3 Steps to Affiliate Programs Success- By: Mark Thomas

Description : What is the easiest way to make money on the internet? According to many super affiliate gurus, the answer is affiliate marketing.

Of course there are lots of other ways that you can make money money online, but in terms of the amount of effort required compared to the level of potential income available, nothing beats affiliate marketing.

The term affiliate simply means someone who is selling the product of another person. So, how do affiliate marketers earn money? Well, they are paid a commission on every sale that they make. Basically, they take advantage of the quality and branding of an already successful product in order to put money into their own pocket.

For both the creators of products and marketers, this is an ideal situation. The creators of products get their products spread over the web, and can sell to thousands of people without spending money to advertise (affiliates will spend money in the different campaigns). And for the affiliate, he can start his business, or earn an extra income, without owning a product.

An even better opportunity for affiliates, and definitely something to watch out for, are two tier affiliate programs, which allow you to earn commissions on not just your own sales, but also those sales made by members of your affiliate team. In this case you will be a master affiliate: the people that you recruited are selling the same merchant s products, but you will be able to coach them and you will also earn a commission on all their sales. That can represent a good monthly income for you too.

If the thought of becoming a super affiliate guru appeals to you, then you just need to follow this 3 point plan...

1. Create a landing page.

2. Set up a method of capturing the names and email addresses of those who visit your landing page.

3. You must follow up with your autoresponder to sell other products again and again to your prospects.

Make sure you capture your visitors email because most of your visitors won t buy the first time they visit your website, and if another affiliate directs him (with his tracker cookies) to the website, and he finally decides to buy the product, you will lose the commission!

Looking a little more long term too, by building a list of prospects, when you have the time and resources to create your own product, you will have people to sell it to. All that you will need to do is send an email to your list, and if you have already established a relation based on trust with them, by providing only useful information and products, they will accept whatever you have to offer.

This is a tried and test approach that super affiliate gurus swear by. It really is as simple as following the 3 point plan set out above. Follow that plan and you too can soon be earning the type of money that other affiliates are already earning on a daily basis.
