Easy Affiliate Marketing
by Diana Barnum
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 dont 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 youre 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.

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.
