Simple tip for affiliate marketing

Affiliate marketing has become pretty popular as an "easy" way to make money online without having a product, or sometimes even without having a website. Even so, it is a lot harder than it seems. However, there are plenty of tips to help along the way. I'll cover some other tips in the future, but I want to focus on one quick, easy, and very effective tip.

Contact the affiliate manager(s) or website/product owners for whatever products you might be trying to sell as an affiliate. You'd be surprised at how much extra help you can get from them. After all, they make money from you too, right?

Even multi-million to multi-billion dollar companies can have some really nice affiliate managers that will often take the time to e-mail you back. Sometimes you might even be able to work out some exclusive deals between the two of you. I certainly have before, and let me tell you, it can definitely make you stand out from the crowd of affiliates.

After I've established a relationship with them, I often will get a few exclusive deals or insider information from them just because they know I'm in contact with them. This can give me a huge edge over others.

Even if you only deal with Clickbank products and so forth, the same rules apply. Try talking to them and seeing what you can work out. You might find some sweet deals from just spending a few minutes of your time writing an e-mail.

Great points made. I think that some of the allure of internet marketing is the ability to do what big companies do while working alone, in relative anonymity. It's amazing what that personal touch can accomplish, and it is a lesson that should be learned.
