Here are a few common ideas that you can use or build on…

Domain Redirection...
You can set up a domain name that immediately redirects the visitor to a program and then they promote this domain name. Although I don’t know how the search engines feel about this, the idea isn’t a bad one; you could also use sub-domains for this.

'The Information Site'
A common, yet powerful approach to promoting affiliate programs is the ‘information site’, a web site that teaches people about something and also promotes certain related products and services. More information about getting a web site can be found here.

EMail Marketing
Having a mailing list and sending out a news letter is also a commonly successful way to market, but one thing is for sure, your newsletter has to be informative and interesting.

Once you have readers on your list, aside from sending your regular newsletter, you can send out messages to them that tell them about a program that they can benefit from; you can tell you subscribers about a program that you promote.

Use this same approach if you have your own product as well, you can run a newsletter or give away an email course about some subject and then recommend related products or services that you gain commission from.
