Are you looking for the "secret" to becoming a super- affiliate? While there isn't one particular secret to increasing your affiliate commission, here are ten easy ways to start making more money through affiliate programs as soon as possible.

1. Capture e-mail addresses before sending your visitor to the merchant website.

2. Write a review article about the product you are promoting. Make sure it's honest and that you talk about a few of the weak points of the product. This will help lower the visitor's defenses, and increase your clickthrough rate.

3. Promote products that offer recurring or residual commission, such as autoresponders, web hosting packages and membership sites.

4. Give away free viral PDF's tagged with your affiliate links.

5. Join two-tier affiliate programs and create an affiliate program directory of the the ten best two-tier affiliate programs. Optimize this page with the keywords "multi-tier affiliate programs", "two-tier" affiliate programs, and so on.

6. Create a unique but simple marketing formula that can be condensed into a 10-20 page free PDF. Tag the PDF with affiliate links to the products necessary for succeeding with the formula.

7. Start your own affiliate marketing newsletter that keeps affiliates up to speed on the best multi-tier affiliate programs. Imagine if you had a list of 5,000 people, and each of these people were your sub-affiliates for three to five of the best affiliate programs!

(A side benefit of this strategy is that some of your sub-affiliates will end up buying these products as well).

8. Write your own Internet marketing ebook tagged with five to ten affiliate links, and sell it for $25-30. Give people full resale rights!

9. Create your own affiliate marketing blog and add quality content often, that helps affiliates to succeed. When appropriate, sprinkle in affiliate links to quality merchant sites.

10. When running a Google Adwords ad, instead of sending someone straight to a merchant site from your landing page, capture their e-mail address. Entice them to join your mailing list by giving them a free PDF.

This PDF-you guessed it, will contain your affiliate links! Make it a viral PDF to make your affiliate marketing campaign even more profitable!

Start using these ten techniques today and send your affiliate marketing campaign into overdrive!
