How much do super affiliates make these days? The standard used to be $10K a month (I thought) but some say it was 25K a month. Today in his Super Affiliate Blog, Jon says that TRUE super affiliates should only be the top 1% of earners and need to be making 250,000 a month to truly be super. Jon just wrote one of the most hard hitting, yet true (mostly) blog entries Ive read in awhile.
Sometimes I mince words trying too hard to be nice. Especially with all the newbies at my forum - I try to tell them like it is, but cushion it enough that I don't just scare them out of the business before they even begin. One of my biggest industry pet peeves is all the Ebooks and supposed Gurus and self proclaimed "super affiliates" that capitalize on the dreams of n00bs that want to learn the "secret to success."
I hope Jon doesn't mind me quoting such a long excerpt of his blog, but he gives the advice Ive been wanting to give affiliates for a long time. <strong>I always tell them, there is no short cut to success but he hits it alot harder and minces NO words</strong>. Check this!
<blockquote>You cannot LEARN how to be a super affiliate from an ebook or a forum or even a blog. It?s not something you can read in a book or learn from by watching TV or even attending an expensive seminar. It?s something that you can only become by doing a ****load of trial and error, over and over and over again. It?s like comparing this to being a hedge fund manager or some hot shot lawyer. Do you think they learned it from a few sources? Nope! They may have learned some stuff, but the reason they are at the level they are at right now is because it came from this one magical word, with no shortcuts or quick secret routes to, called?. EXPERIENCE. It?s not something you can learn in school, seminars, books, videos, or from friends. You can only gain it by actually trying it, and being successful, but also failing and learning from your mistakes! So why the hell are people still buying these **** artist ebooks? </blockquote>
He then goes on to create what he says is the <a target="_new" href="http://www.aojon.com/why-1-is-bigger-than-99-a-message-to-ad-networks-self-proclaiming-super-affiliates/">new definition of "super affiliate"</a> and tells the <em>faker wanna-be super affiliate guru ebook sellers </em>to grow up, get busy and actually go to work making money instead of flashing big fake checks to try to sell ebooks. There's really a wealth of good info in his post and I wish I had the nerve to write they way he does.
I would not however have bashed Rosalind Gardner & Joel Comm. Jon said he wasn't trying to be a "prick", but you have to admit that was pretty snarky! The whole raw blog was also pretty good link bait. Look how much I wrote about it. ;-) Now go read it and see if you agree.
