Great resource of info, Doug. That is true, even if you are not doing your own product, you really must take constant effort and ongoing promotions in order to succeed in affiliate marketing.

I would say that its not so much about doing "more" than your competition but to do "better". That's not one and the same thing. Its important to ascertain what is really valuable on a competitors site and take that as an inspiration while you still put your own personal touch to it. With something that youre good at of course! Btw, my father is an insurance agent and recently told me: "They're not your competitors but contenders".

Beating the competition may sound like too much, but there is no denying the fact that when you want to earn online then you need to counter the competition.

Some very sage advice Doug. Any online business is a business as you say and it has to be approached from a professional standpoint. Writing your own copy and articles are the things that make you stand out from the others and helps you build a list. Cheers... Ric Raftis’s last blog post..How To Find Hot Niches

Great ideas! There are definitely a couple there that I can put to use right away. Definitely need to start writing my own copy more often as I am often guilty of just grabbing what is available and running with that. Looking forward to the next post Captain!

Doug…

As always, great information.

As you said, only a fraction of the people who sign up to be an affiliate with whatever program, take action.

If you are a ‘doer’ and can put some elbow grease in to your efforts, your chances of being rewarded as a successful affiliate are much greater.

Thanks for the great info!

Great tips again Doug! I like your tip about looking to see what your competitors are doing, so that you can do the same, plus more to stand out. With affiliate marketing you can't forget about your competitors, which I think many affiliates do. They don't go see what they are doing and try to stand out above them.

Great ideas again. Having unique copy and bonuses does eliminate your competition to a great extent. Somehow the people that work at things always end up being the "lucky" affiliates no matter the program. Mike Paetzold’s last blog post..Even I miss lessons from the turtles
