- Are you a Blogger: If you have a blog with good readership, all you do is put a banner or well-wrapped link of the affiliate product on your sidebar with your affiliate link. This is a very efficient method but ensure the products you promote can be guaranteed by you or can do what you say it can. Your blog projects your brand. You do not want to promote crap or fluff and expect people to respect your brand.
- Social Networks Will Greatly Help: Social network evolution is a phenomenon ready to change the way we've been marketing before now - you and I cannot deny that. Facebook has an estimated 600 million users while Twitter keeps coming behind with roughly 200 million subscribers. Now this is your golden chance.
- Article Marketing Really Rocks: Writing and submitting articles is the most utilized way of raking affiliate commissions and hear this - Do this right, and it will definitely work. Write an article related to your product and then submit it to various article directories. Beneath your article is the resource box where you can add hyperlinks of your choice. But the drawback is that most of the reputed Article Directories do not allow the use of affiliate links in your resource box. So, to get the most benefit, you have to first write about what you feel (kind of a review) of the selected affiliate product on your blog or elsewhere (where you can add your affiliate links) and then create a related or mini but informative article (this is important), for article directories, containing your review post's link in the resource box of that article.
