How To Make Real Money from Affiliate ProgramsIt is an often quoted statistic that about 90% of affiliates make no money from affiliate programs.
The top 10% of affiliates make all money. Some of these are super affiliates who make very large sums of money indeed.
What is reason for big difference between those who succeed and those who fail?
The following rules should be followed when choosing 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 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 same customer.
This is big secret of super affiliates. They put most of their efforts into promoting residual/lifetime affiliate programs. Gradually, like compound interest their profits mount up.
