1. Do some research and read the
available review online to find the
affiliate program which suits you
best. Normally I will choose those
which pay fast and pay high
2. You need a simple and eye
catching website/splashpage to
promote your affiliate program, so
setup a simple website using some
available templates which you can
get from the internet as a start. If
you are familiar with website
development try create a more
eye catching site buy purchasing
some nice templates and
composing a nice selling quote.
3. Get traffic to your site. Study on
SEO and methods on how to bump
up your site page ranking and
traffic. Getting more backlinks and
optimizing your affiliate page
according to the desired search
key word to get "targeted" traffic
instead of rubbish traffic.
4. Get a paypal account and start
cashing out
Building an affiliate business is one
of the easiest ways to start a
business online. You don't need
your own products, you don't have
to provide customer service, and in
fact, you don't even need a
website. If you want to earn real
profits from an affiliate business
though, then you need real
strategies for getting traffic and
earning profits.
Now, if you're already a member of
an affiliate program, the next thing
you need to do is work on earning
more commissions. If you really
want to earn more commissions,
here are three strategies that will
help you begin to earn, or earn
more from affiliate programs:
1. Know which affiliate
programs are the best to promote. Selecting the right product or
products to promote is crucial to
your success. To select the best
products to promote, there are
several factors you should
consider. These include finding
programs that have a generous
commission structure. If you're
having to sell a lot of a product to
generate small commissions, you'll
have to work a whole lot harder.
Make sure you know who your
target market is and go where that
target market is to promote. You
also want to make sure that the
programs you choose have a solid
track record for paying affiliates, as
well as having a solid track record
for sales. Some sites, like
Clickbank, can tell you how well
different products are selling.
With thousands of affiliate
programs available for you to sell,
you can afford to be picky about
what products you promote.
Although as an affiliate, your
reputation is less at stake than the
merchant's, you want to be careful
about what programs you promote.
If you've built a list, as well as a
relationship with your readers,
your reputation is still at stake, and
you want to make sure that you
offer your readers good products.
An easy way for you to promote
affiliate programs is through free
ebooks and reports. These can be
reports offered by the merchant, or
a short report you've written about
the product you're promoting. This
can help you distinguish yourself
from other affiliates, especially
when you write the report yourself
because you are giving the reader
new information other affiliates are
not offering.
Offer tips in the report about how
to use the product. Give readers
more information about the
product. Put yourself in the
reader's shoes. What questions
can you answer in your report that
may not be answered in the sales
letter?
2. Give away your free report
to those who subscribe to your
list.
This is really easy to do because all
you need is a lead capture page
and an autoresponder to do this.
Once you set up the lead capture
page and autoresponder, all you
have to do is drive traffic to the
page.
You can also offer follow up
messages on the product to give
readers more information. By
offering follow ups to your initial
contact, you are building a
relationship with the subscriber,
and you are more likely to convert
the subscriber to a customer. Once
you get the subscriber to sign up
for your list and download the
report, then you can send the
subscriber to the merchant's
website.
You can also publish an online
newsletter or ezine for your list.
Not only will you have a chance to
promote your initial offering
repeatedly, but you can also
promote other offers. Let me
caution you though, you want to
make sure that you offer plenty of
good information in your ezine.
An additional advantage of
publishing an ezine is that you can
also use this content for your
website by creating an archive of
your ezines. This also gives you an
opportunity to promote to your
new visitors.
3. If you want to get traffic
fast, then try pay per click
advertising.
You can test your ads first by using
some of the lesser known pay per
click search engines that offer free
credits. By testing your ads first,
you'll find out what works best for
promoting your affiliate products.
Build your list, offer your potential
customers more value than your
fellow affiliates, and test your
promotions, and you can easily
increase your commissions.

5 Simple Ways To Promote Your Affiliate Programs!
So, you want to make money
online, but you�re having trouble
getting visitors to your website? If
so, you�re not alone. Many people
think that running an online busy
is easy � just build a website, and
in no time you�ll be making
money.
