Easy Affiliate Marketing

Promoting affiliate programs is one of the easiest

ways to get into business online. No need to worry

about products to create, package and price. No need

to worry about building a complete website either.

Just send people to the seller.

Can’t get much easier than that! In fact, check out a

couple quick and easy resources and strategies that

can help with your affiliate sales.

Splash Page / Ezine / Ads

No, you don’t need a website, but how about a page to

capture names and email addresses for your own use,

before you send visitors off to the seller? This way

you can get a chance to build a relationship with

your prospects and buyers for repeat attempts at that

first close and on to additional or repeat sales in

the future, and referrals.

Make the best of your opportunities by  either

seeking professional web page building help or doing

it yourself. Head to Elance.com to post your project

and hire help, for example.  Or grab a library book

or surf the Internet for help creating your own HTML

page, or see about using software like Microsoft

Frontpage or an online company like GoDaddy.com to

build.

When people subscribe to your splash page above,

start sending them a weekly newsletter or ezine.

Include content about what you are trying to sell, a

feature or review article, for instance, on the

product. And insert your affiliate link to the

product you’re promoting with a digital photo or

other graphic or banner, if possible, in full color.

Mix in some other advertising throughout your ezine

promotions for extra return on investment (ROI) of

your invested interest, time, energy and marketing.

Popular strategies include using programs like Google

Adsense and Clickbank products.

For a plug-in system with all the above and more,

other opportunities all rolled into one with only

set up.

Articles / Audio / Video

Write and submit articles about your affiliate

products to online article directories and offline

media (magazines, newspapers, newsletters, TV,

radio). And include a link to your splash page in

your byline or article, if possible. Then spice up

your articles, splash page and ezine with multimedia,

adding links to your audio / video content.
