Many affiliates are not making any money with the programs they promote
because they are simply making a lot of mistakes, which prevent them from
bringing their affiliate marketing business to the next level.
The right affiliate strategy can help you make your first sale in one
week, or more. It will depend on how much effort you put into the battle.
Follow these seven days to affiliate marketing profit and you should do
well, and see your first affiliate sale very soon. When I saw that blueprint
for the first time, I was skeptical; but when I saw commissions in my affiliate
account, I knew that the process was working perfectly.
The problem is not in the process but with the affiliate marketer who
didn't set a clear goal with a plan and didn't take action to achieve the
success that many other super affiliates are enjoying.
So here is the plan that you must follow if you want to make your first
commission in affiliate marketing...next week:
Day 1: Find a profitable market
Finding a profitable market is where most affiliates fail and then give
up. It's not their fault, but nobody takes the time to explain that.
When you are starting, it is better to start with a huge market that is
already profitable, like golf, weight loss, finance, self-help, beauty, sports,
fitness...
Start by researching what those people want, what they are searching for
on the Internet. For that, you will need a keyword research tool like
Goodkeywords.com or Yahoo search marketing tool.

Before finding the product, try to identify the needs of your targeted
market. Your chosen product must be excellent; and you want to have a good
commission that will reward you, motivate you and cover your affiliate campaign
costs. You can start with clickbank.com or cj.com.
You must verify the sales page to see if it will convert your visitors
into sales.
Day 3: Know and understand your product
Know that the goal of the affiliate is to pre-sell and not to sell. The
merchant must sell his product, not you.
You should pre-sell (capture and warm up) your product to your
subscriber. For that, you need to know the benefits of the product for your
subscribers, and the best way to do that is to own the product.
Day 4: Prepare your advertising plan
Prepare your material: ads, articles, where you will advertise this
affiliate program: Start with articles and pay-per-click traffic via Google
Adwords.
Day 5: Prepare yourself to capture your prospects
You must not send your visitor to the merchant page, but you must
capture his name and email address first, to secure your future affiliate
commissions.
Day 6: Write your killer follow-up material
After capturing his email address, the pre-written message in your
autoresponder will do the work for you and close the sale.Day 7: Drive tons of traffic to your lead capture page
When everything is ready, start to advertise your affiliate program.
Actually, you will show your lead capture (also called opt-in or squeeze page)
page to the world, and take your future buyer's email address. One of the most
effective ways to advertise it is to write articles.
Remember: the affiliate marketing process works, and it is perfect. But
it will not work without you. So take action, and when you start to see your
affiliate commissions, you will know that it is working; and you will be able
to master the affiliate marketing game and become a super affiliate.
