I joined several during next few months, but I just could not seem to find right one for me. Many were low cost or free to join, but product was not right. Some had a good product or service, but they expected a monthly fee to be paid even if you could not sell anything. Nothing seemed to be working. I just could not get right combination.

One day I was offered a membership in a new referral program. I checked out website. It seemed too good to be true. I was leary of anything that offered so much for so little. I did all of background checks. It was a legitimate company. Free to join and a low onetime fee ($25) to upgrade to affiliate. Fully refundable at any time. The product is an online community that pays all members a share of advertising profits. A pure Internet company. Nothing to make or ship. Just sign people up and they get paid for using website. The more people I sign up more money I make. Wow, could it be right thing for me!

I joined while company was still in pre-launch. I upgraded to affiliate. I referred others to website and started making a profit. What could be better then using someone else’s company to start my own worldwide business. All my criteria were met. A great product , low cost, good profit.

If you want to succeed in anything you must do two things. 1. Develop a plan with your own criteria. What is right thing? 2. Stay with it.

Just keep searching. Keep trying. Persistence pays.

* Forums and discussion boards -- with these a new member can get up-to-date information from other members and experts in field. It's also a great way to let members share experiences and "war stories" with each other.

* Weekly Conference Calls or "Power Brief" meetings -- When members know they can get updates about company, or ask questions of company, they will feel much more secure. They will also feel more like they are an important part of company (which, of course, they are!).

* Updated information, marketing materials, and web content -- it's important that members don't feel like they are getting help just once. Rather, they should know that help is always available. By sending out new materials on a constant basis, member will know that they are being cared for by program.

A lot has been written about customer service and support. Even if you think you have good customer service now, you should take a step back and see if your service is as ongoing as it should be.

Make sure that you are ACTIVELY helping new members and prospects!
