Affiliate marketing can be so lucrative that many people decide to focus their internet business solely on affiliate sales. There are plenty of examples of people who are earning a full-time income promoting a vast array of affiliate products and systems such as Mike Dillard's Magnetic Sponsoring and The Renegade Network Marketer by Ann Sieg.

Most people that are already in a network marketing company have no interest in joining another MLM opportunity. In fact, it can be said that the majority of MLM'ers are passionate about their company and products. It then wouldn't make allot of sense to try and sell them on another networking program.

Many network marketers are just interested in learning how to build the current business they are in. Offering affiliate products, affiliate marketing training, and good customer service with personal attention will not only increase your sales, but build that all important relationship for future endeavors.

Some of the ways to promote affiliate programs:

• Own the product yourself so you can talk about what it is

• Ezine advertising (solo ads)

• Video marketing
• Blogging
• Social networking
• Google AdWords
• Banners
• Forums
• Article or video on your site revealing your personal experience with the product
• Recommendation to your e-mail list

I happen to like Dillard's stuff and one of the ways to sell more magnetic sponsoring e-books while at the same time building your e-mail list is hands down getting the proper training and providing real value to your prospects.

On a couple of different occasions I was offered to sell an e-book someone wrote that contained links to their various websites. Doing this only builds their list and it enables them to market other products in which you would not get any credit for.

On the other hand, it's a great idea to take the time to write your own e-book to build your list and include in the book training along with links to your affiliate products and website.

Make sure to include reviews of the various products that you have personally used and how these products helped you personally. This is a powerful way to monetize your business and build relationships at the same time.
