What Affiliate Scheme Is Right For You?

How do I know if a particular affiliate scheme is right for me?
This is a frequently asked question by new business starters looking to make money from affiliate programs. There are various affiliate schemes you are likely to come across. If you don’t know what differentiates these programs you may be wondering how to find a good one and which ones to avoid.

There is always confusion between affiliate programs, MLM, Pyramid Schemes, and Matrices. With an affiliate program you earn commissions on all sales resulting from your efforts to promote the product or service. With MLM, Matrices and pyramid programs you earn commissions by introducing others to the program and from their promotions as well as your own.

Multi tiered affiliate programs and MLM programs are similar but generally affiliate programs are free to join where as MLM programs include a joining fee or some sort of initial investment.

Affiliate schemes are a very popular way to earn money online today. However, do you know what to look for in an affiliate schemes? It is important that you know what makes the best affiliate scheme to be successful before you sign up with any program. An affiliate scheme with a high reputation will enable you to succeed because it will be much easier for you to make sales.

There are many traps and pitfalls present in this business, which may result in loss of commissions. Doing business with reputable affiliate schemes is the only way to avoid such constraints. If you do not research this aspect, you risk joining an affiliate scheme which is a scam.

Here are several aspects to consider when looking for the right affiliate scheme to promote for long term success.

Affiliate Programs

There are hundreds of variations of affiliate programs. Things varying wherever from pay per click to paid per lead to pay per action, and other things in between. As an affiliate, it is your “job” to advertise the program you are affiliated with. ClickBank.com, Amazon.com, Commission Junction, Linkshare and Befree are probably the biggest of all affiliate networks on the net.

As an affiliate, your earnings will depend on how many visitor you send to your affiliate program and take action, either purchase a product, sign-up to a list, click on an ad or any other important action.

When you look into affiliate programs, you will notice that there are all kinds of them. The ones that I am interested in right now are the single-tier programs, two-tier affiliate programs, and multi-tier affiliate programs. You may not understand what the difference is, but there is a difference.

These types of affiliate marketing are based on the different levels or tiers that you will get paid within the network. Let me explain...

Single-tier Affiliate Programs - In single-tier affiliate programs you are paid one time. When a visitor goes to the merchant website through your affiliate link and complete the wanted action you get a commission one time.

Some examples of single-tier are Google Adsense pay per click (PPC), pay per lead (PPL) affiliate programs and many other programs pay only one time.

Two-tier Affiliate Programs - It’s a Kind of Multi Level Marketing scheme, whenever you’re a member of an Affiliate Program there’s usually extra incentive to recruit members underneath you. Rewards range from a percentage cut of Profits to one time payments.

Two-tier affiliate programs pay affiliates in two ways. They pay direct sales generated by affiliates, and also pay affiliates for bringing new affiliates into the program.

Here’s how it works.

If you are an affiliate of a program that pays you 45% commission when you made a sale, they will pay you also 10% or a flat fee of the total earnings of the affiliates that sign up directly under you.

But you should be cautious of any affiliate program that…
- Stress on the earnings you can make by recruiting affiliates than on the earnings from selling products or services.

- Pay a very low first-tier commission but a very high second-tier payment. These programs may fall under MLM, Pyramid schemes, or Matrices (more on this later)

Multi-tier affiliate programs - Multi-tier affiliate programs are similar to the 2-tier programs; but Multi-tier affiliate programs reward affiliates who sign up other affiliates several levels "deep".

For example, if Affiliate-1 recruits Affiliate-2 and Affiliate-2 recruits Affiliate-3 who makes sales and get commission, then Affiliate-1and Affiliate-2 get reward either from the efforts of Affiliate-3.
Affiliate programs can fall under a lot of categories and they have different types of rewarding system. As said above some programs are single-tier affiliate programs, some are two-tier affiliate programs, some others combine several different rewarding types into a single affiliate program. Affiliate programs can be very lucrative if done correctly, and I know a lot of people who make a nice income purely from working them.

You don't necessarily have to refer other people to be able to make money from affiliate programs, but it will usually help you to earn MORE cash than what you’d get by your own efforts.

One thing you need to succeed in affiliate programs is to make sure you are interested in the product you are promoting and capable to talk about it from experience. On my site you will see banners and links for Site Build It. I used the FREE information provided by this program to learn how to succeed in affiliate marketing. I used its free tools to build my website. So, of course I have knowledge of how it works, what people are saying about it, and most of that it gives you all the tools need to succeed as an affiliate. I feel it is the best program online so I can promote it and I'm receiving emails from happy people thanking me for doing it.

