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.
