Newspaper Advertising


This is an oftentimes overlooked affiliate marketing method. There are some affiliates who make a lot of commissions from just placing classified ads that have their affiliate site in them. Here are some tips for being profitable with newspaper advertising.
1. Write powerfull ads that will stand out and compell readers to visit your url.
2. Test different newspapers. Response rates will vary dramatically with each paper.
3. Response generally increases by advertising more than once in a paper. Try to advertise for at least 4 consecutive issues in the same paper.
4. Make sure you advertise in the correct section of the classifieds. If your affiliate site is business related then that is the section of the classifieds that your ad should be in.
5. If you put a long affiliate url in your ad people are likely to chop off your affiliate id when typing it in their browser. I recommend using a service called tinyurl to make your affiliate url smaller.
