There is so much hype with the current boom in affiliate marketing. As an internet marketer you are known as a referrer. The current method of payment that you can make is via exit traffic - even if nobody buys anything from example a program like GOOGLE ad sense. If you have your own product you can sell it for a profit or find others and pay them in a form of a commission. Thirdly some companies pay for leads like insurance quotes where they build an email list of clients. There are some ways you can launch yourself to stardom.
Firstly participate in companies that have high conversion ratios. To avoid the disappointment contact the affiliate manager or owner of the website and ask them what actual products convert. Why would you promote anything that does not convert into sales- save yourself the time and money there. Secondly ask them for a keyword report or list of items that are working for there company. Without it how can you help each other improve each others bottom line. Thirdly relationship build with that company. Think about it, if they know who you are, they might be able to assist you better.
To be a super affiliate you need to list build. Find prospects who are looking for the product or service that you want. An email list of 1000 consumers can turn to quiet a few sales or leads. Often you can create an e-book or give something away for free. Thus you are building your database of potential customers. Also provide them with value. For example you might have a piece of material or software that helps them with a learning curve. The results can come with the proper knowledge.

Conversion is key - I have to remind that to affiliates all the time.
As an affiliate manager I tend to have this conversation more than I like to admit:
Affiliate – “Your competitor just offered me $10 per conversion for my traffic, you only pay $7. I think I am going to have to send my traffic to them.”
Me – “$10 eh? What is their conversion rate?”
Affiliate – “Um….I am not sure. But they want to pay me $10!”
Me – “And how much will you make if their conversion is half of ours?”
Affiliate – “Oh, yeah, I get it now.”
Savvy affiliates know that conversion is just as important as payout when they are evaluating affiliate programs. I could offer you $1,000 per conversion, but if my conversion is 0%, you’re not going to make a dime
