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 / AdsNo, you don't 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 you're 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.
