What Is An Affiliate Program?:
An affiliate program is one where you act as an
independent agent selling another companies products or services on a
commission basis. Normally the product or service is supplied directly
to the end user by the company concerned, relieving you of the hassle
of holding stock, or physically dealing with the product yourself.
In many cases you will also be able to introduce
other members to the program and earn a commission on their sales as well.
There are 'Single Level' programs where you earn
commission only on members that you have directly introduced, and 'Multi
Level' where you earn commission on all members in the group below, normally
down to a set level below your position.

How Much Can I Earn From An Affiliate Program?:
There is no limit on your earnings, it is limited purely by the effort
that you are prepared to put into making a program work.
If you want to use a program to earn just enough to allow you to take
your family out for a really nice meal every week, that's up to you!
If you want to earn enough to give up the day job and live the lifestyle
that you can only dream about at the moment, that's also up to you!
Just don't expect it to happen overnight, this is the real world that
we're talking about.
Any business that is going to change your lifestyle in any significant
manner will take time to establish, that timescale is completely dependant
on how much effort you are prepared to put towards achieving it.
I would suggest that if you are prepared to invest between 10 and 20
hours of your time a week you could be earning sufficient income to consider
whether you still need the day job within a two to three year period!
Two to three years may sound like a long time but we are talking about
financial security here! Will your present job allow you to make that
decision in the next couple of years?
Also, remember that your income will grow over the next few months and
will allow you to start looking at those extras that you can't afford
at the moment, the nice holiday, a new car, maybe you will look to the
future and re-invest your new income into your business so that you really
fastrack your progress! It really is worth doing, believe me...
Less Hours = Slower Results
More Hours = You're On The Fast Track!
And before you ask where you are going to find the time to do this....
How many hours a week do you spend in front of the TV?
How many hours could you put in if you got up an hour earlier each day,
or went to bed an hour later?
Remember, the Internet is open for business 24 hours a day!
When I started developing my Internet business I had
a full time business to run, and I was working 3 nights a week in a
second job, anywhere between 70 and 90 hours a week. Then I had to find
time to learn how to run a successful Internet business.
That's a real
good reason for wanting to change!

What Are The Pitfalls To
Avoid?
The pitfalls are many and various, but really quite
easy to understand:
There must be a product or service to sell:
This sounds quite obvious, but it is sometimes
hard to decide what you are actually selling!
The range of legitimate products is huge; everything from health products,
electronic books, mailing lists (I mean the type where you physically
receive email addresses that you can mail your own offer to, rather
than the scam that does the rounds asking you for money to add your
name to a list and then receive money from others asking to do the same!),
etc.
Always look carefully for the product or service, if in doubt leave the
program alone, it will possibly be a scam!
The program must be sustainable:
The commission structure must be realistic and
sustainable.
If the payouts rely on you filling a matrix completely before you reach
an earnings level it will never work. Sure it might last for a few months,
but these companies rely on the fact that only a very few people will
ever introduce enough new members to achieve any form of decent commission.
Check that the program pays you for all your efforts, however small, and
that the members below you also earn what they have worked for.
If you come across a program that you are unsure of just send the details
to me and I will check it out for you.
