How To Make MORE Money After Your Auction Is Over!
*****************************************************************

Here's the scenario: You just sold a widget for $15.78. It cost
you $8. Not too bad a profit, huh? But wouldn't you like to at
least try to make a little bit more?

If your auction business is running on very tight margins, then
even getting an extra 10 cents per auction could do wonders for
you, am I right?

One of the ways to add a bit of cha-ching to your auction
business (the other ways will be written about in the
future) is the following:

In my end of auction e-mail I include an affiliate link to a Web
site, or to one of my own Web sites.

What do I mean?

My recommendation is to pick 1 affiliate


program and stick with
it for a few months. If it's not working out for you, choose
another. If that one's not working, choose another, and so on.

*Free Auction Profits has a great 50% affiliate program at
http://www.freeauctionprofits.com/affiliates.html hint, hint :)

My favorite are:

Drop Ship Source Directory:

Commission Junction: http://www.cj.com

These are all free to join, and there's tons of money to be made
with them. I'll share more of my favorite affiliate programs in
the future. For now, this should be enough for you to experiment
with.

One last recommendation I have on affiliate programs: I don't
promote anything I haven't purchased and benefited from myself.
You might want to do the same so you know you're promoting a
quality product.

Until next time,
