1 Tested Internet Marketing Strategy To Make Money Online With Affiliate Programs

It is surprising to me how many people join affiliate programs and never earning money. There really is no excuse for this because if you do one thing correctly you can make money online as an affiliate marketer.

In this article let's talk about one successful Internet marketing strategy you can use to be one of the people who really does make money with affiliate programs.

1. Build a email list. When I first got into affiliate marketing back in 2002 I almost immediately understood the importance of building an email list.

If you've done any type of off-line direct mail marketing you can appreciate how great it is to not lick stamps and seal envelopes. Being able to reach people with the click of one button is the greatest invention in the history of marketing in my opinion.

You need to do in an autoresponder company to start building your email list. I personally like Aweber and Get Response.

These companies have a proven track record and do a great job of getting the email messages into your subscribers inbox. Jump start your email list by purchasing co-registration leads.

Get Response puts them directly into your autoresponder for you. There are many good co-reg. lead services you can find on Google.

Another thing to do is send traffic to your website and capture people's name and email address. A good way to do this is place your sign up form above the fold on all of your web pages.

Put your sign up form at the top of your sidebar in your blog and it automatically shows up on every blog post you make. In both of these instances you will need to host your own website as opposed to using the affiliate website provided for you.

I like to use Host Gator because of how easy it is to build websites using the Fantastico WordPress blogging platform. I buy domain names from GoDaddy and transfer the name servers to Host Gator. This is very easy to do and they will help you if you need it.

Building a landing page in promoting it is a good strategy. If you do article marketing, or advertise with traffic exchanges, promoting a landing page is a proven Internet marketing strategy.

Once you start getting subscribers you will want to follow up with them. It is a good idea to set up a series of autoresponder messages in advance. You can then begin to drip useful information on your subscribers over time and they will get to know and trust you.

You can put affiliate links in autoresponder email messages without any problems. If the affiliate URL looks too bulky you can shorten it using a service such as Tiny Url.

As your list continues to grow you can mail out offers to it anytime you want. When you find new affiliate products you like you just tell your list about it by sending out a quick email.

It really is possible to earn a full-time living just doing email marketing. Many online marketers join multiple niches and sell affiliate products to email lists they build.
