1. Never end your customer’s curiosity about your product on your site only, keep something for the merchant’s site as well. Retain your customers right till the end of the page by listing your benefits so that they get interested enough to click on the affiliate links to find out more about your products and services.
2. Never spam, or else you’ll find yourself getting blacklisted.
3. Never join just any affiliate program. Many of these programs are frauds. Join only the established ones.
4. Never ever waste time.