Well, running an online business is
no different than running any
business� you need to find ways
to reach people who want and
need (and are willing to pay for) your
product or service.
Affiliate marketing (selling other
people�s products) is a great way
to make money online.
Yet, it is still a business, and the
same rules apply to affiliate
marketing � you need to find
people who need what you are
selling.
The best way to be a successful
affiliate is to create your own
website, provide information to get
people ready to buy, and then
encourage them visit the programs
you are representing.
How do you do this, without
spending a fortune on advertising?
1) Learn how to get free traffic
from search engines
Search Engine Optimization (SEO)
means getting the search engines
(like Google and Yahoo) to place
your website at the top of the
rankings. Getting �free
advertising� from the search
engines is great. However, it is not
easy, and it does take some time.
The key is make your site the best
possible site for your theme �
tricks and scams may provide you
with an instant �boost� but this
rarely lasts (and sometimes even gets you
banned permanently!) Over the past few years, I�ve made lots of money by having high rankings � and I've lost money when myrankings have fallen. It�s part of
the process, so you shouldn�t count only on free traffic from the search engines.
2) Create your own newsletter By creating your own newsletter, you can contact each person who signs up more than once, increasing your chance for a sale. Don�t have any ideas for a newsletter? How about a fre e course. Or monthly tips about the topic of your website. Sign up for a few newsletters in your industry to get an idea of how other websites maintain this important relationship with their current � and future � customers!
3) Write articles
Writing articles provides you with
several benefits at the same time
� by writing an article you are
positioning yourself as an expert
when your article is published, you
get a link back to your site (which
helps SEO; you can promote your
newsletter so you can contact
readers more than once. You
don�t need to have your article
published in USA Today to get
these benefits. In fact, getting your
articles listed in an article directory
(such ashttp://ezinearticles.com can help you get listed in more specialized websites, newsletters, and magazines, helping you reach the right people!
4) Place newsletter, magazine,
& newspaper ads
When spending money on ads,
especially for the first time, start
out small. It�s very easy to spend
a ton of money, without getting
any responses (a tough lesson
many advertisers learn the hard
way!) Email newsletters or ezines
are a great way to start (start with
the ones in your industry that you
subscribed to in order to get ideas
for your newsletter above). Make
sure you offer something valuable
� like your newsletter � to get as many people to respond as possible.
5) Watch out for scams!
Buying 10,000 visitors for only
$29.95. Submitting your website to
150 search engines for $19.99.
Getting your site listed #1 on all
the search engines for just $50.
Most of these sound very
tempting, especially when you are
just starting out. Unfortunately,
most of these are great ways to
drain your bank account very
quickly � and make other people
rich.
So learn from the real experts how
to build your online business: sign
up for newsletters http://highrankings.com is a great resource), read the forumshttp://Dreamteammoney.com, read articles http://EzineArticles.com. Yes, you can make money online. So, get started, keep learning and trying, and don�t ever give up!
1) Writing Articles
Write articles based on your
affiliate program or products and
submitting it to article directories.
When your article is published, you
get a link back to your site (which
helps on SEO). People who are
searching on informations on that
program/products might just
stumble upon your articles and this
will in turn provide targeted traffic
too.
2) Using Pay Per Click
Advertising
PPC programs such as Google
Adwords, Yahoo Search Marketing,
and MSN Adcenter gets you highly
targeted traffic. Only those who
are searching for your products get
to see them. This is turn provides
higher conversion rate. Ensure that
proper keyword research and
bidding is done before placing any
ads.
3) Distribute Free Reports And
Include Your Affiliate Products
When you write and distribute free
e-books, people usually check the
sites or products that you
recommend. Create original e-books and
present unique ideas there and include the product that you market as one of your
recommended ones. After finishing the e-books, give them out for free. Again, only put affiliate links that you think will interest the readers.
