This particularly applies if you publish a newsletter. Let people know what is going on in your life. People will come to know all about your life, which is great, because they will also like you and trust you.

And what will people do if they know, like and trust you? They will believe what you say if you recommend a product, because they have faith in your integrity.

Who do you seek out on internet? Who do you listen to, and enjoy reading? Is it someone who expresses his or her opinion freely, tells you how it is? Or is it someone who you have no idea what they think? Well it’s person who already agrees with what I’m writing here, of course!

So, any formula you come across, any recipe for success, whether online or offline, don’t forget to add your personality and stir 3 times – it’s just about best free resource you can get, and it comes in unlimited supply!

If you lived in Los Angeles and just came up with something exciting, perhaps a clever bit of software, an information product, a new invention, or a package holiday company, affiliation programs can successfully put it on international or global network, resulting in cross-border sales in a very short time.

Needless to say though, product has to be good, or at least, good enough. What I mean by that is that it doesn't have to be "mind blowing" or in any way, "supernatural". A well put together cookery e-book can be as good as anything. And why would it not? Every one that I know, eats for a living. You know what I mean!

Pre-internet, affiliate could have been likened to sales representative. Now, though, affiliates don't have to "hard sell" or "cold call". They do not have to call to someone's home or place of business, hassling people. It is now done by e-mail to their subscribers, on and off-line advertising, and various other techniques. For supplier/manufacturer/creator/ genius, there is no medical insurance or pension plan, or other liability associated with direct staff.

It works, and is working!
