Operate A Niche Blog
There’s no better method
for promoting products than a blog. Naturally, you can do the same thing in a
newsletter, but that only gets read by those individuals who are already on
your mailing list.
With a blog, you can reach
an unlimited number of people who would be interested in the type of products
you’re promoting.
Of course, you can’t
simply use the blog to sell things. You have to provide valuable and useful
content, something that will not only make people listen, but will have them
returning on a regular basis.
The easiest content - at
least for anyone who relies on affiliate sales - is simply to provide product
reviews. If, for example, you promote various pet supplies and training ebooks,
you could create a blog for that particular niche and then include in-depth
reports about different aspects of individual products.
You could also give tips
and advice with regard to using any of the products. Or you could provide ideas
on how the products can best be utilized. You could even ask readers to offer
their own opinions and recommendations.
In most instances, these
types of postings will spur comments from viewers, which in turn will spur
comments from other viewers. And of course, the more comments that get posted,
the more interest will be generated overall.
You can use blog software
or you can simply sign up with one of the free online blog services. The most
popular one is Blogger, located at http://www.blogger.com.

Write Articles
There’s no better way to
get personal recognition than writing and distributing your own articles. And
once you establish recognition, all of your product endorsements will be taken
even more seriously.
When it comes to choosing
topics for your articles, always pick something that is directly related to at
least one of the products you’re promoting. That way you can recommend the
product and include your affiliate link right there within the article.
And make certain you take
full advantage of the author’s resource box…
If you have a primary
sales website, where you promote affiliate products, include that link. If you
have a blog where you review products, include that link as well. Or, if you
have a newsletter and would prefer to solicit more subscribers, direct readers
to the page that gives them all the necessary publication and signup
information.
Once you’ve written
articles, you need to submit them to as many online directories as you can. And
always let people know that your articles are free to re-publish as long as no
changes are made and the resource box is included.
Here are three of the most
popular article directories…
