Residon.com Affiliate Marketing Blog

I guess it’s pretty much obvious that anyone who begins with affiliate marketing (or any kind of business) wants to make it big. To earn a lot of money with minimum effort. Recently, there are thousands of people trying to do their own home based business. How many of them manage to MAKE IT BIG? Only few. Did you ever try to explain why this happens?

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.
