Two Powerful Free Advertising Methods For Any Affiliate Program

Does free advertising work? That has to be one of the most frequently asked questions online. And yet the answer should be pretty obvious. There is evidence all around us to prove that free advertising works. Let me just give one example. Look at Google. Google moved from obscurity to huge success by using nothing but free advertising. In other words Google grew into the huge success that it is today using free advertising.

Actually various fascinating methods were used and I examine them in great detail in this article. But in this article I will concentrate on two powerful free advertising methods that can prove to be quite effective for any affiliate who wants to exploit them to the maximum;

a) Blogs

Blogs are an amazing way to promote any affiliate program. You just have to know exactly what to do with them. The truth is that you will need to put in a lot of very hard work. Remember there are no free lunches in this life. The advertising method may be free but it will cost you plenty in terms of time and effort spent.

What you need to do is to create popular blogs based on some of the serious problems that the prospects for your affiliate program face. For instance if your affiliate program sells business books then your blog should deal with some of the serious problems businesses fail which are addressed in the books you are selling. Remember that people do not come online to be sold anything. They get on the web to look for information. If you can provide exactly what they are looking for, people will find you through the search engines and they will read the information and with time trust you and all the recommendations you make to them. So have a few links in your blog but do not look like you just want to sell books. Provide genuinely useful material and information.

The magic with blog is that you get to qualify your leads and send very targeted traffic to your site. Instead of sitting idel and miserable at the low traffic arriving at your affiliate program site why not get busy creating content for a blog and having fun as you meet prospects and provide useful information?

b)Free reports to build email lists

There are few marketing tools online that are more powerful than email lists. Remember that tired old cliché; the money is in the list. Don’t get anxious or give up too easily when building your list. Be patient and take your time to build a quality list. It is better to have 10 people who are ideal prospects for your business than 1000 people who were tricked to get onto your list.

The most effective way to build your list is to create valuable reports from your blog posts and offer them free on your blog. This way you will legally “trap” email addresses of those who visit your site and build up a list of hot prospects for your affiliate program.
