Advertise For FREE Using These Methods

In my last post, I gave you two methods you can use to find products or opportunities that you can begin promoting as an affiliate. In this post, I will be discussing FREE, but EFFECTIVE methods you can use to promote those products/opportunites you have chosen. With these methods, all that is required is your time and a little bit of work. So, let's get started!

Forums - Forum advertising can be a very effective, and PROFITABLE, form of advertising if done right! First, you will want to begin by choosing a forum that is mainly focused on your niche. For example, if you've decided to sell home and gardening products online, a good forum to start with would be the HGTV.com Forum. A perfect place to find forums pertaining to your niche is Google.com. Now, don't go making posts here and there promoting your products! You will immediately be banned from the forum and a complaint will be sent to your ISP! The correct way to go about this would be to add your affiliate links to your products in your forum signature, then introduce yourself to the forum. Take part in discussions going on throughout the forum. Don't make it seem like you just joined the forum to promote your products. Establish yourself as someone with knowledge and/or experience within your niche or someone interested to learn more about your niche. People within the forum will begin to respect you and see you as an expert and friend. Once you have that trust, people will be willing to buy anything you have to offer them just because YOU recommended it!

Blogs - Would you believe me if I told you that this exact blog that you're reading is earning me a nice income and it could be doing the same for you? Yes, you read right! Blogs are no longer only seen as personal journals, but now as goldmines! Blogs are very easy to get started and very easy to maintain! And, best of all, they're FREE! Now first, you will want to open up a blog account with Blogger.com. Setup takes only a few minutes to complete. Once finished, start blogging! That's all there is to it! Start creating posts about your niche. Talk about personal experiences. Make recommendations. Include some articles that you found very helpful or interesting. Give tips or ideas. Just be sure to include your affiliate links and watch the money roll in!

Articles - Are you good at writing or have some expertise or experience within your niche? Then write an article about it! Just by giving away some of your personal recommendations in an article could mean loads of cash for you! Just be sure to include your affiliate link or a link to your blog in your resource box at the end of your article. Many people will read your article and become interested in learning more about your niche thus leading them to clicking on your link in your resource box! A perfect place to start would be GoArticles.com. It's extremely easy to setup an account there and begin submitting your first article!

***Recommended Resource*** - Not any good at writing but would like to cash in on the hundreds, even thousands of dollars that can be made from FREE article submissions?
