It's very possible to earn up to $500-$1,000 a day (or more) with affiliate marketing.

But there are a number of rules which every affiliate marketer must follow to achieve that level of success.

The most important of these rules is that traffic is the most important thing to your business. It is the lifeblood of your business; everything starts with traffic. Without sufficient traffic you will never be successful.

But, once you have traffic you must know what to do with it and how to make it work most effectively for you and your business.

Here are the traffic rules you must follow that will guide you to a successful affiliate marketing business.

#1 Don’t go for cheap traffic

Invest for results

Know the difference between price and cost

High quality traffic will ALWAYS produce better results

#2 Don’t ever waste a visitor

If you achieve a 30% opt in rate, 70% of your traffic is lost forever.

Retargeting is necessary, effective and will reduce your overall cost of acquiring a visitor.

#3 It’s not about the product, it’s about the offer.

1,000’s of affiliates are promoting the same offer; what makes you different? Why should they buy from you?

It will be only be because of the offer you create around the product

#4 Build your brand

Don’t be a “product centric” transactional affiliate. Create an “effortless selling” environment

Create your “hub” on the internet

#5 Build your product “ecosystem”

Create a menu of related products and turn one sale into 10-15 sales Have a value ladder of successively higher cost (value) products

#6 Play the long game

Connect with your prospects regularly and continue to provide content. Keep bringing your prospects back to your hub and build your brand daily
