Where Do I Begin, What Am I Suppose To Do.

To start, you need to think about your goals, what are you trying to accomplish and before you begin -- committ to doing this for at least a year. Set up a budget and stick to it. Don't quit, the only person to blame for not being successful is yourself. Stay focused and with a little time, you will be glad you did.

Understand that affiliate marketing is not a get rich scheme and you must get over the misconception this is a lazy mans get rich quick program. The only way to make it with an affiliate program is to do some work. Just remember that network marketing is a relationship business, not a sales business. Sure you can sell people on joining you but if they do not do anything, what good is that - build the relationship. About 98% of everyone will fail at their current opportunity. If you have a relationship with them then you should get an opportunity to tell them what you do. Contact your upline and ask questions, find out what they are doing.


You may have bought an e-book that is telling secrets, well what did they say - keep focused, get motivated and make a plan. Then the e-book ends.

Here's what you need to do:
You need to set up a daily routine,
try to spend as much time as you can each and every day. A routine doing what??? You can post ads, send emails, hand out flyers, join yahoo groups, bounce backs, safelists, autoblasters, auto surfing and get some training. There are lots of things that you can do and I am going to explain them all. If you surf the internet you will find lots of opinions as to what works and what does not, I believe that they all work to a point and you should do as many differents kinds of advertising that you can. Some are completely free, some will say they are free and will have limited access - unless you upgrade and others are honest enough to tell you straight up that there is a charge for their service. Try to keep to 'free' as much as you can, especially with the smaller safelists.

Get Yahoo and MSN instant messager right away, they are a great communication tool and a great way to 'talk' to your prospects. Go to www. google.com and type ' install msn instant messenger' and 'install yahoo instant messenger ' and you will see the download and some help links in case you are having trouble.

What is a Safelist?
A safelist is a mailing list that is geared towards advertising web sites, business opportunities, and so forth. All members of a free or paid safelist agree to receive advertising emails from the other members. It benefits you by allowing you to advertise to a number of people via email, without having to resort to spam.

What Is A Traffic Exchange?
A traffic exchange is an exchange of traffic. The basic idea is you view other member's websites, and in exchange, different members will view your websites. The way it works is every time you view websites you earn credits and then you exchange these credits for visitors to come to your website. You can use traffic exchanges to get a steady stream of visitors to your website, without having to blow your budget or without spending hours of clicking to get credits.
All traffic exchanges are not created equal. You are smart if you only use the BEST traffic exchanges and even smarter if you refer people to use the BEST traffic exchanges. The reason you want to refer other people is because they will click to earn free credits. When they are clicking to visit websites you get free credits put in your account without having to spend any time or effort on your part

Do Some off-line Advertising

Place flyers near schools or in the super market or place on cars. Hand out business cards and brochures. A sneaky one is to send back company's junk mail with their return postage paid envelopes. Stuff it with your information and mail it back to them. Who knows who will open it and read it?? Prepare a standard email about your business and send it back out to people who have sent you theirs. This is known as bounce backs and its free to do.