What Are MLM, Matrices and Pyramid Schemes

Have you ever wondered what the difference between these programs is?

MLM, pyramid schemes and Matrices operate almost similarly. However they differentiate each other in the importance of recruiting others to join the program. With these programs recruiting downlignes is their major concern. The more people you recruit the more benefit you will gain. In general they promote expensive and mediocre products, if there are any products to promote.

MLM - In MLM, the participants always gain from their investment. The catch is in the value of the product that the participant receives. In general the product is very expensive and with no significance. Also, some MLM’s promoters cheat their customers. This is the reason that MLM is not legal in many countries.

With so many MLM programs on the market these days, originators have tried to make their programs more desirable than others. For this reason you can find some legal MLM programs in some sense.

In a regular MLM program, your monetary gains are based entirely on how good you are at marketing the program. However, most people aren’t' very good. So it would benefit the less talented if they had help from the talented.

Matrices - Matrices are MLM programs but they work differently. Basically, if the number of people who can join under you is limited in any way, then it's a forced matrix. The idea being, if you refer any extra one will go under someone else. The best implementations put the extra person under one of the people YOU have under YOU. Therefore it helps the person under you, which helps you too.

The term is tossed around a bit, and sometimes not used at all. However, that is what defines a forced matrix. Sometimes numbers are used to describe a forced matrix more thoroughly, such as "4 X 4 forced matrix" for instance. This could mean that you can only have 4 people directly under you and only 4 people under those 4 who you receive commissions from.

There is a hybrid idea that has become common now, where by a person can deliberately place a referral in another line of their choice. A sort of traffic control attributes that helps originators get their referrals interested. This has been an attempt to make regular MLM more appealing.

The benefits of either are about equal. With a forced matrix, you stand to earn an income faster, but increases in income are slower because your referrals get forced further down the line from you. With regular MLM you have a stronger base, and sustaining it is generally easier, but first profits can be slow.

Some programs they don’t even have a product for you to sell, just empty promises of returns once you sign people up. Sign them up for what exactly?

Pyramid Scheme - With a pyramid scheme everyone in the hierarchy chain receives payments from people recruited by them (below them in the chain) and makes payments to those (above them) in whose recruiting line they fall.

This structure where commissions depend primarily on recruiting more and more members at increasingly lower levels is unsustainable and will eventually collapse.

Pyramid Schemes are illegal in many countries. We all know how these schemes work, or at least get the general idea. A person (the originator) starts by sending a message to several people. Usually people he/she knows. The message in some round about way, will tell everyone to send him $5 or so, and then send the message to someone else. All the while adding names to the list, and each new recipient must send money to the first person, second person...etc

There are a million variations of the Pyramid Scheme, but the main attribute that defines a pyramid scheme ( also known as chain letter) is that there is no product, it's just people sending money. The term "Pyramid Scheme" is derived from the fact that it starts with one and the size of those involved increases as you move towards the bottom.

How is MLM different from a pyramid scheme? After all, on paper any MLM looks like a pyramid in reality right? The differences are very simple. In MLM there is a product being sold. Income is generated from "commissions". It's actually a pyramid scheme, except that the participants get something back regardless of whether the people they refer actually pay for something.

To start with there is nothing wrong with MLM programs. There is however a stigma attached to it because so many people have been burnt by them before. When you think about it though it makes sense, refer people to a product and get a commission it happens in everyday life all the time. Then those people you found go out and get sales and you get a smaller percentage but are still rewarded for your efforts of finding that person.

I hate MLM programs not because I can’t make money with but in most cases they don't deliver what they promise. There are legal MLM programs with good products and it's your JOB to find the one that can make you money.

Do some people succeed in MLM? Sure, and many of them are honest people. But they work incredibly long, hard hours, and are blessed with a natural charisma that allows them to draw people to them. This is something very difficult for the average guy to duplicate.

Affiliate marketers who are serious about building a business should be reading and learning about business fundamentals, the latest sales and marketing techniques, strategies for networking and business development, building your own website is your best way to succeed. Act like an expert on your field, and people will follow you.

Is Blogging a Wrong Way To Make a Living Online?

I have a great obsession for blogging just like I do helping people. Like a lot of home business oners I found blogging is the easiest way to start an Internet business without capital. Yesterday I felt a shot in my heart, and lots of thoughts went through my mind when reading a webpage about blogging. Previously, almost every article, report, ebook, etc… I have read about blogging says that anyone serious about blogging will do well.

