I. Affiliate marketing guides 
There are two ways to approach affiliate marketing: You can offer an affiliate program to others 
or you can sign up to be another business's affiliate. As the business driving an affiliate program, 
you'll pay your affiliates a commission fee for every lead or sale they drive to your website. Your 
main goal should be to find affiliates who'll reach untapped markets. For example, a company 
with an e-zine may make a good affiliate because its subscribers are hungry for resources. So 
introducing your offer through a "trusted" company can grab the attention of prospects you might 
not have otherwise reached. 
You should also make sure you aren't competing with your own affiliates for eyeballs. Any 
marketing channels you're using, such as search engines, content sites or e-mail lists, should be 
off limits to your affiliates. Put marketing restrictions into your affiliate agreement and notify 
partners immediately. It's your program--you set the rules. Or, if you prefer, you can let your 
affiliates run the majority of your internet marketing. 
Once you've protected your prospecting pool, maximize your affiliate program by working with 
the best and leaving the rest. As the old 80/20 adage implies, most of your revenue will come 
from a very small percentage of your affiliates. Because it can be time-consuming to manage a 
larger affiliate network, consider selecting only a few companies initially, and interview them 
before signing them on. Affiliates are an extension of your sales force and represent your online 
brand, so choose partners carefully. 
And what about joining another company's affiliate program? It's all about extra revenue. Think 
about your customers' needs: What other products or services would interest your site visitors? 
Join those affiliate programs. Affiliate programs can increase your sales with no upfront cost to 
you. It just takes a little time to plan your strategy and select the partners that will have the 
greatest impact on your business

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. 
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 
Performance review phrases comments/ free download examples Page 2
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.
