It can be really hard to make any headway as an affiliate—especially if you’re new. How are you going to get your links in front of people? There are tons of other affiliates trying to do the same thing you’re doing. You can drive free and paid ads, sure. But one of the best ways to get people to take a look at your content, click through your links, and buy what you recommend is to release free reports.
People love content. They need content. They read content to learn things and to find solutions to their problems. They often buy content and infoproducts to find these solutions. Again, it can be hard to stand out in a crowd when you’re trying to sell content—especially if you’re new.
The solution of releasing free reports that contain your affiliate links solves all of the above. You’ll get your links in front of people. You’ll attract people who want and need solutions—and you’ll stand out from the crowd because they can get your great content for free.
