If you ever wanted to know how to make more money, then you might have come across information that you must get more targeted traffic. Most new affiliate marketers have a problem with this, because either their methods didn't work, or they were not persistent or patient enough to get the results they desired. I have to warn you before making this list; it is getting harder and harder to get traffic, so whatever marketing methods you employ, you have to increase it by 10 for them to be effective. With that said, here is my list of methods to get free online traffic to your affiliate products: Social Networking- Social bookmarking/networking is starting to trump SEO or regular search engine traffic. This has a lot to do with Internet marketers getting tired of hunting for keywords or having to submit hundreds just to get minimal results. With social networking, there are already a long list of members who can run across your content. Your only job is to post regularly and get a list of followers. An example would be the popular blogging community, Tumblr or Google Friend Connect. StumbleUpon is another popular site that allows people to gain their own following. Social networking works best when you have your own blog and contribute to it on a daily basis. Get Other To Write About You- Doing paid reviews is still very popular for IM's. This is done by using a third party website like PayperPost, to find popular bloggers who will do a feature for a price. In most cases, there is a fee involved, but in some cases, you can do a trade off. For example, some marketers may have a service they will offer to another blogger for free for a feature. There has been a lot of changes about whether a webmaster should alert their visitors if they are being paid for reviews, but there are ways around this (I won't get into it in this article). Virtual Assistant- VA's are popular because you can find an efficient one for like $5/hr. VA's in India sometimes charge less than that depending on the amount and type of work they need. There are also some ebooks on the market that will show you how to build a team of virtual assistants to run your business model on auto-pilot. Just imagine having a ton of worker bees constantly making your residual income without having to sit at the computer for days on end, typing, sending emails, doing chat support, writing articles, etc. Time Management Tools- The only way to stay on top of your affiliate marketing game is to use your time wisely. It can be rather hard to focus on your attention on completing a task if you are always surfing on the Internet, shopping online or watching Youtube. I would suggest an effective Productivity Time Management software that is web based. The software was created for those who have a hard time staying on track. You will also get a log sheet that will suggest better ways to manage your time. Some of the best web based software for time management cost an estimated $70 a year, depending on your membership type/level. So, instead of churning out five articles, you can now spend your time submitting 20 articles or more for traffic. Check Your Backlinks- Dofollow sites and high PR page sources do better for your page ranking than simply posting to any site that will allow a backlink. I had to find this out the hard way when I first started affiliate marketing. Crummy places to get backlinks include, classified ad sites, forums, and blog comments. You might get a little traffic, but it will quickly wear off and it won't do anything for your long term PR. Some examples of high quality backlink sources include; article directories, business directories, social bookmarking/networking. Your million dollar affiliate checks are just around the corner.
