As no doubt you have found out for yourself already, making ANY affiliate sales can be quite hard work. There are different ways to work on making daily affiliate sales, but today I would like to talk about the usual method that is recommended, and what I think is a much better option. To me this should be affiliate marketing training 101. Learn this and you will never fail again.
The first thing you need to understand is there is no magic button that is going to turn you into an affiliate marketing sales machine overnight. People have this idea that you can just set up an ad campaign, fire traffic at it, and the sales will come flooding in. This is the usual method that you will be encouraged to use, and I want to teach you something different.
The Affiliate Marketing Method That Is Commonly Recommended
Let me explain what usually happens in the most common affiliate marketing situation first of all….. you set up an ad campaign and fire traffic at it. That bit most people understand reasonably well. The next part of that affiliate marketing method is rarely understood. I want to make it clear, so read this slowly:
If you launch a brilliant advertising campaign, you could capture between 20% and 30% of subscribers. If it’s mediocre, prepare for a modest 10%. When I talk about “subscription rate,” I mean real people leaving their information on your landing page. Burn this into your memory: never send direct traffic to the affiliate offer.
However, capturing emails is just the beginning. While an exceptional campaign might close a 5% sales rate, market reality dictates that the norm is between 1% and 2%. And yes, 0% is a very real possibility.
A lesson that cost me tears
I’m telling you this from personal experience. After months of frustration, I sought out a “mentor.” His advice was simple: “Use this method and buy higher-quality traffic.” It seemed logical. I saw his screenshots, I saw his sales figures, and I believed him. In an act of desperation and blind faith, I spent my rent money buying that “premium traffic” from a professional. I was convinced I’d more than recoup my investment.
The result: Zero sales. Nothing.
I’m not ashamed to admit I cried. The helplessness of losing what you don’t even have is devastating. Please, don’t make the same mistake. Unfortunately, my story isn’t the exception; it’s the rule. Most affiliates lose more money buying traffic than they’ll ever see in commissions.
A Better Way to Make Affiliate Sales
A much better option for generating daily affiliate sales is to invest very little in traffic and still get a high sign-up rate. Even better is the option where you make money from traffic and generate affiliate sales.
How would you like to spend $20 a month on traffic but earn $100 a month BEFORE even trying to sell affiliates? That turns the previous method on its head, right? Instead of losing $80 by only making one $20 sale after paying $100 for traffic, you earn the money FIRST.
By working this way, you can use some of the money to pay for more traffic that also generates affiliate sales. That way, you earn double the money.
Do you clearly see the difference between this method and the previous one?
This method allows you to scale to daily sales that generate profits; the previous one is like playing the lottery with your income and losing every time.
The most important thing you need to learn as an affiliate: It’s very obvious to say, but I’ll say it anyway because it’s necessary. ALWAYS have a system that pays you more than you spend.
When you earn $10, spend only $5 or $8 on traffic.
Have a system in place that pays you DAILY if you want to make daily affiliate sales.
Learning to make money online before buying traffic is one of the most important things you can learn as an affiliate in my opinion.
No-one else teaches this as far as I know, but it should be the first thing that new affiliates are taught, because it practically guarantees success.
There are 3 different ways you can earn money before paying for traffic:
- Create free passive income that constantly builds.
- Using free traffic sites that pay.
- Using a single cost affiliate product and free traffic to promote it.
Create Free Passive Income That Constantly Builds
This is my favourite method, because the more it is used, the more money is made. This allows you to scale up your traffic levels constantly.
To use this method, simply set up an automated advertising campaign that promotes free websites. The more referrals you get, the more money you’ll earn. An example of an automated advertising campaign I run for this purpose is shown on the following page:
Using Free Traffic Sites That Pay
This is a very simple method. You join some free traffic sites that actually pay you to use them. You earn some cash and you use it to pay for upgrades.
Some free traffic sites I use for this are:
Leadsleap – Surf for daily bonus cash, use it to upgrade to pro.
Infinity Traffic Boost – Surf for daily bonus cash, purchase TPO 1.
Hungry for Hits – Surf and claim surf rewards and play games, purchase 1 day ad package.
These 3 sites have very different upgrade costs and benefits.
Leadsleap is the most expensive upgrade, but you get a huge amount of advertising for that cost. You also get a lot of tools that make marketing much more effective.
Infinity Traffic Boost costs just $3 – $4 for TPO 1. By surfing 100+ pages a day you can easily earn this within a month. The package will last for around a month as well, so it works nicely.
Hungry for Hits has a very low cost 1 day ad package that you can easily earn within a couple of days from surfing.
I recommend you use all 3 sites and work on earning to upgrade each one. Due to the difference in cost, the 3 sites work very well together to keep your ads running constantly.
Using a one-cost Product or Service and free traffic to promote it
Out of the 3 methods dicussed today, this is the only one that requires some funds to get started. It is important that you choose a single cost product to promote, and something that is reasonably low cost too.
One of my favourite products to use for this is The Crypto Mailer == Click to Join
It’s an advertising platform with a list of verified BUYERS and a Referral System up to 5 levels deep.

Combine this with the 3 free traffic sites above, and you will earn free ad credits to promote The Crypto Mailer while ALSO working on generating cash to upgrade on each site at the same time.
The Smartest Marketing Strategy
As I said at the beginning of this blog post, no one else teaches affiliates to work in this way as far as I know, yet it practically guarantees success. It makes complete sense that earning more than you spend on traffic is going to make you a profit EVEN WITHOUT ANY SALES. When you learn to protect yourself from the possibility of no sales, while also building traffic levels, you create a system that keeps you motivated and moving forward. As you progress, making affiliate sales gets easier and easier and much more frequent too.
The smartest marketing strategy, and the one that works faster than any single method discussed so far, is: to use ALL THREE of the methods at the same time.
