Obviously you wouldn’t be doing affiliate marketing if you didn’t want to succeed at it. Competing with other affiliates and reaching affiliate marketing stardom takes a lot of work, and few people reach the status of super-affiliate simply because they don’t know or understand what it takes. Here are some tips to get you headed in that direction.

1. Build an opt-in list and build a relationship with that list. You should send one email daily or at least weekly to your list. Give your list members tips or information that is valuable to them, and promote an affiliate product or service that is related to the topic of the email.
2. Write and submit articles on a regular basis. Not only will this increase sales and signups for your opt-in list, but it will also help to build your online reputation and credibility.
3. Be completely honest in all of your business dealings. If a customer complains to you, follow up with the merchant, even though it is not your legal responsibility to do so. You won’t get ahead by cheating people.
4. Never recommend or promote products that you have not tried yourself and don’t fully believe in. When you make a recommendation, it is your reputation on the line. If you are picky about what you promote, your recommendations will become more powerful.
5. You have to prove yourself. Don’t expect to start out as a super affiliate. When you can produce a high volume of sales consistently, then you are in a position to be called a super affiliate and seek higher commissions and joint venture deals.
6. Take advantage of all that the merchant has to offer in terms of promotional materials and training – but create your own stuff if this is allowed. Set yourself and your affiliate marketing materials apart from that of other affiliates.
7. Offer what other affiliates don’t offer. For example, you can get numerous private label rights products and offer them as free bonuses for people who purchase through your link. Just tell them to send you their receipt after they purchase in order to receive their bonuses.

While these 7 Tips For Super-Affiliate Stardom aren’t the be-all and end-all of affiliate marketing by any means, they’ll certainly get you started on the road to affiliate marketing superstardom, and help to move you ahead of all the other Super-Affiliate wannabes out there - and that’s a good thing!
