No matter what your affiliate goals, there are a few very necessary tools needed to grow and expand your online business. Leading affiliates agree that the common necessities are as follows:

•	Your Own Web Site

Having your own website is essential to becoming a successful affiliate marketer. Don't believe the hype that you can earn a substantial living without your own site. You need a web site that you control as the foundation for all your Internet marketing efforts.

A wise affiliate builds a site that is user-friendly and credible so visitors want to return again and again. It needs to be built around the needs of your visitors.

You need to recognize that the majority of people surfing the web are not looking to buy. In general, individuals are looking for information. You can capitalize on this by creating a site full of interesting content relevant to the topic they are researching, often in the form of pre-purchase information.

Your website content must also be believable and correct since it reflects you and your business. When you provide reliable content, whether in the form of articles or information from accredited sources, then visitors to your website will trust you when you market a product. If your visitors trust you they will tend to purchase from you again.

•	Incentives

A common incentive is an opt-in newsletter with content that the reader would find interesting. An opt-in list is a mailing list in which the recipient has signed up and chosen to be on the mailing list. Always give your reader a way to unsubscribe from your list so as not to anger or alienate them in any way. For the newsletter to be effective you have to provide your subscribers with incentives to open and read what you are sending them.

These incentives can include free reports, free products and services, or free software. By providing information for free, you can develop loyalty even before you attempt to close a sale.

•	Link Popularity

Anyone looking for information will perform a search on Google or Yahoo or one of the other search engines. It goes without saying that your site will get more visitors if it is one of the first sites displayed following a search. Being high on the list can be extremely beneficial.

You need to have a substantial amount of traffic visiting your site to achieve this kind of high search engine ranking. Link popularity is one of the most essential methods for achieving that high search engine ranking.

Submitting articles and content to newsletters and ezines is an effective way to employ link popularity. Always include a resource box at the end of your article that has a link and information about your site.

By submitting your articles to a large list of ezines on a regular basis, they will be republished all over the web with each publication linking back to your site through your resource box. This will greatly increase your chances of attracting visitors thereby achieving a higher search engine ranking.

Following these three powerful techniques is absolutely essential for increasing your income as an affiliate. You will have all the tools of success if you focus first on building a user-friendly website, providing incentives, and achieving a high search engine ranking.
