To help you get started, I've supplied following tips that will make your recommendations work for you:

1. Establish trust between you and your visitors.

Gaining trust of your visitors is key to increasing your commissions by writing personal recommendations.

Your visitors must get to know you and feel that you have their best interests at heart.

2. Publish an ezine or write your own e-mail courses that you provide to your visitors.

Both of these marketing techniques will allow your visitors to get to know you while also showing your visitors that your opinion can be trusted -- that you know what you're talking about.

In addition, make your site a resource to your visitors. Supply lots of information to your visitors such as your own articles, ebooks, or tutorials that relate to affiliate programs you want to promote.

3. When posting your articles on your site, have a recommended further reading section after your articles that links to affiliate programs that offer products related to what you talk about in your articles.

Here are 7 secrets to boosting your affiliate commissions each month:

1. Use a variety of text links and personal recommendations. A personal recommendation of an affiliate product can increase your conversion ratios dramatically.

2. Use ezine ads to market your affiliate products. A well placed ezine ad in a popular ezine will bring many sales.

3. Develop an email course and sell your affiliate products via text links in each part of email course. You can easily set up an email course with autoresponders so that it gets delivered automatically.

4. Spend 75% of your time marketing your affiliate products. A real key to success with affiliate programs is marketing and more time you spend marketing more sales commissions you make.
