If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!
Back in 2005 when I was a graduate student, I became fascinated with the internet economy and began reading every book I could get my hands on regarding the subject. I was inspired to start an internet business of my own.
I discovered that setting up a website and promoting affiliate products was the fastest way to get started with an internet business. I began researching and reading ebooks on the subject to learn as much as I could about it (starting in March 2005).
Over the months, I had little to no success; however, I was determined to succeed. You see, I hated my job at a famous government research lab. I wanted to be desperately free from my job and live the incredible lifestyle so many of the internet marketing ‘gurus’ talk about.
In September 2005, I stumbled upon Google Adwords and PPC Marketing in general. I began to devour every book regarding PPC Affiliate Marketing. Within 4 months, I was able to grow my online business, managing to make $10,000 in profits for the month of December 2005.
On June 15, 2006 I walked away from a $90,000/yr job and entered the “land of the living”, never to work a “day job” again.
Fast forward to April 2007. I’m currently building several companies around the affiliate marketing business model and my business profits are currently $90,000/month… and increasing rapidly.

I would like to personally thank everyone for visiting Super Affiliate Mindset and it is my hope that I can help as many people as possible acheive their goals in this exciting profession

Hi Amit,
I came accross this website and when i saw your picture on the top i recognized that we had met earlier. I don’t know if you remember me, but i met you in the affiliate summit in June 06 in Orlando. I was doing aff mktng for 3 years (mostly part time advertising in yahoo and msn) and i told you that i had a hard time with adwords. You suggested me to read “Perry Marshall’s” book…After the summit i read the book, applied the strategies and actually learnt so much that adwords brings most of my profits in the niche iam into currently.
So, i stopped by to say “THANK YOU” for being kind and very open about helping others, which not a lot of people do.
Best wishes,
Ajay
btw: i am enjoying your blog..Its extremely motivating. Never came across anything like this before. Keep it up!
Hi Ajay,
I’m glad you’re having great success!
I will be speaking at the Affiliate Summit in Miami this July and will be talking more extensively about my strategies. I hope to see you there.
Sincerely,
Amit
Hey Amit,
Nice to come across your blog, I handle flora2000’s affiliate marketing program.
I myself am pretty interested in learning more and more on the internet and love knowledge sharing via my blog.
Will be coming here more often
so keep updating for us to read and learn 
Cheers Clyde!
Hi Amit,
Can I have your Email address? I want to talk with you by email.
Thank you!
My email is : amit at superaffiliatemindset.com
Just came across your site and have enjoyed reading the posts on it so far. It’s good to see someone show how they got this type of business up and going; and some of the minor details missed on some larger forums.
Looking forward to reading more.

Hi Amit,
I came across your blog through BuildingMyEmpire.com who found it through ShoeMoney. I guess sending him a t-shirt really works for getting more publicity and traffic to your blog.
I find your blog to be particularly interesting because you have already traveled further along the path which I set out on. Like you, I too have gone to graduate school and am currently working for a large research lab. I’ve had some success with search marketing but no where near your levels of success.
I hope to learn more from you and I’m going to be checking your blog daily.
Hi Hock,
I used to work at MIT Lincoln labs in Lexington, MA. I can tell you that doing affiliate marketing full time is a blast compared to having to work at MIT.
I wish you the best of luck, if you can do scientific research than this business will be cake walk for you.
Nice read. Wow, that is amazing within 2 years. so what are you using mostly for your product? CB, CJ, and other affiliates?
Hi ibusinesstalk,
I do mostly CB. However, recently I’m moving away from CB.
You have written some excellent, inspirational, and very informative posts here. Although you know well that no e-book will teach you everything, these posts could be the perfect e-book on the right attitude needed for successful affiliate marketing. Keep up the great work!
PS - When you build sites (landing sites), do you build static sites or use a CMS?
Hi Tim,
Thanks I appreciate that!
My business partner Tom does all the programming, he generally uses php to build our affiliate sites.
Amit
Congrats and well done. Can you please share who are your major affliate networks. I run few succesful blogs and would be interested in learning more abt affliate marketing. Can you please comments on the big 4: Commission Junction, LinkShare, ClickBank, Performics
Thanls
amit, sorry..just read your previous response that you’re mostly using cb and moving away from CB.So, my question would be which affliate network you moving to??
Hi Amit,
Your blog is a breath of fresh air !
I am starting out on AM and is really struggling and I am very determine to succeed, hopefully…not 4 years…:) I have read, devour every ebook that I come across on AM but I am still lost and hope to get some directions from your blog.
My affiliate marketing site is at www.fatloss4-idiots.com and just went into PPC to promote the site. Am reading your post and see how I can improve on it after getting some stats on it.
Will be back with the result. Wish me luck !

