I almost always
receive emails in my inbox asking me to join new affiliate programs. In fact, I most likely receive about 20 such emails every week.
What should you do when you receive offers to join a new affiliate script?
Usually the electronic mail
goes something like Please join our new incredible affiliate script that pays 50% direct commissions and 20% commissions for the 2nd tier
Your mind immediately focuses on the 20% direct commission and 10% indirect commissions that you receive on most of your existing affiliate programs.
Its not enough. You could be earning more. You could be earning half on every sale! Quick, you better jump on this new affiliate program as it sounds like a real winner.
But wait
The mistake you most definately
made is to join the new affiliate code
at all.
Follow these 3 Rules of Resistance when deciding whether to join a new affiliate program. These will help you decide whether joining a new affiliate code
is really the right thing to do.
1. You should ONLY join a new affiliate program if you can remain focussed by adding it. Will it detract from the
affiliate programs you already promote? Does it fit with the existing programs you promote.
2. An affiliate script is only as successful as the affiliate promoting it. It does not matter how sizeably effective a new code
sounds; unless you can completely devote yourself to the advertising of it, you will not overcome
with it. Ask yourself the
question Will you have enough instant to adequately promote this new affiliate program?
3. Will joining this new code
mean you have less instant to promote your other affiliate programs? If the answer is yes then your income from your existing programs will suffer. Unless you can be completely confident you may cover this loss of income with the new affiliate program, then do not join it.
Affiliates are always being bombarded with new opportunities and new affiliate programs that have even bigger and better commissions. However, unless you remain focussed, these new
opportunities are unlikely to result in greater success.
Often, resistance is the best path to success. Resist joining too many affiliate programs. I do it every day.
