What are the BEST ways to promote your own affiliate program?
Recently we had a discussion on DP forums. This is what we go in the end to answer this particular question. Ways to promote your own affiliate program:
- Create a good sales page first (with own domain, SEO-optimized), Get feedbacks on on TFC or DP forums from more experienced fellow internet marketers.
- Create several Blogs covering your niche to increase your SE ranking. Link to your sales page. SEO fine tunning is important.
- Make a viral ebook
- Use affiliate directories where you can list your program on
- Search for email lists regarding your niche. You could use following methods to get into a newsletter without knowing the author pesonally:
- Give him a preview of the product/service for free if they will review it in their newsletter
- Offer him an extra incentive (i.e. more money) if they promote your product from beginning (launch).
- Offer them to give his list members an extra bonus/discount
- Pay for an ad
- Pay for advertising in places where webmasters gather
- Try forum advertising, Adwords, and in the end compare results.
Hi! My name's Luke. I make a living online. Mainly with affiliate marketing. That's the big share on top of the smaller adsense income earned by my blogs. It's big bucks for me and maybe 100x a normal salary here, as I'm travelling and living in Thailand since 2 months now. I mostly work the mornings in small internet shops, like hang out im the afternoons getting tanned and enjoy the nights partying and having fun with friends. I just love this lifestyle. Maybe you can join me soon? :-)
