In this article I would like to show you the most important steps that you need to succeed with affiliate marketing. I have learnt these by trial and error. Come to think about it I have made plenty of mistakes and you will too. It is just part of the learning process.

The first step is to choose a niche market. This is a highly focused market. The more focused it is the higher your profits will be.

The second step is that you need to choose high converting offers. I have made this mistake many times. I would send traffic to a web page and it would not convert. Usually 100 visitors will be enough to see if the sales page converts. My winners usually take about 20 to 30 visitors and I will make a sale.

You need to develop a squeeze page for your affiliate marketing offer. The reason is that if you send your traffic directly to a sales page with your affiliate link that will be the last time that you ever receive a visit again from that visitor. Track your subscription rates. Chances are you will be able to improve it by using different headlines and copy. I remember when I first started I was only getting a five percent subscription rate. I have gradually improved this to a significantly better number.

After the visitor has subscribed to your newsletter you need to present your one time offer or sales page. They are hot for your product at this stage so make the most of it. You will generate sales immediately this way.

Finally, you need to become an expert with email marketing. Most of your repeat sales will come from well written emails that will convert a subscriber into a paid customer.
