Affiliate Summit: Super Affiliate Track
If you are smart and lucky you could be one of the few, the proud, the super affiliate. What is a super affiliate? Simply put, a super affiliate is one who works full time selling others products or services online. If you know what you are doing you can become very successful as an affiliate marketer. Utah local, Jeremy Palmer claims a seven (yes, more than $1,000,000) figure yearly salary as a super affiliate. I’ve met guys here at the Affiliate Summit who are in the $10k up to $60k monthly incomes as super affiliates.
Rosalind Gardner, author of the super affiliate handbook had a great session this morning. Apparently, a lot of people have gotten into the affiliate marketing game and many are failing. She says that the industry has forgotten the basic principles that make affiliate marketers successful. Here are several points she discussed:
- Have a legitimate looking Web site. Most people can detect sites that look like they’re just out to make a buck and they won’t buy from those sites.
- Have a contact page, about page and privacy policy. These things make you legit.
- Have a logo and tagline.
- Content is key! No keyword density tactics.
- Brand yourself. People will trust you and buy from you.
- Collect opt-in email so you can email offers and discounts. This is how many super affiliates are making their money on the Web.
- Add a forum.
- Do telaseminars.
- Conduct survey’s.
- Put out a monthly newsletter.
- Use video on your site.
- Blog.
- Work directly with merchants to negotiate the best possible commission.
If this seems like common sense stuff to you then maybe you ought to get in the game. Its a great second income that can become a full time gig if you are good.
The Utah online marketing conference is coming together. I heard today that its on for October 4th. Mark your calendar and plan to attend.
It seems like every day I meet or hear about another local super affiliate here in Utah. There are a lot of them around, most of them just work out of their homes and keep a pretty low profile, but they’re quietly making some big bucks.
