Affiliate Marketing Strategy-3 Simple Methods
1-Email Marketing
There is little doubt that if you are a serious affiliate marketer, email marketing is a must method for you. It's the simple process of developing a targeted email list. By sending a series of carefully written messages to the list at periodic intervals, you can easily get your message across without being too ‘in your face' about it. Let's face it. No one likes to get bombarded with email after email for this product and that. That's why sending them at regular intervals is a lot less intrusive. They also have to be a perfect mix of relationship building and the all-important messages that contains your all-important money making affiliate offer.
However, to build a successful email list, you need a squeeze page so that you can capture your subscriber's email address in exchange for perhaps a free gift you might be offering. You also need a auto responder. That's a system which manages your lists and messages and is usually very inexpensive. My recommendation would be one like Aweber.
2-Review Sites
Another method to promote your affiliate links is to create a review site. This is no doubt one of the easiest affiliate marketing strategy. Beginners use it and so do the super affiliates who are very successful at affiliate marketing. The idea is that you basically review an affililita product and write about it on your website or blog. However, the idea also is to be reliable while being honest. You should always include the pros and cons of whatever the product is. No product is 100% perfect so just find a small minor inconvenience or fault with the product for your review to be believable.
The easiest way to develop your new review site are blogs. The one that I would recommend is a Wordpress Blog. They look fantastic with countless themes available both free and paid and the search engine optimization on them is the simplest around. A review site is definitely the way to go to maximize affiliate revenue.
3- PPC Marketing
PPC which is the abbreviated version of what's known as Pay Per Click.It's simply paid advertising online. You simply create an ad which runs for your affiliate products. When someone  clicks on your advertisement (which is usually displayed either at the top of the search rankings or on the left hand side of the page) they are then taken to the website you want them to go to. You pay via an online account for each visitor on a per click basis.
The best example of PPC advertising is Google's very popular AdWords program. Bing and Yahoo have their own PPC programs as well. But a word of caution though. Read all the T's and C's before starting out on this method for the first time as if you do it wrong, it could cost you an arm and a leg.
These are only three affiliate marketing strategies.. Each method is off course proven and can be very efficient if done the right way. However, if you combine these and other marketing strategies, this should lead you to becoming a very successful affiliate marketer in the future. Don't forget including the affiliate marketing strategy we mentioned at the outset too.
