If you're having trouble making money from affiliate programs, or are looking
for ways to increase your existing income from them, here is a quick list to get
you going:
1. Learn how to PRE-sell your visitors instead of hard-selling them. Using
this technique will put your visitors in the right frame of mind to visit the
merchant's website and have a look at the product offerings.
2. Focus on one or two products and put all of your your effort into promoting
them. Your visitors aren't looking for a shopping mall, but rather a website
that has great information on their area of interest.
3. Purchase the products you are promoting. This will enable you to know first-hand
if the product is of high-enough quality to deserve your efforts, and will give
you the ability to provide an honest recommendation based on your own experience
with the product.
4. Create an email course and include your affiliate link in each email with
a recommendation on how that product will help your visitors. You will need
an autoresponder for this idea, and I recommend you use one of these:

5. Write articles and submit them to newsletter authors and article directories.
You can either include a recommendation for the product within the article,
or at the end in your author's resource box.
6. Add a few lines promoting an affiliate product in your signature that goes
out in all of your emails. Every email you send will have your advertisement
with your affiliate link in it.
7. Purchase a domain name strictly for the purpose of promoting your favorite
affiliate program. You can get more information on this at:

8. Create a mini site that focuses on only one affiliate program. Spend your
time promoting this site through search engine positioning, pay-per-click search
engines, ezine ads, etc.
9. Create an ebook with useful information on your chosen topic and give it
away. In your ebook you will have links to different affiliate products and
if any sales are made through them you will get the commissions. Make sure you
let other webmasters know they are free to give away your ebook as well so you
can get as many copies as possible out there.
10. And last but not least is to create your OWN product! Satisfied customers
will gladly purchase from you again in the future. If you don't have other products
to sell them, make recommendations of products that you can earn a commission
from through affiliate programs.
This is definitely not intended to be a comprehensive list, but if you apply
these techniques you can quickly start to see an increase in your affiliate
commissions!
