What is the easiest way to make money on the internet? According to many super affiliate gurus, the answer is affiliate marketing.

The term affiliate simply means someone who is selling the product of another person. So, how do affiliate marketers earn money? Well, they are paid a commission on every sale that they make. Basically, they take advantage of the quality and branding of an already successful product in order to put money into their own pocket.

It is a win win situation, for both the partner and the merchant. Product creators get huge publicity and exposure for their products without having to spend money on advertising (which is the responsibility of the affiliates), and affiliates can earn an extra income without having to think of and create a new product.

An even better opportunity for affiliates, and definitely something to watch out for, are two-tier affiliate programs, which allow you to earn commissions on not just your own sales, but also those sales made by members of your affiliate team. In this case you will be a master affiliate: the people that you recruited are selling the same merchant's products, but you will be able to coach them and you will also earn a commission on all their sales. That can represent a good monthly income for you too.

Do you want to become a super affiliate guru? There is three components in your way to win big paychecks at the end of the month:

1. You must have a landing page. 2. You must capture the name and email addresses of your prospects. 3. You must follow up with your autoresponder to sell other products again and again to your prospects.

Don't overlook the importance of capturing your visitors details - this is critical. The reason is that most people won't make a purchase from you the first time they have contact with you or your website. You first need to earn their trust and to do this you need to build a relationship with them through email.

An added bonus to doing this is that when you create your own product, you will already have a list of prospects ready to buy from you. All that you will need to do is send an email to your list, and if you have already established a relation based on trust with them, by providing only useful information and products, they will accept whatever you have to offer.

This is a tried and test approach that super affiliate gurus swear by. It really is as simple as following the 3 point plan set out above. Follow that plan and you too can soon be earning the type of money that other affiliates are already earning on a daily basis.
