiliates do to Achieve Super Results!

This list is adapted from one published in
the associateprograms.com newsletter.

1.  First, and most important of all, they collect huge databases of e-mail 
addresses - using opt-in lists or newsletters. One enthusiastic, personal 
endorsement mail-out to such a list can earn them in one day the sort of 
commissions which most affiliates would struggle to earn in a year.

(Spam can put us out of business if it has links to any of our sites.  Do not send email to anyone who has not asked to be added to your list! )

2. They work very hard to build trust and credibility.

3. They develop strategic relationships - they have friends in key places.
  They understand that highly successful affiliate marketing is often much 
  more about networking and making friends than about pasting banners and
   links on a page.

4. They build mini-websites (perhaps only two or three pages) devoted to 
  ONE product or perhaps a small group of related products, and then promote
  that site in creative ways, sometimes with the help of strategic relationships. 
  With a small, simple site, you have plenty of time available for marketing.

5. They maximize the way they earn income from their sites, using as many
  different forms of income streams as possible, including pay-per-click, 
  pay-per-lead, pay-per-sale, and banner advertising.

6. They appreciate that if they choose affiliate programs carefully there is
  huge scope and incentive for them to actively support the merchant. 
  Probably the best way to do that is to create a website devoted to one product.

7. They use sequential autoresponders because they know that sending more
  than one response to a prospect will often increase profits substantially. 
  One autoresponder server they often recommend is AWeber.  AWeber offers
  a free trial.  You'll find it here... CLICK
 

8. They build teams of sub-associates, and actively help those sub-associates
  earn referral fees.

9. They use affiliate programs for back-end sales because they know that
  someone who has just bought a product is often in the mood for buying a
  second product. (CFI has a number of related products to power
  back-end sales!)

10. They are keen students of persuasive copywriting techniques, endlessly
  learning from direct marketing masters and adapting their methods for the Internet.

11. They test, test and test again, tracking click-throughs so that they know
  precisely what works today and what does not.

12. They go where the money is.  They promote items which many people want to
  buy. (CFI products have proven themselves since 1985.)

13. They become search engine experts or they hire search engine experts.

14. They develop a deep interest in affiliate merchant's conversion rates. 

15. They have fun and make money with a perfect home business.
