Many times in affiliate marketing we think we are doing all of the things correctly all of the time. However, if you were to take a step back and analyze your own business you would see that you are not really maximizing your true potential when it comes to making money online.
The real key to making money online is to always be selling. Certainly there are different approaches that you can take, but many people never really master the art of selling on the Internet.
For example, let’s take a look at the business model known as affiliate marketing. There are 2 important steps that you have to take if you expect to make money online as an affiliate marketer.
1. Do not use the replicated affiliate website as your initial point of contact with your website visitor. You are much better off to create a website of your own, where you have the opportunity to pre-sell your visitor on the many benefits of the product you are representing.
Pre-selling is an important part of making sales online and making money onlinet. In the old days it was known that people liked to buy from people.
There is still an element of truth to that today, and your ability to relate to your visitor in the form of pre-selling your product will have a huge impact on the amount of money that you make.
2. You need to promote your website if you expect anyone to come and visit it. This seems so basic, yet the amount of affiliate marketers that fail due to lack of quality traffic is unbelievable.
If getting website visitors was as easy as everyone makes it out to be then we would all be more successful. The fact of the matter is you will have to develop advertising and marketing skills before you will ever make a lot of money oline.
This could take you hundreds of hours before you really become adept at the many different ways to market online. Even if you are doing paid advertising you need to know how to properly spend your money to achieve the results you are looking for.
There is so much that goes into making money oline that it is hard to boil it down to two specific things. However, if you were to create your own website for your affiliate products, and then become an expert at marketing it, you cannot help but make money if you get enough quality traffic every day.

I think its important that affiliates ad value. This is often overlooked. Whether its providing reviews, offering product tutorials, give the customers a reason to purchase from you rather than a competitor.
I think you make some valid points with this article, but I’d caution anyone against taking any of them as “absolutes”.
There are exceptions to every rule. For instance, there are times when going straight to a sales page without an affiliate page makes sense. It just depends on the circumstances and, more importantly, the testing.
Test everything and remove the guesswork.
