subject: How To Become A Super Affiliate Tips 5-8 [print this page]

In the first part of this article, we looked at four tips that

will start you on your way to becoming a super affiliate;

mindset, viewpoint, learning curve, and budget. Now

you're ready to move onto goals, nuts and bolts, look

before you leap, and flip the switch.

5. Goals: s/he shoots - s/he scores! Your goals will get you

through the tough times. There'll be lots of days when you

feel like quitting. If you make your goals tangible, you'll

make it through the tough days. Money isn't a motivator, but

what money can buy, is. Set your goals for a family vacation,

a new car, boat, or home. It's much easier to get excited

about a shiny red corvette in your driveway than $100,000

sitting in your bank account. Money is only numbers on a piece

of paper or a computer screen, but it can bring you a

luxurious lifestyle, and that's where the fun is.

6. Nuts and Bolts: Once you've got your house in order, with

the proper mindset, you're looking at your business from a

realistic viewpoint, you've got an open mind and you're ready

to learn, you've set aside some time and money and you've got

pictures of your dream house, car and vacation plastered on

your wall, you're ready to go hunting. The next step is to

find a business that interests you and offers an affiliate

program with a reasonable commission. For information

products, one of the most popular and profitable products online, you

can and should expect a commission of 40% - 50% or more.

Pick a product that interests you. Buy it and use it. Your

business is based on your recommendations of a product or

service. If you haven't used it, how can you recommend it?

Running around in circles after the newest, hottest selling

product of the day, only leaves you dizzy and broke. If you

like astronomy, becoming an affiliate of a star chart company

may be a good fit. Selling women's pantyhose may not.

7. Look before you leap: Finding a company to represent as an

affiliate is one thing, finding a company that respects its

affiliates is another. Do a bit of research before you jump

on the bandwagon. Send an email to the company as if you're a

potential customer. 24 48 hours is a good response time.

This shows that someone is actually running the company. It

also gives you an idea of their commitment. Generally, the

faster the response, the more committed the company is to

doing business. The quality of the response is also important.

Did the response answer your question? Was it written in a

friendly, professional manor? Did they answer your question

directly or simply send you to a FAQ sheet?

8. Flip the switch: If everything checks out up to this point,

then your next step is to take action. Fill out the affiliate

application form and get your affiliate URL. Now the ball is

in your court. It's time to get down to brass tacks. If you

freeze now, you make no money and flush your goals down the

toilet. If you take action, you make it one step closer to

your goals.
