These people called "super affiliates" are just ordinary people like you but they do things differently from rest of crowd. They see game from a different angle and they play it with a different strategy. How then do these super affiliates play their game?

The first strategy super affiliates adopt, is that instead of sending traffic to site of program/ product they are promoting, send it to theirs. You see, most people advertise their affiliate sites which people will go to and never buy anything.

Super affiliates understand that people are not inclined to buy anything at their first contact with product, that they will need to be contacted on so many occasions before they can make precious purchase. Super affiliates use this as an edge over their competitors.

When they drive traffic to their sites, they entice them to join their opt-in list by offering them something "nice" in return. After joining list, people can then be advertised to as long as super affiliates want and so long subscribers are not complaining.

So, it is very important for you to know that if you want to make it big in affiliate game, you must have your own opt-in list. Stop spending money to send traffic away, instead bring them to your site and make them join your list by any means, it is very IMPORTANT.

Super affiliates do get to know product they promote inside out. That is another advantage they exploit over their competitors. They buy product they want to promote and they digest all contents of product so that they will be able to tell their prospects what is in it for them.

How many times have you signed up to promote a product you don't even know about? Do you think if a sales person turns up at your door to tell you of a product, he cannot even tell its usefulness to you, will you buy from such a person? No! That is why some people will not buy whatever you promote, because they don't really know what it will do for them and what it has done for you promoter.

Get to know what you are promoting so that you can tell your prospects what product is all about and how it can be of help to them. Your own personal testimonies matters a lot because it is what will motivate them to buy from you.

Another super affiliate's game plan is that they stand out from crowd.

ClickBank Questions by Stephan Miller

It would seem that Clickbank would provide more for their customers. Obviously, when it comes to internet marketing and affiliate programs, you could put it in your top 10 links. No other database of affiliate programs offers such a possibility for profit on either affiliate side or product creation site. And you can't beat fact that commissions from over 10,000 products get consolidated into one check. But there are still a few lingering questions that may get you thinking.

What is up with site? I mean, a site shouldn't be overly complex. In fact, complexity can be a turn off. Then again, I have found more complex site templates from free sites. And its not just that. How many of you Clickbank affiliates have found news about Clickbank or FAQ's about Clickbank on a forum, clicked link and FAQ is on Clickbank domain. But, if you go to Clickbank homepage, there is no link to page you just visited.

I don't know about you, but if I were running a business, I would make sure that customers and vendors could get all of information possible and not have to find out news through third party sources. But, on other hand, I can't complain. The checks do come in. I have never had to search for a customer service link on site, because there has been no reason to. You make sales and you get a check. It's that simple and I have never found anyone who says otherwise.

Then you've got to wonder about search feature. There is none. But why? For one reason, if Clickbank itself had a search feature, any internet user who is familiar with Clickbank clicking on an affiliate's hoplink could recognize this. They could then go to Clickbank and buy product under their own affiliate ID at up to 75% off, which wouldn't matter much to Clickbank or product seller, at least in beginning. They still collect their cash.

But eventually, product seller would notice a drop in sales. Affiliates would become less than satisfied with results of all their hard work and stop working as hard to make sales that weren't coming in anyway. Therefore, there would be less advertising of product in total. You can't underestimate value of an affiliate army who are rewarded accordingly.

There are plenty of third party products available that will essentially build a search engine on a Clickbank affiliate's site for them.

Even without this, there are some out there who know what a Clickbank Hoplink looks like and just where to put their own Clickbank ID in order to make a commission for themselves.
