Do you participate in chat rooms and message boards related to the product you're reselling? You should be! This is one way to Increase your affiliate income and make more money. When you participate in chat rooms and message boards, start a conversation with a person without trying to sell to them. Later on, while you are chatting, after you've built a relationship, mention the product you are reselling and the benefits if relevant to your new friend.

Work on creating a free ebook with advertisements and links to your affiliate website. The subject and content of the free ebook should be written to compel and draw your target audience to download it. You could also submit your free ebook to some of the many ebook Directories. These directories are always looking for fresh content for their readers. Most big affiliate programs offer a re-brandable ebook for you to "brand" with your links and then give away. Use your resources!

Another way to increase you affiliate commissions is to start your own affiliate program directory. This is like having your own "search engine" within your Site. Then just advertise your free affiliate program directory.

If you are using the same affiliate ads that all the other affiliates in your program are using, you do not have an edge over your competition. You need to write your own affiliate program ads! Use the ad provided to you from your program as a guide to writing your own ads. This will give you a big advantage over the other affiliates by being unique.

Try writing a testimonial or personal endorsement ad about the product or service offered by your affiliate Program. Only do this if you've actually bought the product or service. Tell your reader what kind of benefits and results you have received using the product. Be truthful here? your reader will see thru any fabricated testimony. Always remember that your credibility is all that really matters in the long run.

Use a signature file to advertise the product you are reselling. Give your reader a good reason to visit your affiliate site by using an attention getting headline in your signature file and make sure it doesn't go over 5 lines. Use this sig file every time you communicate with others. You never know who may be interested in the products or services you are offering.

The internet is full of web rings. Find one that attracts the same type of people that would be interested in buying the product or service you are reselling and join. You could then trade links on your own with other related websites.

Join in and participate on web discussion boards. Look for those that are related to your field and post comments, answer other people's questions, and ask your own questions. Include your affiliate text link under each message you post. Remember, you never know where your next sale will come from so take every opportunity to advertise your links.

Don't forget to create a free ezine or newsletter. Use the ezine or newsletter to advertise the affiliate programs you've joined and then submit it to online Ezine directories. And don't forget to promote your ezine or newsletter on your website. Ask your visitor to sign up for free.

Start your own private website and use it as a free bonus if people buy the product you resell. You could also allow people to join for free and advertise your affiliate programs within the site.

I've given you suggestions and ideas that other affiliates are using everyday to increase their profits. So why not beat them at their own game - try it - it works!
