I. Affiliate marketing guides 
Are you desperately looking for extra income? Or Are you tired to live life by the paycheck? Or are you 
looking for an alternative to give yourself and your loved ones a better lifestyle? Or do you just want to 
earn that little bit extra for yourself every month? If you answered YES to any of the above questions 
then congratulations you have found yourself an article that will show you how. 
Thanks to modern technology of the 21st century and the birth of the World Wide Web, anyone who is 
willing to work hard and smart can create endless steams of income in the shortest time possible on the 
Internet. So, if you are prepared to do just that (work hard and smart that is), read the below 5 tips that 
will get you into a flying head start on earning your first dollar via Affiliate Marketing. 
What is Affiliate Marketing? 
Let me show you with a simple example of Affiliate Marketing sales that has been around for centuries. 
Let's say you bought a product wholesale (bulk quantity) or you have created a product yourself and you 
wanted to sell it. You contracted a guy who owned a motorcycle to go around the country side to sell 
your product. Before he started to sell, you told him you would give him 15% of the profit from the sale 
of each product to motivate him to sell more of your product. At the end of the day, you met your 
contracted seller and settle up. You pay him the contracted commission of 15% for each of the product 
that contracted seller sold for you. In order words the contractor salesman was a commissioned 
salesman! Yes! Affiliate Marketing is commission sales! 
Don't worry it is not as complicated as it sounds. Let me introduce you to a kid I used to know. His name 
is Adam. Adam was 9 years old when he first became a commissioned salesman. Adam saw an ad in a 
comic book that needed someone to sell Christmas Cards on a percentage basis. Back then it didn't cost 
any money for him to sign up. He signed up and the company sent him a top-notch demonstration 
folder of Christmas cards. 
To make a long story short Adam sold Christmas cards from August through the end of November and 
Performance review phrases comments/ free download examples Page 1
he made $250.00, which was quite a profit for a 9 year old kid! If a kid can learn how to do it; then you 
can. By the way, Adam is now a very successful Internet Marketer and earns thousands of dollars on the 
Internet day in and day out. 
Now let's move on to the Tips about affiliate marketing. 
Tip 1: Choose a Top Notch Product. 
If you are new to this, you may think that it is not be easy to differentiate between a good product to 
sell and a product that is a waste of your time. Actually, the opposite is the truth. This is how you can do 
it. Simply go to any of your favorite search engine (mine would be Google), type in the name of the 
product (e.g.: "Affiliate Marketing How To" - remember to include the quote marks or you will be 
bombarded with too much useless information that will turn your hair white) and BAM usually you will 
get more review that review that you can shake your stick at. 
Tip 2: Choose a seller and check him out. 
By completing step 1, you would have found a lot of websites offering affiliate product to sell. The next 
step is to make sure that they are really legitimate sellers. For this, use the same search engine and type 
in "Seller's Name Affiliate Program review/reviews" (replace the "Seller's Name with the actual seller 
that you have found via Step 1). Go through a few review pages and find out if the Seller you are 
interested in to promote his/her product is a good payer and there are no claims from others that the 
seller is a scoundrel or a cheat. 
Tip 3: Do NOT pay to join any affiliate program! 
This is perhaps the most important tip that I can give to you. There are plenty of Affiliate Programs out 
there that does not cost a dime to join. As an affiliate marketing it is your job to market a product and 
get paid for your efforts and not the other way around. 
Tip 4: Sign up with these well-known affiliate program websites. 
Check out clickbank.com, associateprograms.com, paydotcom.com and commissionjunction.com. These 
are some of the affiliate program that offers vast range of products from many different categories. 
Don't just sign out for one affiliate program, sign up with as many as you can. Each time you want to 
promote a product from a category, you can always source for the same type of product from other 
affiliate websites and offer to your buyers more than 1 option for each product. 
Tip 5: Look for better Affiliates that offer Tools to help you promote. 
Some better programs offer tools that can help you promote the product for free. Make use of a search 
engine and do your research to find these programs. It is worthwhile to spend your time in finding these 
programs. 
Affiliate Marketing is not difficult to do but like any like anything that is worthwhile, you must be willing 
to work hard and smart at it!

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.
