To be succeeding in affiliate marketing without your own product is to give your websites visitors a free product first. You can give them free products that are suitable for their need. It will be better if your sold product is a compliment for the free product. To help you learn affiliate marketing easier, I will guide you to create your own free product.

The easiest product you can create is an eBook, compiled from free articles that you found in article directories. Just copy-paste the article content, and make sure you put their resource box on the bottom of the article. Put your websites link on the cover page and in the header and footer for every page.

Many people hard to decide the best layout format they should use to create an eBook. When I create my eBook for the first time, I made a lot mistakes. Many of my customers complained to me and ask me to recompile my eBook. Make sure that doesn't happen to you. Learn from other people mistakes, the same principle applies when you learn affiliate marketing. I will explain 3 aspects of document's layout and explain to you why it should be done. They are font type, number of pages, and page size.

First is font type. What type of font should you use to create an eBook? Don't try to use any other fonts beside the fonts that are readily installed in most PCs around the world. Those fonts are arial, verdana, times new roman, georgia, and courier new. If you encouraging your readers to print your eBook, then you better write your eBook in Times New Roman. It is the best font to read in printed format. Otherwise, if you encourage your readers to read your eBook in the computer, you should use an arial type. Arial is the best font to read easily on screen.

Don't use other fonts that you have downloaded, unless you embed them in your eBook or reprint them in image format. To embed your font in your eBook, you should customize the settings of the third party program that you used to compile the PDF format. Of course your e-book's file size will be higher by embedding the fonts inside it. One of the important things you want remember is to make your prospect easier to read your book, to join your affiliate program, or to promote your products.

Second is number of pages. Many readers expect the number of pages to go in an almost proportion with the price. If your product is priced at $97.00, the readers are expecting more pages of quality information around 70-80 pages. If your eBook have less than 20 pages, then it's usually considered as "reports" while more than 20 pages is considered "eBooks". Try to reach more pages so your reader will be quite satisfied. Give a reference pages and introduction page. Try to give more example and explanation to have more quality contents.

Third is the page size. Always keep your pages in letter sized. Everyone in Western side of the world is using letter-sized papers. They will prefer to have your eBook in letter sized so they can print your eBook. Unless you are trying to sell your eBook to the Eastern side, then another format like A4 is optional.

After you created you free giveaway product, give them the eBook only after they have subscribed. Then send them a follow-up email to purchase your product or give them an affiliate links in the follow up email. I'm sure this tip will help you to learn affiliate marketing easier.
