So you are looking for good and effective ways to promote affiliate products to earn commissions.

Only by working everyday, trying new methods and testing will you find the sweet method that works best for you to generate the most response and sales to the products you are selling.

Keeping that in mind, here are some affiliate promotion methods that may work for you:

  • Advertise on online and offline classified sections – There are thousands of online classified sections where you can post your affiliate product ads and features for free. People love to read the classifieds and always feel that they are getting a better deal when they go through the classifieds. The two online sites I find to be the most effective are USFreeAds and CraigsList. You can post links directly on USFreeAds but you can ask the interested parties to email you via CraigsList and you can then send them an email with more info and your affiliate link. Don’t underestimate the power of newspaper classifieds as people still read those and you can direct the readers with a link to your affiliate product.
  • Email Promotion – Email your list subscribers letting them know about the great affiliate product and how it can help solve their problem and why they really need to get it right away. Don’t SPAM. Only send emails to people whom have opted to receive emails from you. You can also use Solo Ad services to have others email your your affiliate ads to their big lists.
  • Email to Pre-approved prospect list – You can also buy solid leads and market to these people legally and ethically. I personally use the service of MyLeadCompany to get thousands of leads for all of my businesses and must admit that these prospects make me lots of profits in every business I get involved in.
