website is where you focus all your marketing efforts.

building a website that is user friendly and caters to
your prospects’ needs.
Most web users go online to look for information, not
necessarily to buy a product. So, load your website with
relevant and useful content. ‘How tos’ and
‘Do it yourself’ articles are immensely
popular!
On the Internet, content is king and good quality content
would not only draw readership build your credibility, it
would also boost your web page search engine ranking. You
establish yourself as a credible expert in your field by
posting relevant and useful articles. People in turn
would lean towards the product or service that you
endorse and promote. Gradually you would build up a loyal
customer base.
Tip #2: Gathering prospects through an opt-in
list
Competition is stiff in the arena of affiliate marketing.
You must always keep ahead of your competitors to capture
the lion’s share of the market. Therefore, you must
use every possible means to draw people to your website
and get them to click on your affiliate links.
Building an opt-in email list is still one of the best
ways to gather prospects. Offer a newsletter or an e-zine
that is rich in content and useful leads.
Tip #3 Offer incentives
Free is the buzzword. Offer incentives to people who
subscribe to your newsletters. Free softwares, access to
exclusive membership sites and other freebies are
incentives that you can offer.
Tip #4: Link Popularity
Driving highly targeted traffic to your website cannot be
emphasized enough. Most people use search engines to find
information, products and services. Do everything you can
to achieve high search engine ranking. Link popularity is
one of the factors search engines use to determine web
page rankings. To enhance your link popularity, you must
progressively increase your incoming links.
One of the best ways to increase incoming links – at
no cost at all – is by submitting articles, with
your website's link in the author’s resource box, to
e-zines and free articles’ directories. You gain
free publicity and a link back to your website. The more
directories you submit your articles to, the more
incoming links you gain. However, do it progressively.
Major search engines like Google will penalize you for
article spamming. Write original, relevant and useful
articles so that more webmasters will pick them up and
post them.
