1. Become active in niche specific chat room discussions which are relevant to what you are marketing. Talk to people, but do not try and sell to them upfront. After a while, you can mention the products or services which you are promoting in passing, and gauge their interest.
2. Author a free eBook which has content appropriate for your niche. Of course, you will want to include links and references to your website throughout this eBook. Make sure that the reader has to visit your website to learn key bits of information which you left out of the eBook.
3. Start your own affiliate program directory. Join a large number of affiliate programs and list them all in a directory format on your web site. Then just advertise your free affiliate program directory.
4. Create you own ads for the affiliate programs which you promote. You have to stand out from other affiliates by being unique.
5. Use a personal endorsement ad. Only use one if you have actually bought the product or service for the affiliate program. Tell people what kind of benefits and results you have received using the product.
6. Promote your affiliate products with article marketing. Write on a topic relevant to your niche, and include a link to the product in the author resource box of the article. Make sure that you give your readers a compelling reason to visit your website by writing a compelling article. Keep your author resource box relatively short. Less than five lines is best.
7. Join co-ops with complementary websites. The key is not to focus on websites which are not in direct competition. Rather, focus on websites which can result in a mutually beneficial relationship. This is a great opportunity to get in front of your targeted market at no cost. For instance, you can trade banner ad space with other relevant websites.
8. Get involved on forums. Providing answers to questions posed will boost your reputation. This will lead to you becoming an expert in the area of the forum. Make sure that you include a link to your website in the signature of your posts.
9. Write an ezine and give it away for free. Of course, the ezines should be relevant to each product which you are promoting. You can even use the ezine to build your email list be requiring that it be delivered by email. Your visitors will have to provide you with their email address in order to receive the free ezine.
10. Create a social network for individuals in your niche. Offer a free membership for people who have purchased your product. This can be a bonus. Otherwise, you can simply allow people to join for free, then advertise your affiliate programs throughout the social network.
