Learning How to Become a Successful Affiliate Marketer Super Affiliate Challenge

All of us want to become a Successful Affiliate Marketer. No doubt about that.

But are we all willing to pay the price?

And I'm NOT talking about monetary price. This one is well covered. A lot of us have already realized that the monthly fee at WA is pretty fair and brings us an enormous amount of value.

I'm talking about all the effort, time, dedication and mindset needed.

I joined the Super Affiliate Challenge and am just finishing the first week in Month 1 and I can already tell you that the word "Challenge" is perfect to describe this program.

It's definitely not been easy, but with a detailed plan and lots of dedication, it's been a very productive week.

So, I thought I could drop a few lines on the things I've learned so far, either from Kyle's video/lesson or from the research I've been conducting in order to write my posts and grow my new website.

Here you go:

• The frequency of posts (not only quantity) matters - writing 3 posts during a week is our goal - at least for this beginning. It's not good for SEO rankings to write and publish all on the same day and not publish on the rest of the week.
• When writing an article we should always aim at a problem our readers have, give them a solution and show the benefits they will enjoy by adopting such a solution.
  
• The importance of a clear direct CTA
• Less is More. I looked at dozens of successful websites during this week and one thing almost all had in common was simplicity, no fancy widgets, and overcrowded pages.
• Another thing learned with this research: looking and studying successful websites (including those outside WA limits) can teach us valuable lessons.
• Branding, Content, and usefulness of the products being promoted are key for affiliate sites.
• The importance of relationship marketing. Something I have included on my to-do list.

Please feel free to comment and enrich these thoughts. I'd love to learn from your experience as well.
