Top 5 Posting Methods - Affiliate Links

Once you've connected with the affiliate networks and chosen the affiliate programs that you want to work with, it's time to begin posting your affiliate links.  Each affiliate network will provide you with all the help you need in obtaining your affiliate links if you're having any trouble finding them.  With clickbank.com for example, you will simply go to the "Marketplace," search a category of your interest, and once you've selected the product, simply click "Promote."  Simply copy the link, and have it ready to paste into the sources we will be providing.


Now Your Ready to post your affiliate links.  Before we get started though, please understand you will not have to obtain your own website or blog in order to use these specific methods we will be providing you.  Although, these sources will be very beneficial for those who have decided to obtain your own website or blogging platform.

We will be providing you with some great sources, so please take your time to post your links in each one. 


Posting Method #1 - Search Engine Submission


The first place that we will want to post our links are all of the major search engines.  Posting to the search engines is extremely important because once you've built up some other quality links to the affiliate site, your search engine link will be ranked much higher.  This is extremely important for long term affiliate marketing success.  Use the link below to post your affiliate links to major search engines.

Posting Method #2 - Internet Directories


There are many internet directories online that allow you to post a small description of what your promoting, with your affiliate link cloaked right into the description.  This is more useful for building links and increasing your links search engine ranking, but can often times produce some quick sales depending on the product that your promoting.  Use the link below to post your affiliate links to hundreds of internet directories.

Note: Please don't add the same link to this source more than once per month, and make sure you put your links under the proper category for the affiliate product you're promoting.


Posting Method #3 - Classifieds


Unlike the first two methods we have shown you, posting to classified ad directories can help you get you get some immediate exposure to your affiliate links, and produce some really quick results.  Hopefully you've taken time to get a seperate e-mail account for your new internet business.  This will help you keep up with replies to your classified ads much easier.  With the next two methods we will be providing, you may receive several replies from your posts.  If you haven't set up a seperate e-mail account, we really suggest you do this.  You may end up missing out on some sales, simply by skipping over or erasing something of great importance.  Try a free gmail account by clicking the link below.

For the method just mentioned, you may even want to set up another e-mail account, simply because in order for your e-mails to be sent, you will have to receive e-mails from others.  It will be worth it though to get your e-mails out there.  Take your time, and sign up with as many of these safelists as you can, and begin sending your targeted e-mails to those who are eager to hear!

Posting Method #5 - Social Networking Sites & Forums

Now unless you just haven't owned a computer until just recently, you already know that social networking is huge.  From MySpace and Facebook, to numerous online dating sites and forums, there are a ton of different ways to connect with others.  This can mean big bucks for an affiliate marketer!

When connecting with people through social networking sites, you will be able to find out their interest over time.  Most of you probably have a MySpace account or Facebook account that you can easily get on, and begin connecting with friends.  Well, that's a great place to start.  You already know your friends interest, and will be able to provide them with quality products that could be very beneficial to them.  If they're interested in a certain celebrity, maybe you could provide them with a free celebrity app, that not only helps them keep up with that celebrity, but makes you a few dollars as well. 

It's not that hard to understand how this can be beneficial to any internet affiliate marketer.  I encourage you, however, to branch out, meet new people, and target their interests as well.  You will only be able to promote to your friends for so long before they start to think you're just trying to make a quick buck off of them.  You must be wise promoting to your close friends or you could loose some.  Of course most of them will understand and try to help you out as much as they can. 

Here are some great social networking sites you will really want to give a try.  Sign up for each of them in order to get the best results.
