Use a video on your opt-in page and give some cool bonuses just by entering name and email address. Also use some unique methods to tweak your opt-in page. Bring traffic through normal ways - forums, Adwords, yahoo overture, reviews on the blog.

Affiliate Tips - How to Siphon Money from Rich Website Owners and Internet Marketing Gurus
By Pius Victor Ephenus

  As an affiliate, you’ll know how hard it can become to continually raise your traffic levels and ultimately your sales.

This is partly due to the fact that very few people are usually seeking out your small mini site that is designed to presell a product.

Once of the best ways to get around this constant uphill struggle is to leverage other people and their hard work.

This is done by jumping on the bandwagon of new products and services, and on the general gravy train of well known brands and people. Here is a few ways to do that…

1. When a new product is launched online, there will always be a period of huge search volumes. These searches come from people using all sorts of keywords to find the products and does their buyer research before handing over their cash.

As an affiliate, this is a great opportunity to get in front of these people as the new products are released to the market, and this works particularly well as keywords relating to new products have less competition in the search engines (making it easier for you as an affiliate to get found).

2. Secondly, you can siphon money off other successful marketers indirectly. This is done by looking at how they are making money and modeling their system.

For example, you could monitor a set of PPC adverts for a specific set of keywords. You would see over a period of time if these people continue to advertise with these keywords and if they do, you can be pretty sure that they are making a profit from their system.

All you need to do is examine how they are making money and model your own business around a similar process (do not copy other people’s work however, as this could land you in court).

3. Post comments and add content to big sites. Spreading your content around the web is one of the most effective ways to get more traffic, but to truly take advantage of the success of others, your aim to get your content found on the big traffic sites where your target audience hangs out.

This is really easy and there’s plenty of ways to do this…

- Join some forums and leave your website link in your signature box, then start making some useful posts.

- Add comments on social sites such as Myspace, Youtube or Yahoo Answers.

- Or post comments on high traffic, on topic blogs in your niche.

- Or better still, create some high quality content that is totally exclusive and original, then offer that content to a big player in your market for them to post on their website or blog (in exchange for a link back to your website).

As you can see, with so many websites popping up daily allowing you to add your own content (and links) to, there’s an increasing amount of opportunities to get traffic to your website. The key is to get in front of the right people. Do this by leveraging the big players in the same market as you and getting your links seen by THEIR visitors.

If you make the effort with just a few of these techniques, you’ll soon be piggybacking the rich and start seeing your own affiliate cheques rolling in.
