Advertising your affiliate marketing products can be a frustrating, endless stream of money lost. Many affiliates get so discouraged because of the money they are losing in advertising costs that they eventually give up. This doesn’t have to happen.

There are several ways for affiliates to advertise their affiliate links, websites, and products absolutely free. These methods are actually, in most cases, more effective than the advertising strategies that are costing you hundreds, even thousands, or dollars each month. They do require some investment in time, but over the long stretch your time investment will go down, but the rewards continue to climb.

1. Be Active in Forums

One of the great things about the internet today for affiliate marketers is the opportunity to interact with others in websites like forums. Join several that are within your niche and begin asking and answering questions. You get traffic to your site by people clicking on the link to your affiliate site in your forum signature.

2. Trade Links With Other Website Owners

Take some time to search out other website owners that have sites on the same topic as your product. Write them an email requesting to exchange links with them. They put a link to your website on their front page, or other relevant page,  while you do the same for them. It’s win/win situation and is most of the time accepted.

3. Comment on Blogs

This is basically the same as participating in forums, only now you are leaving comments about blog posts. Commenting about the post or add other relevant information will lead others to your website.

4. Write Articles and Submit to Directories

The biggest form of free advertising of them all. Writing short 250 to 400 word articles and submitting them to article directories has been, and will continue to be, a very effective form of free advertising. You can link to your site in your author’s resource box and even within the article with relevant keywords.

Don’t waste any more money trying to advertise your website with methods that you have to pay big money for. Use these free advertising strategies for affiliate marketing to keep costs down to zero.