4) Generate Leads From An
Opt-In Email List
Create an opt-in mailing list by
allowing prospects who come to
your website to choose to receive a
free newsletter. This gives you the
opportunity to include informations
in the newsletter about your affiliate products.
5) Purchasing Advertisements
on Forums Or Related Sites
You can use this method to just
generate traffic to your landing
page where people will sign up for
more information. You will then be
able to program your autoresponder to send out informations your prospects and
they will in turn visit your affiliate
product links. Signing up for a program is the easy part. You know have to promote your affiliate program. Below are the top 10 ways to promote a program. While they
may not all be suited for you, there
will be 1-2 ways that gets you 80%
of all your traffic:
Join Related Forums and
Discussion Groups
Once you have a product or 2 in
mind find a related forum about
the topic and join it. Once you
begin to regularly post you can add
a link in your signature to your
affiliate product or own review page. While not the most popular method this can give you a steady stream of visitors.
Pay Per Click Networks
This is the fastest way to get in the
game, but can also be the most
expensive. Google, Yahoo, and
MSN are the most popular
networks for PPC strategies and if
you have never used PPC, we
suggest you start slow! This can
burn your money fast, but you can
target visitors who are ready to
"buy"!
Write a Honest Review or Endorsement
Writing a review of your product
can boost your conversions. I would
suggest you be honest, it is all the
more convincing. If you don't have
your own website, you can always
write an article and post them in
popular article directories.
Build Your Own Parallel Site
This is once you feel the product
will be profitable and is more of a
long term investment. Building
your own site will give you much
more control on what you do with
your visitors. You can capture their
names in an opt-in list, or write a
review like previously mentioned.
There are no limits what you can
do with your own website, and it is
highly suggested you get one!
Dominate the Search Engines
Now that you have your own
website, you can focus on
keywords for your product and
begin to optimize for them. Over
time this strategy can have huge
payoffs because all the organic
traffic you receive is free!
Rent Other People's Lists
Webmasters with large lists often
will rent them to other people. Or if
they have an ezine newsletter you
can advertise in them for a small
fee. The key to this is to make sure
the list is as targeted as possible. If
you are selling an acne product,
make sure the list is focused on
skin care or ideally acne
treatment.
Write Articles
The best thing about writing
articles is that it is free! However,
this will be the most time
consuming thing if done by
yourself. What many people do is
outsource the article writing and
then place their affiliate links
within them once they are posted.
The best article directories are:
ezinearticles, go articles, buzzle,
article city, and article dashboard.
Buy Banner Ad's or Text Ads
Contrary to popular belief, banner
ads are not dead. Just take a look
at the front page of yahoo or cnn.
Banner ads! Of course you will
need to have a product that gives
out free banners and creatives.
Then you need to find a targeted
website and contact them for
pricing. This can be a major
windfall if done right. Targeting a
website with 50,000 visitors a day
can get you massive leads.
However, you will want to start
slow.
Create a Free Report
This goes back to owning your own
website. You can offer a free report
about your product and give it
away for free! Of course you will
want to place your affiliate links
inside the report. If it is a unique
and popular report it can spread
like wildfire! Have Fun!
Last be not least is have fun!
Affiliate marketing is a process and
will take time to master. But once
you get the hang of it it can pay
huge dividends! So stick with a few
programs, be disciplined, learn,
and make some $$$!
Affiliate programs give us an
opportunity to make money with
little to no money at all.
What we need is eyeballs on your
affiliate url site. The more eyeballs
you have on your website, the
more chance you will have to make
a good income with affiliate program.
1.) Build your email list.
Building your email list is
important for any marketer. Do not
only promote and sell them
programs or product only. Make
sure you keep in touch with them
and educate them on the latest
methods to make money online
today. Soon you will find loyal
email database and when you
recommend any product, you can
sell it to them easily.
2.) Advertise on GPT and get paid
to read emails type of program
Advertising your affiliate program
links on GPT or get paid to read
emails are good ways to expose
your links out there. Remember
the more eyeballs, the more
money you will make.
