I am sure that by this time, you have selected a product that is worth promoting from one of the affiliate programs. This is the time to figure out how you are going to promote that product. If you are doubting the product, do not hesitate to do a little research just to make sure that the market is hot. If you are not sure how, read Choosing the Best ClickBank Affiliate Program.

There are various ways of promoting affiliate products but it is recommended that you use these methods:

• Article Marketing
Writing an article requires you to know a little something about the product. This is not a problem because most product owners provide some of this information in their affiliate centres. The article need not be about the product, it should be on a problem that can be solved using the product. People usually refer to websites for solution to their problems. A well article that addresses their problem is more likely to convert provided that you introduce the product as a solution as well.

Below is a list of some of the websites you can use to submit your articles.

• Review Pages
This is a bit different from article marketing. People searching for products normally want to see reviews that will help them decide if they should go ahead and buy. A review page or as they call it a landing page needs to have a lot of useful information and this can be put in the form of a comparison. What you can do is compare the product to an existing one and make sure those pros and cons are tabled out. If you know nothing about the product, contact the product owner or check the product affiliate centre. The affiliate centre will probably contain pre written articles, keywords, banners, etc for you to use in your campaign.

• Pay-Per-Clicks
This is the most expensive way of promoting your product and you are more likely to waste more money if it is not done the right way. If you have chosen to use this method, do some keyword research and learn a little bit of SEO. It is possible to link the PPC ad directly to the product page but it would help you if you point it to a review page. Sometimes it is a good idea to target keywords with low CPC. If you do not want to lose that possible buyer, have them signup for your mail list.

Remember that if you do not want to waste your marketing efforts, do some research and try to spend as little money as you can on your marketing campaigns.
