If you are in a marketing program that offers one time sales products then you can only sell to that customer once. For instance ebooks. There great but once you sell it to a person, that's it. Their not going to buy it again. Affiliate programs that offer a wide array of products will afford you a greater income especially if products are things that people use on a regular basis. And when something gets used on a regular basis it gets used up. And after it's used up they will need to order more. Such things as cleaning products, phone service, internet provider, health care items, food items just to name a few.

Just tell your customers that since they already use these products why not buy from within their own store, that way helping you out to attain your financial goals. And in return they can then do same to their affiliates helping themselves to attain their financial goals. And that my friends is what capitalism and internet marketing is all about.

Other products that may not be something people use regularly or at all are informational products, health food, vitamins, increased health care coverage...etc. Try to convince your customers how product can improve their life by providing better health or peace of mind. But key again is to try product first.

So buy products that you are trying to sell. (At least ones you can use.) Then try them out. If you like them, then your own passion for product is all you will need to convince your customers (affiliate base) to buy them for their own use. An after they try them for themselves they will then be inclined to try and sell them to their own affiliates. Thus, your sales efforts are rewarded with bigger commission checks. Depending on how deep your affiliate base goes, sales to just one affiliate could spiral into hundreds of dollars in commissions a month. And if you have hundreds of affiliates?

Just remember this when running your business. Whatever you do for others will be done for you. Help someone to achieve their goals and in doing so your goals will be met. Use products first, then you can successfully sell to your affiliates.

The simple and memorable strategy is to use your domain name to describe what you do. Once prospects have found your site through a search engine, typing in domain name will reinforce ways you can help them. For example www.marketingforsuccess.com or www.printondemand.com.

Keywords That Work While they are many ways to improve your use of keywords on your web pages, you can boost your ranking in search engines simply by using your keywords in your page title tag, your metatags and 4 to 6 times in text on your page. Make sure to use them in normal, well-written sentences.

Flash and Splash When you submit your site to search engines, they are looking for text. Pages full of pictures or with just your company logo (splash pages) or mini-movies (flash animations) may look pretty but they won't help search engines judge what your site is about. In addition, research shows that 90% of visitors find these entrance Flash and Splash pages annoying. Rather than move further into your site, most visitors will leave. Avoid home pages full of pictures, movies or with minimal text. They may look nice, but they won't help people find you.

Build Links One of best ways to boost your site's rankings and thus get more visitors is to get other sites to add links from their site to yours. An extremely effective way to do this is to write articles and distribute them to sites visited by your target market. Most site managers and 'webmasters' are hungry for relevant content. Provide these sites content they want and they'll be happy to use it and link back to your site.

Stay in Touch Offer an incentive to get site visitors to give you their contact information, and join your e-mail list. You can also follow up with a call or a mailing. Once a prospect has been to your web site, you want to regularly remind them of problems you solve and services you provide. Don't let your prospects forget you when they are ready to make a purchase.

Avoid playing hide and seek with your target market. Help more people find you and you'll grow your business. Tune up your web marketing strategy and your web site and you'll have more site visitors, more prospects and more business. -
