You know, since I entered the affiliate business some years ago I went through many opportunities. Because my primary goal was (and still is) to MAKE MONEY, not to spend money, I always tried (and I still do) to search for free or low-cost opportunities.
When I discovered ClickBank, I found it a good starting point. I managed to earn several hundreds of dollars from promoting only 8 products on a single web page. That was not bad indeed. At this point I couldn’t stop. I wanted more. So I asked myself, how I can promote more products, or even better, all products from ClickBank Marketplace. The answer was obvious: I needed my own clone of ClickBank marketplace, or simply said - storefront. Google revealed several services offering just what I was searching for.

I tried several ClickBank storefront services but I quit most of them quite soon. With the two most respected I stayed for about 2 years. I was a regular reader of their newsletters. And I can say there were some achievements. But I can’t say they helped me to become a super affiliate. Of course I wondered why the owners of those services are both considered as ClickBank super affiliates. Are they any smarter? Do they have something more?

Whether they are smarter is irrelevant. They are smart enough. They deserve the respect because they are extremely good in what they do.
So do they have something that gives them an advance, then? The answer is YES. They have their storefront services. They have their OWN PRODUCT. The product that helps to make money. And then, they have THE BEST CUSTOMERS — the affiliate marketers, people who want to make money.

The difference seems to be clear now. While the ordinary affiliates are on a never-ending hunt for a new customers, the super affiliates have their membership base - the most stable, hungry for new products, thus returning customers. I know what I’m talking about. As a newsletter member of two of such super affiliates I know what they do. And it’s nothing else than promoting other products to their members.

However, there is also another thing the super affiliates do. If you take a look at those numerous FREE ClickBank based services such as storefronts, search boxes, datafeeds, and contextual ad systems, are they really free? No. The owners of such services are taking certain number of affiliate link clicks generated by their members as a "fee". Such "free" services are tools that create second affiliate tier to their owners.

As we come to the conclusion of this post, it is clear how the super affiliates earn their money. Either from selling their own services to another affiliates or by using their services to create additional affiliate tier that earns them their affiliate commissions. The affiliates who posses their own affiliate services will always be one step ahead.

When I realised all of this, I decided to develop a system that will change the rules. The service that will give as equal chances as possible to everyone. And in the next post I will tell you how the system - Residon.com - works.

Welcome to my site’s introduction.

I’ll be honest with you right from the start. I’m NOT going to sell you some marketing e-book, report, or worthless product with resale-rights. This site and blog is NOT going to be about getting-rich-quickly schemes, about $90 investments that turn into exactly $997 after 30 days. Nothing like that.

So what can you expect?
I’ll be posting here articles about how I make money with my website and with other affiliate programs as well. I will not be revealing any "secrets" here, there is NO PLACE FOR SECRETS on this site. I wouldn’t create this blog if I wished to keep my secrets. Actually, the reason behind this blog is so you can ask me whatever you want, so you can participate, so we can find the best ideas and solutions together.

You may ask why I’m going to share all my knowledge. Good point. Remember? I said, I’m going to be honest. And honestly said, my goal is my own success. I’m that selfish. And I expect you being interested in YOUR OWN SUCCESS as well. Personally, I don’t think that there’s anything bad with this attitude. But what if there’s something more that’s required for your success to happen?

Look, I created one unique affiliate marketing tool, quite revolutionary in some ways. That tool helps me to make money as a boss of my own home business. But that’s just one part of my success, the small one. My site, the system, is developed in a way that allows me to call my business a success only when people like YOU WILL SUCCEED with it too. The tools are made to help people. The same applies to my site. If it can’t help people to make money, it’s useless and worthless. But I’m sure this is not the case. I’m sure you will see it…

Next time I’ll continue with the introduction of Residon.com explaing why there are the superaffiliates who succeed with their businesses and what differs them from other "ordinary" affiliates.
