Always read fine print. Make sure you understand payment clause. Many affiliate programs will only send you payment after you've accumulated a certain sales amount. Anything from $10.00 and up.

Payments! Affiliate programs might pay every other week, per month or per quarter.

You will receive a payment if you reach minimum balance in sales during that pay period. Most balances are accumulative. So, if you do not reach minimum during one pay period it will be rolled over to your next pay period and added to any sales balances. Once again, read fine print in affiliate agreement when you sign up for pertinent details.

Programs. Here are a few popular affiliate programs.

4) Desire – You can hope and wish to gain financial independence for rest of your life but it will never happen until you desire it. You must determine exactly what you want for your financial future and then let it become your obsession. Do not leave any room for failure or you will do just that… fail.

5) Purpose – In order to build a solid business you must have a central purpose. It’s easy to try and do a hundred different things at one time but it gets you nowhere in end. People that fail don’t have a defined purpose or goal set for what they are trying to do. When you try to do too many things at once, without really knowing what you are doing it for, then you will quickly find that nothing is working. Many people just give up at this point.

6) Education – You don’t have to have a college degree to work at home. In fact, starting a home business really doesn’t require you to have much of a formal education at all. However, you must educate yourself tremendously on your particular business topic. There is going to be a lot of things you need to know in your business. Most of it can be learned on internet or with home study courses.

7) Enthusiasm – You must thoroughly enjoy what you do in order to succeed at it. There is an old saying that enthusiasm is contagious. With enthusiasm you will have much more success getting people to do business with you. The whole purpose of working at home is to do something you like, under your own terms, so pick something you are enthused about.

Now, go back and read list again. Do you lack any of desired traits? Do you possess any of negative traits? Find someone who knows you very well and is comfortable giving you constructive criticism. Have them go over list with you to give you an outside perspective on yourself. If you find anything you need to work on, get started immediately. This is no time to procrastinate. Your future is on line!
