Affiliate marketing has sprouted quite a few elites known as Super Affiliates but have you ever wondered how they got there? They are the ones who have consistently looked for ways to do business more efficiently and effectively. A super affiliate is one who makes sales and profits more consistently than a normal affiliate. You too, can become a
Super Affiliate. It is NOT as hard as you might think.
The majority of affiliates either just post a few links here and there and hope for traffic or they just don't know how to effectively promote a product. There's more to it than just throwing up a web page and posting a link inside an article on your website to generate a decent affiliate revenue.
Here are just a few things a super affiliate does that the majority affiliates don't:
1. Redirect Links
2. Setup Squeeze pages
3. Give away a Free report or eCourse
4. Build a mailing list from the squeeze page
5. Offer Bonuses and Incentives to sweeten the deal
6. Take advantage of Thank You and Error pages
These things are not hard to do. Everyday a new affiliate signs up to promote a product with the objective of promoting it, but as soon as they do even one of the above tasks, they quickly forget about it and move on to something else.
Super affiliates follow through with a set routine and don't skip any of the steps. Then they track and test their results.
It's Easy to Redirect Your Affiliate Links!
We've all been to websites, click on a link just to find out it's an affiliate link. Here's an example: www.mywebsite.com/affiliate?tid=BOB. Most people will go try to find the direct website rather than clicking on this kind of link.
The easiest way to redirect your affiliate links is to setup a redirect on your own website with your own domain name. Just create a new directory folder then insert a PHP file into that folder with the redirect code. For example, if I was promoting AffiliateCodeMarketing.Com , I could create a directory on my site that looks like this:
AffiliateCodeMarketing.Com/affiliatemarketing/index.php. When you hover over that link, you won't see the affiliate link in the bottom left of your browser. You just see the link to your own website. When you click on the link, it goes to your website then it is redirected to the main offer site. To get the code and video instructions on how to do this go to this website:

Use Your Own Squeeze Pages
In most cases it is better to build your own squeeze page for each product you are promoting. This is especially true if you are going to be using pay per click advertising such as Google. Building your own squeeze pages is easy if you get a template. You can get templates here:

List Building
It's all in your list is very true in
affiliate marketing. If you want to be a super affiliate you need to make the most of the lists that you build. You can put a simple form on your squeeze page to capture names and email addresses. The best way to build a form for your web page is to go setup an account with
Aweber. There you can setup an autoresponder for you free report or ecourse, then setup a web form. Then you copy and paste the code onto your web page.
Bonus Offers & Incentives to purchase Through You
Bonus items are added along with a product to add value and help the buyer feel like they are getting more than their money's worth. The key is to offer a bonus product or incentive that is related to your main offer. Sometimes a customer wants a bonus offer as much as or more than the original offer.
Thank You and Error pages can be another source of Revenue
When someone signs up on your squeeze page, they are sent to either a Thank You page or an Error page. When they get there, they see a brief message saying that they will be receiving
an email message confirming their subscription or purchase.
This is a perfect opportunity to present your main affiliate offer. Here's an example of a Thank You page with an affiliate offer:
http://www.affiliatecodemarketing.com/thankyou.htm. You can also do this with your error pages.
So there you have it. If you follow up and put into action each of these ideas, then you are well on your way to becoming a Super Affiliate.

affiliate marketing strategies into action and ways to get FREE traffic to your affiliate offer to make money immediately, see
