10 Secrets of the Super Affiliate Mindset - If you want...
(Page 4 of 5 )
If you want to say goodbye to the ranks of affiliate underachievers, learn to love the numbers like the super-affiliates do.
#8 - Super-affiliates know when to go for volume over commission.
Here's a very well-kept secret of some super-affiliates: you can earn a fantastic income from cheap untargeted traffic. Believe it or not, not every super-affiliate is brilliant at creating content or opt-in marketing. Some just concentrate on traffic -- more and bigger traffic -- and make money off of sheer volume sales and contextual advertising.
Here's the basic formula, oversimplified of course: Let's say that on a given web site you get 1000 unique visitors per day, or 30,000 visitors per month. If your average monthly profit from that site is $1500, then each visitor is worth 5 cents ($1500 divided by 30,000 visitors).
So in this example, if you spend 5 cents to attract a visitor, all you can do is break even. But if you can spend a lot less to get a visitor -- say only 2 cents -- you've got the potential to make some terrific profits on cheap traffic! Sure, it's not going to be tightly niched traffic. But it's also the kind of traffic that fits well with products that have mass-market mass-appeal, or even commodity products.
#9 - Super-affiliates work a plan.
Successful affiliates have a simple business model: they replicate their success. Once they find something that works, they tweak it slightly, test, evaluate, and repeat. Some of the most profitable affiliate empires follow this simple, repetitive pattern. Consistent effort tends to yield consistent results, especially online, where certain types of marketing (like SEO) take time.
