I had a 2 an a half hour teleconference call with Ben Moskel, one of the most successful “affiliate marketers” around. I was glad to hear from Ben, it was an interesting and very informative teleconference. He had so much to share with us and he did not hold anything back from us. He shared several tips, strategies, and marketing ideas - it was a world of information. My pen could not keep up with all he was so easily sharing. Even I wondered if he should share so much of his tips and ideas with people who basically will turn out to be his competition. His response - the internet is a very large world and there is room for more…. And he included that he wasn’t giving away all his secrets.

In a straight forward attempt to show us on the teleconference that an affiliate can make $54,020 dollars a year - he broke it down to a simple formula. It takes 4 sales from an average affiliate program with a payout of $37 dollars per sale. 4 sales a day = $148 per day, $1,036 per week, $4,440 per month, and ultimately equals $54,020 per year. And he emphasized that it can be done because that’s how he does it with just one of his affiliate products.

Since I can’t share all of his tips, want to keep some to myself and don’t have the space to put it all down here on this page - I will break it down to his 3 top tips. So lets begin.

Tips #1 -- It may sound cheesy and many have said it before, but: “you need quality content”. You’ve heard it said that content is King and while it sounds like old news - it is vital to your success.
People need and want relevant information [ content ]. When it comes to online buyers, they want to be informed, educated, and often reassured that they are getting the best service they need. Online visitors have many options to chose from and many are not impulse shoppers. Many of the best affiliate products need to be considered before your visitor will purchase. Take for instance a loan - they want to know rates, terms, company reliability and need to feel a sense of trust before they purchase.
Your content should provide Answers to your visitors. They should feel like they are getting something worth their wild and worth their trust. Answer their questions, build trust, and you will get more sales.
