Free Ad Space! Your E-Mail Signature

You can promote your affiliate programs using everything from opt-in e-mail to your own web site.

But, don't overlook free ad space that's right under your nose!

Consider adding a small affiliate ad to the signature area of each personal e-mail you send out.

It's so old-hat that people either build up an unreadable library of links at theend of their emails, or they leave them completely blank.

Yet many successful marketers report that using targeted email signatures is a great way to supplement their advertising efforts.

Here's how it works:
No matter what program you use to send e-mail, chances are that it lets you set up a "signature file." The program will append your signature file to the bottom of each message you send. (You may already be using this feature to sign each e-mail you send out with your name and contact information.)

Simply add a short affiliate ad below your standard signature. Then, each message that you send out will include your affiliate ad. Check your e-mail program for specific signature setup instructions.