But what I have read in SBI website stopped me and made me think twice and opned my eyes to blogs’ reality.

At first, when I have read the first paragraph I said “All of products owners criticize their competitors’ products to gain the upper hand against them.” But, when I finished reading I realized that building and putting a blog as a primary income source needs careful thoughts and understanding.

We need to understand…

• Are Blogs created for personal or professional use?

• Are blogs for well positioned companies with strong management teams and pleasure only?

• Aren't blogs the right tools for a main income sources?

• Do most of small and home business are wasting time and money blogging?

• Is the blog approach was an error for most home based business willing to make a living online?

If all of these questions and more can be answered in the affirmative then the use of blogs worth further consideration.

What is true about blogging is that if you want to make a living from your blog you need to work hard… very hard…

You need to…

• Update your blog several times per week to really reap the benefits.

• Promote your blog so that you become recognized as an expert in your chosen niche and can monetize your blog.-

• Write and submit articles to articles directories to build inbound links.

• Post to Forums to increase your traffic.

• Participate in networking groups.

• Write your newsletter.

• Assist seminars.

• Answer your subscribers, customers and readers questions.

• Have time to your family, hobby, etc…… Etc, etc….

How much time do we need to do all of the needed work in a week?

Do you experience the stress of crafting every post, the time from idea to publication, the sleepless nights, etc…

Sure, we are online to make extra money, be financial free, be rich or whatever! Everyone of us expect to have.

We want also to enjoy our lives and stay healthy. Especially we want more FREE time while making good money!

Home Based Affiliate Marketing Business Start Up Secrets to Success.

I'm sure you want to own the best home based affiliate marketing business and be the kind of affiliate who gets a steady flow of monthly fat checks. 

There are thousands of affiliates making really good living online. However, it is sad to know that only a small percentage of affiliates are successful. 

Nearly 95% of them can not make money at all or they make just few hundreds of dollars each month, and the major reason is that they start without any knowledge about the affiliate marketing business.

Starting an affiliate marketing business is easy, as the initial costs are very low. But it is a business like any other. If you don’t treat your affiliate marketing business as a real business, don’t expect to make money.

When I started thinking about building my first home based affiliate marketing business to make money online I was thinking on how one is able to make money… big money and very fast! I believed at the marketing hype surrounding affiliate marketing business.

I believed that I can become rich and buy my influence and greatness like Bill Gates without doing anything, no website needed, no marketing knowledge, no programming knowledge, no business knowledge, etc…. I was an idiot. 

I was a goddamn idiot because I believed on all what they say…. So, I started joining any program that promises me instant reaches....

Like most of new business starters I spent thousands of hours working without getting a penny! In fact I wasn't entirely convinced that decent money could be made by affiliates in such ways....

...Well, I'm pleased to say that if you do things properly there's plenty of money out there. Of course the first and biggest step in doing things properly is finding out if you have what it takes to be a successful affiliate marketer.

Here are some of the elements that you need to consider in engaging yourself in affiliate marketing business:

Do You Want to Build an Affiliate Marketing Business Or Play a Game?

In case that you are planning to get yourself involved in affiliate marketing business, bear in your mind that it is a serious work. 

Though it is one of the easier ways to make additional or full time income, it still involves effort, perseverance, and a clear plan of action from your starting point to your end result.

In fact about 90% of affiliates fall flat wretchedly and give up in less than 1 year! From the 10% only 2 or 3% make it really big, the rest of the 7 to 8% just survive or are fairly successful. Do you know what makes the difference between them?

More specifically, do you know what it takes to be a successful affiliate? While there are many points to be considered, only some few select are really very important. 

Make sure you do understand that you should be building a long-term affiliate marketing business and not just something that makes you few dollars.

These are the ones that will actually make or break your future. Having said that, let's jump right in!

1 - Treat your affiliate marketing business as a real Business.

You can’t succeed if you don’t treat your affiliate marketing business as a real business. Most people when first start online, are not serious about their home business. They either do not acquire the needed skills and knowledge or do not make enough efforts and time dedicated to business planning and implementation.

When you are not serious in the thing that you are doing, most of the time you will fail. 

When you start to treat your affiliate marketing business like a real business, you will start to acquire the needed knowledge and skills, plan and execute the strategies to make your business a success. Then and only then you will see real results which can be affiliate incomes or business profits.

