A Super Affiliate Traffic Tip – Traffic Tip #69

An affiliate marketer, is, of course, a person who makes the majority of their income marketing other people’s products.

As someone who sells my own products, I give affiliates incentives to sell my products by calculating how much I would spend to get a new lead to buy a given product, and passing that income on to my affiliates.

Sometimes that’s up to 50%, so on a $100, an affiliate would incur none of the cost of creating the product, paying for professional graphics, sales copy, hosting, etc.

If you’re an affiliate, you do, however, have to figure out how to get people to buy a product with the cost of doing so as close to zero as possible, to maximize the money you put in your pocket, and reduce the amount of up-front money you spend on expenses.

Confused about how this is possible? You’re not alone.

Because if you simply dump as much money as you can into advertising, you’re not always certain of the return. You might turn to free traffic methods, but you can only be sure that your time investment will be profitable IF you’re able to predict a steady conversion rate of immediate visitors to sales.

Then there’s the fact that you’d constantly be starting over again. Once the customer decides to buy or not buy, or the hype for the product dies down, you’ll have to start your search for the perfect customer all over again.

Unless you apply the super affiliate traffic secret.

The secret is right before your eyes. In internet marketing circles, who always seems to make the most money from a big launch, you know, besides the product owner.

Yes, the JV partners. And who makes the best kinds of partners?

People with their own audiences.

People with lists they can mail out to whenever the next new thing comes out.

Now, I’m not trying to tell you that you need to go out and get a list of 100,000 people before you can be a super affiliate. You could start out well enough with a list of 1000. But you’ve got to start out with some kind of list, at some time.

Start a site of your own to capture people who are all interested in the area you most often market in. It could be as simple as a one page site with a video, a short summary of your newsletter and a sign-up block. Or it could be a blog that you maintain daily, maybe a forum.

The point is, start a central location, a base of operations where you start your own community of like-minded individuals. Then you’ll be making suggestions to the same group of people each month.

There’s another big secret super affiliates have, but that’s technically another tip.

The next one, in fact.
