			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>To increase your online profits, you want to find as many of the &#8220;super,&#8221; or top-performing, affiliates as you can find.  However, without knowing where to look, finding a needle in a haystack may be easier.  Fortunately, there are some places online you can go to to increase your chances of finding and recruiting these top affiliates.</p>
<p>One place to find these super affiliates is to find newsletters, blogs, forums, and other such sites.  The owners of these sites are likely top-performing affiliates, as running such informative sites like newsletters and blogs show a level of dedication that goes above and beyond what most affiliates are either doing or willing to do.  In addition, running a newsletter, blog, or both can be a good way to promote products via free advertising, just by posting relevant information about that topic and then including a link to the product&#8217;s web page.</p>
<p>In addition, running a newsletter, blog, or forum can enable the owners of these sites to stay updated on the latest developments in the industry easily and for free.  That can give them a distinct advantage in knowing what products to promote and where to promote them, as well as having a reputation for running a specific site, which will likely encourage people to trust him/her and purchase the product offer he/she is recommending.</p>
<p>This is just one place to find super affiliates for your affiliate sales force.  To learn the other places where you can find super affiliates, as well as learn how exactly to get them to join your affiliate sales force, check out &#8220;<a style="text-decoration: none;" href="http://www.affiliateattractorfactor.com/managing-your-affiliates/index.php" target="_blank">Managing Your Affiliates</a>.&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>To achieve the level of profits that will make you financially independent and reliant on only your online income, it is virtually impossible for you yourself to sell the number of products it would take to reach those levels of profits.  Therefore, you need to have other people selling your product offers, or affiliates.</p>
<p>Like Internet marketers, there are different levels or qualities of affiliates.  Some are experienced affiliates who promote products of many top Internet marketers, while others are relatively inexperienced at promoting other people&#8217;s products, and are mostly promoting products of Internet marketers who are not as highly regarded as the top Internet marketers are.</p>
<p>Obviously, you&#8217;d like more affiliates from that former group than the latter.  The question is, how do you go about finding these high-ranking, experienced affiliate marketers so that they will join your affiliate sales force?  After all, if you can&#8217;t find these knowledgeable affiliate marketers, you&#8217;ll have to resort to going with other affiliate marketers who aren&#8217;t as skilled as the more experienced ones, and that will likely lead to fewer sales, and consequently, lower profits for you.</p>
<p>Fortunately, there are places online where you can find these experienced, well-performing affiliate marketers.  Via the search engines and ClickBank are just two of the places online where you can find these highly-regarded affiliate marketers.</p>
<p>To find out the other locations and to learn exactly how to recruit these affiliate marketers into your affiliate sales force, check out &#8220;<a href="http://www.affiliateattractorfactor.com/managing-your-affiliates/index.php" target="_blank">Managing Your Affiliates</a>.&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>To really succeed at making sizable profits online, you need to recruit as many quality affiliates as possible.  While having a larger number of affiliates is often considered to be a good thing, it&#8217;s really the quality of the affiliates, and specifically, their ability to pull in continuous sales for your products that you are really looking for in an affiliate.  Those are the kinds of affiliates you want to enlist into your affiliate force.</p>
<p>However, you need to realize that these types of affiliates are highly in demand by all the Internet marketers online, so to entice these kinds of quality affiliates to join your affiliate force, you need to offer them a compelling offer to join your affiliate ranks.  If you don&#8217;t offer them compelling reasons for joining your affiliate force, they will move on to the next Internet marketer requesting them to join his/her affiliate ranks.</p>
<p>Therefore, to really entice them into joining your affiliate force, you need to present them with a quality offer that includes worthwhile benefits.  This includes writing a proposal via email that they can read and consider.  The question is, do you know what to say to them in your proposal?  Structuring it in a proper fashion can increase your chances of getting a &#8220;Yes, they&#8217;ll join you in your marketing efforts&#8221; answer.  Writing a haphazard proposal to a well-established affiliate will very likely decrease your chances of including him/her in your affiliate sales force.</p>
<p>To learn more about how to structure your proposal to them so that you have a greater chance of including them in your affiliate sales force, consult &#8220;<a href="http://www.affiliateattractorfactor.com/managing-your-affiliates/index.php" target="_blank">Managing Your Affiliates</a>.&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The key for many Internet marketers to make large online profits is to employ a large number of affiliates.  Often, these successful Internet marketers will have “super affiliates,” or experienced affiliates who are very knowledgeable in promoting other people’s products, resulting in high conversion rates, and thereby, large profits, for both themselves and the product owners.</p>
<p>Therefore, a major key in increasing your online profits is to gain more affiliates, and specifically, more super affiliates.  First, though, you have to find those super affiliates.  That can be a challenge for those not well-versed in Internet marketing.</p>
