How to maximise the benefits from affiliate programs...By far the most rewarding affiliate programs are the ones that pay you a monthly residual income and I'm not interested in providing a full blown index of every opportunity out there only the ones I personally use and therefore can recommend or those that have been recommended by other respected people in the industry... So before we begin, let's see what a difference earning a residual income can make... Let's say you were involved in an affiliate program that paid you $20.00 per sale and you made just 1 sale... then obviously you have earned $20.00... But let's have the same scenario if you earn a residual income of $20.00 - that 1 sale is now worth $20.00 every month or $240.00 every year... Do you see that?... A residual income gives you an extra $220.00 just for the first year and an extra $240.00 every year after that... What if you were able to earn that residual income for life? Well let's just look at 10 years... 10 X 240 = $2,400.00... That's an extra $2,380.00 over a 10 year period. Now isn't that much better then the lousy 20 bucks you would have earned without a residual income?... Of course it is... Now let's look at the same scenario multiplied by 100 sales - with the average affiliate program you would have earned 100 x $20.00 which would be $2,000... and that's it - never any more money from those contacts... If you earn a residual income for the same amount... for the same 100 people... for the same amount of work it took for you to get those 100 people... you would earn $2,000.00 EVERY MONTH... $24,000 every year... Wow! What would that be worth to you over a lifetime?... I can tell you over 10 years that is $240,000.00 dollars... Now when you compare that with the non residual income of just $2000 you can clearly see that... You Must Be Able To Earn A Residual Income... Now for an even more important aspect... Earn your income from things you already need anyway, for example I have compiled a list of companies below that you need to operate an internet business...

Do not jump from one program to another unless you can devote the necessary time to promote them. Third you should choose a program that pays well. You will make more money earning $200.00 from just 1 sale then you will from a hundred sales that pay just a dollar.

Fifth you can design web pages to sell your affiliate opportunity...
