Before your actually create your own website, you can have a list. Simply use one of
free autoresponder or list server companies that are available, such as:
- FreeAutoBot: http://freeautobot.com - Get Response: http://getresponse.com - Yahoo Groups: http://groups.yahoo.com - Topica: http://topica.com
One of these will get you started until you start making some money and can afford to go "pro." Most free autoresponder options will have ads on top of each message you send out.
When you have your website finished, put a subscription box on every page. You never know where your site visitor will be coming from so you'll want to cover all
bases.
3. Submit free and paid solo, top sponsor, and classified ads to newsletters that are in your affiliate product's niche. Most affiliate marketers are doing this already but are making two major mistakes:
1. They use
"canned" ads that
affiliate program company provides. Re-write
ad in your own style. Make
ad different and unique. For a few minutes of work you will get a much better response.
2. They don't mask
affiliate link. I would say that 90% of
ads that get submitted to my newsletter still have
affiliate ID showing. I have preached this many times but it bears repeating. Mask Your Link! Even if you just use a service like http://tinyurl.com or http://snipurl.com, it will save you from having your affiliate ID ripped off by someone else. Besides, your link will look a lot more professional and will meet
line length guidelines that most publishers require.
The best affiliate marketers have their own domain name and website. But these tips should help you get your start in affiliate marketing.
