              | How To Make Real Money from Affiliate Programs 
 It is an often quoted statistic that about
 90% of affiliates make no money from affiliate
 programs.
 
 The top 10% of affiliates make all the money.
 Some of these are super affiliates who make
 very large sums of money indeed.
 
 What is the reason for the big difference
 between those who succeed and those who fail?
 
 The following rules should be followed when
 choosing affilite programs:
 
 1) Only promote products/sevices in a niche
 that is in demand and profitable.
 
 2) Join programs where you earn at least 20%
 commissions on sales.
 
 3) Only promote products that tie in with the
 theme of your web site. Unrelated products
 make a site look bad and sell poorly.
 
 4) Concentrate on promoting programs that pay
 recurring or lifetime commissions. In other
 words, make a sale once and get paid
 indefinitely for any repeat sales to the
 same customer.
 
 This is the big secret of the super affiliates.
 They put most of their efforts into promoting
 residual/lifetime affiliate programs.
 Gradually, like compound interest their profits
 mount up.
 
 If you are not in a residual affiliate program
 and you get paid only once per sale, you will
 never get rich. You are wasting your time
 chasing one sale per customer and getting only
 one commission. Whereas the big affiliate
 earners put their effort into recruiting
 customers who will give them lifetime commissions
 on all the sales they make at any time in
 the future.
