Building your opt-in list gives you endless ways to pre-sell; sell, and backend sell for a long time to come. For affiliate marketing you can work your list and build up profits. You will need to do some research and establish a solid foundation to do this so that you can get maximum returns. First be sure that you have a number of different affiliate programs selling related products. Second, purchase resale rights to other related products and services that you know your subscribers will find useful.

You can promote your affiliate programs as the primary front end products in your newsletter, then build an announcement list for those who like bargains and need more tools and services. You will use your resale purchases to do promotions to this list. You will be surprised at how many people will join this bargain list and buy things at discount rates (special subscriber rates.) In this way you can combine your affiliate marketing and build up sales of those products using your lists. The trick is to make sure these products and affiliate programs are highly targeted for your subscribers.

Recurring or residual income from affiliate products are also good to promote to your lists. Examples of these would be auto-responders, domain names, web hosting and products with monthly subscription fees.

Other good examples of products for creating residual income are vitamins and weight loss products. Customers will take these on a regular basis and will buy the products again and again. There are many affiliate program that offer products that have ongoing purchases and most are free to join. This is another good way to earn a continuous income.

You can rotate a few different ads for products like this to your list, and build a nice monthly income that will keep on snowballing. Make sure these products are highly targeted for best results.
