I realize that may sound like a strange thing to say. After all, you probably found a whole range of ready-to-use ads and websites in all shapes and sizes when you logged in to your affiliate account! And I'm not saying you shouldn't use those. But I do advise you to create your own variations on them as well.
Think that's too difficult? You'll be surprised... Let me explain why and how.
Most affiliates use exact same ads in exact same ways, in exact same places. Now, I believe over time that inevitably makes those ads less effective. Especially if program is well-known and has who knows how many thousands of members!
People will get used to seeing those same ads over and over again, and so they loose their impact. People will grow immune to them, so to speak...
But that can actually good news! You can use this fact to your advantage...
By being original.
You see, vast majority of affiliates does not realize importance of what I've just told you. And even those that do; some of them aren't very creative and simply don't come up with their own ideas. Others are just plain lazy... The result is same: they use same ads for a long time, often even for as long as they remain an affiliate.
And that gives you a brilliant opportunity to stand out from crowd.
Create your own promotion material!
Present prospects with something fresh, something new. Replace 'same old stuff' they've already seen ten times before and have grown immune to.
You'll find that people will pay much more attention to your ads. Result: a higher response rate...and more affiliates in your downline.
Let's look at ways to easily create your own promotion material.
