Advertising Methods for Affiliate Programs
It is always known that of course the most money comes from having your own product instead of an affiliate program. Decide whichever works best for you.
I would like to explain in detail the various methods to help you to accomplish getting sales through whichever affiliate programs you currently use or are considering.
In the beginning any affiliate program takes allot of motivation in order to make any money at it. You either need to determine whether you would like repeat customers that kept coming back to order more things from you through the affiliate program or if you could like to get new customers all the time instead of return customers. Perhaps you want both.
Promotion. The most important thing to do is to always promote your website somehow whether it is through snail mail or just online. You can print your website address on stationery paper or envelopes or whichever else. Another good idea is to stuff like pens, notepads, etc. available from your website for purchase that has your website address on it so they can remember your website address easier.
Word of the mouth is the best advertising around. A friend tells a friend or a neighbor about your website. It is the best kind of advertising one can get is by word of mouth.
Get a website with your own domain name. This is the most important thing to do because you can put links or banners to your affiliate programs all on the same page. Make your website interesting. Put things on there such as freebies or something entertaining that makes people want to come back to visit your website.
Newspaper & Magazines. Those are also two great methods for advertising your website address. Classified ads work just fine too. The bigger the ad the more noticeable it is though.
Put a Signature Line In Your E-mail. You can put a signature line at the ends of your e-mails to people with a link to your website. Tell a little bit of information about your website.
Message Boards. Join certain message boards that is related to your website. If it okay with the owner of the message boards then make sure to put a link to your website at the end of your posts in the message board. If people see that you obviously have allot of knowledge about the product or something related to it then they will visit your website because they are interested.
Start a e-mail mailing list. Have people sign up for a mailing list on your website so they can get notified of new updates or changes to your website or whichever else. This is a good way to get visitors to come back to your website. Put new content on there throughout the week will keep your site looking new and even more interesting.
Advertise on your car. Your car is a great method to advertise your website for free while driving around running errands. It is also a tax write off. It is a good advertisement even if your car is just parked somewhere. People still notice the advertisement on it.
Attention. You only have a few seconds to get their attention. They decide within those few seconds if they are going to visit your website or not. Basically, you need to be able to write in one sentence what your website is about. Write a catchy line that is easy to remember or funny !
