OK, so you have just finished putting together

your Website and you are ready to start making

some money. You heard about affiliate programs

and how they are an excellent way to make some

extra income from your Website. So you join a

few, post some banners on your site, but you really

don’t see many sales. Here is the reason why:



People make the mistake of filling their sites with

huge banner ads and popup windows in hopes that

people will click to their merchants and buy, when in

reality the exact opposite is happening. People are

completely turned off by banner ads and pop up

windows. They are annoying and your site simply

appears as one big sales letter.



Fortunately there is an effective way to promote

affiliate programs from your site, and its through a

process called “Pre-Selling.” Instead of blatantly

advertising with banner ads, try writing content on

your site that is informative and warm your visitors up.

Then ”recommend” a product or service that will be

of interest to your readers and they will click through

to your merchants with a smile on their face.



For instance, say I started a Website that reviews

the top ten best guitars on the market. I would write

my own review of each guitar listing its benefits and

my personal endorsement. Then I would find a

merchant that sells those guitars. At the end of each

guitar review, I would recommend they visit my

merchants to purchase these beautiful guitars.



This is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to

the process of “Pre-selling”. Visit my Website and

download your free 5-day email course ”The Affiliate

Masters Course”, which explains this entire process

in greater detail.