2 - What passion, expertise, or hobby to Turn Into a cash exploding affiliate marketing business?

Inside each of us there is an expert. What you have learned at School or College, in your day to day work? Are you a doctor, cars repairing, painter, etc..? 

Do you have an interesting hobby such as music, artwork, or photography? Or may be you love sports or travelling. 

Do you have a garden where you grow flowers? Do you love pets? All these things can help you make money with affiliate programs.

If you have a hobby or any expertise in anything at all, there are people out there who would like to learn from you, and they will pay to learn from you.

It's exciting and financially rewarding to turn your special talents into a successful home-based business. That's exactly what a lot of successful home businesses did. 

Most of them turned their hobbies or expertise into lucrative online businesses.

That is why many of people today go online to start home businesses; their reasons are either to supplement their income or to expand their local businesses to a worldwide level.

3 - Do you know your strengths and weaknesses?

You have to know what your strengths are, the things in which you are good at, your capabilities and abilities related to your chosen field. 

While it is important for you to know your strengths, you will also need to know your weaknesses as well. 

In order to become successful at anything, you have to know your weaknesses.

Know your weaknesses and work to improve on them. If you don’t know your weaknesses you don’t know what to improve. 

My belief is when applying for any job anywhere, you should know your weaknesses and have a plan to deal with them.

4 - Do you have the needed skills for starting home Based affiliate marketing business?

To be an affiliate marketer is not an easy task. You must have at least some basic knowledge for doing business online to get started. 

It's necessary to be well trained and have to learn the techniques of marketing your product or service in order to achieve success in this career.

You should learn how to listen and to be taught because in life we need to learn skills to get by. You must learn how to become an affiliate marketer.

In case you are relatively unfamiliar with business principles and concepts, you can get the necessary training that you need before you start joining any affiliate program. 

Some people thinks that just by having affiliate links on their website will bring them good profits. Some others think that by sending traffic to the affiliate program they will succeed. This is far from the truth.

You can start by finding FREE quality ebooks to learn from how to become an affiliate marketer. You can also find some affiliate-marketing professionals who already earned substantial extra income and let them guide you on the system. 

The Internet also offers different resources and conference programmes, which you can attend to learn how to become an affiliate marketer.

5 - You need to be creative.

You should to be creative. The real key to being successful with affiliate marketing is to develop a good content based website and weave your affiliate links into all your content. 

You have to provide your prospects with good, quality content to keep them coming back to your site.

Provide good information to help your customers and potential customers make money, save time, or solve problems. 

Make available resources and learning opportunities. Give people reasons to keep returning to your website to buy from you again and again. Build and maintain relationship marketing with your customers and prospects.

6 - Create a system.

The key for any business to succeed be it online or offline is to have a good system. To find such a good system, you can try to model the best persons around in the business. Study their system and find out how they work and how you can leverage on them.

Most Super Affiliates have spent a lot of time joining and studying other peoples systems before establishing their own. 

They usually are super affiliates that have good systems with good payout too. The best way to learn is to model from a successful one!

7- Do you have a place where you can setup your home based affiliate marketing business’ office?

Having your little home office is the initial element that you need to consider in starting your business career. 

Have your office workspace comfortable to work with. Make sure to get the necessary tools and utilities to make your work life less stressful, more satisfying and more enjoyable.

Never, Never Give Up

A real business takes time to grow and be successful. You cannot expect to earn some big bucks fast from your affiliate marketing business. 

Do not be disappointed if you make some efforts and not see the results you want. 

This doesn't mean that you are on the wrong track. The important thing is to work consistently and never give up.

The Bottom Line

Before you begin your affiliate marketing business’ venture decide:

• What your first priority is.

• What field you want to focus on?

• What products do you know the most and which products you could do the best job of selling?

• Learn, learn....and learn how to become an affiliate markter.

Now that you have known what it takes to create a home based affiliate marketing business, I hope you treat your affiliate marketing business seriously and take appropriate actions to make it a success.

How I Started Making Money Online

Several years ago, early in 1999 I have started touching the online world from a friend’s CyberSpace.

At this time I have no Internet connection and no PC. I remember when I first started clicking ads for a penny.

It doesn't took me long time to realize that clicking ads will lead me to nowhere.

As I'm searching online, I came across various online business types, I examine each and every every one of them as well as made the decision. I am going to make it happen, regardless of what will takes.

