There are no magic formulas and secret tricks to sure fire success with on line affiliate programs, there are no shortcuts or get rich quick methods. You must treat your on line affiliate business no differently than any other business, but by using several good marketing practices and some hard work and dedication you will acheive success.

I would like to share with you just a few of the techniques that have worked for me over time,and continue to work today just as well as they did six months or even a year ago. Sorry there are no quick fixes here, but if you continue to apply these techniques diligently I can promise you that you will succeed, with increased sales and traffic to the landing pages of your affiliate offer.

The first tip is you can never succeed long term using the landing pages provided by the product vendor you are promoting. You must have your own landing page, the main reason for this is that you are going to be putting a lot of hard work into getting your visitors, and by sending them directly to your affiliate company you will never get their details and if on this first visit you don't get a sale they are lost forever.

Here are the advantages of having your own landing page and what you should put on it. Your landing page should contain the following elements. Number one a review of the product, number two an opt in form so your visitor can join your list and three testimonials from people who have used the product. To start with you can borrow some testimonials from your affiliate program owners page and down the line you can get your own by asking your own referred customers to provide testimonials to you direct. No matter how many affiliate products you represent you must always have a separate page for each product

The second tip is to provide a free report to your visitor that is related to your offer, you can use it as a bribe for signing up to your list, or give it to sites that provide resaleable e books or reports to give you a viral traffic producing item that can bring traffic to you for years . This report should contain a link to your product website or your own site.once your website visitor has signed up to your list you should write a short series of autoresponder messages, that remind your customer of the product you are promoting, and give them a few nuggets of information about it. That way you have several attempts to recycle your hard earned traffic by getting them to visit your site again and maybe leading them to a buying decision.

You should try to make sure the traffic you get to your site is targeted, by that I mean the visitor should be interested in your offer before they even arrive at your page. One of the ways to achieve this is by writing articles that relate to your product and submitting them to article directories. Try to submit at least two per week. By continuing this over time you will start to get a steady stream of visitors to your page as well as getting back links appearing all over the place as other website owners and ezine or newsletter publishers use your article as content.

Like I said no tricks or magic tactics, but using these tips over time can only lead to traffic and sales. It should not be thought of as a short term thing but within 30 days you will be seeing success. Use these tips for several affiliate marketing programs, and you can end up maintaining a good source of income and surviving in this business. It may be hard work but just think of the paychecks that will be coming your way.