3.) Building SEO for your program.
This is a long term time
investment, We all know that
search engines gives us most free
traffic and is one of the thing every
marketer should look into. Buy a
new domain name related to the
affiliate program you are
promoting and start doing SEO for
that site. Use related keywords
and build as many backlinks as
possible.
I hereby wish you good luck
promoting your affiliate programs.
It is not hard to make money from
the internet. You just need to use
time and effort to do it.
Procrastination will get you
nowhere.

7 WAYS TO INCREASE YOUR
AFFILIATE COMMISSION
Affiliate program promotion is a
most rewarding and easy way of
earning money online. You dont
have to be very knowledgeable or
experienced, to be successful at
affiliate marketing. This is a great
way of earning residual income.
Many people dont make the sort of
commissions that can be made
with affiliate marketing. It would
help to understand the different
routes one can take to earn huge
affiliate commissions.
Article writing and distribution
With article writing, you can
promote your affiliate programs
very effectively and earn money.
High quality and informative
articles should be submitted to all
the good article directories, like
Ezine articles, which has a high PR.
These articles will appear on
search engines like Google, when
people search for information
related to your article. Writing
articles and having a link to your
website in the signature box helps
drive huge amounts of traffic to
your website, as long as you
ensure your articles are attention-
grabbing and your bio has a strong
call to action. Just make doubly
sure not to link directly to the
affiliate product, as many top
directories don’t allow this. its
best to have your own website.
Since you are going to be
advertising your affiliate link on
the website, there will be a huge
increase in the number of sales
and the end result is an increase in
your affiliate commissions.
Multiple keywords in articles
Having multiple keywords related
to your affiliate program in the
articles, helps you rank higher in
the search engines like Google for
those keywords. If your affiliate
program is related to making
money online, you can have
keywords like make money from
home,make money working online,
make money working from home,
earn money online etc. When
people who are looking to make
money online, type any of the
related key phrases, your article
will show up at the top of the
search engine. If you rank high for
at least 3 key phrases related to
your business instead of just one
key phrase, your traffic will
increase tremendously and so will
your affiliate commissions. This is a
very powerful technique that will
certainly increase your affiliate
commission.
Ad campaign personalization
To earn more commissions from
affiliate programs, it would help to
offer your visitors something more
than just the affiliate program. Do
not ever rely solely on your affiliate
program website as a good way of
promotion. Personal touch matters
and will help get you more affiliate
commissions in the long run. You
can make a list of the particular
market products and see what
people are looking for. Do not refer
them directly to the merchants
website. It would do good to give
something like a quick start guide
to gain the visitors attention. Many
people may not know much about
the affiliate program being
promoted by you, so your guide,
which will explain things will be
helpful. This gives a feeling that
you care. This will sky rocket the
affiliate sales.
Creating a blog
How does a blog help? Having a
blog on your website means fresh
content on the website. Fresh
content drives traffic to the
website. Have reviews of the
affiliate products on the blog and
also your affiliate links. People will
read these reviews and click on
the links, thus increasing affiliate
commissions through an increase
in affiliate sales. You can also aim
at having a separate blog, where
you have fresh content and
redirect visitors to your website.
Targeting the right market
You should aim at advertising your
affiliate products to the right
market. Advertising your acne
affiliate product to an IM niche will
not yield good results. The most
cost effective way of getting the
right people to your affiliate
product is finding forums related to
your affiliate product or social
networking sites targeted at the
correct niche. These are the places
where your market is usually
found. This will bring targeted
traffic to your affiliate product,
which will result in more sales.
Creating a list and ezine
Creating a mailing list is very
crucial to being a successful
affiliate. Once you have a mailing
list, an ezine becomes a powerful
way of promoting your affiliate
program to your subscribers. Bring
out an ezine that is related to the
affiliate program you are promoting. You can have an ezine sent out weekly, where you will be promoting affiliate product related to the content of the ezine. Over a
period of time, since these people
are used to getting some good info
from you, they will begin trusting
you, and in turn look at products
being promoted by you. This is a
great way of increasing affiliate
commissions.