Amit, Thanks for sharing your experience with 2 of the affiliate firm: Clickbank & CJ
You talked abt reading many books on affiliate marketing. Can you list really good book available in the market for learning affiliate marketing???
Thanks for your candid perspective.
Hi Amit,
I would recommend Googlecash for someone who’s just starting out, and of course Perry Marshall’s Definitely Guide to Adwords.
Hi Amit,
You took 4 months of consistent effort to really breakthrough in Affiliate Marketing, Can I ask if Adword is the one and only thing that you really studied, explore and experiment to get your income in?
Reason why I asked is because I wanted to know if its highly feasible to go to CJ, search a product keyword phrase that I could target and do an adword campaign to redirect any traffic to that affiliate site..assuming i have research that product demand through overture already..
Hi Melvin,
Yes, my main focus has always been Adwords, and that’s where I make the majority of my income.
Hi Amit,
Thanks for replying. I will get to Perry Marshal ebook to learn about PPC.
I really enjoy your site. I have been trying to get my feet wet with affiliate marketing but seem to be stuck in a rut. It is ok to email you with some of my questions?
Cheers.
Hi Amit,
Can I asked when U first started out in Affiliate Marketing, did u start it off with PPC on Clickbank products or PPC on CPA ?
When using CPC do you always take the traffic back to a landing page with offers, or do you ever take them back to a larger site 50+ pages with lots of offers
Hi Amit:
Great blog and thanks for all the good advice. I was wondering if you had a course or training program geared towards assisting affiliate marketers to become super affiliates and really learn this business the right way?
Melvin: I started with Clickbank
Chad: I take my traffic to a page with one offer
Kent: I working on a coaching program
Hi Amit,
While searching in google about affiliate marketing,I found your site which is really interesting and inspired me also.I have been working as SEO since 2004. I would like to know more about affiliate marketing which dominates online marketing.Can you suggest some nice affiliate book.
Best Regards
Jitto Jose
Hiya Amit, I’m into creative copy writing and supervision. I have tons of learning to do esp regarding keywords, PPC and online advertising. Do you have an email address where I could write to you? I look forward to hearing from you
Thanks,
Nessa
Hi Nessa:
Stop wasting Amit’s time by asking him questions that you could easily scroll for on this page!
It’s amit at superaffiliatemindset.com as he’s said on #5.
Oops.. gee, thanks
Hi Amit,
I stumbled upon your website, whilst googling for CPA network info…
Hey I can so relate to the ‘hate my job’and will do anything to get out of it.
Currently, I make a good income as a dentist ($100k annually), but its no comparison to payperclick marketing!
I am planning on quitting dentistry by mid next year. (have already told the boss).
Thanks for sharing your ‘About Me’. It is inspirational and amazing that you have elevated to $90k/month within the space of less than 1.5 years!!
Also your tips on keyword research were elightening!
I was wondering if you were using any programs such as Speed PPC, Google Cash Detective, Affiliate Radar or PPC Riches? (I have all these programs)
Hi Amit,
I found your blog thru Shoemoney blog.
Your blog is the best blog for me, you are so kind to share the knowledge you know without B.S.
As a newbie, I learn a lot here.
When I started internet marketing 6 months ago, i read a lot of ebooks.
I also have the same experience where the ebooks that make me start earning money from the internet are Google Cash & Definitive Guide by Perry Marshall.
Thanks a lot.
All the best,
Herman
Hi Amit,
apart from the freedom and the money is there more to this affiliate marketing thing? I mean do you find products and services that you believe in and/or have some affinity with. Personally, I find that I lose interest pretty quickly marketing stuff I don’t really believe in (Ive worked for Corps selling C/C, vitamins, publishing and more). Have you got any tips or maybe an insight for those searching for ‘good products’ that really do help people and are ethical?
By the way love your blog - keep it up.
regards,
Nick
Hi Amit,
You have a good weblog. I have added your blog to the list of good blogs that I should drop by every now and then.
I also have a weblog about internet and search engine marketing. I hope we can have close co-working and share our good ideas with each other. I subscribed for your feed.
Best regards,

