We all know that joining an affiliate program is worth absolutely nothing unless you have a significant sales force under your belt to promote it and build your income... You join a program, you get a replicated website with your affiliate info, they give you ads to promote, and all that good stuff... You're all excited (you're going to get some money!), but what now??? It's like giving you an arsenal of weapons, but then leaving you in a gigantic field, telling you to go get them!!! Get whom? Go where and How? OK! You start running in all directions, getting tired by the minute. The Internet can be the most confusing and distracting place you will ever be in... what you need is guidance and focus. Downline building is a numbers game... A lot, and I mean ALOT of affiliates who signup will do nothing short of nothing, really! 5 to 10% of all signups will actually do what it takes to succeed... The rest, well, they signup and wait to earn money while doing nothing. So when I say it's a numbers game, I mean the more you recruit, the more chances you have of finding diamonds in the rough... I will give you 5 ways to start building your downline empire... 1. Advertise in Ezines Find Ezines or Newsletter directly related to what you're advertising. If you're advertising a Home Business Affiliate Program, find Ezines that are related to Home Business Opportunities, since it's readers subscribed to be informed of money making opportunities. Remember to keep track of your advertisement's performance, so you can weed out the ezines that are not providing a good response. 2. Pay-Per-Click PPC is a great way to bring in affiliates. By bidding on a particular keyword or phrase, you can target exactly the people wanting to register to your affiliate program. Well researched keyword bidding can turn out to be your best investment ever, if you know how... There are many good books on the subject. There's one called "PPC Dynamic" in the "Promotion Guide" Section of my website for FREE (see resource box for address), if you need to refer to it. 3. Guaranteed sign-ups Another great tool... you pay for the amount of signups you want. They cost a little more, but in my opinion, they're worth it... You can buy 25 signups for $15-$20, but you need to have a great follow-up email sequence to motivate them and give them the support they need to succeed. 4. Writing articles What's better then look like an expert in your field... You need to "Brand" yourself to the marketing world. By writing articles related to your market, you will be perceived as a super-affiliate. Explaining some aspects of affiliate programs and their benefits, you entice people to listen to what you have to say. They see your name and recognize you, and come to trust you. Once you write your articles, submit them to Articles Directories where Internet Marketers can go and grab your articles for their Ezines. Hey! FREE advertising! Note: Be sure to include a resources box at the end of your articles telling people who you are, what you do and where they can find you. 5. Signature files Another free way to advertise... Viral Marketing... At the end of every email you send, include a one or two liner, plugging your affiliate program or a free book leading them to your promotion website. You just can't image how far an email can go without any effort whatsoever. ** Well, there you have it... these 5 ways are not the only ways, but they are the ones I use, and am most satisfied with. One more thing you need to do... Give your tips and techniques on how to promote to your downline... It's called "Duplication"... If you help them succeed, then and only then, will you be successful. Be there for your Downline, and it will reward you in many ways! To your success... About the Author: Natalie White is an Ezine Writer, Internet Marketer and Affiliate.

You can design a website promoting your favorite business programs. Give a brief description of each program, why you like it and share your personal experience. I use traffic exchanges as a form of advertising people build their downlines in traffic exchanges for referral traffic and income. This guy by the name of Jon Olson, co-owner of Pro Traffic Shop(If you want the link, I'll send you it) showed me about using splash pages in order to do well with traffic exchange advertising. Try building your mailing list and capture email addresses and keep reminding them of your favorite program

that all sounds well and good, but at ANY point those you add to your business, can NOT do exactly what you do, your business will break down.

This is a buiness of realtionships, and hleping others. Too often people think the first thing they do, is get out and create a web site, or drive traffic some place. That is all well and good and has it's place, but if you do NOT personally build strong relationships with those you are working with, get to know them, and their dreams and teach them do to what you do, you're building a house on the sand.

YOu build a downline ONE BY ONE... you start with one, work with them, add another one and another one, and so on.

KEep it SIMPLE and teach those joining you to do what you do

Implement a BEST strategy and like Daine said.

Keep it simple!

If you have and are following a plan for success, this should be easy.

Everyone I sponsor receives an "EASY BUTTON" from staples. Then we have make learning fun by hitting the button whenever something was easy. The button says "That was Easy" in case you never saw the commercial.

It is very critcial to your business to know your subscribers and have a relationship with them. This allows you to spot those leaders that will build a business so you can effectively and efficiently focus your time with them.
