SO WHAT DOES THIS MEAN TO YOU?

As an Internet marketer, you may have to change way your own affiliate program operates. You may find that affiliate programs you're involved in now cease to operate, or are forced to change in way that they work.

Or, maybe nothing will happen.

But point is, will you be ready for change if it DOES happen? How will your business cope? How will you cover for lost revenue if your affiliate program stops?

The important message that lies beneath all this doesn't just stop at affiliate programs. It's about innovating for future to cope with new drastic changes. Can you cope?

We're living in exciting times. The Internet is developing all around us, and rules of e-commerce are being rewritten every day. What worked and applied yesterday may be irrelevant or outdated tomorrow.

The people who will truly succeed are ones that can cope with these sudden changes, and inspire new marketing methods and techniques to keep their business booming.

Be ready for change. Not just for affiliate programs, but for anything in life. Expect change, and become so flexible that you can adapt to these changes effectively.

After all, life is full of changes, and successful person can accept this and move on. Are you this type of person?

When change comes (in whatever form), will YOU be ready?

Until next time...

Make a habit of scanning discussion boards and look for any opportunity to answer a question or give advice using your affiliate link. Make link a part of your signature line and use it in your e-mail correspondence and newsgroup postings.

If you publish your own ezine, make sure you keep a list of text ads for all of associate programs you participate in and pick 2 or 3 to put in your newsletter every time you publish. If you've purchased product yourself, a personal endorsement will pique your subscribers' interest and motivate them to click through. Your subscribers trust you, so don't recommend anything you don't believe in.

Don't forget about placing your ads in other ezines that cater to your target audience. There are plenty of inexpensive newsletters just waiting for your ad copy. For instance, an ad costing you $10.00 could result in three associate sales adding up to $100.00. That's a pretty nice return on your investment.

One trick that has worked well for me over years is placing my associate links in e-books that I've written. Since books are given away for free there's no telling how many people will see those links and possibly make a purchase. If your book is well written and popular you could stand to make some decent revenue from associate programs that you've placed in it.

Associate programs really are a great way to make some cash online, but a banner alone is not going to do it. Start promoting your "special link" every chance you get....and you'll be rolling in dough in no time at all.
