Use the product yourself. If you're trying to sell your customers a product they don't believe in, they will sense it, and not buy from you. If you don't believe in your product, who will?

Some affiliate programs pay on more than one level. Much like MLM, you can get paid on other people's sales, too. Getting any ideas yet? Do a search on residual income affiliate programs. Find one that appeals to you.

Now, you've found your product. How do you promote it? Use the same techniques that have proven effective for other online products. We'll go through the basics:

PPC-or pay per click. Probably the fastest way to get a new product in front of the customers who are searching for it. All the major search engines have their version. Visit their advertising center and check out your optiions. You may need to play around with keywords and bids, as well as advertising copy, to find which converts best.

ezines-There are thousands of ezine publications online. Practically every niche has dozens (or more). Find one that accepts advertising, or maybe even start your own! Find one that your product would appeal to.

Your own opt-in mail list. If you've been successfully building your business and have built up an opt-in list, send your offer to your list. If they've already bought from you, they likely will again, if what you're offering is similar.

Other people's opt-in mailing lists. Some lists accept advertisements for a fee or a cut of the commission. Warning: Never send spam or bulk email to anyone who has not opted in to a list. This can get you in trouble with the law, as well as alienate the customers you're trying to reach.

Write an article such as this one. Make it informative, not a sales letter. You're allowed to put a tag line at the end with a link to your url. There are dozens of services to submit them to, and web publishers who are constantly looking for new content use them. They publish them on their websites, and you get links to your site, which send you free traffic. Everybody wins and it's very effective. (And cheap!) If you don't have the knowledge, or the time to write an article yourself, hire a ghostwriter to do it for you.

By now you should have gotten some great ideas on what you would like to promote, and how to do it. All that's left is to go out and do it! Find the right one, and you may just become the next Internet millionaire.
