Super Affiliates are so good at selling other people’s products that product
creators compete just to get a Super Affiliate to promote their products.
They’ll offer her special bonuses, exclusive JV partnership opportunities, and
maybe even give her higher commissions than everyone else. Understandably so,
considering that she could easily pull 500-1000 sales on just the initial product
announcement.
Not surprisingly, very few marketers qualify - becoming a Super Affiliate is no
easy task. But if you’re up to it, the rewards are well worth the effort:
• Special gifts,
• Exclusive JV offers,
• Higher commissions,
• And invaluable business relationships, just to name a few.
Interestingly, Super Affiliates don’t need any particular technical skill. However,
they do need to become an Industry Leader with unwavering persistence, a
willingness to network with others, and the wisdom to outsource when it's
prudent to do so.
That may sound trite, but it is not. If you plan on becoming a Super Affiliate, you
must a keen mindset for administrative work (and the delegating of duties and
responsibilities thereof).
In other words, if you want to consistently enjoy 5 figures a month as a Super
Affiliate, you simply aren't going to do it alone. You'll need a real team to help
create your Traffic Funnels, and you'll need to work well with your team.

Four Super Affiliate Power Strategies
Power Strategy #1: The Prospect Pre-Sell Strategy
As an aspiring Super Affiliate in training. you'll quickly discover that your
prospects are often quite resistant to Mega Launches due to getting pounded
with several similar pitches from multiple lists simultaneously.
What's more, is that until you've built up some serious rapport over time, you're
subscribers will typically view you as yet another huckster going for the quick
buck. So how can you avoid this? You can start by “priming the pump” very early
in a subtle manner.
• Step 1: Email your list members as far ahead of time as possible, and let
them know not to buy the product until after you get the chance to
honestly review it as the end user. While that certainly doesn’t seem like a sales pitch, it stealthily sets you up for one.
• Step 2: Once you've actually purchased your copy, you'll then send them a
broadcast email letting them know you're in the process of going through
it, and to stay tuned for the juicy details (or similar).
• Step 3: After you've made the time to thoroughly digest it, then create a
brutally honest Pro's / Con's review of it on your blog. Naturally, this
should also include why you sincerely believe it will help solve one or more
problems for your subscribers.
• Step 4: Then send them a broadcast email letting them know you've
posted your review.
Hot Tip: To make this work like total gangbusters, send out no more than three
broadcast emails within a week spaced at least two days apart. Also be sure to
include a valuable “thank you for reading” gift link (in each P.S) as you deftly
deploy the following Unique Bonus Strategy...
Power Strategy #2: The Unique Bonus Strategy
When climbing the Super Affiliate ranks, you’re literally selling the exact same
product as everyone else. As such, you must set yourself apart from all the other
Affiliate Marketers. Bluntly, you have to provide the best bonuses for those
who purchase through your link.
For example, creating a valuable (physical) CD-Rom that helps solve problems
within your niche will massively set you apart from your competition. Industry
Leader, Kunaki.com makes print-on-demand CD-Roms a breeze. What's more, is
that their prices are quite reasonable ($5.40, at the time of this writing, and even
includes shipping anywhere in the world).
The media is the highest grade in the industry, and they're PayPal-friendly, as
well. A nice bonus like this does require a bit of forethought... but it will be so
completely different from anything else people used to seeing.
Power Strategy #3: Web Marketing Secret Agent Strategy discovering their revealed preferences.
In other words, aside from the product pitch hoopla (which can still be useful
info for gathering intel)... when a particular marketing strategy works well,
they will keep using it (or a refinement thereof).
These are the types of pattens to keep an eye out for. Carefully study each of
their email sends, blog posts, squeeze pages, sales pages, bonus offers, and any
other pertinent web links. Observe what they're doing similarly, as well as what
they're doing differently.
For example, do they pre-sell products (and how)? Or do they avoid pre-sales and
then talk about the product several days after the launch? Which ones actually
engage their readers, and which ones are merely hard-pitching. Are their email
swipes intriguing? What type of bonus package are they offering?
You can glean a wealth of valuable insights from each simply by changing your
point of view.
Power Strategy #4: The Long-Game Strategy
Without exception, Super Affiliates almost always have access to a very large,
captive audience. Rather than scraping to find customers whenever a new
product goes live... they build lists, create forums, and cultivate captive
audiences non-stop.
Conversely, less successful Affiliate Marketers often use some variation of “spray
and pray” marketing. They’ll throw together a promotional website for some new
launch and drive traffic to it using pay per click search engine advertisements,
solo ads, etc... often times, without even attempting to capture their leads first.
Occasionally, they get lucky with the right offer at the right time. However, they
nearly always go broke in the long run; hence why the online marketing failure
rate is so high (between 90-95%, depending what statistic you go by).
To make things even more challenging for the novice Affiliate Marketer: Almost
without exception, people will purchase a Mega Launch product from a Marketer
they're already comfortable with.
So if you're serious about becoming a Super Affiliate, then become the Voice
that's listened to. One highly efficient way to accomplish this, is to deploy a time-
proven (modular) Traffic Funnel approach that will consistently attract
subscribers and sales on autopilot.
Many big-name Internet Marketers also just happen to be Super Affiliates, and
their actions speak louder than their words. Use this to your extreme advantage.
Rather than viewing their correspondence through the eyes of a typical end
consumer... enter into Web Marketing Secret Agent mode and secretly study
Super Affiliates.
Start focusing less on what they say and more on what they do; whereby secretly
