Affiliate Programs - What are the Secrets of an Affiliate Program Super Star?

In this competitive internet marketing industry, did you know that there are affiliates who effortlessly earn a six figure income each and every month without fail from a single program, or from many different affiliate programs?

So, what the secrets of these super affiliates who naturally have some secrets that they used to enable them to get to that successful position. Meaning that if an affiliate was to carefully study what an online successful affiliate usually does and then apply it to their own affiliate program, chances are that they will see magnificient results in their home business or affiliate business and a great income.

1) One of the things that a super affiliate will NOT do is to commit themselves to promoting any affiliate program without fully testing it first. What does testing involve and why is it so important?

The most important aspect of testing is to establish what kind of conversion rate the successful affiliate can manage. In other words. it is of utmost importance to find out how much targeted traffic you need to send to your affiliate program site to yield a single sale.

With this kind of information, the affiliate will be able to establish how much money can be made from the program with the kind of traffic that they are capable of generating to their affiliate site.

As you see, a successful affiliate's time is way too valuable for them to waste working on some new affiliate program on speculation only to discover after a couple of weeks that it is a dud. This should also be a useful tip for an online entrepreneur who is just starting out. In fact many new affiliates fail because they choose the wrong inappropriate affiliate programs.

The way to test an affiliate program is to carefully track your visitors as you drive all your traffic to the affiliate site until you are able to make at least two sales. You should then do a good review to see how many visitors on average it takes you to make a single sale. That is your conversion rate statistic which is extremely invaluable to any affiliate marketer.

2) The other secret that separates affiliate program super stars from other ordinary affiliates is an ability to generate high traffic. This can either be through the use of keyword-rich articles and ppc (pay per click) paid advertisements.

Whatever method or strategies the super affiliate uses, they will usually already be experts at it and are therefore able to generate huge volumes of traffic. This traffic has to be highly targeted to have a great conversion rate and thereby yield the desired results.
