Why You Should Be an Affiliate of Several Products

If you're like me, you're probably an affiliate of several
different products. While managing several of them can lead
to a bit of confusion at first, I still believe it's better
to be involved with more than one.

Why? More income! While I may be promoting Internet
Marketing products, it really doesn't matter WHAT area your
interests lie in. For example, on one of my other sites,
I'm promoting something entirely different. Never-the-less,
I am promoting 5 or 6 different affiliate programs, and it's
not even finished yet!

Why should you do this? Like I said, more income, but let's
break it down. Why does it necessarily mean more income if
you belong to more affiliate programs?

Because everybody is looking for something different. A
couple of examples:

1) You may have been marketing on the Internet for awhile,
but your sales aren't what you'd like. You've examined
every detail and come to the conclusion that you need better
sales copy. So naturally, you're looking for marketing tools
about sales letters or sales copy. A general overview of
Internet Marketing would do you no good. If I can provide
BOTH, then I can sell products to more people.

2) You're looking for a job and want a professional resume,
but you don't have a lot of extra money. In that case, you
need help writing your OWN resume. On the other hand, you
could be currently employed, with no time for learning how to
write a resume. In that case, you might be looking for a
resume writing SERVICE.

As you can see from the above examples, it just makes good sense
to promote more than one product.

Now, how to manage them? Belonging to several affiliate
programs can get confusing. It's easy to forget the URL or
the username and password. Here's what to do:

1) Write down every affiliate program you belong to. The list
is probably longer than you think!

2) Open up Word (or whatever word processor you like) and start
listing each complete URL to EVERY affiliate program. Then, beside
each one, enter your username and password.

3) PRINT THE LIST! If you join a new one, enter all the
information, and print a NEW list. If you're computer has
troubles, you won't believe how glad you'll be that you printed
this document!

Think you won't forget a detail? You will. Maybe not at first,
but before you know it, you'll belong to several affiliate programs,
and you'll forget a username or password. Then you'll have to
frantically search through hundreds of old emails, crossing your
fingers that you didn't delete it.

So join as many affiliate programs as you need, just keep track of
the details.
