Another great way of getting visitors to your website (and even more important: have them come back for more) is through a good newsletter.

But what do they should have? Well, it’s simple: promotions about products. You can include articles, discounts and exclusive products, which are sure to attract users to click.

Your best option is to link the user to your own sale page instead of an affiliate, so they can find out more about the product if they want to. This will also help you find out what’s working and what’s not. If you can study the traffic you’re getting and the conversion rate, you can stop promoting products which aren’t bringing you income in favor of new products.

You can also use these types of messages on mailing lists. Imagine some of the results you could be getting just with a good newsletter. You have 10k users, let’s say only 10% clicks your link, which would be 1k. These clickers, which already know the product are guaranteed to have a pretty good conversion rate, so depending on the product, you could be making a LOT of money with almost no effort (after getting the subscribers, that is).

You could also be using the newsletter (or some other type of course or free e-book) to gather new subscribers to your opt-in lists. Even with a low conversion rate, you’ll be getting a lot of subscribers, so it’s all worth since these subscribers list are likely one of the most important ways of really getting a good amount of sales online.
