5 Steps To Becoming a Cash Magnet, Work-At-Home, Affiliate Marketer Without
Spending Boat Loads of Cash!
by Ken Shorey
Affiliate marketing continues to be an excellent way to earn a
substantial income. You've heard the usual rundown of attributes that make
affiliate marketing advantageous. They include not having to own or create
your own product, not having to speak to any customers, and not having to
develop and maintain your own website. Although all these things are true,
what most people fail to place an emphasis on is that you be a successful
affiliate marketer, you have to know how to sell!
Work at home, affiliate marketing success is absolutely hinged upon this
simple premise; Advertise Low/Sell High. You must keep your advertising
costs low and your profit margins high. In this short article, I am going to
provide you with 5 steps that will help you blast your affiliate commissions
through the rook while keeping your advertising costs low.
1. Make Use of Blogs and RSS Feeds: Blogging can be a very lucrative and
free way to advertise affiliate programs. Simply place a banner or link to
the product you are advertising along with a short review of the product,
plus other relevant, and interesting posts. Now that you've created your
blog, you need to bring traffic to it. This is how you do it. First optimize
your blog just like you would any other website. If you need help on search
engine optimization, just do a search on the Internet, you'll find plenty of
free resources. Next submit your site to the top blog directories, acquire
back links, and remember to post relevant and meaningful information often.
Concerning RSS. If you use Blogger, they will provide a RSS link for you
for free. Simply submit it the top RSS directories as well and place a
chicklet on your blog, so that interested readers can subscribe if they need
to.
2. Write Free Articles: Free articles are another excellent way to earn
affiliate commissions without spending any money. Simply find a product your
would like to sell and write a short, informative article on the topic. Be
careful not to make it a sales pitch, but something that will benefit the
reader. Be sure to create a small ad that speaks about the product you are
promoting and place this in your resource box. This is where you plug your
product. Note: Some article directories do not allow affiliate links, so you
may want to create a blog to promote your product, create an actual website
or buy a domain and simply forward it to whatever product you are selling.
3. Ask For More Information: This is a very powerful and simple technique
that can be used to jumpstart your affiliate earnings without monetary
investment. Here's how it works. Go and visit some of the top classified
sites on the Internet. Simply do a search on Google, Yahoo or MSN, if you
aren't familiar with any. Visit the work-at-home, and business opportunity
sections. Write down their email addresses and simply request more
information. But before you do, write your email signature as a small ad.
Never attempt to sell them anything in the body of your email, this might be
considered spam. Just simply ask for more information and create an enticing
tag line as your email signature. You may want to create a separate email
account for this.
4. Purchase Offline Classified Ads: You can purchase space in Thrifty
Nickel Ads rather cheaply. Try to find a niche that isn't overrun such as
work-at-home or business opportunities. You can place your ad online, but
I've found that if I can save nearly 50% if I purchase the ad space in
person, or if you mail in your payment. Call them first and ask them how
much the ad will cost if you mail in your payment.
5. Go Viral: Create a small, free e-book, roughly 5-10 pages on a topic
relevant to what you are selling. Place your affiliate link somewhere in the
book. Then submit your e-book to popular free ebook directories. You can
find a ton of them by doing a search on the Internet for "free e--book
directories. You'll find a bunch.
There you have it, 5 simple steps to help you skyrocket your affiliate
commissions and work-at-home with little or no budget. What are you waiting
for? It's time to get started. Get to work already!
