The biggest mistake you can probably make is to think that once you've got your sign-up, hard work is over. You've got your sign-up and you've made a couple of dollars, so why worry? Well, as any experienced marketer will tell you, a sign-up commission is fine, but real bucks are made when your sign-ups start signing up, and residual bonuses start pouring in. Therefore, when you've recruited someone into your program, work has only just begun.

One of biggest problems you will find is that people join your scheme, and then do nothing. It is surprising, but as much as 90% of your downline will probably remain inactive. So, why do these people join? Well, there can be many reasons. Some people join programs out of curiosity, some to get freebies that were on offer, whilst others just don't know what they're doing!

It's up to you, therefore, to motivate your recruits into action. Now, this is not necessarily as difficult as it may seem, provided that you remember 3 golden rules:

1. Communication. 2. Communication. 3. Communication.

I thought I did too.

I knew it, but I never really understood true power of viral marketing.

It's awesome.

I remember when I was growing up along a canal. We'd go out by water and throw stones. As stone would hit water it would cause a ripple to go from one bank to next.

Viral marketing is similar to that. Every time you send out an article, ebook or piece of software a ripple effect begins.

Your name and links begin to spread across net and across globe.

What makes this so awesome?

There is no bank on other side to stop your message from spreading.
