And the Super Affiliate is you! If, you follow through the lesson I’m about to lay down in this section of course. So, what exactly is this ‘Super Affiliate’? No, it doesn’t involve in getting bitten by a radioactive affiliate or become one with the Force through extreme training.
It’s a next-level affiliate who earn his highest earnings!
Fact is, no affiliates will earn the same amount of commission and payout. The exact number of sales of a product is unpredictable, which means the exact commissions earned by all affiliates will differ. That’s for sure.
I also cannot guarantee you success. That is up to you. On your end, you need to give your 100%. You need to be positive and efficient. Attitude will be your drive to success.
You must be thinking, “Oh great, he is going to go ‘Yoda’ on us like: to always believe in the Force or the Force won’t come to your aid”. I get it, what you want is the real methods to implement right now. Yes, I get all that. But the truth is, the way you think about affiliate marketing now affects whether or not you will succeed.
Let us do a brief recap for a moment. Think about why you’re reading this article in the first place. I strongly believe it’s because you want to earn that extra, desired commission you always wanted.
You did not say to yourself “It’s so hard to increase my commission” or “I think I should just keep earning normal commission. I still earn something anyway”
You are here because you know, your mind did not allow you to think like that.
This caused a certain ‘Force’ in the very depths of your mind to become problem solvers. Especially surrounding issues that would have normally been ‘too hard’ to be dealt with for regular affiliates.
See, Master Yoda is right all along.
The ‘C.R.A.F.T.’ Strategy
To be the desirable Super Affiliate every prospects and subscribers go to, I personally suggest you implement the C.R.A.F.T strategy. This is the Force that you need to maintain when affiliating! It helps me earn the extra commission, and I have no doubt it will do the same to you.
The “C” in the ‘C.R.A.F.T.’ Strategy represents Consistency. We all heard of the famous story about the rabbit and the tortoise race. The tortoise successfully wins the race because of its Consistency. By now, you should know that a successful online business does not happen overnight; it is a process of progress. So, how and what can you do to be consistent?
When you are an affiliate, it is a given to always be consistent in your technique. But personally, I would say to keep your consistency ‘in the know’ of what’s happening in the market.
For instance, if someone found a way to make synthetic rubber, doesn’t that mean that the stock price of rubber industries will drop? You must check the marketplace to know which product, what kind of bonuses, or so, has the potential to increase your commission, consistently.
Personally, I would advise you to look it up on JVZoo.com. Head to their marketplace and identify the top grossing product there is. I will share with you the strategy for this particular lesson in future posts..
The “R” in the ‘C.R.A.F.T. Strategy represents Risk Taker. You want that extra commission, don’t you? Then keep this in mind: you must be comfortable of being uncomfortable. Remember, conviction and comfort cannot stay in the same room. Being convicted to your goal means getting out of your comfort zone.
So, get to know the current online market. Is the list of pros greater than the cons? Will this reach your target audience? Should I add this kind of bonus to this product? Should I even promote things that are not rewarding, but according to my niche? We all been there.
We know sometimes the greater the risk, the greater its reward. Especially when the product you are promoting is not within your comfort zone, but the reward plan is exclusively high.
It is completely opposite from the niche of your capabilities and criteria. Yet, you are doing it anyway, why? Because deep down you know it leads to a greater commission, and if you don’t push yourself from the start, you will shy away from challenges in the future.
The “A” in the‘C.R.A.F.T.’ Strategy represents Action. There is no point in planning if there isn’t any execution. Let’s be frank. With all the planning in your head, are you getting anywhere?
Ask yourself, are you a doer or a thinker? Taking action is, and will always be scary to you. Especially when you have to take responsibility of your own actions. As an affiliate, it is your responsibility to make the sales for your vendor.
If you don’t start somewhere, will you be getting the extra commission? If you don’t put up those killer bonuses, do you think it will be beneficial to your prospect and subscribers in the long run?
If you don’t allow yourself to take that action you should be taking, you will end up empty handed. So, don’t wait to act, regardless of your circumstance or situation. This here, is the starting line of doubling or even tripling you rcommission!
The “F” in the ‘C.R.A.F.T.’ Strategy represents Follow-up. The basic and nonetheless, critical mindset you need to always remember. I think you would agree that following-up to your list is important for you to earn the extra commission.
By now, all of us have our own ‘how-to’ when we are talking about following-up to our list. Thing is, we tend to be overwhelmed by the amount of list we are tracking.
So, sign up for any autoresponder software available out there. For instance GetResponse.com. They provide automation services and editable mail layout for you. I know, setting up periodic email to your prospects and subscribers are tiring sometimes.
However, the key is to be consistent. If you don’t do it, you don’t earn. If you do, you will earn those extra commission you always wanted!
The “T” in the ‘I C.R.A.F.T. Strategy represents Time Management. Spend at least once a week to study the current product in the marketplace and find out the reason why a particular product is increasing or decreasing in demand.
This will allow you to train your observation and analytical skills. With these skills, you will be able to promote the right product and have a higher commission in return.
I learned it the hard way. So, don’t wait for that perfect product to come knocking. Because when you do, you will experience a lingering bitter loss over the product you should have been promoting. Instead, you put it in your reject list because its’ not the ‘best’ for you.
New products are released every day! If you don’t believe me, head to JVZoo’s Product Library and towards the ‘Latest Launch’ tab. Just look at all the new products waiting for you to promote! See, if you don’t do a timely visit to this place, look at all the opportunities slipping right in front of you.
