When you think about affiliate sales, you'll read many articles about how, get the customers attention, get the e-mail address and auto send them hard or soft sell emails.
Maybe it's just me, but it seems that this affiliate avenue is slowing down.
Maybe it's the fact that Google (Adwords) and the other PPC companies have locked out Copyright and Gambling from advertising on the system. Maybe it's because the general public is fed up and too savey to fall for this type of gimick.. I myself just delete spam and have no use for it, other than to see what people are desperate to sell online.
Go for the long haul!
I really mean, be as patient as you can. Make the effort to respect the people you want to convert on a sale.
Try other avenues of marketing, maybe create something new. Or get creative. Many people are doing just that and they are the ones making the money we all dream of. Remember, I myself are just like you. I'm working at making a little extra.
TIP
The internet widget and gadgets are exploding, Yahoo and Microsoft both. These are nothing new, Konfabulator has been around for years, but was just recently taken over by yahoo. Now MSN live is new. This is a whole new spot for you to create a gadget that you could profit from.
Example:
The Coffee Lovers Gadget!
You have a site that works with the gadget, people use the gadget to keep track on the coffee they love, the ones they want to buy.. etc.. The gadget has a restock button that links them to an affiliate shop to purchase that type of brand.
This way you get the same customer returning to make a purchase.. 1 customer making more than one buy.
Ok.. this is an example, but the theory in principle is what you should look at.
Because soon or a later, people will trash the spam and ignore the ads!
