After signing up as an
affiliate to market a product, you have to expand your client base as a preliminary
set up for promoting your product. The
most assured or result oriented strategy in affiliate business is the promotion
of the product through your existing client base. This can be done by email marketing or by
social media promotion. Merely by
posting the affiliate links in your website and blogs will not bring
conversion. If you have a plan to work
as an affiliate, prepare in advance by creating an email list of like minded
people or by getting more followers of same interest in the social media
sites.
Using Social Media Sites
Most of the new generation
internet surfers have account in at least one of any social media sites. This is for sharing their ideas, for fun and
also for friendship chat. But if you are
planning to become an affiliate, it is better to start a new account with good
number of followers of the same taste. Discuss or post topics that are related to
your niche. Among such posts, you can
promote your business also. Though Face
book has the largest number of accounts, LinkedIn is the best for doing
business. The methods of using LinkedIn
for promoting your business can be learned from Lewis Howes’ ‘Linked Influence’. If
you have enough to time to manage more than one social account, it will be
better for the success of your business.
Jo Barnes’ ‘Social Media Bundle’ will
be helpful to get the training for using Face book, LinkedIn, Google+ and
Pinterest for the promotion of your business.

Power
of Email Marketing
Email is an effective
marketing tool that can be used to benefit your business. You can promote your existing products and
newly introduced products through this email communication for better
results. First of all you have to create
a list of people by collecting their name and email id. This can be collected by offering some valuable
item (such as e-book or report of the same niche) in exchange of their name and
email id. You can also offer gifts,
bonuses, discounts etc. for the collection of this information. Remember that this list is going to be pillar
of your future affiliate business.

When you have a plan to sell a
new product, you can mention about it in your regular mails to the clients in
advance. This will prepare them for
welcoming the product. Though conversion
rate may not be higher, most of them will interestingly look for the
information of the new product at the time of launching it. Send the mails only when you want to
communicate and send a few mails for one product in selected intervals. For sending emails to a lot of people
together, use the help of an auto responder.
List wire is a free auto responder service that can
be used for this purpose.
