Secret Strategies Super Affiliates Use to Make $100K per Year in Affiliate Commissions

Anyone with a web site or opt-in mailing list can join programs like IMC's affiliate program. All you need to do is place an affiliate link on your web site, or in an e-mail promotion, and you're in business.

BUT...simply putting an affiliate link on your web site in no way guarantees you'll actually be successful as an affiliate. In order to maximize your click-throughs and earn large profits (up to $100,000 per year!) -- in other words, in order to become what we call a super affiliate -- you need to treat your affiliate product like it's your own business.

Read on to learn how people just like you make up to $100,000 per year -- while working only ten hours per week -- OR LESS!

What makes a super affiliate super?

As you might imagine from the name, a super affiliate is someone who brings good business sense and the drive to succeed to an affiliate program -- and as a result, is able to earn an exceptional living recommending other people's products.

It's no secret why super affiliates earn up to $100,000 per year. They understand that they can't just sit back and watch their commission checks roll in. As with anything else, it takes a lot of strategy and planning to be a highly successful affiliate.

Here are three of the key strategies that top-selling affiliates follow faithfully in order to maximize their click-throughs -- and their profits...

Offer quality products your customers will relate to Super affiliates know that the most important thing they need to do is be sure that the affiliate products or services they're promoting are somehow relevant to their customers.

If you don't offer relevant products to your customers, you'll not only have a much more difficult time making sales -- you could actually end up damaging your credibility, and decreasing your sales. Your customers will start to view you as someone who is just out to make a quick buck, rather than as a trusted source of information.

For example: If you sell golf clubs on your site, then you shouldn't choose weight-loss pills for your affiliate promotion. It should be related to golf in some way.

Remember, potential customers will be very interested to learn what brand of golf clubs a golf expert would recommend, but these same customers are going to become confused and even irritated if you start promoting weight-loss products to them.

Fortunately, many IMC products appeal to a wide and diverse range of markets. Lots and lots of people want to hear about ways they can create financial independence. That's why our information products are a good way to start out as an affiliate.

Drive swarms of traffic to your site

Super affiliates know that, in order to make serious money as affiliates, they need to play "the numbers game." Here's what I mean:

Between 1% and 20% of the people who visit your web site will click through your affiliate link. (The range is wide because it all depends on how targeted your traffic is and how good the affiliate link, banner ad, text link, or other promotional tool you're using is.)

Out of every 200 people who actually click through your affiliate link (not just visit your site, but actually click on your affiliate link), only 1 to 2 will buy.

What does this mean? The bottom line is that in order to make one affiliate sale, you'll need to attract at least 500 people to your web site.

Now, I'm not telling this to scare you -- after all, there are plenty of IMC affiliates just like you who easily drive more traffic than this to their sites each and every month. I just want you to be aware that it takes a bit of work.

So how do you go about driving more people to your site? There are a number of strategies that super affiliates use to keep visitors coming:

    * Discussion group contributions
    * E-mail marketing (click here to learn more)
    * Classified ads

Actively market your products for maximum exposure
IMC's top affiliates know this: No matter how great the affiliate products you're selling are, people aren't going to beat a path to your door to get them. You need to bring the products to the customers. That's why super affiliates devote a big chunk of their time to actively marketing the products.

If you have a list of newsletter subscribers that you've been regularly mailing an e-zine or newsletter to, then you're already perfectly positioned to bring your products to your customers -- and become a super affiliate.

That's because your subscribers see your newsletter as a valuable resource. They look to you for advice, news, industry updates, and other valuable information. So why not take advantage of your reputation as a credible source of information to sell affiliate products?

If you don't have an opt-in mailing list yet, now is the time to start one. It's easier than you might think. You just need to come up with a killer free offer for something that visitors to your site want -- then ask for their e-mail addresses in return.
