2. Brand your name and business. You can easily do this by just writing articles and submitting them to e-zines or web sites for republishing.

3. Start marketing your web site. The type of marketing action your site needs is first of all to rewrite meta tags and add your own keywords. You'll draw traffic from searchengines.

4. Remember to take a little time out of your day or week to brainstorm. New ideas are usually difference between success and failure.

5. Model other successful businesses or people. I'm not telling you to right out copy them, but practice some of same habits that have made them succeed.

If affiliate program is so popular and so widely available and booming like mushroom...Why do most affiliate have a hard time making $100 per month ? And some never see have receive a check ? It's probably because they are not effective in their marketing campaign or doing noting at all.

But some affiliates are making big bucks. They are one with an income of ($100,000 and over per year). There is also a big majority who still make a good income (around $10 000 to $75 000 a year).

Of course vast majority of affiliate will never make that much money. They fail miserably.

So what is wrong with them ?

THEY DON'T SET GOALS

Most people fail at anything because most people don't have a clear vision of where they are heading. They don't take time to learn and experiment. They give up too easily.

Yes, it feels "unproductive" to prepare and set up a system... But it's how successful succeed.

The solution? Planning and learning.

CHOOSING THE RIGHT AFFILIATE PROGRAM

Choosing best companies is an art in itself. Choose affiliate program that are already successful and well established like SFI. Choose one that offer good training and good marketing aids.

Successful affiliates select best companies. They use new ideas and creativity to attract customers. They never give up.
