8. Keep your site updated regularly with new material.

9. Write recommendations.

Make a recommended links or products page where you share with your visitors benefits that products that you promote will provide to them -- how those products have helped you.

10. To increase your commissions promoting two-tier affiliate programs, also provide a top rated affiliate programs page where you recommend your affiliate opportunities to your visitors.

11. Follow up with your visitors by providing free e-mail courses.

Your courses can be those provided to you by affiliate programs you promote, or you can create your own free e-mail courses from your own articles or tutorials.

12. Publish an ezine.

Running an ezine will allow you to successfully drive more new and repeat traffic to your site, successfully market your affiliate programs to your visitors by keeping in touch with them, and also allow you to promote several different affiliate programs within your ezine's content.

Publishing an ezine is also an excellent way to establish yourself as an expert or resource in your field which will generate more commissions for you as your subscribers respond to your recommendations.
