5 Ways to Drive Traffic to Promote Your Affiliate Products

By Cheow Yu Yuan

Affiliate marketing offers the opportunity for one to start an internet business without having a website, own products, or even money. Affiliate marketing is just like any business that you can start on the internet. You will need traffic to get sales, and not any traffic, but laser targeted traffic.

One of the advantages of starting out as an affiliate marketer offers you a chance to concentrate on one thing, which is to master the art of driving traffic. You will not need to spend time to come out with your own products, or writing sales copy. All you need to do is to drive traffic, build list, and convert.

Let me just share with you 5 of the ways that you can drive traffic to your affiliate products if you are just starting out in the affiliate marketing field:


1. Writing keyword rich articles. Writing article is one of my favorite techniques to drive traffic, and it is absolutely free of charge. I understand that it will be hard when you are writing your first article. But just continue to do it and you will get the hand of it. Lastly do write keyword-rich articles so that your articles get the chance to appear on search engines.


2. Giving away free report. You can easily compile articles that you have written in the past into a report, and then give it away. Strategically place your affiliate links in the report and allow others to give away the report as long as they keep the content intact.


3. Pay-per-click advertising. You can advertise on places like Google and Overture for a fee. You will only be charged when someone clicks on your ads. You can start driving targeted traffic to your affiliate products or your squeeze page as fast as 15 minutes after set-up.


4. Forum advertising. Sign up with forums that are related to the product’s industry that you are promoting. Contribute to the forums, and place your affiliate links in your signature.


5. Squidoo. Set up a Squidoo lens and offer a review on a particular product that you are promoting. Strategically place your affiliate links within your len.


With affiliate marketing, you do not have any more excuses not to get started to earn money on the Internet. Just take the first step, and learn more as you go along.
