I. Affiliate marketing guides
My introduction to affiliate marketing happened so fast I didn’t have time to blink. I didn’t
know a thing about it and I was scared–so scared when I first did it.
You see, when I first started working online, I was writing content for websites and working as a
virtual assistant. The latter was very tough because it made me do a lot of things I know nothing
about but it ended up teaching me so much of the things I do now. And that includes affiliate
marketing.
Affiliate marketing is a very lucrative career. You can make a lot of money here. What’s better is
that being an affiliate will allow you to create passive income. That should allow you to work
less and enjoy your life more.
So if you’re interested in affiliate marketing but are intimidated and don’t want to go through a
long period of learning everything first, then let me share some basics.
Creating an account
It’s easy to register an account in Clickbank and Commission Junction and other similar sites. As
soon as you’ve signed up you can easily get an affiliate link.
For Amazon Associates, you’ll need to apply first and that requires you to have a website first.
So pay attention to the succeeding steps.
Choosing products to promote and sell
There are tons of products to promote but not all will sell. Keyword research and knowing what
people search online plays a big role in finding profitable products.

2. Google and other paid tools can help you figure this out. A simple method is going to Google
Insights. It’s a service that allows you to see what people are searching for. The term(s) that gets
the most search is a good candidate.
You then go to sites for affiliate marketers, like Clickbank, Commission Junction, or Amazon
and find the most relevant product.
There are indicators of popularity of certain products. These should help you feel more confident
about the product you’ll choose. It’s easy to do in Amazon because it has a best sellers page.
Don’t forget to do keyword research because it’ll help you identify terms you’ll use in your
affiliate site.
Building your website
Creating a website has never been easier with the different resources available. WordPress, for
one, is a great tool to have. It’s free and customizable. You don’t need to be technical to build
your site because it’s user-friendly and you can easily find your way.
Purchase a hosting package first and then you’ll be able to install a WordPress site.
Create the content. Using the keywords you’ve found, write articles (or simply outsource them).
When writing articles, make sure that they:
 Highlight the features of your product
 Give readers strong reasons to buy from you
 Inform and educate your readers
Spread out your affiliate links throughout the site as text links, banners, image links, and even
widgets.
Don’t forget to create important pages like About Us, Privacy Policy, Contact.
In addition, choose a theme that best suits your niche. You can ask someone who knows web
design to give your website a nice look. Remember that how your website looks affects traffic
and reader engagement.
Once you’re finished with your site, it’s time to create backlinks and get it ranked. For those who
are using Amazon Associates, you can now proceed with your application.
Getting indexed and ranked
Submit your site to Google, Yahoo!, and Bing. You can’t create backlinks unless you’re indexed.
As soon as you’re indexed, you can start building links to get better rankings, which in turn,
drives more traffic and sales. You can build links by doing the following:

specific steps that involve other methods but this is what you need to know right now. These
should get you started.
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 aff iliates have
common tactics that they embrace and put into place. Anyone can become a

4. 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
help you in creating a web site that converts well, which in return will increase
your cash flow.

5. 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.
