Firstly, a top affiliate earner focuses on programs that pay the highest commissions possible. It takes just as much time and effort to promote a product that pays $20 as it does to promote a product that pays $1000. Don’t cheapen your time. Promote larger paying offers for the same effort.

Secondly, high flyers spend a lot of time promoting products that pay recurring commissions. Why promote a product that pays you once when it could pay you $1000s every year? That makes perfect sense. Once again, it’s making the most of your time — by achieving more while doing less.

Work Smarter – Not Harder

Thirdly, newbies often promote products that have a high refund rate. Try and promote products that are respected in the marketplace and are great value for money.

Fourthly, don’t spend a fortune on pay per click marketing unless you can afford it and are very experienced. Paying for advertising will make you or break you. Don’t even dabble in it until you really know what you are doing.

Most importantly, keep learning at all times — and don’t give up. Too many people start internet marketing only to get burnt out in a very short space of time. The key is to stick to it, to keep learning at all times, and to be brave enough to try new things.

Don’t be afraid to find a mentor who is already successful who you can follow. You’ll be so glad you did.
