You may already know that affiliate marketing is one
of the quickest and easiest ways to make money from
your own home based business. 

The products creator erases the need for research and
development. You, as the affiliate, have only to deal
with the marketing end. In most cases the merchant
will even provide sales material for you. 

This is great for fast profits, but what about the
long term? 

Think about this for a minute. The affiliate does all
the work on getting interested prospects to the
product sales page through their affiliate link.
Hopefully the prospect buys and the affiliate gains
the commission. 

But what happens after that?

The affiliate must then repeat the process all over
again to bring more prospects into their sales
pipeline. All for a one off sale and commission. 

This can turn into a costly proposition depending on
the cost of getting the leads to the sales page and
the conversion ratio of said sales page. 

With that in mind, what can an affiliate do to
increase their return on leads and qualified
prospects? 

Two things.

First, as an affiliate marketer in any niche you must
set up your own lead capture page and build your own
list of targeted prospects. 

This can be done simply by using an autoresponder to
capture names and email addresses that is set up with
seven to ten follow up messages extolling the benefits
of the product you are promoting. 

Give away a free report or a review of the product as
an enticement for the prospect to leave their
information. 

This way you can send endorsements of other related
products as well if they don’t like the original
product. 

Second, find membership sites or services to promote
in your particular niche. 

This is a truly spectacular way to maximize your
advertising by gaining recurring income instead of a
one-time sale. 

Think about what is happening right now with cell
phones. You can purchase a phone with all the bells
and whistles – camera, Internet ready, text messaging
- the works for very cheap. Heck, you can even find
some going in a two for one deal. 

So what is the catch?

You have to sign up for two years of service.

That is where they make their cash. The recurring
income model. 

That is what you, as an affiliate marketer, should be
looking to promote. 

It has been said that it’s as easy to make $100 a
day, as it is to make $5 a day. That’s especially
true when you already have money rolling in from
previous sales. 

By promoting services with a recurring monthly charge,
you’ll set yourself up with a nice residual income.

I’m hoping that this provides you with some useful
information and enables you to succeed in creating
residual affiliate income. Please let me know how you
