Of all the methods, my  preferred way is to create &#8220;my own product&#8221; and promote affiliate products  indirectly.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;My own product&#8221; can be in the form of a content website, a blog, a forum,  a piece of software that I give away to build list or a free online application  or service.<\/p>\n<p>The key concept here is that I&#8217;m building and promoting traffic for my own  product. As i do so, I&#8217;m at the same time channeling traffic to other products  I&#8217;m affiliated to.<\/p>\n<p>Most affiliates are attracted to the idea of promoting affiliate products  without a website or with a simple one-page site. I agree these are faster way  to make money. The problem is the growth potential is limited.<\/p>\n<p>Building a business is not about making money. It&#8217;s about building a  long-lasting asset, a cash cow that you can milk for many years.<\/p>\n<p><font color=\"#ff3300\"><strong>An example of how to promote affiliate products  by creating your own product:<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n<p>Recently I came across a website called <a href=\"http:\/\/www.instantdomainsearch.com\/\" target=\"_blank\"> instantdomainsearch.com<\/a>. It&#8217;s fast becoming one of my favorite sites.<\/p>\n<p>This website allows me to &#8216;instantly&#8217; search for available domain names.  (Honestly, the search result is not really updated. But it&#8217;s good enough for  preliminary search). What&#8217;s more important is usually, when I found a domain  that I wanted, I&#8217;ll just click through its GoDaddy link to buy the domain name  right away. This means the website is earning some commissions.<\/p>\n<p>This is a perfect example of what I mean by creating your own product and  promote affiliate products indirectly.<\/p>\n<p>An important advantage of creating your own product is that you have a lot  more ways to drive traffic.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; You can do SEO<br \/>\n&#8211; You can do joint venture<br \/>\n&#8211; You can add your own product for sale and build affiliates to promote  for you<br \/>\n&#8211; You can build a list<br \/>\n&#8211; More importantly, if your own product creates real value, it will  attract traffic automatically through words of mouth, which is the most powerful  traffic generation method.<\/p>\n<p>This method takes more time and effort, but it will give you more lasting  income, more growth potential and eventually more stability.<\/p>\n<p>Last thing to add.
