BUT…

For those who are content in promoting other peoples programs…I will share with you a few of my strategies for FREE!

But before I do that, let’s see why most affiliates FAIL in just about any given affiliate program.

Like food products, affiliates have a ‘use by date’ or ‘expiry date’. An average affiliate will expire 30 days after commencing …30 days or less to see if program is any good and then they move on to next affiliate program of month.

If affiliate doesn’t see a return on there investment in first two weeks then they will not stay around.

DON’T BECOME A ‘30 DAY WONDER’.

It is time to make an informed decision (in choosing your affiliate program) and sticking with it. If you are one of those netpreneurs who changes affiliate programs often, and not making money from it, you now know why it isn’t working.

So before you go any further, make an informed decision (research) on program you want to promote.

Now back to those STRATEGIES – TWO STRATEGIES TO BE EXACT.

Strategy One

Now that you know you must spend some money, it's time to decide how much money you can afford to invest in your affiliate marketing business.

There are some expenses that you will have if you want to be successful. There are others that you can put off until time you start earning income from your affiliate products. The below suggestions are not carved in stone - they are just a guide. This is an Annual Budget - for first year of business. Some items that will need to be budgeted for are:

* Domain Name. There is quite a span between low-cost and high end cost of domain names. Why does Network Solutions charge $35 when you can get your domain name for much less elsewhere? I don't know, but when I got my first domain name, I went through them because I didn't know any better. Now, I get my domains through http://godaddy.com. They're a big enough company that they're not likely to "go under" and their charges for domain name registration is only $8.95 per year. If you shop around, you may even be able to find something less expensive. But make sure it's a well-established company! You don't want to lose your domain name once you have decided on it! You will likely get a better "deal" if you register your domain name for two or more years in advance.
