Many different affiliate marketing tools, techniques and methods have made their way across my desktop in just the past few years alone. But I truly believe that this one, will be more effective than just about all of them.

…and after you’ve seen what I’m about to show you, you will too.

Now don’t get me wrong, article marketing is cool, except for the fact that the article directory gets to keep all the ad revenue and they are getting more particular about what articles they accept.

Review sites are OK, but does anyone really trust the reviews they read on those sites anymore? Most people know by now that review sites are just disguised sales pitches and aren’t honest reviews.

Social media is fun, but it has its limits.

It’s more about socializing and less about doing business.

Sure, you can make connections there, but at the end of the day the lion’s share of your profits are more than likely not coming from social media. That tells me that social media sites are not the most important places on the web.

So what is?

Your own blog.

In my opinion, there’s nothing like having your own blog, especially if you use WordPress. WordPress makes blogging much easier and a lot more effective.

Your blog is your castle.

YOU get to decide which content to put on it and don’t have to wait a week for someone else to approve it.

YOU get to keep all of your ad revenue. If you use Google Adsense, however, chances are it’s more like Google Adcents. And please don’t get me started on the Google slaps.

This is why it’s more effective to promote affiliate products on your own blog rather than having to rely on Adsense. Affiliate commissions have much higher payouts than ad clicks.

One thing you can do to promote affiliate products on your blog, is to have a "blog sponsor" section in your sidebar. You can place ads here (preferably with eye-catching graphics rather than just text) that link to select affiliate products and your own products if you have any.

Another option is to occasionally write a blog post or two that promote affiliate products. The posts will contain solid content in addition to your sales pitch. You should write the post as if you were talking to a friend so that it doesn’t come across as too sales-y. And you should never forget to have an opt-in form on your blog so that the email addresses of your blog readers can be collected for future correspondence.

Only on occasion should you promote affiliate products through email to your list.

I say on occasion because best marketing practices dictate that most of the emails you send to your list, should contain helpful, informative and engaging content. You can use your blog posts as content but you should also use original content in your emails too.

In other words, mix it up.