Real interesting.. From MIT to owning your own business… I am building a port for entrepreneurs and would be good if I could fund my efforts using affliate marketing. Any tips will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance..
Hi Amit,
I admire your great success story. I too would like to get started in an internet business. Where I live the monthly salary is very low compared to the US, so I don’t have enough money left over in the month to start with PPC campaigns. Can you recommend the best way for a person to get started who is willing to work and has time but not much spare money to invest?
Thank you,
Jorge
Hi Amit,
I’ve just started my mini-site, as you can see from the url http://www.strive-magazine.com or http://ottawa.strive-magazine.com . I’m currently working on pushing traffic to the site and working on a few strategies. Your blog and video has been extremely helpful and motivating.
I am doing cpa programs though and was wondering if there are similar strategies involved?
cheers,
Alok
Hi Amit,
I had a few questions for you regarding the recent Googleslaps and building content rich websites in order to satisfy G’s needs. Please drop me an email whenever you have a few minutes.

Hello Amit,
My name is Mike and I’ve come across your blog through the 45n5.com top 100 blog list. I wanted to write you today to find out if you’d be interested in getting your blog redesigned? You can view samples of my work at

I’d like to add that I’m a webmaster by trade and a blogger at many sites including blog.namifiers.com and I know that you have your fingers in many influential circles and probably a lot more than me. I can only speak for myself, so I know that within my circle of friends and business acquaintances including my daughter’s charter school, choir group and my wife’s church groups, reading groups and my current and past clients that I get word of these organizations needs for ordering or the need of ordering ID promo products such as lanyards, badge holders, name tags and vinyl banners long before they place that order. My antenna goes up knowing that if I can refer to them the lowest price on these recognition products and they can have same-day shipping / services the day an order is placed that they are going to be pleased with their next purchase. Not to mention, I too get a handsome reward (12% commision paypal check) for having them place an order and get a 10% discount on their order by mentioning my affiliate ID. Please keep this in mind for yourself and you’ll have Christmas bonus payouts every month this new year 2008.
I am the Promotional Product Affiliate Manager for Namifiers, LLC. - I want to briefly share with you a simple success story in making money that happened earlier this December and how I paid that affiliate $408.37 in commission for a single order at 12% commissions that stemmed from one phone call. The customer got the quality product they were looking for and received a handsome commission check for simply hosting a link on their website and placing a call for some custom vinyl banners, lanyards and name tags.

Hi Amit.

Hi Amit, thanks for all the info - I have a lot of respect for you.
I am a beginner, and I am sure you’ve been asked this a lot, but where do you start? I am trying to make my own sites with affiliate offers but I don’t know how to make a website. I’m trying to learn but its taking longer than i thought. What are your thoughts and how to begin? Do templates work? Any info would be much appreciated. thanks!
Amit,
If you don’t mind me asking what books did you read I’m going to order them
Seriously…
Amit,
I discovered your blog yesterday and stayed up all night reading it on my tiny blackberry browser. I love this blog!
First, you have a great writing style. It’s humorous, educational, and inspiring. And you write from your heart.
Second, the information you share is simply amazing. Instead of high level stuff, you share the actual details of what works. You share the work as well as the rewards you gain from it. Thank you for this! I agree, by your giving, you will get a lot more.
Third, I love your devotion to your wife. I especially enjoyed the photo of you with the diving bell, holding her hand. For some reason, it was so funny, there you are, underwater, with that heavy diving bell and so sweet because you are holding her hand. Your relationship with her is inspiring.
Congratulations on your success and I wish you lots more.
If you and your wife are ever in the San Francisco area, please contact me. I’d love to take you both around and show this you beautiful city.
Best wishes,
Kamal

Amit-
I’ve been reading your blog for a few weeks now and I greatly enjoy it. In one post your copywriter stated that you paid her and she gets a peice the revenue generated by any campaigns she helps you with, can you give some guidelines/suggestions on how to set up this type of business relationship. What’s a good percentage to pay them? How do they know how much money is being made? How often do you paid them?
Thanks for any light you can shine in this area
Hi Amit,
Are you going to be at the Affiliate summit 2008 in vegas?
I am going to be there. please email me to let me know. thanks.

