Having searched amongst a plethora of the highest paying affiliate programs and finally signed up with something which fits with your interests, how do you get those all important link clicks which will hopefully lead to a hefty commission? As with skinning cats, there are many ways to do this, not all of them totally above board! Leaving those black hat methods aside, one very good way of encouraging link clicks is by writing product reviews. These can be particularly effective as any one who takes the trouble to read your review is clearly interested in what you are reviewing and therefore highly likely to click on your affiliate link! If you are going to use product reviews as an affiliate marketing method, you need to understand right from the outset that product reviews are NOT sales messages! You should have first hand experience of what you are reviewing and present a balanced and unbiased opinion. This might put you in an awkward spot if you really don't rate the product, but better to have lost some cash on a dud than recommend it to others knowing full well it doesn't deliver. If you do go down this route, you will eventually be caught out and lose credibility and probably discredit all your other reviews as well. Where To Post Product or Consumer Reviews There are all kinds of places you can post a product review, specialist consumer review sites, forums, blogs, newsletters, article directories and groups to mention some. These should all be explored and used if applicable, but the draw back can be that affiliate links are not always welcome. If you are serious about promoting some of the highest paying affiliate programs it is probably better to create a dedicated blog on the subject and ensure it is updated and promoted on a regular basis. Doing this isn't a quick route to instant riches, but taking this option will give you the best chance of building a solid and lasting income. Blogs are easy to set up and just as easy to update so no special skills are needed, just a little bit of patience and a willingness to follow instructions. You can get a free blog from Wordpress or Blogger or you can purchase your own hosting for a few pounds or dollars a month. Having set up your blog, you must keep it tightly focussed on your niche subject. Perhaps you have found some high paying affiliate programs covering the subject of rose growing. Your blog should only feature advice and reviews on products relating to growing roses. If you branch out, (whoops) into lawn mowers you will dilute your content and take your reader's mind away from your rose growing products. If you really want to promote lawn mowers then create a separate blog for it. Promoting Your Blog As you can see, it is very, very easy to set up a blog. The hard bit is attracting traffic which is what you need if you are going to make any sales! This is a huge subject, but you can begin by doing the following: Include a signature with your blog url in all your emails Take part in appropriate forums having first created a posting signature containing a link back to your blog Use Twitter to post short updates about your latest posts Open a Facebook account and create a Fan Page on your topic How To Write A Product Review Of course, having gone to all this trouble, you must ensure your content lives up to expectations! As said at the beginning of this article, product or consumer reviews are not sales letters so you really do need to be clear on how they are written. How To Write Product Reviews To Promote Those High Paying Affiliate Programs or any thing else for that matter should help!