I got into online business, I expended thousands of hours, hundreds of days and weeks to acquire more information about how precisely that issue operates.

At that time I had a off-line work. I spent all my free time studying and learning about affiliate marketing, search engine optimization, keywords research, forums marketing, online advertising, traffic building, website design, planning, email marketing, MLM, how to create a newsletter, how to use autoresponders, how write online, email list building, etc....

In short I have studied almost everything related to how to make money online.

I lost a lot of time in promoting programs without avantage. The owners of most programs are promoting only dreams.

They promise large profit in a short time without trouble and no effort in your part. I believed these programs will make me rich in no time frame. Really, I was stupid.

I don't regret it. Clicking ads, promoting scams, etc... led me to other things more important that snowballed into a success story.

It was a bad experience in time investment. But, also it was a good starting point to learn, and understand that there's money to be made online.

That's what made me more curious and more persistent to discover this new world of online business and find out how to make money online.

How I discovered The Real...Affiliate Marketing

Making long history short...

During this period of time I learned how to differentiate between what is fantasy and what is realistic. I learned the ABCs of the game.

I have no website. I started promoting quality affiliate programs such as Amazon.com and Clickbank in forums related to online money making.

After all it was the only way available to me to dive in the online business.... After about 3 years or so of hard work I made my first check....

It was $34.35 check and I was quite happy. Why? Because I have seen that making money online is a reality. I have made my first check using free ways no penny out of my pocket.

Many of you may don't believe what they are reading. Believe it or not, it is the pure reality!

You can in fact build an Internet business and start making money even if you don’t have a computer and Internet connection. What you need is willingness to succeed and to learn!

Few days after receiving my check I picked up a computer and got an Internet connection and started marketing seriously.

I've created my website got a domain name, hosting account and free autoresponder account.

After 2 months or so of marketing online my income covered my expenses; and after about four months from getting my first check I made my first $1000! How I did it? This is what I’m going to share with you in “How I Started Making Money Online” articles series.

So, let’s go back and start from the beginning, even before creating my first website. I'm going to share with you everything I learned and tried myself over the years working online, and how I started making money online.

I had no idea about computer, Internet or anything related as I said it here.

When I was trying to find out how people make money online I came across Sitesell. I remember very well it was from Allan Gardyne Associateprograms.com.

I subscribed to sitesell.com affiliate program to get access to their FREE stuff (free ebooks, videos, articles, forum, ecourses, etc...) and started receiving the Affiliate Masters Course by email (Now it’s available as an ebook you can dowload it here) as Allan Gardyne suggested.

I was lucky to find site sell. From there I learned everything for FREE! It's not often that killer-info becomes available without having to empty your wallet for it.

Anyway, I followed the step by step instructions provided by Site Build It! Action Guide to create my home business.

I had an idea about nearly everything; but what I lack is an action plan that takes me trough the process. Really I was lost! I didn't know from where I have to start, how to proceed, where to end, etc….

I followed the 10 days ecourses to create my first website using FrontPage. You may understand why I have used FrontPage and not SBI!? If no… I had no money to invest!

Otherwise I didn’t spend more than 6 months to come up with an ugly website. Hey, it’s an ugly website for sure, but using SBI! Action Guide principles makes it doing pretty well!

When reading SBI! Action Guide and Affiliate Masters Course the idea for my business was born. It is teaching webmasters about something that I love and have expertise on it which is "Email list Building”.

The idea became clear and the subject had potential. There's no better way to build a flourishing, profitable small business on the Net.

It wasn’t easy…. But I would say Ken Evoy and his Sitesell have given me the information I ever wanted to create my home business. Without them, I would have been doing all kinds of "stupid" work to make some extra money to help my family financially.

What I can say is thank you Dr. Ken Evoy you made my life easier and better.

What I started doing is writing about email marketing, relationship marketing, list building, and related subjects; adding more and more content to my website.

I present articles to help people make money online and promoting quality products with recurring commission as an affiliate such as Sitesell products, Aweber autoresponder, Amazon, Clickbank, etc…

Now I’m making good bucks from these sites every month for a work I did one time and my checks increase month after month.

This why 2 tiers affiliate programs is a must for everyone wants to make good money from affiliate programs.

Now, I suppose you are convinced that making money online is a do able. If I do it you can do it too! You have no excuse for not starting a home business.

If you want to save money, shorten your learning curve and avoid big mistakes I made to start your home business read the complete articles series. See you soon.

What Link Popularity Can Do For Your Business?

