Many super affiliate marketers will make over $100,000 this year. Some affiliate marketers won't even make $1. It isn't the products that are being sold. It isn't the amount of education or luck these affiliate marketers have. It comes down to how the affiliate is marketing the product. That is what separates super affiliates from affiliates who don't make any money. Here are some affiliate marketing tips to help you become a top seller.

Super Affiliate Marketing Tip #1 - Have Your Own Website.

Many affiliate programs will give you a website, which is set up and ready to go. These websites are usually well-designed, and work well to sell the product or service.  But keep in mind that you are probably not the only affiliate trying to sell this particular product or service, and all the other affiliates have an identical website. While these sites make web development easy on the affiliate, they are usually not effective.  Google is said to have implemented a “duplicate content filter” which weeds out duplicate web pages from their search results.  Also, these sites are usually bogged down in code to give the site a sleek graphical look.  But search engines prefer lean code that is easy for them to index.   Have your own website, with your own domain, and your own content. This way, you can presell the products, and you can sell more than one product or service, while only promoting one website. This is vital. Super affiliates have their own websites, and you should too.

Super Affiliate Marketing Tip #2 - Have Your Own Opt-In List

This is another common affiliate marketing tip that works, and is used by super affiliates. Building your own opt-in list is vital to your success. It isn't hard. You can sign up with a paid service, such as Aweber at http://www.aweber.com or a free service, such as Yahoo at http://www.yahoo.com to manage your mailing list. Put a subscribe box on every single page of your website, then send your subscribers news and information that they can use that centers around your product on a regular basis. There are also many list building services that work well for getting a large number of subscribers, such as Listopt at http://www.listopt.com .

Super Affiliate Marketing Tip #3 - Your Own Creatives

The creatives you use, such as banners, text links, sales letters, articles, and websites matter. The affiliate program manager will often provide these creatives, but it is better to use your own. This will allow you to presell the product, and enable you to do it in a way that sets you apart from the other affiliates. Write your own sales material, or hire someone to do it for you. This is an affiliate marketing tip used by top sellers all the time.

Super Affiliate Marketing Tip #4 - Offer Something For Free On The Front End

Write an ebook or report that is informative and useful to your website visitors, and use the ebook or report to promote the products that you are selling. This is another affiliate marketing tip that the top sellers use. Give the ebook or report away. You can use it as an incentive to sign up for your free newsletter. All top affiliate marketers know that 'free' sells.

Super Affiliate Marketing Tip #5 - Offer Something For Free On The Back End

Offer something for free when someone purchases a product through your affiliate link. In most cases, you are notified when you've made a sale. When promoting products, let your potential customers know that you will give them another, in-depth free ebook, or support, or another freebie of some sort once they have purchased the product. This is also great incentive, and works great for high ticket items, but can also work for smaller ticket items as well.
