Affiliate Marketing Tutorial – Where Newbies Miss Out!

As a newbie to online marketing it is VERY important you start off on the right foot. In this tutorial i will briefly explain what the super affiliates do & how you can emulate them.

The  Concept Affiliate Marketing

What  Super Affiliates & stores want you to do is sign-up to their affiliate programs, use their links & banners to send them customers.

The Super Affiliate or store gets the sale & you get your commission.

Win Win?

No Win – Loose

And YOU are the looser.

You have spent the time & the money finding customers.

They get the sale AND a customer.

So why are you the looser?

Because now you have to go looking for someone else to send to them. While they utilize the resource (Customer) you sent them.

Yes customers are resources & handled correctly this sale was just the first of many. This customer has already proven that they are ready to buy online & is obviously interested in what they just bought.

The difference between an Affiliate & a Super Affiliate.

A Newbie affiliate has not collected any information from this prospect.

A Super Affiliate has their email & knows what they are interested in, many times even if they didn’t make a purchase.

If they didn’t make a purchase the Newbie Affiliate gets nothing!

How do I become a Super Affiliate?

Stop throwing away your hard work for pennies on the dollar!

Many affiliate marketers are very happy to receive their commission checks & are blind to the potential. They either don’t see the potential or they figure it is too complicated to emulate the Super Affiliates.

Well its not complicated & there is a huge potential

Capturing a Resource

There are many techniques for acquiring peoples details but first & foremost you need an autoresponder – Please don’t waste your time with autoresponder scripts they just don’t offer the features you will need if you are going to list build efficiently. There are several services & I encourage you to  compare I personally recommend AWebber as it easily integrates with all the major payment services.

Having an autoresponder is one thing using it efficiently is another.

If you are already selling something then integrating the autoresponder with your payment service is critical. You have a customer, & you know what they are interested in. So now its just a simple case of offering them additional products or services related to the original sale.

If you are a regular affiliate as in the business model above DONT send your prospects to the merchants sales page. You know what they are looking for so send them to a landing page, commonly referred to as a squeeze page.

Here you should offer them added value & an easy way out to go to the merchants site. This technique will save the sale if your squeeze page is not compelling enough. A “Not Interested” button will suffice.

Added value would be a product comparison if the product you are promoting has competition & you are an affiliate of both products, or you could offer additional information about the product itself.

Whatever you offer once the potential customer has signed up to your list or hit the not interested button forward them on to the original affiliate url.

If your squeeze page is compelling you now have everything you need to monetize this prospect. Set up your auto responder to send offers & information relating to the original product.

It is not hard & the rewards are well worth the effort!
