Creating a list packed full of your affiliate marketing leads is the dream of all affiliate marketers. If you are really interested in learning how to build your affiliate marketing leads, you can do a search in Google and you will find thousands of different products that claim to be able to teach you how to build your affiliate marketing leads.

The main reason why most affiliate marketers never made it through their third month in their online business is due to information overload. Most of them are busy looking for the next best ebook that can help them to generate thousands and thousands of leads overnight and never really take some time to implement what they have learned.

In fact, there are over a hundred different ways you can build your affiliate marketing leads but it would take you years to try them all. Therefore it is very important to focus on the few tactics that suit your budget and your time.

Personally, I am using three methods to build my own affiliate marketing leads and they have accounted for over two thousands leads every month for one of my lists without the need to spend huge amounts of money.

Below are the three proven methods I used to build my list

1) Article Marketing: I can’t emphasize enough this method of lead generation, this is the most effective and zero cost way of building your affiliate marketing leads. I strongly recommend this to all marketers who are facing budget constraints.

All you have to do is to write an article every day and then submit them to various article directories, web 2.0 sites or your blog and it will help you to generate leads.

This method has proven to be very useful for me. There is a lot more to article marketing than simply writing any article and then submitting them to article directories. Therefore if you are really interested in using article marketing to generate affiliate marketing leads, you should consider getting yourself a product that can help you in this area.

Article marketing is a long term method of generating affiliate marketing leads and I even have articles I have submitted two years ago that are still generating leads everyday. (So you see the power of articles)

2) Create Backlinks: This is also another great method I am using to build my affiliate marketing leads. Some marketers believe that creating backlinks is hard tedious work. So let me break the myth for you today, any marketer can make quick work of backlinks if they have the right tools.

I learn all my search engine marketing methods from one of the products I have bought and all I am doing now is putting them into practice and constantly tweaking the techniques to optimize the results.

3) My Secret Lead Purchase Shop: Most websites that offer leads are selling you low quality and overused leads that usually don’t materialize. Personally, I have tried a few lead purchase sites and they have proven to be useless.

I was actually introduced to the lead purchase site I am using now by one of the internet marketing gurus. It is an autoresponder service, lead purchase service and and so much more rolled into one comprehensive tool.
