Use a separate domain name or a subdomain for each profitable
affiliate program that you promote. Forward it to your affiliate
link. People trust a domain name much more than a long affiliate
URL, so you will get more clicks on your ads.
Mailing List
Build your own mailing list of prospects. Keep promoting
different affiliate programs to the people on your list,
as opposed to losing the visitor forever once they clicked
over to the merchant's site.
Success Stories
Write an inspirational success story on how this product
helped you or someone you know. After identifying with your
success story, many people will be ready to buy.
Reviews
Write a detailed review of the product with pros and cons.
Of course, the pros should outweigh the cons. People will
trust the review much more than a sales pitch.
Tracking
Always track how many visitors you are sending to each affiliate
program, and how many sales you get from those visitors.
This way you will separate the winning affiliate programs
from the losers, and focus on promoting the most profitable
ones.
