It is possible to make more money on the internet than you could ever imagine and one of the best ways to do this is through affiliate marketing. Affiliates can earn serious cash by promoting other people’s products and services. They don’t have the headache of creating and developing products, dealing with merchant systems, or customer support. They merely drive traffic. The top earning affiliates are called Super Affiliates. These individuals make a full-time income as affiliates.
I would like to start off with a few questions: What are you passionate about? What is it that gets you up in the morning? What is it that drives you? What kind of life do you want for yourself and your family?
I wanted to ask you these questions because if I was to ask any Super Affiliate I know what they would say. These guys and gals eat, sleep and breathe internet marketing. They absolutely love the freedom that it allows for them and their families. They are driven and focused on what they want and they go out and get it.
In this article I listed some areas in which Super Affiliates really are “Super.” They weren’t great overnight, but through hard work and perseverance they have achieved success in their field. The areas that I am going to focus on are lifestyle, work habits, focus, listbuilding, and a love of the game.
Heck in August I saw some of this lifestyle first hand. We hosted a mastermind event at a private residence in Boulder City Nevada. This Amazing pirate themed property is appropriately named “Pirate’s Cove” and consists of 20 private suites with a racquetball court, fitness center, and large movie screens. It also boasts three indoor kitchens and one outdoor kitchen. It has a large waterslide that empties into a deep pool with a Tarzan swing and a tall ship mast that allows the brave guests to jump from multiple heights. Pirate’s Cove also has a smaller children’s slide that empties into a pool complete with a beach, misters and grassy area for kids to play. Ya, amazing.
Can I just tell you that this place was awesome!! Oh and I forgot to mention a separate pool that allows for swimming, water basketball and more… Nearby it has a commercial grill for outdoor cooking, slush machine and soft ice cream machine. My words cannot even do this place justice.
Why am I telling you about this? Because even though I was busy helping – there was plenty of time in the evening for me to relax and play in the water with my wife and small kids. This place was magical and made you feel like a kid again. You know when you were free to just play and have fun. That feeling is awesome, and when I hear about Super Affiliates who travel when they want, and drive nice cars – they have found that same freedom. This is the lifestyle that they describe – freedom. They don’t have to punch a time clock, or stress about getting the next work assignment finished. Now that is a lifestyle that I would love.
I look at Russell – he is absolutely one of the most focused hardworking people I have ever met. He knows what he wants, then goes after it. He works hard because he loves what he does first, and then loves what this business affords him and his family. Heck, they had the opportunity to fly out to Fiji for one week as a family. Did I mention that Russell and his wife have three kids all under the age of four? Even when Russell was away with his family enjoying a beautiful island (I have seen some pictures…) he was still making money. Super affiliates make money when they sleep. How cool to wake up in the morning and log onto the internet and see that you made money while you slept, or were on vacation with your family.
Many of the Super Affiliates that I know all have fun hobbies. Some wrestle , surf, sky dive, and travel. It is important to not only work hard, but play hard. When they are wrestling they are wrestling, and when they are working they are working. They are focused on the current project, and work hard. In order to become successful in affiliate marketing, you are going to need to have this same focus.
You can start building a nice sized list today by signing up for an autoresponder service such as aweber, icontact, or using 1shoppingcart. These services will create an HTML code that you paste onto your blog or website. When someone enters the requested information (usually first name and e-mail address) they join your list. You can have pre-loaded e-mails that will start going out to them via your autoresponder. This service will also allow you to broadcast e-mails whenever you would like.
Your love for affiliate marketing will help you overcome those difficulties and push you to achieve the successes that can come.
It is fun to see the power that Super Affiliates have. They can literally make thousands and thousands of dollars each and every month. I have seen some nice sized checks payable to Russell, and we too have paid out nice sized commission checks to Super Affiliates. I hope that you will decide to start working towards becoming a Super Affiliate. Affiliate marketing can and will change your life.

Lifestyle
Ralph Waldo Emerson said it best when he said: “It is not length of life, but depth of life.” We hear stories all the time about the Internet Marketing Lifestyle. Every sales letter you read seems to paint an amazing picture of absolute freedom and enjoyment.Heck in August I saw some of this lifestyle first hand.

Work Habits
Super affiliates are regular people just like me and you. They don’t have super powers that allow them to make a ton of money promoting products. They get up and have to get dressed the same way we do – but they are laser focused on what they want, and then work to achieve it. They know how to work hard, and then play hard. If you were to ask super affiliates if they were always making big money they would say no. They all started off not making any money, but worked hard.I look at Russell – he is absolutely one of the most focused hardworking people I have ever met. He knows what he wants, then goes after it.

Absolute Focus
When you talk and interact with Super Affiliates you will notice that they have an absolute focus on what they are doing. They know what is happening in the industry and are up on the latest and greatest ways to promote products. They are also building relationships with others in the industry. They know that there is more than enough money to go around.Many of the Super Affiliates that I know all have fun hobbies. Some wrestle , surf, sky dive, and travel.

In order to become successful in affiliate marketing, you are going to need to have this same focus.
Listbuilding
This is hands down one of the best ways to guarantee your success as a Super Affiliate. All the super affiliates I know have decent size e-mail lists. When I say a decent list I am talking usually greater than 10,000. There are exceptions to this depending on the responsiveness of the list. Some Super affiliates I know have lists greater than 500,000. Life is pretty easy when you can just open up your autoresponder and send out a promotional offer to 500,000 people.You can start building a nice sized list today by signing up for an autoresponder service such as aweber, icontact, or using 1shoppingcart.

A Love of the Game
It really is important that you love what you are doing. Are there ups and downs with affiliate marketing? YES. But there are ups and downs with everything in life. The trick is to have more ups than downs. When you have a bad day and can’t seem to generate any traffic and sales, it can get discouraging. Or when you invest money and time into something and you don’t get the result that you were hoping for, it can be hard.Your love for affiliate marketing will help you overcome those difficulties and push you to achieve the successes that can come.
It is fun to see the power that Super Affiliates have. They can literally make thousands and thousands of dollars each and every month. I have seen some nice sized checks payable to Russell, and we too have paid out nice sized commission checks to Super Affiliates. I hope that you will decide to start working towards becoming a Super Affiliate. Affiliate marketing can and will change your life.
