I. Affiliate marketing guides
This post is meant for those of you who have been on the fence about getting into affiliate marketing.
It’s also meant for those of you who may have tried it in the past, but essentially gave up.
No, it’s not going to be another long-winded verbal lecture on perseverance and not giving-up.
Instead, I’m going to try to light a fire under your ass by showing you exactly what happened to me
today.
For "Fun"
Today I woke up, made some tea (which is rather unusual for me as I usually drink coffee), and started
my stopwatch to track my morning 3-hour work session, just as I do everyday.
I did my usual routine of analyzing and optimizing my previous day’s campaigns and looking at my
overall numbers, and then proceeded to tend to my e-mails. One of my e-mails was from one of my
affiliate managers announcing a new offer on their network. Just as I always do if the offer piques my
interest, I checked it out in more detail to see if it was something I would want to run.
At first, I almost did, but then I decided to run 2 different offers instead, simply because I loved the angle
opportunities for them.
Due to the simplicity and speed of launching campaigns, I actually find it kind of fun sometimes, and not
work or a chore. In fact, while I was setting them up, I thought to myself how it is almost relaxing
(especially the image sourcing part).

This isn’t always the case. Sometimes it’s a real pain to set up a new campaign (landing pages and
foreign-language offers can be annoying). But generally, setting up a new campaign is really quite quick
and easy to do – and I’m including all tracking and initial split-testing set-up as well.
Anyhow, it probably took me around 30-minutes to set these 2 campaigns up. They were each using
offers from different networks, and I set them up on Facebook, direct linking.
5-Minutes Later
5-minutes later, all my ads were approved and now I was just waiting for traffic to start. There is usually
a bit of a delay when a new Facebook ad is approved or unpaused. For me, it tends to take between 30-
45 minutes.
To this day, I’ve had a 99% ad approval rate. Run legitimate ads and offers, and you should never have a
problem.
1-Hour Later
One hour later, I was pumped up. BOTH campaigns had already brought in conversions and were
profitable right off the bat.
This is without any optimization or adjustments of any kind.
From that point on, you can be sure that I kept refreshing my stats constantly throughout the day.
Whenever you find a new profitable campaign – no matter what size the campaign is at, it’s always a
huge endorphin rush and a real high.
The Results
Okay, so here’s how the campaigns did.
Before I continue, please note that these are essentially "raw" campaigns. That is, they are completely
unoptimized and have not been tested (for example, I only used 1 angle per campaign).
They also only ran since around 1-2pm, so approximately half the day.
Taking these things into consideration should show why I was so excited despite these not being the
hugest of numbers – there is definite scaling and optimization potential.

Affiliate marketing is a low-cost
way for merchants to build
awareness and showcase their
products and services. The model
is simple; it works as a
commission-based referral
system. A partner or affiliate
markets a merchant's products
for a "piece of the pie."
Affiliate marketing experts often make an income that can tally over five figures
per month, however only 1 to 5% of thousands of marketers achieve this level.
When an affiliate reaches this elite level they are often referred to as a "super"
affiliate.
How does one become a super affiliate? Can anyone do it? Super affiliates have
common tactics that they embrace and put into place. Anyone can become a
super affiliate, but it will not come without blood, sweat, and a hefty time
commitment. The typical super affiliate possesses the following traits:
 Persistence
 Patience
 Thirst for Knowledge
These three traits combined with the following strategy gives you the formula for
the makings of a "super" affiliate.
1. Find a Unique Niche
The mistake that many affiliate marketing hopefuls have in common is that they
try to offer everything under the sun rather than focusing on a specific niche
market. Do not scatter your efforts, focus on your niche, promote it, and sell it
well.
2. Search Engine Marketing

Once you've built your affiliate storehouse you will need to promote it. Many
affiliates use pay-per-click engines. I suggest that you learn how to achieve organic
search results or hire a search engine marketing company. This will save you from
spending all your profits on pay-per-click engines. Only use pay-per-click engines
if you know what you are doing, otherwise all your profits may end in the hands of
Google Adwords or Overture.
3. Know Your Product, Know Your Audience
Create a resource. By taking the time to learn about the products and/or services
that you are offering you can create information that builds your credibility. That
credibility builds trust. If your viewers do not have trust in you more than likely
they will not purchase from your storehouse. If you want more information on the
psychological process that an online buyer goes through I suggest that you read
my article on the Five Levels of Internet Marketing and the Sales Process. This will
help you in creating a web site that converts well, which in return will increase
your cash flow.
4. Don't Put All Your Eggs in One Basket
Promote products from different merchants. This way if you have a problem with
receiving payment from a merchant, or their products do not convert well the
effects on your business will be minimal. Watch out for exclusivity agreements;
remember this is your business. Protect yourself and diversify so that you do not
feel the famine effect if something goes wrong. There is absolutely nothing wrong
with promoting niche products from different merchants.
5. Seek Knowledge and Embrace Change
If you are familiar with Internet marketing at all you know that what worked three
months ago may not work today. Stay on top of the trends. Seek knowledge, start
by learning something new about affiliate marketing daily. For example remember
those marketing tools called "banner" that use to drive sales at an astronomical
rate a few years ago? Well those banners developed a term called "banner
blindness." That means most online viewers will not click on banners even if they

do pertain to what they are looking for. To be a "super" affiliate you must always
spend time reading, learning, and embracing the changes in Internet marketing.
6. Don't Give Up
It's hard to do, and most of the time those dabbling in affiliate marketing give up
way too soon. Monitor your statistics, watch to see what is working and what is
not. Make changes when necessary. Do one thing daily to promote your storehouse
and be patient. Before you know it you will start getting payments.
Remember that it will not happen overnight. Encompass and develop the
persistence, patience, and knowledge. Then follow the tactics I've mentioned
above and you are on your way to becoming a "super" affiliate.
