How to market your affiliate program?

How you will market your affiliate program ? Free or paid marketing? I have joined one affiliate program. I am trying to market it free. Like I am posting ads on free classifieds, free advertising forums and blogs. But I am not getting success comparing to hard work I am doing. You have to go on posing ads on thousand of sites and never know if anybody will see your ad. What should I do now? I should try some paid advertising? And which one be more productive and cheap also ?

I dont fully understand your question. Do you have a product your trying to sell?

Or, are you a member of an affiliate program like amazon and you want to increase your sales?

Get yourself one of these free websites with free hosting. On this free site make yourself some Content page information relating to what your Own site is all about. Then link the two sites together. Make sure the Content information of the free site talks exactly what your own site is all about.

Very nice professional websites that has a tutor to help you with your own design. Also, Free Hosting. Great for small businesses and home based businesses. Very best to you in your adventure!!

Hello

If your product has a medium to high profit margin then you can be assured starting an affiliate program for it will make it much more successful and will in turn make you much more profit.
The beauty behind affiliate programs is that they allow you to build an army of sales reps, all these sales reps have their own websites, visitors and opt-in lists. These sales reps are your affiliates and they use their visitors and opt-in lists to advertise your product. You don't have to pay them a penny until they make a profit for you.
Imagine having 250+ high traffic sites all advertising your product via banners, text links, recommendations in their Ezine and on their website, through ebooks they write and freely distribute and all of the other available methods. If your product is good and you have decent sales copy your sales are going to go through the roof, you could be making $30,000+ a month within six or seven months with your own affiliate program.
It's easy to recruit new affiliates, especially if you run an affiliate program that operates on two-tiers. A two-tier program is a program whereby affiliates earn commission when someone they referred to the program makes a sale. This encourages webmasters to find other people to join your affiliate program so your affiliate base quickly multiplies itself and continues to grow all the time.

Have a nice day

If you start an affiliate program, two tier, do you have to set up tracking yourself or can you get programs that already have it set up for you? I am involved in a 2tier aff. program now but I'd like to start my own as well. I am just getting into this business of forums, blogging, marketing & sales. I could use all the help anyone can offer. Thanks. P.A.L. (from Luckydogca)
