Powerful Way To Build Your List While Generating Revenue From Affiliate Programs

Affiliate programs are not only a great way to start an
online business but also a smart way to develop a second
income stream from your existing online business.

But to be really successful with affiliate programs or any
online business for that matter, it is vital that you build
your own opt-in list in the process.

Making a living by placing ads for affiliate programs is not
just profitable anymore.

Here's some tips that'll not only increase the conversion
ratio of your affiliate programs, but will also build your
list in the process.

GIVING AWAY FREE REPORTS/E-BOOKS

Most affiliate programs will have free reports/e-books to
promote their program.

You can create a one page mini web site giving away the
free reports/e-books. BUT, the only way your visitors should
be able to access them is by giving away their e-mail
addresses.

Here's an example of how I get subscribers to my list while
promoting one of my affiliate programs...

This is how you should promote any affiliate program.

GIVING AWAY FREE COURSES THROUGH FOLLOW-UP AUTORESPONDER

The idea behind this approach is to *pre-sell* to your
visitors. As put in Ken's words (Ken of Make Your Site
Sell!)...

Being A Great Affiliate Is *Not* About Selling...
...It's About Pre-Selling

Once you pre-sell, selling becomes easier. Free courses not
only do that but *also* follows-up with your prospects.

Here's how to craft your own course...

Most affiliate programs will have a good collection of
articles to include in your e-zine/newsletters.

Select some 3-4 real *good* articles and compile them in to
a 3-4 day course. Your conversion ratio will directly depend
upon the value of courses offered.

You can use a free no-ad autoresponder service like
http://www.freeautobot.com or http://www.sendthisfree.com to
deliver the course.
