Like many of you I wanted to quit my job and build a residual stream of income that would pay me even if I was sitting on a beach sipping margaritas. I made the leap into network marketing about four years ago, and while I've built a business that pays me a residual check weekly, it's been a slow process, and success depends upon the reliability of those you recruit to take the training you provide and actually apply it (about 90% will do nothing). As my team grew, so did my workload. It was as if I was working two full-time jobs instead of one. But, that's about to end.



What we're all looking for, and why so many network marketers become discouraged and quit before they can achieve success, is something that allows us to make money quickly after we start. Also, we're looking to make money online to give us time freedom, so we need something that can be run utilizing a couple of hours per day, and can build long term sustainable income. When you set out to replace your current job, the last thing you want to hear is about the "five year plan." You want out now. That's what brought me to get involved with Affiliate programs as a way to quickly make the kind of income I was looking for, without being an expert in website construction or the time consuming effort that goes into creating my own information products to market. With a little work to get to know the product you are going to promote and some smart marketing for targeted traffic, you can quickly join the ranks of those making a full-time income on the internet. Affiliate programs are as close to instant gratification as you can get.

So, how do you know what affiliate programs to get involved with? It's best to become an affiliate of products that you have used personally and found to have been of benefit. It makes sense that if you found the product to be of use, then it will have use to others. Also, by having used the product yourself you are assured that it is in fact a quality product that you are representing. There is no quicker way to ruin your credibility with a customer than to recommend something that isn't a high quality product. Look for affiliate programs that actually over deliver on what they promise. This way, you'll have happy customers that will look forward to buying from you again in the future.

With a little research into each product that you select to become an affiliate of you will build a customer base that trusts your recommendations. That's a formula for success as an affiliate marketer for years to come.
