How to Make Real Money from Affiliate Programs


It is an often quoted statistic that about90% of affiliates make no money from affiliateprograms.

The top 10% of affiliates make all the money.Some of these are super affiliates who makevery large sums of money indeed.

What is the reason for the big differencebetween those who succeed and those who fail?

The following rules should be followed whenchoosing affilite programs:

1) Only promote products/sevices in a niche that is in demand and profitable.

2) Join programs where you earn at least 20% commissions on sales.

3) Only promote products that tie in with the theme of your web site. Unrelated products make a site look bad and sell poorly.

4) Concentrate on promoting programs that pay recurring or lifetime commissions. In other words, make a sale once and get paid indefinitely for any repeat sales to the same customer.

This is the big secret of the super affiliates.They put most of their efforts into promotingresidual/lifetime affiliate programs. Gradually, like compound interest their profitsmount up.

If you are not in a residual affiliate programand you get paid only once per sale, you willnever get rich. You are wasting your time chasing one sale per customer and getting onlyone commission. Whereas the big affiliateearners put their effort into recruitingcustomers who will give them lifetime commissionson all the sales they make at any time in the future.
