Make the
step-change from ideas to Action
Own a
Profit making business that:
 |
needs
little capital, either cash or time, to set up |
|
continues
to generate profits when you are not working at it |
|
is
mostly automatic in operation |
|
uses
the leverage of efforts by others |
|
generates
multiple streams of Profit |
|
.
. . . . |
|
 |
| One
of the very best ways to meet these criteria is by: |
|
| Affiliate
Programs |
|
Affiliates
Explore the Benefits |
|
|
These
programs are usually free to join, simple to set up, and generate an
income for you day and night. Make money in your sleep.
Literally.
They need
little input from you once set up, although you can enhance your
income by doing some basic maintenance work.
The income
can be huge, the Profits
enormous.
Please
don't overlook the Affiliate Programs as being a 'poor relation' to
owning your own on-line store. They are better for all the reasons
we have given, but just to recall, with an Affiliate Program you:
|
need
little capital, either cash or time, to set up |
|
will
continue to generate profits when you are not working at it |
|
have
an almost fully automatic business |
|
use
the leverage of efforts by others |
|
generate
multiple streams of Profit |
In
summary, Affiliates make Profits! |
|
|
How do
they work?
In many
cases it involves putting a 'banner' or text link on your site,
promoting the services or products on another Internet site.
If your
visitors click on the banner they are automatically taken to the
site promoted by the banner, where they will see more information
about the services or products offered.
If they
make a purchase you will automatically receive a commission. This
generally varies from 5 to 60% - 20% is quite normal.
But it
gets better than that. Some programs are two-tier programs.
With these you can recommend the Affiliate program to others and if
they decide to join, you get a %age of their sales. That's
leverage of efforts by others.

How a
customer can be yours for life!
Sometimes,
a potential customer will visit a sales site by pressing one of your
Affiliate links for a particular product but decide not to buy. If
they then visit that site later in the year and do buy, the best
affiliate tracking systems will still credit you with the sale.
The very
best affiliate programs are those where you are credited with any sale
for life!
Even
better, a few programs credit you with the sale of any
product bought from that site at any time, once you have sent
that customer to the site.
This is
far better than other programs that only credit you if the customer
buys first time.
All the
order fulfillment (delivery), credit card processing and processing
your income check is handled by the company itself.
