Back selling is a great and well known support for affiliate marketing, as it can greatly comment the income that is produced from affiliate marketing.

Back end selling is the selling that's conducted after the inital sale. When a visitor becomes a paying customer for a product, another product can then be advertised and sold to the exact same customer, with the second product being called the back end product.

Now, the customer will already be aquainted with the merchant or affiliate, meaning that is already a level of trust between them. Therefore, selling the back end product may actually be easier than the initial sale.

    Hey Jonathan,

    I am currently trying to find very general ways of exposing Misti Burmeister and Inspirion Inc. to the public media

    Currently my emphasis is on Forbes as they have a network of CEOs that I want to add Misti to.

    Similar to that I am also following the Washington post and CNN to see a pattern in their news stories that we can exploit. I would appreciate greatly any suggestions as to how I can efficiently get the ball rolling on this project of media exposure.

    Thank You,
    Arjun
