The concept of affiliate marketing is great in many ways, for starters, you don't have to create a new product, sales letter, or provide customer support.
All of these tasks are done by the merchant. Another great reason in my opinion is that in this business you are not responsible for the ultimate sale of the product. Whether a product is sold-for a price or for full Purchase, you are not responsible for the final sales price of the product.
All you are doing is helping the merchant process their end of the business.
A great tool in helping you in this process is looking at some of the products with affiliate programs to see if there is a demand for it. Personally, I would always try to market a product personally first to see if there is a demand. bookmarking sites like digg and RSS feeds can be really helpful in really making a splash in search engines when you are actively promoting a certain product.
1. Sound like a gaining, positive and great value product. Are you sure you know the product you are trying to promote? V written up reviews about the product. Get great reviews from other fellow affiliates. Forums, Banner ads. Email marketing is great to but it takes time to build a list and there is a steep learning curve.
2. To find the best affiliate marketing programs for your product visit some of the affiliate program directories within the internet, these directories are wonderful to locate strong andBest Affiliate Marketing Programs.
3. Don't try to take more than 1 or 2 of your total of intending affiliate programs. Stick to what you have and once you have it.. Do not try to take on other promoting programs until you have everything else worked out. Build your strength and then try to take on other programs at the same time.
4. Build more sites, it will just help you to get what you want. Make sure all your sites are relevant to your particular niche.
5. Build more than 1 set of web pages. Build more than 1,000 sites total. Become a respected publisher with your own site. Build an email list with this site. Get more people to use your site as a way to opt-in to your email list. Send your subscribers freebies, discounts, and freebies. But make sure the quality of this free stuff is high.
