Advertise, Advertise, Advertise By Abdul Rahim Khurram

Many people sign up for affiliate programs in the hopes of making a substantial amount of money quickly and easily. They place a few advertisements and then sit back and wait for the money to start rolling in. When it does not, they attribute the failure to the program and terminate their participation.

It is my firm belief that the only way to make money online is to implement a consistent advertising strategy. A plan on which you are willing to put forth significant effort and to which you are committed for a specified amount of time. There are two things you must consider when putting together this strategy. To begin, select a few affiliate programs that are of interest to you and learn more about them. In the second step, you must determine how long you intend to devote to these programs. Then, once you've decided on a time frame (I recommend 6 months to a year), you must make a pledge to yourself that you will not stop advertising until that time frame has expired. This is, without a doubt, the most significant component in your overall success.

Following that, you must consider your advertising options, which may include traffic exchanges, classified ads, e-mail campaigns, ezine articles, posting to forums or message boards, chatting with others who are interested in what you have to offer, and distributing flyers throughout your local community. You can notice how many different advertising options are available to you right now. I recommend that you complete all of them. It may appear to be a lot of work at first glance, but when broken down into a strategy, it is not.

One possible strategy would look something like this: Traffic exchanges are available for one hour every day. Post up to 15 classified advertisements every day. Make a total of 5 posts every day to a message board or forum. Once a week, send an item to an ezine or newsletter. During the week, when you have spare time, visit chat rooms and hand out fliers to raise awareness. This can all be achieved in 2-3 hours every day if you put in the effort. When you have a strategy, you will be astonished at how much you can do. You can also choose whether you will work 5 or 6 days per week depending on your schedule. Preparing a checklist for each day of the week and crossing off each item as it is completed will help you stay organized. That will help you stay on track and will make you feel good about yourself because you will know that you are one step closer to attaining your goal.

Make a commitment to your new plan and refrain from participating in any additional programs until your present programs are regularly profitable. Don't give up hope. Maintaining your focus on this strategy will considerably increase your chances of success. Keep in mind to advertise, advertise, and more advertising.
