10 Ways To Increase Your Affiliate Commissions

1. Participate in chat rooms related to the product you're
reselling. Start a conversation with a person without trying
to sell to them. Later on, while you are chatting, mention
the product you're reselling.

2. Create a free ebook with the advertisement and link of
your affiliate web site. The subject of the free ebook should
draw your target audience to down-load it. Also submit it
to some ebook directories.

3. Start your own affiliate program directory. Join a large
number of affiliate programs and list them all in a directory
format on your web site. Then just advertise your free
affiliate program directory.

4. Write your own affiliate program ads. If all the other
affiliates use the same ads you do, that does not give you
an edge over your competition. Use a different ad to give
yourself an advantage over all the other affiliates.

5. Use a personal endorsement ad. Only use one if you've
actually bought the product or service for the affiliate
program. Tell people what kind of benefits and results
you've received using the product.

6. Advertise the product you're reselling in your signature
file. Use an attention getting headline and a good reason for
them to visit your affiliate site. Make sure your sig file
doesn't go over 5 lines.

7. Join a web ring. It should attract the same type of
people that would be interested in buying the product
you're reselling. You could also trade links on your own
with other related web sites.

8. Participate on web discussion boards. Post your
comments, answer other people's questions, and ask
your own questions. Include your affiliate text link under
each message you post.

9. Create a free ezine. Use your ezine to advertise the
affiliate programs you've joined. Submit your ezine to
online ezine directories and promote it on your web site.

10. Start a private web site. Use it as a free bonus if people
buy the product you resell. You could also allow people to
join for free and you could advertise the affiliate program
you've joined.

"The young man of native ability, (with) the will to work
and good personality will, in the long run, get the equivalent
of a college education in the tasks he will set for himself. If
he has ability and determination, he will find ways to learn
and to get ahead." -- Edward G. Seubert
