How To Become A Super Affiliate Bum Marketer
By Justin Michie | May 19, 2008
Internet marketers often dream of earning big commissions and achieving super affiliate status through affiliate programs. However, getting those huge affiliate checks takes much more than just having a website and products to promote.
In truth, most super affiliates use resources beyond the average marketers’ reach. They can make a lot of sales very quickly thanks to their massive email lists. They also often pour huge sums into pay per click campaigns. While these tactics are simply not an option (yet) for the vast majority, there are many things you can do to get yourself that much closer to your own super affiliate award.
Here are some super affiliate strategies you can start on today to help you jump ahead of the pack:
Fix Your Website
Some people say that you can be an affiliate even if you don’t have your own website. While you can be an affiliate, you are missing out on the full income potential if you don’t have your own site. This gives you multiple ways and opportunities to sell to prospects, greatly boosting your sales.
Not just any site will do though. Users like websites that are clean and easy to use. You should limit your use of superlatives, glaring colors and large text for example. And make sure that all your pages have links to every other page for easy navigation and that all your pages feature helpful information and not just advertisements.
You should also organize your website according to content. Place affiliate product ads on the pages that have related content. Study click through and conversion statistics and reposition items or discard or replace items that are not earning.
Make Your Own Advertisements
Do not stick with your affiliate marketing program’s pre-set sales page and ads because other affiliates have the same ads. Write your own sale page, promotional content, follow up letters and ad content. Then test, track and tweak these to further increase your response and conversion rates.
Advertise Using Pay Per Click Programs
Advertise through PPC programs like Google AdWords, Yahoo Search Marketing or Microsoft Adcenter. You only pay every time a user clicks on your ad. This is the most effective and fastest way to send targeted traffic to your website.
Starting a PPC campaign is easy enough, but for it to be profitable you have to do your homework. Do proper keyword research and be sure that your ads are interesting enough to get clicked. Make sure you continuously track and update your ads or you’ll just be throwing money away. As you get a solid ad campaign going, you can put some of your profits back into it, and eventually you’ll build a massive and highly profitable income stream.
Advertise On Related Sites
You can also advertise through multiple websites that have been indexed and ranked high by search engines. Enter keywords on a search engine to find sites related to your affiliate products. Check out these sites and inquire about the possibility of advertising through text links and banner ads.
Write Content For Search Engines
Internet users most often look for items and topics of interest through search engines. You should therefore put relevant content on your web site that will be easy for search engines to locate and rank. Search engines filter duplicate content so use only original content or edited PLR content. Make your content useful, informative and update it frequently so that users will keep on coming back to your site once they’ve found it through a search engine.
Build An E-mail List
Visitors to your website may not immediately buy an item on their first visit. Invite them to leave you their email addresses in exchange for free reports, ebooks or a newsletter related to your product topic. Use their email addresses to later invite them back to your affiliate site and stake another look at the products you are promoting.
Use your bum marketing skills in conjunction with these super affiliate tips to bring in tons of sales across several niches. As always, write lots of original and informative articles related to the products you’re selling. If your articles are interesting and useful enough, readers will click through to your website and buy the products that you are endorsing. With these super affiliate tactics you’ll be able to boost your bum marketing results, while building lists and growing your bank account!

Interesting, lol.
There is something that people should be aware of though. I say this from personal experience, as I was one of the most prolific article writers on one article site. I was in the top 1000 out of over 120,000 articles writers on there, with more page views than most people get hot dinners, plus of course audios etc.
I even have a free rebrandable viral eBook out there, want a copy, just sign up for it on my website, it originally went viral in a JV givaway about a month ago and is going like wildfire. Come and join me sometime, have fun, Linda
