Very clear from the heading that I am NOT a Super Affiliate, but for sure I want to be.
So I started researching the concept, who is a super Affiliate and what are the special qualities one need to become a Super Affiliate.
Super Affiliate, is someone who generates huge profits from the sale of the products or services he represents.
They are the best affiliates in the industry, running successful campaigns as well as capable of turning losing campaigns into profitable.
Super Affiliate is one who makes a significant living by passive income. By simply promoting other products and services many Super Affiliates easily earn six figures annually.
You may get the first look at the products to promote on your site. You can demand a higher percentage of commissions.
Flexibility in working hours and huge profits are the other benefits.
Though the term ‘Super Affiliate’ is tempting it demands certain qualities and an all rounder personality with physical, mental, emotional and social characteristics.
Physical Characteristics of A Super Affiliate
Here we are not discussing the height, weight and other physical qualities but those qualities which we can see in their personalities.
Today’s Super Affiliate is low key than ever before, he is well read and well educated, well rounded in his field. He is more interested in learning business skills.
Super Affiliate is never Passive
It’s ironic, affiliate marketing is all about passive income but Super Affiliates are always active and never passive!
Networking and learning from others
Networking with other successful people plays a huge role, they try to learn from books, audio, and video, if it’s not possible to learn from them face to face.
Mental Characteristics of Super Affiliate
Super Affiliate needs to have strong mental capabilities, as affiliate marketing is not a short-term business. Super Affiliate needs to focus on affiliate marketing as a long-term business and plan it strategically.
Hard work, Perseverance, patience, and consistency, are the must-have qualities in Super Affiliate.
Like any other industry, affiliate marketing also have its own ups and downs, and it needs a strong mindset to survive and flourish in this industry.
Super Affiliates are action prone and do not hesitate to take action, alongside always mentally prepared to fail and learn from their failures.
Learning from the failures is a great mental capability, and Super Affiliates enjoy the learning process.
Super Affiliates know the power of the mind, therefore they always concentrate on the abundance mindset.
Social and Emotional elements in Super Affiliates
Networking with advertisers and affiliate managers need a strong social background. Business relationships demand a strong social presence within the community.
A strong mailing list is essential for any business. You can build a mailing list only if you have an emotional involvement with your clients.
Emotional involvement with their problems and providing them solutions only make them your consistent customers.
Unless you have an emotional approach to your mailing list, it’s highly impossible to convert them into leads.
Must have to become a Super Affiliate
Your OWN website is a prerequisite to becoming a Super Affiliate. Publishing content on your site regularly has proven to be the best sales tool for affiliate marketing.
Pre-sell
Pre-selling is speaking honestly about the products you are referring to your audience and helping them make an informed decision through your content on your website.
It can be anything a review, blog post, article etc. Your main aim as an affiliate is to presell products and services.
Super Affiliates focus on one or two niches. They don’t scatter all over the place to find a golden one, though most have experimented in many other niches.
Super Affiliates choose a niche with a substance. Small and specific niches lack great earning potentials.
Believe in yourself!
The most important tip is Believe in Yourself! Our thoughts are the most powerful tool, so use it wisely.
Don’t focus on negatives, belief in your capabilities.
You can do it!
Yes, anyone can become a super affiliate with hard work, preserving, and persistence. But as I mentioned above you need some basic fundamentals ready before you start.
You need to have your own website, and a good support system to achieve your goal of becoming a Super Affiliate. Other Characteristics that I mentioned above can be imbibed in with practice and patience.

Hey Justin,
Congrats for being in Super Affiliate Challenge. I think we are really lucky to get guidance from some top Super Affiliates:)
To be Super Affiliates need to add “super” to each qualities I mentioned. Super hard working, super consistent, super persistent and so on.
Thanks.
I would agree not online to be a “super affiliate” but for good business person overall, you need to have all these traits you talked about.
Many people seem to go into this industry thinking they can make a lot of money very fast — but quickly realize it’s not possible and give up.
I truly believe if you work hard enough, have enough patience, and follow a proven method — then you can become a super affiliate or business owner in anything you do.
Micheal, you are right, the qualities I mentioned are necessary to successful at anything in life:) When you choose to work online, these qualities become a must.
I learned all about Online Marketing after I join Wealthy Affiliate, and I try to imbibe these qualities in me step by step, and hope to achieve one day:)
