Super Affiliate Guru Secrets - 3 Steps To Affiliate Programs Success!

By Mark Walters

What is the easiest way to make money on the internet? According to many super affiliate gurus, the answer is affiliate marketing.

An affiliate (also called associate or partner), is someone who is selling other people's products. The affiliate marketer takes advantage of the notoriety of the merchant to sell his products, and he will be paid a commission on every sale he makes.

It is a win win situation, for both the partner and the merchant. Product creators get huge publicity and exposure for their products without having to spend money on advertising (which is the responsibility of the affiliates), and affiliates can earn an extra income without having to think of and create a new product.

An even better opportunity for affiliates, and definitely something to watch out for, are two-tier affiliate programs, which allow you to earn commissions on not just your own sales, but also those sales made by members of your affiliate team. In this case you will be a master affiliate: the people that you recruited are selling the same merchant's products, but you will be able to coach them and you will also earn a commission on all their sales. That can represent a good monthly income for you too.

If the thought of becoming a super affiliate guru appeals to you, then you just need to follow this 3 point plan...

1. You must have a landing page. 2. Set-up a method of capturing the names and email addresses of those who visit your landing page. 3. Email the people whose details you have captured in order to offer them quality products in the future.

Make sure you capture your visitors email because most of your visitors won't buy the first time they visit your website, and if another affiliate directs him (with his tracker cookies) to the website, and he finally decides to buy the product, you will lose the commission!

An added bonus to doing this is that when you create your own product, you will already have a list of prospects ready to buy from you. All that you will need to do is send an email to your list, and if you have already established a relation based on trust with them, by providing only useful information and products, they will accept whatever you have to offer.

Every super affiliate guru uses email marketing to make sales; this is tried and tested approach. Just follow their steps and you will soon be seeing the same results as them!
