My method for creating online supplemental income in addition to my regular income has always worked best as article marketing of affiliate products. It's one of the easiest ways to get into money making online opportunities and takes the least investment of time and money. My best earner by far is promoting electronic cigarettes. Although, an affiliate never has to use the product he promotes, it can help. I have used electronic cigarettes and know first hand that they are a wonderful product.

Electronic cigarettes are one of the newer hot consumer products that are a great product because they contain the nicotine the cigarette smoker wants, but do not contain the tar, the bad smell, or the numerous other downsides that regular cigarettes have.

For anyone looking for their next great affiliate product, or are looking for their first product to promote as an affiliate, electronic cigarettes are a fantastic start.

Here's why

• Need - Traditional smokers know that they are smoking something that is harmful to them, and thousands upon thousands are ready for something that is different.

•  Desire - Many traditional smokers do not know that electronic cigarettes even exist. Once they find out, and learn of the benefits, they want them right away. A traditional smoker who is aware of the long term cost savings and the health facts about electronic cigarettes will be willing to pay up the high upfront costs of owning an electronic cigarette, knowing how much they will save on the long term costs of using it.

•  Appeal - Electronic cigarettes are the next best thing for smokers. They are appealing to the 20 and 30 something demographic of adults who's lives are full of electronic and computer related products that simplfy or better their lives. Switching from traditional cigarettes to electric cigarettes is a no brainer choice.

I have been an affiliate of Greensmoke for less then a year. I have written less then 20 articles that include topics promoting electronic cigarettes, and topics relating to the traditional smoking industry, that include links sharing the alternative cigarette.

I signed up for Greensmoke in April 2009. With very little effort I reach my $100+ first payout in July for the months of April through June. Then things got interesting. In both July and August I earned over $500 each month, then my September 2009 check from Greensmoke was just shy of $1100.00. That is just one months of earnings, and I expect that each month thereafter will increase as well.

Article Marketing

It took less then 20 articles to bring this success. An experienced article marketing affiliate could produce these and spread them out online within a month. A beginner could do the same in a few months. Then sit back and watch as the articles become found on Google and the other search engines.

Video Marketing

I am seeing a really amazing trend. Video marketing is becoming more powerful then article marketing. If you have a webcam or can make video's for youtube and the various upload video sites, you can create serious interest in just a handful of videos spread out among the vid sites.


Real World Marketing..

Article and video marketing are not the only ways you can increase your earnings selling electronic cigarettes. In addition to creating websites and posting in online classifieds, get out there and Make business cards, post flyers in grocery stores, do real world marketing. Electronic cigarettes are one of the few newer untapped affiliate products that sale well both online and in real world.


Getting started bonus!

I have no idea how long it will last, but as of right now Greensmoke offers its new affiliates a free $25 for signing up. They pay this out as soon as an affiliate reaches the $100 payout requirement. Because the amount you make per sale is so generous ($20 to $33 on average for the e-cigs) it takes just a few sales to make your first payout.

Lifetime earnings!!!

Everytime you sale an electronic cigarette to a traditional smoker, you have the potential to change the way they smoke for life. While some will not be able to make the switch completely, or forever. Many more will. They will come back to Greensmoke to buy more cartidges, more parts, more electronic cigarettes to give as gifts and YOU will earn lifetime earnings on whatever they buy.