Hi Amit,
I am recruiting affiliates and wanted to ask you if you would be interested in earning $90 per sale of a really really great product. I would like to also advertise or have a discussion about where I could take my program, hopefully the stars!

I came here through Johnchow and enjoyed reading your blogs. Am really impressed with $90,000 a month.. that’s quite some money. BTW, you should consider your blog registered at blogadda. I have found so many good indian blogs to read. thanks
Hey Amit,
I just got into PPC/CPA stuff, really fun, and I guess the most difficult part seems to be the keyword research, using the right tools, and figuring out how to put everything together. Maybe you can write a good article on how you approach something, and maybe the tools you use
Thanks!
I hope you had the chance to stop by our booth (motiveinteractive.com) at ASW08. If not I would love to send you a motive t-shirt, to add to your growing collection of free stuff. I promise the motive shirts are much cooler. Just need to know where to mail.
Hi Amit,
I came upon your website by chance today while surfing for the name of those that manage to earn the title of “Super Affiliates.”
(by the way is there such title given by any organisation?)
I will be taking my first live course in internet marketing under a well known super affiliate. I am feeling I could accomplish much more than that constrictive place in present work place and for close to a decade has not given any recognition.
I am very eager to start out on the right track in internet marketing. Internet is also my favourite pass time.
I have no experience in internet marketing although daily I surf the nets for hours for all things that came across my mind and sometimes aimlessly.
I had just signed up to learn Internet Marketing live with a well known internet marketer over 3 days.
1) Do you have any advice for me to be successful in internet marketing?
2) What is the strategy and mindset I should have to start out in Internet Marketing?
3)Is it possible to learn internet marketing from ebooks and CDs?
4) Is it possible to immediately start to make $ within 1 week without any products now?
5) Is Affiliate marketing the easiet to start out to make $ for a beginner? I hope to be like you in shortest possible time.
If possible I would appreciate if you could contact me through email to give advice and guidance. Thank you lot.
With sincerity,
Jerry
Amit,
This is the first time I read your “About” page! I am currently a graduate student in a science field (cancer biology), and I am about to get my PhD later this year. In addition, I have been working in affiliate marketing for a little while now, with some success, and getting better at it day by day!
After I get the PhD, I plan to get out of the research field (my PI doesn’t really know :)). I was really surprised that you did research and worked in a “famous government research lab” - I can only speculate which one
Anyway, I love your blog! Very inspirational and informative. Thanks.
Sherif M.
very inspiring!
can you name a few resources to learn about affiliate marketing?
Hi Amit,
I came across your site researching super affiliate blogs on Google.co.uk. I believe there is a huge opportunity for us to work together and create an extremely lucrative partnership between us. As we are # 1 in our industry and ranked #5 of 31 by Business 2.0 for the World’s Best Business Ideas, you would be working with the very best.
I’d like to offer you 40% simply to begin working together. I can provide you with any Marketing Tools you need including: unique content, published articles, & assorted graphical tools. Please contact me A.S.A.P. so we can talk about building that profitable future together.
Kind Regards,
Zach Hamisha
Great Story. Inspiring!!

Hi Amet,
I found your blog just by surfing the Net. I’m very impressed by your experience. I’m graduate in phhysics and I’m working as a teacher. like you, I like working for myself and live that experience we always read about by those IT gurus. If you could help with some books in this field (affiliate and online making money) you have read and the ones I should read to begin a busniss of mmy own. here’s my email: bentaleb12 at g.m.a.i.l

Hi Amit,
My name is Ram Sharma, president and CEO of Karma Design Studio and I am also a 16 year old student. I just saw your video from Affiliate Summit. I am very proud of your accomplishments and I hope you the best of success. I was wondering if you could help me with my company and I could help you with your website or anything to do with web services, in exchange. Please contact me via email, I really want to get to know you and learn from you.
Thank you,

Amit,
I wanted to leave a comment on your most recent post, but it’s off the topic of the most and I did not want to be selfish, so I hope it’s ok to put on this string of comments. I’m interested in finding out more about your coaching program, there’s not information that I see available anywhere on this page, is it something you still do?
Thanks.
Amit, saw you in an Affiliate Summit video. You can really speak very well!
Hi, I was just wondering what the use of this blog was to you?
I mean I doubt it would make a significant amount of money so why else would you be doing it?
I just wanted to commend you on your success and your blog. This is easily one of the most positive, informative and straight forward Affiliate Marketing blog online.
