There are many horror stories about affiliate programs and networks.
People have heard them over and over again, that some are even wary of
joining one. The stories they may have heard are those related to
illegal programs or pyramid schemes. Basically, this kind of market
does not have real, worthy product.

You do not want to be associated with these schemes. It is obvious you
want to be with a program that offers high quality product that you
will readily endorse. The growing number of those who have joined
already and are succeeding immensely is proof enough that there are
reliable and quality affiliate programs out there.

Why participate in an affiliate program?

It allows you to work part-time. It gives you the opportunity to build
a generous residual income. And it makes you an owner of a small
business. Affiliate programs have already created lots of
millionaires. They are the living testimony of how hard work;
continuous prospecting, motivating and training others pay off.

If ever you are deciding to join one, you must take note that you are
getting into something that is patterned to what you are capable of.
This will be an assurance that you are capable of doing anything to
come out successful.

How do you choose a good affiliate program to promote? Here are some
tips you may want to look over before choosing one:

1. A program that you like and have interest in. One of the best ways
of knowing if that is the kind of program you wish to promote is if
you are interested in purchasing the product yourself. If that is the
case, chances are, there are many others who are also interested in
the same program and products.

2. Look for a program that is of high quality. For instance, look for
one that is associated with many experts in that particular industry.
This way, you are assured that of the standard of the program you will
be joining into.

3. Join in the ones that offer real and viable products. How do you
know this? Do some initial research. If possible, track down some of
the members and customers to give you testimonial on the credibility
of the program.

4. The program that is catering to a growing target market. This will
ensure you that there will be more and continuous demands for your
referrals. Make inquiries. There are forums and discussions you can
participate in to get good and reliable feedbacks.

5. A program with a compensation plan that pays out a residual income
and a payout of 30% or more would be a great choice. There are some
programs offering this kind of compensation. Look closely for one. Do
not waste your time with programs that do not reward substantially for
your efforts.

6. Be aware of the minimum quotas that you must fulfill or sales
target that is too hard to achieve. Some affiliate programs imposes
pre-requisites before you get your commissions. Just be sure that you
are capable of attaining their requirements.

7. Select one that has plenty of tools and resources that can help you
grow the business in the shortest possible time. Not all affiliate
programs have these capacities. Make use you decide on one with lots
of helpful tools you can use.

8. Check out if the program has a proven system that can allow you to
check your networks and compensation. Also check if they have it
available online for you to check anytime and anywhere.

9. The program that is offering strong incentives for members to renew
their membership each time. The affiliate program that provides
continuous help and upgrades for its products have the tendency to
retain its members. These things can assure the growth of your
networks.

10. Be aware of the things that members are not happy about in a
program. Like with the ones mentioned above, you can do your checking
at discussion forums. If you know someone in that same program, there
is ho harm asking if there are many downsides involved.

Have a thorough and intensive knowledge about the affiliate program
and network you will be promoting on.

Knowing the kind of program you are getting yourself into will make
you anticipate and prevent any future problems you may encounter.
