target audience.

affiliate programs, write short report related to the
product you are promoting. Give out these reports or short
ebooks freely from your site.

Your reports should provide some valuable information for
free and some recommendations about the products that you
promoting. Ebooks provide credibility of you to customers.

try out what you are offering.

downloaded your reports and ebooks. You can make send out
emails to build relationship and follow-ups on these
contacts to remind them to make a purchase from you. Your
emails should provide value to prospects.  Get the contact
information of a prospect before sending them to the
vendor’s website. Do not send the prospect directly to the
product sites. You get paid only when you make a sale. If
you send prospects directly to the vendors, chances are
they would be lost to you forever. But when you get their
names, you can always send other marketing messages to them
to be able to earn an ongoing commission instead of a
one-time sale only.

recommend a product to someone you know than to sell to a
stranger. This is the purpose behind publishing your own
newsletter. This also allows you to develop a relationship
based on trust with your subscribers.

This strategy is a delicate balance between providing
useful information with a sales pitch. If you continue to
write informative editorials you will be able to build a
sense of reciprocity in your readers that may lead them to
support you by buying your products.

affilate programs owners. Once you are already successful
with a particular promotion, you should try and approach
the owners to negotiate a good percentage commission for
your sales.

owners. The affiliate program owners will likely grant your
request if they do not want to lose a valuable marketer
like you. Do not be shy about requesting for addition in
your commissions and try to be reasonable commission.

engine is the most effective means of advertising online.
As an affiliate, you can make a small income just by
managing PPC campaigns such as Google AdWords and Overture.
