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.

Start a free e-book club on your web site. People
could sign up to receive a free e-book from you each
month. Just include your product’s ads in the e-books.
Allow them to give away the free e-books too. All
those e-books floating around will increase your
traffic and sales.



Offer a search option on your web site. People
will stay longer because it gives them the option of
searching through your web site using keywords.
They also won't get frustrated when they can't find
something. It's a good idea if you have an organized
navigation bar.


Add an archive of past e-zine issues to your web
site. Your new subscribers will visit your web site to
read the past issues that they've missed. Your old
subscribers might want to look up some information
or ads they remembered seeing in your e-zine.


Allow your visitors to collect things from your
web site so they will stop back again and again.
It could be a series of software, e-books or articles.
People like to collect things because it's a goal. It
makes them feel good because every time they
collect a new item, they are fulfilling their goal.


Use pop-up windows or advertisements on your
web site. They grab your visitor's attention because
they jump right out at them. For example, you could
use one to get people to subscribe to your free
e-zine. Another example, you could offer them a
surprise bonus for buying in the next few minutes
with a timer counting down.


Use your free bonuses to create an urgency for
your visitors to buy. Only offer them for a limited
time with your main product. For example, you
could say, “Order before midnight tonight and get
4 FREE bonuses!” Another example, “Order by
June 25, 2002 and get a Free Advertising E-book!”


Learn sales ideas from reading and studying other
businesses’ advertising and marketing material. It
could be ads, brochures, TV ads, sales letters, etc.
For example, if you see an attention-getting headline,
rewrite it but don't copy it for your own product.
Another example, if you seen an ad with a
persuasive ‘before’ and ‘after’ picture, maybe you
could do that for your own product.


Offer a free trial or sample of your product. This
increases the perceived value because people think
you're confident in your product, so it must be good.
For example, if people just see an ad, they really
don't know what you are selling. But if they can test
a sample, then they feel more confident in ordering.


Give visitors a positive experience when they're
at your web site. Provide them with original content
and free things. They'll tell all of their friends about it.
You could also persuade them to tell their friends
about it by starting an affiliate program. It could pay
per sale, per click or per lead.
