© Copyright By T.H. Quah
It is often published on the web that 95% of all affiliate
marketers do not make any money.
Why?
The answer is simple. They are merely hobbyist indulging
in affiliate marketing as a past time. They are not
serious. Although their original plan is to make money,
they have no commitment power.
Is that you?
If you really want to make money in affiliate marketing,
then you need to do what the successful 5% are doing.
Just follow their proven path. You do not need to
re-invent the wheel.
Here are 10 proven tips from the super affiliates:
1. Get Serious.
Treat this like any business with the ultimate goal of
making a profit. Write a plan, follow the plan and
stick to your plan. Nothing works if you don't.
2. Prepare Yourself Well
Read as much as you can on the subject. There are lots
of free quality materials that are sufficient to give
you a head start. Then you should buy a couple of the
recommended handbooks or manuals on more specialized
area of affiliate marketing. 'You need to spend some
money to make money' as the saying goes.
3. Built Your Own Opt-in-list or Ezine
That's what the super affiliate has in their arsenal.
You may have read about it many times "the money is in
the list". And it's true! You can earn thousands of
dollars overnight with a responsive targeted list. It
has been proven again and again.
4. Built Mini-Sites
Affiliate marketing focused on preselling. You don't need
big bulky website with 100's of pages. Just mini-sites!
Start with one. Then another and another. It's like
opening your own retail store on the Internet. Each store
producing some sales. When you have more stores, you'll
have more sales and a bigger total income. A whole book
has been written on how to built mini-sites.
5. Do Your Research
There is really too much garbage on the web. If you want
to succeed, you need to research properly on what people
need. What are the best products available? Match them
together and you're in for the gold. Take research
seriously in all aspects of your affiliate marketing.
It pays!
6. Get Your Own Domain Name

your sites. It's the professional way on the net. Your
visitors must

be made to feel that you're a serious and
in for the long haul. Otherwise, they'll not bother to
read what you have to say.
7. Focus on Themes
Do not make market too many different products on your
site. Work on 'theme' site with products focused on that
theme. For example, if your theme is 'Dogs', then you
can have dog food, dog toys, dog kennels, dog books,
dog diets, etc.
8. Invest Your Time
Or invest your money. Or invest both! Affiliate marketing
is not a get-quick-rich scheme. You need to work on it
for a period of time before seeing any results. It could
be quicker if you invest some money for advertising or
purchase new tools.
9. Keep Your Finger On the Pulse
Affiliate marketing is evolving all the time. There are
new rules, new products, new tools. Things changes. What
worked last year may not work now. You must keep yourself
up to date. Read niche ezine on affiliate marketing, read
articles and participate on the specific forums. Stay
connected!
10. Promote! Promote! Promote!
Finally, it's all about promotion. Do it daily, weekly or
as often as you wish. But just do it consistently. There
is no magic formula for success accept hard work. Promote,
promote, promote and the sales will come.
Affiliate marketing is not for everyone and not everyone
is into affiliate marketing. However, if you have penchant
for it and is prepared to follow a proven path, then you
will succeed eventually. Joining the successful 5 percent
is not impossible. You'll just need to focus your effort
with a consistency of purpose.
