I. Affiliate marketing guides 
Affiliate marketing can be a very lucrative practice, if you know what you’re doing. But to learn affiliate 
marketing, you need to find the right training – and that doesn’t mean paying for the “get-rich-quick” 
secrets of some dubious “guru.” Contrary to what many people would like to believe, you can’t make 
money online by doing nothing. However, you can bring in substantial profits if you’re able to apply solid 
affiliate marketing strategy to your business ventures. 
What Is Affiliate Marketing? 
One of the main obstacles standing in the way of people who want to become involved in affiliate 
marketing is that they don’t actually understand what it is. A typical affiliate marketing strategy is to set 
up one or more websites with valuable information about a topic, and then post ads or li nks on the site 
to drive visitors to a partner site that sells a related product or service. 
When a visitor to your site clicks through to your partner’s site, you can earn a set fee or commission. 
Some partners pay for new leads regardless of whether they result in an immediate sale, but most pay 
only when the click results in a purchase. As an affiliate, your cut can range from 4% for physical goods 
to as much as 75% for information products. 
This may sound pretty straightforward, and indeed, the basic premise is. The complicated part of 
learning affiliate marketing – and what affiliate marketing training can help you with – is coming up with 
an effective affiliate marketing strategy that will generate traffic to your website and turn those visitors 
into paying customers. 
5 Steps to Take if You Plan to Learn Affiliate Marketing 
If you’re ready to learn affiliate marketing, there are certain steps you can take to give yourself the 
greatest chance for success. 
Performance review phrases comments/ free download examples Page 1
 Start with the proper affiliate marketing training 
 Identify your audience and find out what appeals to them 
 Invest time and effort to keep your affiliate marketing strategy on track 
 Set up a schedule for updating site content – and stick to it 
 Accept your setbacks as a valuable learning experience, and use them to improve your efforts 
going forward 
Accomplishing all of these steps will have you well on your way to achieving success as an affiliate 
marketer. While the last three points concern your own personal outlook and approach to your work, 
you’ll need some expert help with the first two steps. It is essential to find a comprehensive affiliate 
marketing training program and learn how to attract new and repeat visitors before you attempt to put 
together an affiliate marketing strategy. Even if you’ve already dabbled in affiliate marketing and have 
some income from it, the right affiliate marketing training program can greatly improve your chances of 
success in this field. 
Where Is the Best Place to Learn Affiliate 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. 
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 3
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 
Performance review phrases comments/ free download examples Page 4
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.