Why Most People Will Never Make Money Online?

What I have seen is a lot of new home business starters are influenced by some well known marketers to "start in a niche they know a lot about", or base their business around "something they're passionate about"!

It sounds good... but not all of new entrepreneurs know about niches or are passionate about something profitable!

Because the simple truth of the matter is that the only way you're going to make real money on the net is, if your business is based around two fundamental things:

1) Large Demand
2) Buyers

For example - you aren't going to make good money selling or promoting a product or service with no demand. Regardless of what you're trying to market or how clever your sales pitch is, you can't sell a product or service without first finding a hungry market.

Also, you aren't going to make money by building a website about a "popular" theme such as humor, funny pictures, jokes, etc... Sure you can find ways to monetize your blog with AdSense, CPM Banners, CPA Offers, etc… but it takes literally millions of website visitors to make even just few bucks in markets like the above.

Instead, if you want to make it big online - pulling down an impressive six-figure income - you need to tap into markets with tons of demand, where the majority of the visitors are buyers।

When you find a hungry market of buyers, it takes no extra effort or "skill" to market a product or service! But it may takes long time and thousands of dollars in advertising costs to market something you're passionate about and no one or very few people need it. To put it simply, you need to uncover masses of people hungry to buy whatever you put in front of them. Even if you don’t know anything about the market it’s never too late to start learning.

These two factors DEMAND and BUYING TRAFFIC are what separate the "wannabe" marketers from the millionaires! Because there's no real secret - you just need to sell what thousands of people are already buying.

So, are you tapping into markets with massive, valuable demand? Or, are you struggling to simply make a few dollars occasionally with a business that's based on your own passionate interests?

Maybe you are in hot market but not making good money. If this is your case you may want to consider making some changes.

The first thing to consider would be to find out what is not working for you and what could be better.

In online business, generating traffic is the biggest frustrations for most of home and small business owners. If you are one of them and in order to solve this problem here's a checklist of certain items you need to consider.

- Change your website or sales letter content - There are some home business owners offer free content on their blog to help attract customers from free Search Engines and establish credibility! If you are one of them and you want to get more traffic, you should write more articles! Write relevant articles related to your field of expertise. Post these articles on your Website and/or Blogs or submit them to articles directories to attract traffic. It will take some times and effort to see results.

Other home businesses own one single sales letter. Those marketers believe that the creation of mini sites is better for creating sales. The reason is they don’t have any other content and will concentrate on promoting their business using Pay Per Click Search Engines (PPC) or to their email lists.

If you do not feel you write well it is a very worthwhile expenditure to hire someone to write your articles, get a membership to Infogoround.com that offers quality private label articles or learn how to write a copy that make you more sales and money. A well written sales letter will pay for itself many times over.

Remember to keep a copy of the older version of the sales letter since things can change quickly so you will be able to go back to the previous version if you find you are getting fewer results from the new copy.

-Try sending postcards to potential customers - Many people prefer to be contacted by mail and with today’s email having a multitude of offerings a post card very well can set you apart. You do not have to rely strictly on contacting people via Internet. There is a world outside of the Internet that can be used very effectively to get visitors to your website and/or blog.

If you don’t have a blog or content website that brings in a constant flow of targeted traffic to your affiliate programs or sales letter create one yourself that really sells, or hire someone to create it for you.

- Is your online business bringing repeat customers? What kind of ideas do you have about backend products? If someone is happy with a product that he bought from you s/he will be less hesitant on buying again and again. Be sure to promote your backend products to your excitant customers. Offer a discount or any other incentive to encourage your customers to buy. These repeat and satisfied customers can be great referrals to others about your online business.

-Never stop learning - “When you stop learning you start dying” Well said! So, never ever stop learning! You never know what new information you have may significantly change your business for the better. There are so many FREE quality ebooks and manuals that offer advice. Select one or two and really study them, put the ideas to work after you have read them and track the progress.

-Expand your income opportunities - For example if you sell a home repair book, you may also then sell blueprints or a series of ordinary project plans such as a deck, utility shed or any other related product। The trick is to...

• Find a natural connection.

• Become a leader in your market

It is profitable to think of a new niche market to become jointly involved with such as home repair book and then become a home loan or building loan affiliate. It is a matter of finding another niche market that can benefit from your service or product.

The final outcome is to find a market and give them what they want! Attract new customers while continually taking care of your current customers. Sometimes it is just a matter of some slight changes that will bring the desired income increase from your online business.
