I. Affiliate marketing guides
It is natural for bloggers who start to gather a following to consider revenue opportunities to
reward their time and effort.
Google AdSense is a popular option for its plug and play nature. Sadly, it tends to be a
disappointing source of income for most bloggers. The average RPM (revenue per thousand
impressions of an ad) is fairly low in most niches, so you won’t get much side income from
AdSense unless you have a very large audience. For example, if you average $3 RPM, you need
a thousand visitors per day to pay for your daily latte (or more if you frequent Starbucks).
Bloggers who look around and explore their options a little more in-depth, may find the lucrative
world of affiliate marketing. It’s a simple idea really. Imagine that I create a product and then
want you to help me sell as many of it as possible. You, the affiliate, will promote the product for
me through your blog. When a sale is made thanks to you (we’ll track that through a special link
and browser cookies), I’ll give a portion of that sale to you. The percentage varies but it can be
very high, with 50% being the norm for digital products.
If you are unscrupulous you could promote all sort of junk to make a buck, whether you honestly
think it’s worth recommending or not. You could even promote products that you down right
know suck, and still get your cut. And it turns out people actually do just this. As a result,
affiliate marketers have a very bad reputation, despite there being nothing inherently wrong with
receiving money for providing a marketing service.
Amazon Associates was one of the earliest and, currently, largest affiliate programs around. The
operating margins are much smaller for Amazon, so the percentage that you get for each sale is
rather small compared to that of most products online. We’re talking about 4-8.50% for most
items, instead of the 50-75% you’d get from other digital products you could be promoting.

2. Furthermore, with Amazon you don’t generally receive recurring referral revenue like you do
with other digital products that charge a monthly fee and not a one-off fee.
Amazon’s operating agreement also requires you to be above-board when it comes to the way
you go about promoting their products. Other affiliate programs online may gladly close one eye
on your techniques if you are moving sales and making them money.
To further make Amazon less appealing to some affiliates, the referral cookie only lasts 24
hours, versus 30 or 60 days, which is common for online sales of digital products. This means
that if you refer someone to Amazon.com today, and they were to buy a product three days from
now, you won’t be getting anything at all. With more common affiliate relationships, you’d be
getting a cut even if the user were to make a purchasing decision a month and a half after the first
visit you generated (assuming that they didn’t clear their cookies, that is).
As a result, Amazon Associates is often ignored or berated by large affiliates. In fact it’s even a
much underrated revenue option among bloggers. Amazon, and not AdSense, should be the first
go-to option for bloggers looking to earn some money from their blogs. Amazon Associates is,
and has been for years now, my number one source of blogging income.
To make this case, below I list a series of reasons why I recommend giving Amazon Associates a
serious shot, despite its shortcomings.
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.

3. 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
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

4. 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.
