I. Affiliate marketing guides
To get to the point we will have to explain what affiliate marketing is, in addition we will need to explain
what referral marketing is. To start off with, you will learn about affiliate marketing. When you own a
company or organization that needs to be promoted or marketed you can use peopl e to refer other
people to use your website, or offline business. This is a marketing strategy that have been proven, tried
and tested, and it is an easy way of generating more daily sales. The thing with affiliate marketing is that
when you make a sale through one of you affiliates you will need to pay that person a percentage of
what you have made on the sale. The going rate for affiliates doing affiliate marketing nowadays is
about 20 - 60 percent of the item price. Most of the time companies will start affiliates on a 20 percent
commission and move them up when the sales starts picking up. An affiliate program is a must if you are
looking to generate traffic for your site and heighten your daily sales.
Referral marketing, as apposed to affiliate marketing, is the cheapest method of sales and marketing
and companies and organization the world over are adopting this priceless sales method. Many of these
companies will admit that since they have adopted the referral marketing method their sales have gone
up by more than 60 percent and is still growing. To describe referral marketing to you, it is safe to say
that it is a way of using your current clients to generate a new database of clients for you and your
company. To have a successful referral marketing plan you need lots of business cards and loyal clients
you can hand you business cards out to. In turn you client will take your cards and hand them out to
close friends and family, and for any successful referral they make they will get paid $20. You coul d even
take this a bit further and motivate these people by offering $5 for every referral they make and an
extra $20 for every referral you sign up. This way they will be more careful when referring people to
your company. This method work best for sales and marketing, the reason being that people trust
friends and family when it comes to business, so you will always be getting trusted leads.
There is only one difference between referral marketing and affiliate marketing that is that online
affiliate marketers get paid on a commission basis for each person they refer. Whereas referral

company. This is a slight difference and is considered this because when you adopt the referral
marketing method of sales you can offer many thing other than money to the people you use for
referrals, like shopping vouchers, discounts on a meal, prizes, or you could even go as far as turning it
into a competition, which makes affiliate marketing a more developed version of referral marketing.
II. Affiliate marketingstrategies
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.

3. 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.

4. 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.
