Why are those top affiliates able to easily make so much money just by recommending and selling other people's products?
What did they do to be so different from the rest of the 96% of the affiliates out there who are making little or no money at all?
The key to making those huge affiliate sales really lies on what you portray to your visitors and what you can give to your visitors.
But before that, let's deal with getting lots of targeted traffic to your website so that you could build a huge mailing list to mine your income from.
There are a number of different ways to increase your targeted traffic and in this article; I will touch on 4 different effective methods.
Sure-Fire Way #1 - Ezine articles
Writing articles is a very good strategy of a free advertising establishing you as an expert in the field. When people read your article which provided them with good quality information, they will tend to follow and click on your link to learn more about how you help them.
In this way, your credibility is quickly established and you will soon be recognized as an expert in your field. Being an expert in a field will automatically attract hundreds or even thousands of visitors who will be looking for a solution on your website.
Your articles can also act as a one way link giving you a steady stream of traffic to your website permanently as long as it is being published.
If you need more articles or information on how to write quality articles, you can go to these websites:

Sure-Fire Way #2 - Reciprocal Links
This free method is another great way to guarantee your website in getting a steady stream of highly targeted traffic. But in order to get highly targeted traffic, you will need to exchange links with websites that can both complement and compete with yours.
Not only that, they need to have a stream of huge targeted traffic so that you can tap into that vast wealth of the traffic using your link.
All you need to do is just to type in your keywords that describe what you are offering in any search engines and search through the results and finding those sites. After that, you will need to send them a personalized email requesting an exchange of links. Most will be happy to exchange links with you. Sometimes, you will need to include a few incentives in the offer.
Therefore, you will have many good quality websites providing you with a small amount of targeted traffic that will amount to a huge permanent source of highly targeted traffic to your website.
Sure-Fire Way #3 - Search Engine Optimization
You may want to optimize your website content so that the major search engines can easily spider your sites and rank them accordingly.
You need to maintain a good number of specific keywords targeted to your market on your website. This has to be done in a way such that the search engines spiders love the keywords and your visitors love your content.
This way, you not only attract visitors but also spiders from many search engines that will be happy to index your site. If you need help in creating theme-based content site pages that are full of keywords filled content, you can get this free ebook that will teach you how to create them.

Or if you want any good quality search engine optimization service, what I recommend is 1st Search Ranking at http://www.acemarketingbiz.com/links/1stsearchranking/
Both of these resources will definitely be able to help you in greatly improve your site's ranking.
Sure-Fire Way #4 - Pay-Per-Click Search Engines
This method is the most direct and effective in getting the type of traffic you want. This is because you can specify the kind of keywords your target audience will key in to search for what you offer.
If you are selling golf clubs, all you have to do is just to bid on keywords such as "golf clubs", "golf equipment", "golf" etc. You can specify the amount of money spent for every visitor who clicks on your link, so you can immediately calculate the total cost and the rate of return before you make a sale if you know your sales conversion rate.
In a way, you will have complete control over your advertising budget. A good big name pay-per-click search engine is Overture at http://www.overture.com but there is also another good quality pay-per-click search engine that charge a flat rate bid at http://www.acemarketingbiz.com/links/1stsearchranking/ppc.html
Ultimate Sure-Fire Way #5 ? Building Your List and Pre-selling Affiliate Products
With all these traffic building and driving methods in place, you can get a substantial amount of traffic to your website. Now, in order to build a huge mailing list, you will have to create your own freebie or bundle one up as a package.
It can be in the form of a course, ebook, software or audio etc. this freebie has to offer not only good but absolutely incredible information to immediately entice and encourage your visitors to join your mailing list in order to get your freebie.
Once you have people in your mailing list, continue to offer them quality information, you can get readily available articles at ezines sites such as:
http://www.bizsitebiz.com
http://www.ezinearticles.com
http://www.ideasmarketers.com
This is absolutely essential in continuing to build credibility and reputation for you. Once you have established a trust between your subscribers and you, you as an expert can easily make a few thousand dollars by personally recommending a few quality affiliate products that can help them solve their problems.
All you need to do is to send them an endorsement email stating the benefits you have gotten from the product and tell them they also can get those benefits by using the products and then direct them to your affiliate link.
Do not sell them; just create the urgency and the excitement to find out more about what and how the product you recommend can help them.
The key is to pre-sell them and lead them to the affiliate sales page with an open mind.
So all in all, you just drive highly targeted traffic to those quality affiliate sites which need your traffic and with your established credibility and reputation, you can easily make a couple of thousands with just one personal endorsement mailing.
Thus, this is the ultimate key to making the most affiliate sales and income for you.
