Affiliate marketing is truly one of the most powerful and simple online models for generating massive cash quickly; in fact, you can get started right away without the hassle of creating your own products or websites.
While there are numerous factors to consider in the affiliate marketing industry, one of the most common questions I receive from newer marketers is, "Ewen, How Do I Promote My Affiliate Link?"
Here are seven effective strategies you can use right now to promote any affiliate program:
==> #1: Create Your Own Opt-In List
If you already have an opt-in list, this is obviously the quickest way to get started. However, I'd like to share some ideas with you in order to maximize the response and results you wouldn't otherwise get if you didn't use them.
It's always a good idea to offer time-sensitive bonuses to entice your list to purchase through your affiliate link. It always has worked and will continue to work.
You should also send at least three follow-up mailings, as statistics show that your second and third mailings will generate the most sales.
What if you don't even have a list to begin with?
The most logical course of action would be to start working on your own money-making list right away. http://www.ewenchia.com/listsecrets.htm contains a comprehensive course on how to build and profit from your own opt-in list.
Another option is to use a'second-rate' method... ==> Other People's Lists (Tactic #2)
What exactly do I mean? Ezine advertising, particularly solo ads, is a quick way to leverage on someone else's list.
Aside from advertising the affiliate program, you want to build your own list, as you would with any other type of advertising. Using a catchy one-two sentence signature file after your name is a simple way to do this while promoting the affiliate program.
The most effective advertising is to pre-qualified targeted lists of like-minded people, particularly those with money to spend. While these are uncommon and even more difficult to find, an excellent resource can be found at http://www.ewenchia.com/ultimatetraffic.htm.
==> Google AdWords is the third strategy.
With pay-per-click advertising, particularly Google AdWords, you can begin promoting any affiliate program in less than 15 minutes.
Google's policies regarding affiliate product advertising on Google AdWords have changed since January 6th, 2005.
Without going into tedious details, you can still promote affiliate programs by using landing pages that are tailored to the affiliate program you're promoting.
I won't go over how to use Google AdWords in "Striking Affiliate Gold" again because I've already done so in detail. The manual is available for download at http://undergroundsalesletters.com/strikegold.pdf ==> Article Marketing is tactic number four.
This is one strategy you should implement right away because it works.
I've made a lot of affiliate sales solely through articles. In fact, one of my articles generated over 25 affiliate sales on autopilot in just over 3 days.
The key to effective article writing is to provide relevant information and tips. Make certain that it does not sound like a sales pitch. Any suggestions you make should add value to the article. The recommendation should not be the primary goal.
I won't go over information I've already covered. Download these two eye-opening reports if you want to use articles as an affiliate promotional tool. I've written the following:

==> 5th Strategy: Make Use of Existing Web Pages
There are three main approaches to this...
One option is to simply promote your affiliate programs on your website's most heavily trafficked and relevant pages. Examine your website statistics to see which pages are being visited the most. These are excellent target areas for your promotions, particularly if they are related to the affiliate product in question.
Two, on your thank you pages, recommend affiliate products. After a visitor makes a purchase from you or signs up for your ezine, all you have to do is prominently place a short recommendation of an affiliate product on the thank you page.
Third, make use of your personalized error (404) pages as affiliate marketing tools. This is the page that appears when visitors enter an incorrect URL or extension; instead of wasting this space, why not use it to promote an affiliate product?
==> Exit Traffic Capture on Demand (Tactic #6)
You can quickly increase affiliate sales by promoting your affiliate programs through an exit window or pop up window.
While there are popup killers available, you'd be surprised how many people actually use them - I don't.
Pop ups, particularly exit pop ups, continue to produce positive results. Stick to one tasteful pop-up that is tailored to your visitors, and you'll see great results. Other Quick And Simple Tips (Tactic #7)
In your 'thank you emails,' include affiliate product recommendations.
This is a no-brainer; whether you're thanking someone for joining your ezine or purchasing a product, always include an affiliate recommendation for a targeted product that you've personally found useful.
As a form of follow-up preselling, you can also create autoresponder courses on topics related to the affiliate program you're promoting.
That's all for now, and I hope you found this article useful. If you're curious, you can read the FULL article here.
