- Visit an affiliate link – a large number of publishers won’t let you put an affiliate link in your article, unless of course it is in context. You can put the link in the resource box, which would be allowed regardless.
- Subscribe to a mailing list – this is a great option as when people sign up they are giving you permission to contact them by email on a regular basis.
- Subscribe to a complimentary course you are offering.
- Refer the article you wrote to other people or other sources.