Cloaking affiliate links
This may not be a direct way of
increasing affiliate sales, but a way
of ensuring that you dont lose any
sales. Yes, losing sales is common
in the affiliate business. It is also
considered to be very
unprofessional displaying affiliate
IDs. By cloaking, I mean that you
do not display the affiliate ID that
is used to get you commissions. If
you have a website, you dont have
to worry about this, but if you dont,
then there are several ways of
cloaking your affiliate IDs.
One way is to buy a domain name
related to the product that you are
promoting and then using domain
forwarding to mask the affiliate
links. Alternatively, you will find
software that masks the affiliate
links for you. You will find plenty of
such softwares if you search on
Google. There are also several free
cloaking sites that help you cloak
your links for free.
By following the above steps for
promoting your affiliate programs,
you will see your commissions
increase and you will start making
money through affiliate programs
immediately.
These are some other info that i
dug out which will help the
formites
When you watch a football game
on TV, you can easily see how
games are won or lost in the battle
that takes place on the line of
scrimmage. Offensive plays are
designed to protect the
quarterback and/or to open up
holes in the defense so that
yardage can be gained.
Defensive plays are designed to
sack the quarterback or close holes
that would allow yardage to be
gained. Quarterbacks and coaches
get the credit for wins and blame
for losses but the battle is won or
lost in the trenches.
Affiliate marketing is a lot like a
football game just without the
bruises and sore muscles. An
affiliate marketer must design
offensive plays and defensive
plays that will put him in a position
to win the affiliate wars.
When you are one of many
marketers who are trying to sell
the very same product to the very
same consumers, you had better
have a plan to get at least your fair
share of the market or more.
Every niche market on the Internet
is competitive. If it isn’t
competitive then there can’t
possibly be much of a customer
base to sell to. That is just the
nature of all Internet marketing
and in every niche.
So, you ask, what is it that I can do
that will assure that my customers
will buy from me? The answer is
just one word... unique!
You have to be unique. You have to
offer something that sets you
completely apart from your
competitors. You have to make
your offer for a product or service
for which you are an affiliate more
attractive to buy from you than it is
to buy from you competitors.
If you simply send out a marketing
email advertising a product or
service that you are an affiliate
marketer for, you need to
remember that there are dozens
or maybe even hundreds of other
marketers who are sending out
marketing email advertising the
exact same product or service and
many of them are sending them to
the same people that you are. You
have to do something to make
sure that your customers buy from
you...you have to be unique.
There are several ways to achieve
uniqueness. One way is to have
established yourself as an expert
in the field for which the product or
service is being sold. You have to
have become not only visible but
credible, as well. This visibility and
credibility is not easily achieved. It
takes a lot of hard work, time and effort.
Visibility and credibility are
established by taking such
measures as writing and marketing articles and E-Books, posting to blogs and forums,
appearing as an expert on teleseminars and webinars, etc.
The fact is that when people know
you and trust you, they buy from
you. They will buy from you even is your competitors are offering a better deal or more incentives. People do not like to buy from strangers. The Internet is a big
impersonal and even frightening
place to many consumers. They
want to feel like they know and
trust the people that they buy
products and services from. The
time, effort and energy that you
put into becoming visible and
credible is the best time, effort
and energy investment that you
will ever make. Reputation is
everything in the world of Internet
marketing. Credibility makes you
unique.
Add extras! Add free gifts! Even
better than extras and free gifts is
additional help to use the product
or service that is being sold. You
can offer a free teleseminar for
those who buy the product or
service from you that will make the
product or service better or easier
to use.
You can most likely even get the
producer or the product or service
to speak at your event if you plan
far enough ahead. People just love
teleseminars... and they love
free...when you add teleseminar
and free together, you will have a
winning play that might just score
the proverbial touchdown for you.
with all thess informations if
followed promptly will lead to a
successful money making life.
