This is where specialists enter. The new breed of webmaster that focuses on particular products or services. Alternatively your focus may be on one area, and selecting only best-selling, highest-paying commissions for that field. Then you target your affiliates with high level affiliate marketing techniques. Now there is room for specialist to succeed.

Target your affiliate programs.

Pick just a few.

Concentrate all of your time into marketing these programs - because you are so passionate about product or service you are selling, you will drive more targeted traffic to your affiliate program.

Because they are giving so much away to their affiliates with high commissions it shows they are supremely confident in worth of their product or service and its ability to sell itself. Their product or service is that good.

The affiliates are doing all pre-selling, all hard work, getting eyeballs at their web sites. You want to get paid for it. Do not accept 10% commission rates. Set yourself a standard of nothing less than 20% and make sure that 20% is more than just a couple of dollars.

It is with big-percentage payers where you can make some decent commissions. The 40%-plus hitters. These BIG affiliate program commissions are ones that will see your bank balance explode each and every month.
