Many have asked me this very question: "Why do some affiliates make less than $200 per month while the top affiliates go on to make as much as $3,000-$30,000 per month?"
It looks cheap and marks you as a "newbie" when you post a long affiliate link in your ads. With domain names as inexpensive as they are now you can purchase your own domain name. You can then either forward your URL to your affiliate link or set yourself up with some free hosting and establish more of a web presence. Your best bet is to write a benefit-full description of your affiliate program and link to your program via an HTML link that is part of your description.
So successful has his been in recruiting affiliates that Russell Brunson, along with affiliate manager Stu McLaren, has developed an affiliate training program for managers. Both men believe there was a shortage of experienced managers and yet they were the most important element in an effective affiliate marketing program.
Here is a broad look at the most important three elements to be an effective manager:
It is important that managers draw in the best sales people to sell the products. The number of affiliates is irrelevant if they don't sell the products each month. Stu collects up to 2500-3000 websites that could be interested in selling the product, and then he looks at which ones collect a large amount of quality traffic. This can be time consuming, but it forms the bases of an effective marketing plan. In the end there may be 150 to 200 sites that could be quality affiliates.
There are many ways to build traffic: write articles, post in forums, market in safelists, advertise offline, etc. My advice is to pick one traffic-building method, work on it for awhile, and master it before moving on to something else. If you focus on offline advertising, write and rewrite your ads until you determine how to get the best response. If you market on safelists, make a list of the top 50, and send your ad to 10 each day. Keep testing to make sure your safelists are responsive.
