There are 7 strategies that you can use to easily gain an advantage over affiliates who do not use them. When you use these strategies, you can outshine your competitors easily and become a super affiliate in any niche market you desire. What you need to do is to read and apply, as simple as that. This article talks about the first 3 strategies. The remaining 4 strategies would be continued in part 2 of the article.

Affiliate Strategy #1 - Selecting Only High-Converting Affiliate Programs

Such affiliate programs are programs with a high ratio of visits to sales. For example, if a merchant gets 10 sales for every 100 people who visits the site, that is a 10% conversion rate. Let us say you spend $20 on a pay-per-click advertising campaign. You generate 6000 visitors to the merchant's website, and that merchant claims a conversion rate of 30%. If you earn say a measly $3 for each sale, you would be earning a total of $5400. For most of the time, products would be priced higher, and you would be earning more than $20 per sale. Imagine spending only $20 and getting back more than $5400. That is the returns you can get if you knew how to do it. I can personally guarantee there are programs with such high-payout and conversion rates out there.

Here are some things to look for:

1) Does the product target a specific market? Rather, is there a market demand for this product? If there is, how huge is the demand?

2) Find out how long the merchant has been in business. It would be better if he is in business for at least 6 months and above.

3) Ask yourself if you would want to buy from the merchant, does the salescopy compel you to buy from the merchant? Does the merchant provide enough product information? How useful is the product as stated?

Affiliate Strategy #2 - Ensuring You Have Effective Affiliate Promotion Tools

You might want to keep a lookout for merchants that provide affiliate promotion tools like a list of targeted keywords for their product, sales material like solo ads, pay-per-click ads, banner advertisements and product images. Good merchants provide these materials and make their affiliates' job easier and they pay attention to what generates the most sales. Some tools like link cloakers are needed as well. They shorten and "hide" your affiliate link. Very often, affiliates lose out on a lot of commissions because potential customers recognize such affiliate links, and then try to bypass them.

Affiliate Strategy #3 - You Need To Be Aggressive In Your Advertising And Your Promotions

This strategy holds the key to profit. You should not have the fear of going all out in your efforts to get your subscribers to buy from you. Sales are not made overnight, it will take multiple exposures to your message, before people will buy from you. One of the few reasons is people want to get to know more about your product. They would want to get to know more about "you" before they make a purchase. This will have to depend on how much credibility you have established with them by providing quality information and content to them.
