What could be better than exceeding your personal sales goals for a given month or year? How about doubling, tripling or even more of you sales goal for the month? This is exactly what affiliates can do for you. The amount of growth potential through affiliates is unlimited; the more affiliates you have the more money you can make, after all, if Sam Walton tried to run every Wal-Mart store, he obviously wouldn’t be very successful. You must realize that for maximum growth you cannot do it alone. Think of the success of companies such as Avon or Home Interiors. Their success is based on two things; a great product and excellent affiliate programs.

To attract affiliates to your company you should make it worth their time. Offering one percent of sales, is not an attractive offer, the higher the commission that you are able to offer your affiliates the more affiliates will be tempted to join your team. You should also provide your affiliates with the tools that they will need to unccessfully market your product such as banner ads, articles, and anything else that will help them to better market the product. You should provide the affiliates with updated product information through newsletters, new promotional campaigns and other things to motivate and inform the affiliates.

You can choose to run your affiliate program in a few different ways, both of which are beneficial to your business. A one-tier affiliate program allows you to generally offer a larger commission and pays on one level. The affiliate will receive a predetermined amount for each sale. Using a two-tier affiliate program, affiliates are paid on two different levels. This is done by allowing the affiliates to recruit others to sell under them. In this situation, the top level affiliate would receive a slightly larger
commission than the recruit or second level affiliate. For example if the top level seller makes 20% of the sale, then she/he would make 15% giving the second
level affiliate the 5%.

Setting up the affiliate program can also be done in two different ways. One way is to do it yourself through an affiliate tracking software. This software will provide you with a way to track affiliate sales as well as allow the affiliates to view their progress. The downside to this option is that you are responsible for making payments. You can also choose to hire an affiliate tracking company to do all thework for you. These companies will allow the use of credit cards and completely run the affiliate program from billing customers, paying affiliates, and also pay you. This is a great option for the busy business owner or the beginning business owner and it is
affordable as most affiliate tracking companies charge a small one time fee. However you choose to run your affiliate program it is sure to increase profits for
your business.

Many people tell us about their frustration with getting their downline into action. The question we return is, “What’s your level of action?” The majority of the time it’s only slightly higher than what the downline is doing.

Network marketing is a business that hinges on duplication. And no matter what your own level of success and action is, it will duplicate through your organization. Your activity will duplicate into an active downline. Your inactivity will duplicate into an inactive downline.

One thing to remember is that duplication is never exact. Once in a while you will find someone who will outshine your level of action, but this is rare. Generally your downline organization will do less than you do. This means that if you want to increase the average level of action, you must increase your own level of action even more.

TIP – If you’re trying to get your downline into action, star by looking at the motivation cycle:

First: Are you motivated to build this business and achieve your goals? If you are having trouble getting into action it’s probably not actually due to external influences like lack of time, health issues or financial struggles. You might think that it is but it’s not. After all, if you need an excuse not to make a phone call, listen to a training session or build your skills, you will always find one. Rather than make excuses about your inactivity, look for ways to motivate yourself to greater action. Discover a “WHY” that will make you do what you don’t want to do right now. Look for ways to stop procrastinating. Also look at what may happen if you do not take action today. If you’re happy with what your life will look like in three years, chances are you’ll continue to procrastinate and make excuses.

Second: Once you have yourself motivated it’s time to start motivating your downline. Help them find a “WHY” big enough to get them into action. Get them plugged into Leaders Club so that they have the opportunity to learn how to build a stable long-term business.

Third: Once your downline member has learned how to motivate themsleves, teach
them how to motivate their own people.

TIP – Becoming motivationally fit is much like becoming physically fit. Start with 10 to 15 minutes of positive thought a day. Listen or read something that is uplifting and makes you feel good about yourself and your future. The point isn’t to become fit overnight, but to build a habit and make a lifestyle change. Over time you’ll find your outlook becoming increasingly more positive. The result will be that you not only feel in charge of your own future, but you’ll also have the power to actually take charge.

“Motivation is everything. You can do the work of two people, but you can’t be two people. Instead, you have to inspire the next guy down the line and get him to inspire his people.” – Lee Iacocca

Your online business will likely require more advertising than a contemporary business downtown, yet some new to the world of online business do not spend the time and money to advertise their business appropriately and are, in turn, loosing money. Your online business is crammed into the world wide web along with thousands of others selling the same product or service as yourself. Consider this scenario: In your hometown you want to open an art supply store. In that same town there are thousands of art supply stores. In order for your business to be successful, it will have to stand out in some way from the others. This is exactly what is happening when a business is opened online. There is so much competition, that you must take drastic measures to ensure that you are getting noticed. Advertising can be done in so many ways online. These are some of the most successful ways that you can promote your online business.

Advertising in e-zines is a popular way to promote your online business. Ezines are the magazines of the internet; they written on a particular subject and read by those interested in that subject. Therefore, ezine readers are already potential customers and advertising your site in ezines that are related to your business is almost guaranteed to help drive traffic to your site and increase sales for your product. You should be sure when advertising in ezines that you are not advertising along side competitors. Ask the ezine producer if there is a policy concerning posting competing ads. It is also a good idea to subscribe to the ezine before making a decision about whether or not to advertise in it. An ezine that runs fewer ads is a better choice than one that runs many ads. You can look at the online Directory of Ezines to find publications that are relevant to your company.

Pay-per-click programs are an excellent way to advertise your business without taking a risk that you have advertised in the wrong place. With pay-per-click, you can advertise you site and only pay for those who click the link and go to your site. Another popular pay-per program is the pay-per-lead program that allows you to only pay for leads. Usually this means that you pay for only those who download a trail, fill out a form or enter a sweepstakes; whatever you choose. Lastly you can display pay-per-click banner ads in which your company would be allowed to place a banner on their site and you will be charged for every click that your banner receives.

Opt-In email is a great way to advertise your business, however it is expensive and it can be misused very easily. Using opt-in emails, you would submit your sales copy to the company that will in turn email it to those on their mailing list. You should be very careful since some of the companies that advertise their mailing lists as opt-in email service is sometimes really SPAM. It is essential that you have a perfect and effective sales letter when using opt-in mailing lists. Without and effective sales copy your money and time have been wasted.
