So you want to be an affiliate marketer, huh?
Looking forward to those days of passive income promoting other people’s products?
Dreaming of making money in your sleep?
The vast majority of affiliate marketing wannabes flame out before they reach super star status.
It’s amazing that two people can set out with the same plan for affiliate marketing success and end up with such vastly different results.
Which category do you fall into? Take this quiz.
1.I believe that affiliate marketing is a short term way to make lots of fast cash.
A.True
B.False
If you answered A, you’re coming into this business with the wrong attitude. While it’s vastly easier and quicker to make money with this business compared to offline businesses, it’s not a path to overnight riches.
If you answered B, you understand that the real money is made in long term strategies like building a list and offering bonus products.
2.What do you need to become an affiliate marketing super star, besides a quality product to promote?
A.A website
B.A website and a collection of bonus products.
C.A website, a collection of bonus products and an autoresponder.
D.A website, a collection of bonus products, an autoresponder and your own product.
If you answered A or B, you’re part way there.
Those that answered C understand that building your own list is the key to long term success as an affiliate.
Those that answered D see the big picture – making money with your own product and earning on the backend with affiliate products is a strong business plan.
3.What are the best kinds of affiliate products?
A.Products that solve a problem for the niche.
B.Products that offer high commissions.
C.Products that offer recurring commissions.
D.All of the above.
D is the correct answer in this case. Of course, depending on your market you may not find a product that meets the criteria in option C, but if you can find a recurring commission product you should always give it preference over a onetime payment model.
It’s especially important that you find a product that solves a problem for the niche.
It will always do better and go further than a product that is based on incomplete niche research.
4.Building a list is for:
A.Selling more products.
B.Building trust with your audience and making quality recommendations.
C.I’m not sure…people just tell me to build a list.
If you answered A, you’re on the right track but B is a better answer. Many people hear that they should build a list and they aren’t really sure why.
List building is an important part of making money as an affiliate. You can build trust with your audience by sending them informative emails that help them solve their problems.
Mixing these in with promotional emails will get you a lot further than being all about sales all of the time.
