4. Teach them to duplicate what you've done. The

big ssh ssh secret in affiliate marketing and downline building is not how many people you can recruit - it is how well you can motivate your team to duplicate your efforts. Bottom line - you will never be successful if your team isn't.

5. Make them feel wanted. Let them know your recruitment "secrets". Create a chain effect by having them pass that information onto their downline. Keep them

motivated by sharing info on e-books, resources or tips that you've found to be successful. Ask for their ideas for making team stronger. If you have a website, provide a discussion board so your downline can meet and share tips, even brain-storm.

6. Remember - everyone is not same. You may

have a member in your team who may not be as successful

in recruiting and training as others. Do not let them fail!. Even if it means doing it for them.

Your hard work will be reflected in your commission check(s). That particular member might be going throught a rough time at moment. I'm not

telling you to enquire, but chances are they will pick themselves up and be more motivated to continue if they are aware that "team" [to coin a phrase] "

has their back".

7. If you are not good at following up or

contacting persons, there are many systems on market that will do this for you. Each individual is different - you may not be very adept at public speaking or keeping in contact with your downlines. If you are such a person, try to

find a system that can easily automate these tasks for

you. That is - if your primary program does not offer

such a system.

To sum this article up. Always, ALWAYS - treat your downline members as your business partners. That's what they really are. For your partnership to be successful, you need to build a personal

relationship with them. Let them know you can be contacted for advice on any aspect of business.You are only as good as your team. Your success is dependent on teams' effort.

Handle your downline with care!

Don't forget your target visitor when researching your keywords. Using a qualifying keyword (such as teacher or webmaster), will help narrow focus to that specific person.

Remember that affiliate marketing is, in fact, targeted marketing. The closer you can come to your visitor's needs and interests, more commissions you're likely to make.

Only now do you start to write your web site content.

First, write your target keyword at top of your page. Then, list two or three of keywords you found that will describe your topic best - as well as introduce affiliate program you are promoting.

Write each page of your web site based on specific keyword phrases. Keep topic narrowed on that keyword phrase (or phrases). You'll be writing each web page on a different topic - still within general topic of your web site.

Keeping your keyword use - and your target - in mind will draw visitor into your web site, and in turn, to your affiliate program's link. And your reward will be - more affiliate sales and commissions.
