Easy Steps Of Becoming A Super Affiliate
3 Days To Becoming Super Affiliate
A "thought" might be haunting you since you have started online - "What the heck a super affiliate does to earn thousands of dollars every month?"
In this issue, I'm giving you a THREE DAY ACTION PLAN to become the next "Super Affiliate".
Get started
Action Plan for Day Number One
Research and find SIX Internet businesses of YOUR CHOICE.
Concentrate on the words - "YOUR CHOICE". This is the first success factor in building your online wealth. Don't just go and choose the six well performing businesses which every Tom, Dick or Harry is promoting. Choose something in the area, which interests you most.
For example, if gardening is something that makes you excited, go to http://www.google.com and type "gardening secrets" or "gardening based online business".
At the end of the day one, you should have at least six opportunities in your hands, which qualify the following two decisive factors.
Decisive Factor One - It should be a well performing site. Decisive Factor Two - It should be of your interest.
Remember these two points while selecting an opportunity. You can check the site's performance by visiting http://www.alexa.com and checking the site's ranking .
Note down the contact details, few details on how the order process for the site works and any other important data available on the site such as name of the site owner, his telephone number or sales sheet.
That's for day one. Expected time to finish the research - 8 hours.
Action Plan for Day Number Two
You have details of the six chosen opportunities. Now, you need to do a small write up on each of the six online opportunities (businesses) you have chosen.
Believe me IT IS GOING TO BE VERY SIMPLE.
All you have to do is write it in a form of a personal letter to your friend to whom you are telling about your chosen websites.
To help you, I have included the bullets which you may follow while writing up.
Bullet 1: Your opening sentence should start with something like this- "I found this product (or service) in the ::Month:: of ::Year:: when I was ::traveling to XXX:: or ::having a coffee::".
This opening sentence comforts the reader instantly because you are now revealing the first hand experience to them.
They will start believing you the moment they will read this sentence and you have won 50% of the game.
Bullet 2: Mention how the product solves a problem and how it works. Try to find a penetrating problem, which can be solved by using the product you have selected. Write about the solution of the problem.
Bullet 3: Give some EXACT & PRECISE data using the sentences - "Incase of any problem or questions, you can contact the product owner over the telephone at this number ::NUMBER HERE:: or you can email him at ::EMAIL HERE::. Based on my experience, he normally takes 24 hours to get back to you. And if you are in the same city, you can reach him in his office at ::ADDRESS::"
This increases the trust level in the reader for the product and its owner.
Bullet 4: Explain the order process. BUT DO NOT MENTION THE PRICE YET. Simply say something like - "You may check the current price of the product on the main website but let me tell you how easy it is to order from there. It just requires....explain the order process here."
Bullet 5: Closing - Give your contact details. Say something like this - "And if you want to get some more information regarding the usage of this product, you can call me or email me.
Write up for each product should not be more than 200 words. Remember, you are PRE-SELLING and not SELLING.
This activity should not take more than six hours. After finishing it, take some rest and come back.
......... ......... .........
Okay, let's create the web page for your new affiliate website.
Remember, you don't have to be a trendy web designer to do this. Simply use any HTML editor to create your web page.
I personally use Frontpage 2000. You can use Dreamweaver or even Microsoft Word.
Remember the golden rule! The simplest sites generate the biggest sales.
Have some sound sleep and come back afresh tomorrow morning because it's going to be a real excited day as we are going to setup your first online business and will be talking about how to promote your site in a best way to keep generating sales.
Action Plan for Day Number Three
Okay, you have a website ready. Now what?
Next activity is to make your website live. And for that, you need a web hosting account. If you already have a web hosting account, simply upload the web page you have created and all the images, if any, to your web server.
Then this page should be visible on your domain.
If you don't have a website, look no further and simply go and order your web hosting account from http://thirdspherehosting.com/plus/
They are undoubtedly HOT these days. You'll receive a military level support and service from them.
So, your new website is live. Now comes the most crucial question - Promoting it to generate sales after sale. Sad, but this is where most of the people fail and then quit.
But I won't let you quit so easily ;-)
I'LL ASSUME YOU ARE ON ZERO BUDGET AND HAVE NO FUNDS ABSOLUTELY TO SPEND ON ADVERTISING!
Here's a marketing plan for your new affiliate website. This should generate you enough sales to generate money for the paid advertising next month onwards.
To-Do's #1: Go to http://www.google.com and type the same keyword, which you have used while researching for opportunities during day 1 activity.
Add "FORUM" at the end. For example, if you have selected "gardening" bases opportunities, type "gardening forum" in the google search bar.
Select at least three online forums, which appears good to you and which has the most active and largest community.
Create your free account with them. And start HELPING people by answering their questions in 1-2 short lines. Before doing that, create a signature file (most of the forum allows signature lines) which has a link back to your new website.
Do this activity daily. MAKE POSTING IN FORUMS A HABIT.
And you'll start seeing the results in just few days.
To-Do's #2: This is rather a MUST DO if you want a surge of traffic for your site. This is all about going back to your good old school days and writing short essays on any randomly chosen topic.
