different, and tell everyone that you did it.
Think outside of the box, and do what others are not doing.
A normal misnomer within the minds of many affiliates is that they can only market the materials which are provided by the owner of the product which they are promoting.
While a product owner may have some stipulations regarding marketing, for the most part, alternative methods of affiliate marketing are accepted.
With this in mind, I am going to show you how you can operate outside of the box while promoting any affiliate program.
The number one thing that you can do to attract more customers is to create something of value, and give it away for free.
This something of value can be a free report.
I am sure that some of your are disappointed because developing a free report will require some time and effort.
However, you need to think long-term.
Once you create the report, you have it at your disposal to use over and over again.
The simplest way to write a free report is to focus on a basic list of between 6 to 8 tips, and provide information on each one.
If I were an affiliate promoting a book on interviewing tactics, I would write, "6 Things You Should Never Say In An Interview".
Then I would advertise the report to lead the reader to click my affiliate link, and get drawn in by the sales page.
Thereafter, you will want to get the visitor's e-mail address.
There are two ways to do this.
One way is to require that the visitor enter their name and e-mail address so that you can e-mail the free report to them.
The other way is to require that the visitor subscribe to your newsletter prior to downloading the free report.
One way or the other, you capture the individual's e-mail address, and are able to contact them in the future with additional offers.
Finally, let people know about your report using a press release.
Press releases are very straight forward.
Essentially, you need to cover, "Who, what, when, where, why, and how.
" You need to write to: 1.
The individual "who" benefits from the product.
2.
What information are your providing.
3.
"When" the information will be available.
4.
Where the information is (ie.
at your website).
5.
"Why" the report was written.
6.
How (ie.
how the report provides benefits to the reader).
Yes, I know that taking these steps will take some time and effort, but I am telling you that it is well worth it.
Just remember that with affiliate programs and affiliate networks, you get back what you put in.
This holds true for any method of making money online.
There is no such thing as passive income.
If you put in the work, you will be rewarded.
