To succeed in affiliate marketing, you'll need to write. A lot. And if you can't write (or if it takes up too much of your time), then you'll need to find someone who will do it for you. In other words, you'll need to outsource affiliate marketing writing.

What exactly is affiliate marketing writing? While writing a review or using a webpage to "pre-sell" some merchant's product or service is one way of closing a sale (and earning a commission), that's not the number one way of gaining a steady online cashflow.

You'll need an automatic newsletter.

An automatic newsletter delivers bite-size articles via email every week. The messages can sometimes contain a link that leads directly to a merchant's sales page, or to a review page in your site.

This is a useful tool because you will discover that 90% of your web site visitors will never return to your site. They're either too busy surfing to other sites, or they're reading their email.

Since they visit their Inbox practically every single day, it makes sense to send your message to them via email. That helps keep you fresh in their mind, and it gives you a chance to invite them to either your web site or to a merchant's site.

It is quite difficult to come up with a newsletter each month, and moreso on a weekly basis. That's why it makes sense to pre-write about 52 short emails, and then deliver these automatically every week via an autoresponder.

Some companies have discovered that it takes around 7 to 9 emails before a visitors turns into a paying customer. With 52 emails, that gives you the chance to market 7 products throughout the year.

But who has the time to sit down and write 52 emails, right? That's why you'll need to outsource the writing task to companies that offer Instant Newsletter Services.

Once you have those 52 pre-written emails, you simply need to feed those into an autoresponder (the service that delivers the email to your subscribers), and then figure out how to make lots of people subscribe to your newsletter.

Autoresponders? Getting more subscribers? That will be tackled in a future post. Stay tuned!
