It is a simple concept that money-driven marketers have used to put their businesses in overdrive and make tons of cash with very little effort.

Create a system that sells your product effectively, then duplicate that system many times over and basically double your money each time.

Think if you had 300 visitors per day, with a 2% sell through, selling a $49 product. That equals out to about $8,800 per month, give or take.

Now think if you could just duplicate that by multiplying yourself across Internet. The idea is to do it without putting forth that much effort.

Anybody can duplicate themselves simply by working twice as hard, or twice as long. But who wants to work that much?

Below is a 3 step plan that I like to use to multiply my marketing efforts all over net. Try it out for yourself and I bet you will be pleased!

1) Start an affiliate program

An affiliate program is probably easiest way to multiply your marketing efforts all across Internet risk free.

Start an affiliate program and make it a significant part of your marketing strategy to generate traffic. Put forth some time and make your program a big hit, not just another program.

Set up your program to make it as easy as possible for affiliates to make a ton of money, whether they are newbies or professionals.

The more money your affiliates make, more money you make. And easier it is for your affiliates to make money, more they will promote and get others to promote. So don't just throw up any affiliate program, make it an incredible way to earn an income!

Here are a few things to remember when creating your affiliate program:

- Choose a professional software that gives affiliates commissions on all payment options (online orders, mail in orders, fax orders, etc..) Recently, affiliate programs who are not doing this are getting a lot of "bad mouth".

- Give reasonable commissions (25% and up)

- Give affiliates as many ways to link to you as possible, and make it a simple cut and paste procedure for them.

- Tell them exactly how to make money promoting your product!

We also join affiliate programs at two in morning and expect to have built a sizeable residual income by next afternoon. Unfortunately, things don't work that way.

When I was about 8 years old, my parents signed me up for swimming lessons, and I remember well first day of that class. That was day I met, 'The Gash'.

As I stood in shallow end of pool with about 6 other kids in my group, our instructor was showing us how to hold our breath and go under water. With me never having been in a swimming pool much before, however, I wasn't too keen on idea. In fact, I was resisting adamantly.

The instructor patiently tried to help me go under, for a while, and then apparently he'd had enough. Especially since I was encouraging another kid to rebel as well.

That's when 'The Gash' was brought in. He would MAKE us go under water we were told.

As I and my group stood in pool, suddenly a man appeared at edge of pool behind us and glared down from high above. He was tall, dark, and missing a HUGE chunk of flesh on front of his left leg. To a bunch of 8 year old kids, he was a formidable sight. The fear I felt in his presence manifested itself in form of rippling waves spreading out from my trembling body.

We all speculated as to what had torn a hole in 'The Gash's' leg as he and our instructor stood talking together. Since he was a swimming instructor, naturally speculation centered around water.

"I think he was bit by a shark!" one boy suggested.

"Or a sea snake!" offered another, "Or a sea monster like one in Loch Ness!"

"That's not it," another boy broke in. "I know what happened cause my dad was there. He jumped off BIG high dive at downtown pool and missed! His leg hit side of pool on way down and tore a hole in his leg! My dad said there was blood everywhere! People thought he was dead!"

The speculation ended suddenly, however, as 'The Gash' turned and spoke to us.

"Everyone is going under water today," Then turning back to our instructor he said, "Let's take them to deep end."

I followed silently in fear as we were all marched to other end of pool and lined up at side of diving board. One by one, kids from my group were herded to edge of pool by one adult and then 'helped' to jump off edge into arms another. The kids were being allowed to land fully in water, but then helped to stay afloat and swam over back to side of pool.

'The Gash' stood menacingly by watching over entire event. That is until it was my turn. As I reluctantly made my way to end of cement, I noticed 'The Gash' slip silently into pool below me.

"I'll catch this one," he said coldly to other adult. I looked over in fear at other kids who had gone before me. The look of horror I had on my face was mirrored back to me in their eyes as each thought to themselves how happy they were that it wasn't them up there.
