1. Participate in chat rooms related to the product
you're reselling. Start a conversation with a person without trying
to sell to them. Later on, while you are chatting, mention the product
you're reselling.
2. Create a free ebook with the advertisement and
link of your affiliate web site. The subject of the free ebook should
draw your target audience to down- load it. Also submit it to some
ebook directories.
3. Start your own affiliate program directory. Join
a large number of affiliate programs and list them all in a directory
format on your web site. Then just advertise your free affiliate program
directory.
4. Write your own affiliate program ads. If all the
other affiliates use the same ads you do, that does not give you an
edge over your competition. Use a different ad to give yourself an
advantage over all the other affiliates.
5. Use a personal endorsement ad. Only use one if
you've actually bought the product or service for the affiliate program.
Tell people what kind of benefits and results you've received using
the product.
6. Advertise the product you're reselling in your
signature file. Use an attention getting headline and a good reason
for them to visit your affiliate site. Make sure your sig file doesn't
go over 5 lines.
7. Join a web ring. It should attract the same type
of people that would be interested in buying the product you're reselling.
You could also trade links on your own with other related web sites.
8. Participate on web discussion boards. Post your
comments, answer other people's questions, and ask your own questions.
Include your affiliate text link under each message you post.
9. Create a free ezine. Use your ezine to advertise
the affiliate programs you've joined. Submit your ezine to online
ezine directories and promote it on your web site.
10. Start a private web site. Use it as a free bonus
if people buy the product you resell. You could also allow people
to join for free and you could advertise the affiliate program you've
joined.
