Broke or Newbie? Here is a Simple Affiliate Strategy You Can Use!

You know, lately I am seeing many people who are really struggling with affiliate marketing, so to give back to the community, here is one strategy to make commissions and the best of all, it will really cost you ZERO Dollars to set it up! I know you have seen those headlines, no website, hosting etc... Well this is the real deal and simplest strategy

Here is what you need:

You will need to have 3-5 products that you can sell at the discount! So the merchant has to be able to provide you with discount code! Each product you find, take a look at Google keyword tool (free) to see if anyone is searching for keywords such as: "Product name + Discount" "product name + promo" You can even look within WSO and see the products people are selling there and approach the product owner asking if you can get exclusive discount code!

Just to give you an example: "Keyword Elite Discount" there are 480 monthly searches for it. BUT competition is huge, so not a good market to get into, but your goal is to get keywords such as that one, with low competition. A good strategy is to get away from those very popular products and search for products that are not in the direct contact with IM/AM world.

The good news here is that the "discount page" can be a very small ad. You can use the http://usfreeads.com (free version) for this. Of course if you do have your own blog, you can use that page as the ad (but in this example, we will concentrate on doing it with zero cost!)

The ad page just needs to provide them with instruction on how to claim discount code. It might be built in through your link OR there may be a space to enter discount. Just explain how!

So you are going to set up 3-5 product pages around the keywords you select. Make your title attractive such as "Limited Offer - PRODUCT NAME Discount Code" or something like that. Optimize each page for the "product name discount" as this is what you want to rank high for!

Send traffic to each page, using forum marketing (zero cost) or article marketing with your anchored text link back to the ad page. OF course, you can use as many free traffic methods as possible.

Now here is the good news. You really do not have to sell anything to these people, they already have been sold on the product, and all you really need to do is give them the right discount. And if you get an exclusive deal, this is a no brainer and simplest strategy for any affiliate!

p.s. People love discounts and in recession or no recession, people will always be looking to save money!
