Affiliates in affiliate programs have a vast array of affiliate selling tools to utilize. It could be difficult knowing which ones work and which ones do not.

Clearly traditional banners do not work too well. On the other hand, clever email selling is one of the BEST affiliate branding tools.

Most affiliates ensure they have a number of links on their website marketing each affiliate script they belong to. However, not so many utilize e mail selling on a regular basis.

Here are 3 electronic mail advertising methods you should be using each week to promote your affiliate programs:

1. Using Ezine Ads in Your Own Newsletter

You may have been a subscriber of an ezine that sends out special mailings in between sending you their regular
newsletter. I personally never even look at the special mailings because I KNOW they are ads.

However, I have been known to click on a backlink in an ezine ad that is part of the news letter . This is a workable way to make use of your newsletter to promote your affiliate programs. You can do this
by designing an ezine advertisement for one of your affiliate programs with a clickable link in the ezine ad that has your unique affiliate code. Put this ezine advertisement in your regular news letter .
I bet some of your subscribers click on it!

2. Set up a Free Email Course

Run a costless e-mail course and have links at the bottom of each email leading to a different affiliate script.

For example, if you offered a 7-day e-mail course on 7 fabulous new ways to lose weight, then you could provide links to 7 different weight loss ebooks. In each email would be a link to a different ebook. Of course each link would have your unique affiliate code. You may find hundreds of ebooks to re-sell at popular affiliate directories such as AssociatePrograms.com or ClickBank.com

3. Offer Articles by Autoresponder

Autoresponders are a dazzling automatic e mail marketing method. You can offer each of your articles by autoresponder to your visitors and/or subscribers.

Better still, if your affiliate script owner offers their own articles then set these up in different autoresponders with your unique affiliate code in the hyperlink in the resource box at the end of the article.

For example, the resource box at the bottom of this article has a clickable hyperlink. As an affiliate of this affiliate script you could change this hyperlink to have your unique affiliate code instead.

Email selling is an essential marketing tool for affiliates. Use it in these 3 ways and you will see higher commission checks each month!