<p>One way you can find super affiliates is to find blogs or contests that deal with joint ventures (JVs) and/or affiliates.  You can do this by searching via Google and other search engines to find these specific sites.</p>
<p>Other related ways you can find super affiliates include joining related affiliate programs so you can get an inside look at the affiliate contests and leaderboards and determine who are the top-ranking affiliates who are at or near the top of virtually every affiliate contest that is held.  This way, you can learn who they are and how to contact them so that you can enlist their help in promoting your products.</p>
<p>Another related way to find super affiliates is to look specifically for “JV blogs” in your favorite search engine.  This will often lead to uncovering “private” blogs that will list affiliate leaderboards, and again, where you can find which affiliates consistently perform very well from affiliate contest to affiliate contest and determine how to contact them so that you can enlist their help in promoting your products.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A major key for many Internet marketers to make large online profits today is to have large numbers of dedicated affiliates promoting their products, and specifically, to have dedicated super affiliates promoting their products.  This way, their product offers are being circulated online to people who have little to no connection and/or relationship to the online marketer (such as being on his/her opt-in list, etc.).</p>
<p>Therefore, you should really try to recruit as many super affiliates into your affiliate sales force as you can.  The first step in recruiting them is to find them online.</p>
<p>One way you can find super affiliates is to go to ClickBank.com and see what products are selling well there.  You can set the order of products displayed in the ClickBank Marketplace on “popularity” in descending order.  In other words, the products at the top of the MarketPlace are the ones that have the best combination of such factors as percentage of total sales referred by affiliates and the number of affiliates who created sales for that product.</p>
<p>The higher those numbers are, the higher the popularity often is, and as a result, are product sites you should visit and attempt to determine what makes their affiliate programs so enticing for people to promote those products (whether it would be the quality of the product offer, the commission that is offered, the support the product owner gives his/her affiliates, etc.)  Not only should you attempt to contact the owners of these sites, but it&#8217;s also good to know what factors make up a successful affiliate program so you can add those elements and enhance upon them when you are ready to begin promoting your affiliate program.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>To increase your online profits, it’s important to reach more of your target market with your product offers.  Having many affiliates promoting your product offers is a good way to increase your profits, but not all affiliates are considered equal in terms of their ability to effectively promote your product offers to the people they market them to.  Preferably, you really want to increase the number of super affiliates in your sales force in order to see a substantial rise in your profits.</p>
<p>Super affiliates are those affiliates who have a good deal of experience promoting and selling many products for many different marketers, with great success in making many sales.  As a result, super affiliates make sizable profits for both themselves and the owners of the products they are marketing.  This results in more marketers wanting those super affiliates to join their affiliate ranks so that they can boost the number of sales of their products, and thereby, their profits.</p>
<p>While there are some affiliates who become super affiliates almost overnight, most of them have built their way up from being a regular affiliate who makes a few sales here and there into an affiliate who almost always generates a lot of sales from just sending out some emails to his/her list(s) and recommends your product.  This is because these affiliates have learned what it takes to succeed at affiliate marketing through trial and error, as well as learning and applying what other super affiliates are doing to achieve their successful marketing results and profits.</p>
<p>To learn how to recruit and train super affiliates, check out &#8220;<a title="Managing Your Affiliates" href="http://www.affiliateattractorfactor.com/managing-your-affiliates/index.php" target="_blank">Managing Your Affiliates</a>.&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>To really make sizable profits online, you need other people promoting your products, as you yourself will not be able to reach the entire market you are serving, as this is virtually impossible, even with the Internet.  Other people will have connections and relationships to members of the market you want to reach.  These people may also have innovative strategies and techniques you may not have considered before in promoting your products.</p>
<p>Therefore, you need to recruit these people to become your affiliates.  An affiliate is a person who will promote your product/service for a share of the profits that are generated when a sale is made.  As a result, you will be able to reach more of the market you want to reach via the affiliates who promote your products to them.</p>
<p>In return, the affiliates will earn a portion of those sales for each sale they make.  At the very least, 50% of the profits should be theirs, and nowadays, the percentage should be higher – even 80-90% of the profits is not uncommon.  In fact, some marketers will offer 100% commissions for each sale their affiliates make, while the marketer makes money on the back-end via one-time offers, selling branded versions of ebooks, or via another offer such as offering a subscription to a paid membership site.</p>
