1 pop3 mailbox 1 multiple message autoresponder 1 email extractor 1 email verifier as much spam from market as you can get

Mailbox must be large enough to handle leftover spam. Preferably a pop3 account so you can manage it on your desktop. Don't use a mailbox you don't want spammed, it's hard to get out. Free pop3's can be found at:

Stuff mailbox with leftover spam. You don't know where to get spam? (You have lived a good life.) I shop at FFAL sites, guestbooks, classified ad sites, freebie signups, etc. Anywhere you put your email address, be assured they want to send you mail back.

Best of all, some sites will sell your email address to spam lists. On other sites, mostly guestbooks and classified ads, spammers will harvest your email addresses and send you spam FREE!

After a week or a month (you want it to age), take spam from mailbox. Add spam to email extractor.

Now having content rich web pages is a must do, you can't hope to succeed on Internet without them. It's absolutely useless putting up web pages with nothing more than banner ads for your affiliate programmes and expect to sell anything. Your prospective customer has to trust you, and normally has to return several times before they buy from you.

So if all they see is banner ads, they will just click through and buy somewhere else. What you need to do is pre-sell your affiliate merchandise, and leave hard sell to merchant involved. Picture this: a customer turns up to your page from that hard earned search engine position, sees 20 banner ads for different products and an attempt to take her money on spot. You now have one suspicious customer and their credit card clicking back to search engine for another link.

On next link she finds an article fairly well written about particular subject she is looking for and in that article are links to products that can solve problem for her. Bingo a customer who may buy, if she clicks onto that link she goes to your affiliate merchant in a decent frame of mind where you're affiliate merchant can do hard sell and you have earned some commission.

Notice I said fairly well written, because you don't have to be a copy write genius to pre-sell your products. You don't even have to write whole thing yourself, there's nothing wrong with taking a pre written report and changing it to suit your needs, obviously it would be polite and politically expedient to include a mention for original author with his or her website URL. Other than that article can include all your links inside it.

There are many sites that include free reports with full reprint rights that you can use, and indeed free e-books as well. On hotbobs site there are a number of free reports and e-books that you can give away from your site.
