Best Time to Promote an Affiliate Link
We are entering the BEST time of year to promote an affiliate program. This is also true for MLM or any other type of income opportunity.
The first of January kicks off a brief season when millions of people are determined to improve their lives. Folks by the droves are full of enthusiasm and just looking for a business opportunity that could make them money in the coming year.
January is a HUGE time to sign up new members!
This January may be the biggest biz opp season we've seen in many years. A respected Wall Street expert I know told me small business will have new energy and sales will be up in the coming year, even if the economy chooses not to cooperate.
February usually slows down a bit. But then get ready for March. It is traditionally the most profitable month of the year. By March people have their Christmas bills paid off and their tax refund has just come in. People will be ready to put their dreams in overdrive.
Don't wait to get started. By the time your ads, articles, press releases, and web pages get out there, the prime sign-up season may be over. Plus, advertising in January and February, when other businesses are lying low, means there is far less competition for your marketing, PR, and ads.
Here are top ways to promote your affiliate link:
* Articles are still the number one way to grab people who are ready to buy. An article makes you look like an expert, a leader, and someone people can trust to help them profit. iSnare.com has a low-cost article distribution program, but it can take them a full month to send your article out to their thousands of contacts. Put your article on EzineArticles.com. Google loves that site and never misses a new article.
Also check out Charlie Page's Ezine Directory. They've got loads of addresses for ezine publishers who are looking for fresh articles. And if your time is at a premium, get ThePhantomWriters.com to distribute your article. They will do all the work for low cost.
Here are a few tips for writing your article. Start by stating a problem the reader has. Then show how that problem will get much worse if the problem isn't solved. Then provide several ways to solve the problem. Of course, this will lead readers to want to buy your product or service to further solve their problem.
* A press release can also work well for you. In many ways, a press release works just like an article, getting your name and message out there in impressive places. These days there are several excellent free distribution services. Check out PR.com and PRLeap.com.
Remember, a press release posted online gets you more links to your site. Search engines also like press releases. Put your press release on your website. Customers will find it interesting and reporters and writers will go right to your release when researching a related topic.
If you don't have time to write your press release and article, get a pro writer to create them for you. Many have lowered their prices to the lowest in years.
