There are so many strategies Affiliate Marketers can use to make money online but I've found that these three strategies are either overlooked or underutilized.

Although as an affiliate, it is not necessary to create your own product or keep track of customer service there are strategies that can help boost the size of your affiliate paycheck.

1) Create your own landing page or review page for each product you promote as an affiliate. It is important to be unique when promoting someone else's product.

My recommendation is to use Web2.0 sites, such as a blog, squidoo or hubpage. Make sure you include your keyword which is your product name in the title as well as in the body of your landing page or review page.This will really boost your search engine rankings

Don't forget to redirect your visitor to your main affiliate site, which leads to

2) Use an opt in form to collect their information. This is where affiliates miss the boat. If you're sending people directly to your affiliate page, the creator is building their list and you are not...If you're not building a list, you will start over every time you promote an affiliate program.

Give away free content that has valuable information. This content should be monetized so make sure you have affiliate links sprinkled throughout your content so that you can make money even if the person doesn't purchase the affiliate program you're promoting.


3) Send Targeted traffic to your site instead of untargeted traffic. This can be done in several ways but free is the best way.

Write articles about your product. Break up your topics so that you can write 2-5 articles per week. Make sure you have a strong title which will get you more traffic.

Write articles that are informative to the reader and not rehashed garble, make sure the article is at least 300-600 words and be consistent to keep the flow of traffic coming.
