How do I go from Demi-Affiliate to Super-Affiliate?
Through some of my own resourcefulness and bootstrapping, I've been able to generate a modest non-zero income through Clickbank.
There's a major problem with my marketing method, and it's that there's a cap to the money that can be earned. I'm running into a wall scaling up beyond the current level of income that I enjoy.
The solution that I'm pursuing for now is to raise the value of my average visitor via Email marketing. My open and click through rates are high (25%+ and 10%+ respectively), but conversions are still slim.
The traffic, conversions and earnings are strong enough that I am able to rank in the middle for various affiliate competitions--most recently Google Sniper's VIP Affiliate Contest--thus why I consider myself to be a 'demi-affiliate' as opposed to the super-affiliate who routinely places in the top three.
How do you recommend I scale or overcome said wall?
As a favor to the people who inevitably ask, here's a summary of what I'm doing
One click against my network of websites is worth on average $0.07 to me.
Make Money Online: $0.14
Build Muscle: $0.06
Lose Weight: $0.05
In all of those markets, it costs me less than that much money--per visitor on average--to generate my traffic.

As a favor to the people who inevitably ask, here's a summary of what I'm doing
- Look for keywords on YouTube for people who have a problem and are willing to pay for a solution. If the videos for those keywords say 'how to' it's a good indicator of the traffic I'm looking for.
- Buy advertising on the page of the videos ranking well on those keywords to get the average YouTube viewer to view my website
- The YouTube viewer turned website visitor sees the offer, and decides whether or not to buy.
