In the affiliate marketing business, everyone wants to be a super affiliate, but it is not that simple.
You will get a lot of people who are telling you to use various techniques to get there but the truth is that most of those methods won't lead you towards becoming a super affiliate.
There are of course some effective methods out there but they will cost more and will cause you to exceed your advertising budget.
What you need to do is go beyond simply buying up ads.
You need to think creatively to get your name out there to as many people possible while spending as little as possible.
These days, it can work better for you if you create your own branding.
That means instead of adopting the brand of the company you are affiliated to, you get your own name out there.
What happens this way is that you get people to trust you and your name.
By making sure that it is your name that is out there, you get people to come to you for buying things rather than just looking around and randomly choosing someone else.
Creating your own brand requires you to have a detailed website that people keep on coming back to for the information.
And you can embed your links right into this information.
Now that is intelligent marketing.
Distributing free newsletters is another way you can do the same thing as mentioned above.
To do this, first you need to get a list of willing customers who want to receive free information through the newsletters.
After doing this you can simply park your newsletter service on an auto-responder and forget about it.
Of course, you will need to add new newsletters once in a while.
You can also send them free reports or a series of free reports, like some of the affiliates do.
In fact you can also send them free e-books that have strategically placed links in them.
Writing an e-book isn't much of a problem.
There is lot of free information on the Internet, just choose your topic and write.
You can also use your own ideas and experience and write out something new and helpful.
There is always the tried and tested AdSense and AdWords method of buying and placing ads.
You can also look around for less expensive and smaller ways to get your ads out there.
Like buying ads on a small website that has good traffic and has something to do with your products.
This can prove to be really useful.
By doing the advertising yourself, you will make sure that your campaign is far more targeted and precise.
Once you start getting sales from that one site you will be able to know which other sites you should probably look at.
Watching trends is the most important thing that any super affiliate does.
For example, if you see that e-books are hot this year, you should work on getting one to your clients.
If the next year brings PowerPoint presentations as the 'in' thing, make one as soon as possible.
Staying on top of the market trends is the fastest way to get success in affiliate marketing.
