If we could design an auto- affiliate marketing system similar to our auto -response system we would set it up once and have the system do the work for us. Unfortunately, we have to maintain a current web-site;and distribute valuable information through e-mails and articles on the products you are promoting.

Be selective when you are choosing an affiliate program it is in your best interest to avoid wasting money on advertising dead end products. Research how the company pays their affiliates. It is highly recommended that you find a program that allows you to earn a large profit in a short period of time. Another way to generate income through your affiliate program is to promote products that are geared towards your target audience. These are a few very effective ways to increase your sales which in turn will increase your commissions.
Keep in mind it does not matter what type of affiliate programs you are promoting other network marketers are promoting the same exact programs. Branding yourself will attract prospects to you. For example, you have to offer your potential customers/prospects something they perceive as valuable. Remember to focus on their wants and needs. Perhaps, offering a free power point tutorial or you-tube video that walks them step by step on how to set up their auto-responders. As an extra bonus include e-mail templates to help them set up their campaigns. Another option is to write free reports or e-books detailing for them the most successful marketing techniques. Whatever you are promoting it is essential for you to provide credible information to distinguish yourself from the other affiliates. If they feel they can trust you and view you as a leader it will entice them to buy from you and not from someone else.
Remember, that you are indirectly advertising for the owner of the product you are promoting. Even thought you are selling the product you will not get credit for the sale if you send your prospect directly to the owners web-site. Ideally, you want to build a list of your own prospects. Once you have gotten your prospects to your lead capture page they are given the option to submit their name number and e-mail address to receive additional marketing material from you. Once you have that information you can start to build a relationship with them.
The lists you are building will stay with you forever. Therefore, it is important for you to have an effective e-mail marketing system. It is recommended that you look for a system that offers unlimited e-mail marketing campaigns, auto-responders, follow-ups, list and even broadcasts. Also, try to find one that has a high e-mail deliverability rate, a top-notch training and support staff and traffic tracking. It is highly unlikely that your prospects are going to make a purchase the 1st time they are introduced to you or your product. Do not get frustrated statics show that it could take up to 7 exposures before your prospect will make a purchase.
However, they will become loyal customers as they learn to trust you. Developing a strong relationship can be done through your on-line newsletter, E-zine articles, e-mails, YouTube videos or your social networking sites. In the future, because you have developed a strong relationship with them they will only want to do business with you.
If you are consistently making huge profits every month for a particular product you are promoting it is obvious you are an asset to that company. Therefore, since you are a risk free investment it is not unreasonable for you to try to negotiate for a higher percentage of the sales. Even suggest that you would be willing to try it on trail basis. Good Luck! It is possible to increase your affiliate commissions if you are consistent persistent and stay focused.
