6. Start An Ezine or Opt-in List

I am sure you have read many times about advantages of having your own ezine. If you are still without an ezine, start one immediately. Set a target for number of subscribers you wish to have by year-end. However, if you already have an ezine, then set a goal to double your subscriber's base.

7. Attend An Internet Networking Event

Make plans to attend at least one live Internet seminar, Conference, workshop or boot camp in 2003. It will help you gain new knowledge, ideas and motivation. Also good for networking and making joint ventures.

8. Subscribe to New Ezines

Ezines are a great resource for news, ideas, tips, strategies and even motivation (especially when one is working at home alone). There are many niche areas you need to keep yourself up-to-date like affiliate marketing, search engine optimization, link popularity, traffic generation, list building, etc. This new year add another 6 new titles to your reading list.

9. Start or Expand Your Mini-Sites Empire

As an affiliate marketer, you would have already built one or more mini sites to promote products you are affiliated to. ( If you've not started, then this is your wake up call! ). For rest, it's time to set a new goal to build another 10 new sites for this year.

10. Do Something Different

Try something different this year. Something that you have never done before, but have been thinking a lot for a long time. Write a report, an e-book, an e-course, articles, give a seminar, a workshop, set up a joint-venture, etc. Who knows, it could developed into something BIG!

That's it! Just remember to remind yourself regularly of your Year 2003 Resolutions. Write them down on paper and place it on your desktop or next to your computer keyboard. Some- where you won't miss. Read it often. It pays to be focused!

Good luck and make 2003 YOUR Year!

5. Even when you get commissions, don't be too happy. The merchants and marketers will proceed to make 10 to 100 times more out of your traffic than they will ever share with you.

6. You are in business for yourself - when you market and promote affiliate programs, they must generate money and cash flow for your business. If you don't get reasonable returns on your time and cash investment, dump merchant or marketer. The program is either not worth promoting or merchant or marketer is abusing your efforts.

7. Promote affiliate programs under your own domain and branding - don't give free advertising to merchants and marketers who may not be interested in rewarding you for your efforts.
