People who create a full-time income with affiliate programs are known as “Super Affiliates”. Most super affiliates make up to $150,000 to 1 million dollars or more every year with free affiliate programs. Here are the simple, but must-known super affiliate secrets, you must know.

Super Affiliate Secret#1

Build a website to build a list

One of the main secrets all affiliate marketers understand is the importance of a list of prospects and customers. While many companies with affiliate programs suggest that you don’t need a website to promote their products or services, I highly recommend that you create a website(or ask one of the professional marketers make it for you) to feature the affiliate products on, so that you can create a mailing list(opt-in list). Why do you need to create a mailing list? Because many of the visitors to your website won’t buy the first time. So you’ll need to contact them multiple times. Second, you want to build a bond with your customers, so you should make a monthly newsletter(or biweekly and weekly).

One of the easiest ways to capture, manage and email your growing mailing lists is with an auto-responder. Main email address of your website automatically answers all of the questions customers ask, even when you sleep.

Mailing list (auto-responder) will increase your profits at least 400% (Auto-responder is one of the best, easy and free money making methods).

Choose high percentage commissions

Look for affiliate programs that have a high pay rate for each sale. The higher the commission, the less traffic you will need to meet your revenue goals. Suppose, for example, you are promoting information product and would like to earn $2000 a month. One company may pay you $20 per sale and another $50 per sale. For the first company you will have to make 100 sales to reach your goal. With the second you will only need to make only 40 sales.

As you start making more money you will have more leverage to negotiate your commissions. For example, one company might give every affiliate a 35% commission on all referred sales. However, if yiu generate a large number of sales for this company you can contact their affiliate support person and ask for an increased rate, possibly 50-60%. If you are really producing consistent sales, it’s likely you will get an increased commission. It will increase your monthly commissions and put more cash into your bank account. So once you get established and start generating significant sales, start asking for increased commissions.

Viral Marketing

Viral marketing is very important marketing concept. Viral marketing is any type of marketing that spreads from person to person like a virus.

For example, there are websites that gives visitors the ability to send free e-cards to friends and family. It starts off small at first, with just a few people sending e-cards to one another. However, each person who receives an e-card sees a link to the website of the companies, so if they choose they can send a card to someone else.

Another example of viral marketing which helps to make a lot of money is selling e-book with affiliate links for products an services in it absolutely free. You give entire e-book free of charge and let everyone also give it away free. Whenever people read the e-book, they normally end-up buying one of the products or services he recommends inside.

Hide URL’s behind new domains

It is a simple trick that will help you save your affiliate commissions. After you become affiliate for a company you are often give a very long, coded affiliate link for you to promote and your affiliate link is added to the domain name. There are very long affiliate codes and it is very easy for someone to shorten the link down to just domain name(without your affiliate code), go to that website and, if they buy, the affiliate is out of their commission.

So instead of promoting your affiliate link, you can go to any domain name registration company and register a new domain name for very easy price. Then you can have your new domain name forward visitors to your affiliate link.

Above-mentioned affiliate secrets are very great techniques so you must use them if you want to make huge affiliate profits in your online business.
