3 Effective Affiliate Advertising Method

By Christopher Raine

So you're new to the world of affiliate marketing but have spent some time on getting yourself at least a basic education. You now understand the importance of having a system in place to build a long-term business model and have got your own website, opt-in form, free report,auto responder and follow up email messages all ready and waiting for visitors, just to realise that you have the most modest of advertising budgets to work with.

The question is what do you do next? Thankfully there are a number of options available that provide the opportunity to advertise your affiliate business without the need to spend a lot of money. Having said that it should also be remembered that although these free methods are very effective, it can take time to build momentum. However in the absence of money to advertise you need hard work and determination to succeed with whatever situation you find yourself with.

So lets take a look a t some of the free methods available to you:-

1.One of my personal favourites is that of writing articles, articles can be used in various ways. The first of which involves the writing of articles built around keywords associated with your product you are promoting. Your keyword should be contained no more than once per paragraph and once in your title as well, try and keep Your article to 300 to 500 words so that you maintain the readers interest.

At the bottom of the article you are allowed to do a little bit of advertising about the website you would like the reader to visit, this is known as your resource box and should be compelling so that your visitor clicks through to your website. You then submit your article to sites such as Ezine articles for example.

2.Blogging- the two main types of blogs are blogger.com and word press type blogs. My own preference is word press because I believe it provides me with more functionality, you need to have a domain name and hosting with word press but I believe the extra effort is worth it, many a resource is now available to show you how to use this platform.

So how does this work, your blog is like an on-line diary where you feature articles called blog posts, you can allow or block comments been made about your posts. If you allow comments you are building back links to your site that assist your blogs popularity. To start with you can post your articles submitted to article directories.

Other things you can do are:

1. Join Blogging communities like (MyBlogLog)

2. Use Social Networks like pingomatic, pin goat, feed shark, technorati, dig and much more.

3. You can leave comments on blogs associated with your niche.

Your blog can be used as your marketing hub directing links to your other sites and offers, just offer good quality and relevant content and you will build interest and traffic.

3. Forums-These are sites where like minded people swap comments on points of interest. Forums have different rules on what you can and cannot do, some will allow resource boxes where you can make small advertisements. However proceed carefully to begin with, the secret is not to oversell just enter into debates, answer forum, questions if you are an expert who can offer some thing to the conversation. In time you will find trust will grow and you will start seeing traffic results from your forum threads.

These are three of the most popular ways of driving free traffic to your site and represent just a small amount of a number of more free methods available. The purpose of the article is not to provide a comprehensive list, but to illustrate that whether you have a budget or not you can still find effective free methods to provide your site with visitors.
