In the world of internet marketing, there are ample opportunities to make money by writing reviews and embedding your affiliate links in the review. But, how can you get the advantage of being one of the first to publish a review? Offer your services as a beta tester. Visit some of the more popular IM forums (Warriors come to mind) and become an active member. It may take a little time, but get to know some people in the forum. The next time someone makes a post like “I’ve made some software and I’m looking for testers”, jump on it. Get the software, test it, provide feedback, and discuss the affiliate program with the author. There is a good chance that there is one already in place. So, write a good review of the product, and sit on it until the minute it launches. Take your review and post it to as many article sites you can (make sure that they allow affiliate links in the article). That way, you get a jump on everyone else, and your article will most likely hit the engines first…creating nice affiliate commissions for you!

Thanks for viewing!