Yes, I'm talking about writing few small articles on your selected niche, example gardening tips and then start submitting them in article directories. The best way to locate article directories with a good subscriber base is to visit http://www.google.com and type the keyword " article directories".
Visit the first few results. Spend some time to make yourself familiar with their terms and then send them your article.
Once they accept your article, it will be shown to their thousands of readers and you'll receive thousands of hits to your website when people will read your article and click on your by-line where a link to your website is given.
This is the best form of free advertising you can receive online.
But this is NOT where I leave you after giving you few tips
I go one step forward and will show you a way to keep track of your progress. I truly want your success. For that, I have created a special section on my forum where you can post your tasks, keep track of your progress and share the results with the other readers.
Simply visit to this special section of my forum and post the details of your six chosen businesses, the website you have created, the article you have written or your questions, if any.
It's here:

There is a great trend lately of marketers finally moving to niche markets and not just focusing on selling to the make money industry. This is an excellent move and one that will prove to be very profitable for you. However, a problem that many affiliates are hitting is that they don't know how to find good niche affiliate programs.
If there isn't a program in Clickbank, most affiliates are lost! Also, since Clickbank doesn't allow us to search their database, it's too hard to find anything there.
Well, here is a quick and easy way to find any and all of the best and most profitable affiliate program for any niche you desire.
To find affiliate programs from now on you will use Google to help you. Google is a great tool to use because
1. It's free
2. Any site that comes up on the top results is likely reputable and has been around
3. You get thousands of results you can search through
4. You can make your search very specific
Alright, let's discuss in steps, how to Google to find affiliate programs.
1. Go over to http://www.Google.com
2.Type your Niche Title + affiliate This is the step that a lot of people can get confused in so let's clear it right now. Example/ If I am searching for an affiliate program on dog health, I will type this phrase into Google = dog health + affiliate
3. Now the results that I get, all the pages that have the term dog health and the term affiliate will show up.
4. Next open a program like Excel or just take out a piece of paper.
5. Go through the results in Google and keep noting down the different programs that come up.
6. Once you have 10 programs listed, go back and research each of them to find the most profitable one.
Try this strategy on search engines like Yahoo as well. You will get different results and combined between Yahoo and Google, there is no way that you won't find a good affiliate program.
What if you don't find any affiliate programs this way?
Then most likely an affiliate program for your niche does not exist. A great way to make money now is to contact a few of these websites and introduce the concept to them! Perhaps help them set up an affiliate script and share in profits actually, if there is no affiliate program in that nice, you and that company can make BIG profits from it!
There, now you have NO excused not to find profitable niches and build websites for them. You can now find a profitable affiliate program for them all.
Affiliate Product Reviews - An Ultimate Selling Tactic
If you truly want to generate sales, one great way to do so is to create separate web pages for each of your affiliate products and include reviews of each product. Pictures, of course, speak a thousand words, and a picture of each product is very important to closing the sale.
Why does this process work so well? It's simple; people want to see and know all about a product before the pull out their credit card! Here are some points to be sure to include in your affiliate product review pages:
* Always have an uncluttered web page with blocks of text that are easy to read and understand. If you crowd a great deal of information, few people will read all of it. It has been scientifically proven that most people read only about one-third of the information contained in any sales page or review. So, make your web page product review easy to scan and grab specific points from without reading every single word.
* Use highlights to call out specific important points. Again, this goes back to the fact that few people will read all the words. If a specific area is highlighted in yellow or another bright color, their eyes will be drawn to that specific region and that may be all that they read. If you can convince the reader with you highlighted section that they simply MUST know all about this product, then they will probably read more. If you do not grab their attention with compelling information, they will probably continue to another web page.
* Specific benefits to the reader must be described in very few words. Tell the reader exactly what the product will do for them and call them to action!
* Please graphic help attract a person to spend a moment looking at your page. A boring page, in terms of graphics, will probably not hold the reader's attention long enough to even get them to read the highlights, much less the sales information.
* Focus on compelling, eye-catching headlines for each page. If your review begins with a bang, then people will read more of the text. A headline such as "How Product XYZ Saved My Life - And Can Save Yours, Too" will generate more readers than a headline such as "Product XYZ Works Great".
* Never produce web page affiliate product reviews that are totally essay-style. Remember; make the page so that the reader who simply scans will pick up enough information to compel them to read more.
* Make the reader have to take an action to get more information. The more a person becomes involved with a product review page, the more likely they will follow all the way through to the payment process and complete the sale. A short poll, a signup for a free report, anything that makes the person provide input can get them involved enough to follow through. Think about Publisher's Clearing House; they always make you participate to fill out an entry form. Use the same concept but apply it to your affiliate product review pages.
* Keep the page short! 500-600 words are enough to convey almost any concept you wish to send. No one wants to read on and on and on without gaining truly new information. Shorter is often better than longer. The European style seems to be, of late, a long, long web page, but many Americans just won't stand for scrolling down over and over to get to the prize!
* Be sure you are providing good information that the product you are promoting will actually provide. There is no need to tell "fish tales" to make a sale. A good product, where only the facts are provided in the review, will sell itself!
These few points can make your affiliate product review pages stand out among the crowd. And there is a crowd, so you have to work hard to really stand out. It is worth the time and effort in sales you will generate!
