I am a single Mother of 3 wonderful kids, ages; 15, 16, and 17yrs old. When I was married we tried to have kids for over 6 yrs with no luck. We figured there were a lot of great kids that needed homes so we decided to adopt. We adopted a wonderful one yr old boy in 2004, then adopted his newborn sister a few months later. A week after we got her, I found out I was pregnant! So I went from having no kids, to having 3 kids in less than a year. Be careful what you pray for!

Affiliate Program - The Right One For YOU - By Michael Russell

Affiliate programs are a dime a dozen on the Internet these days. Everybody and their grandmother has one and each one promises more riches than the one before it. With all the hype that's floating around, it's impossible to know just what's real and what's just that, hype.

So, how DO you find a good affiliate program? What should you look for? Hopefully, after reading these few tips, you'll be on your way to finding an affiliate program that is just right for you.

The first thing you want to do is find an affiliate program that fits into your budget. Some are free to join but then there are those that require you to actually join the company as a paid member before you can promote their product or service. If funds are tight, you may want to go with a program that is free to join and then after that you simply promote your affiliate link to sell their product or service. This way, if you don't make any money, you're not out any money, unless of course you've spent money on advertising. But that's a different subject altogether.

The next thing you want to look for in an affiliate program is what it actually pays for each sale or sign up. You don't want to promote programs that pay very little. The reason is because your efforts aren't going to justify the low pay. So you want to look for something that comes with a hefty price tag. The downside to this is that you won't make as many sales selling a big ticket item because it won't appeal to as many people. You might want to consider a mid ticket item that will appeal to more people.

When looking for an affiliate program most people, unfortunately, look for the hottest new thing on the Internet. This has its pluses and minuses. On the plus side, you will probably make more sales since it is a newer item. On the minus side, you will probably have more competition because it is new and also there is the possibility that the program will go belly up sooner than with a program that has been established. many new programs fail in their first year or sooner. So promoting a new affiliate program is always a risk.

Finally, there is the ethical side of finding an affiliate program. Many, if you just read their sales page, are blatant pyramid schemes. Most of these programs will eventually collapse or be shut down. You have to go with your conscience on this one. You may make a lot of money on these programs at the start, but you'll be doing it at the expense of others coming in later on just before the wheels come flying off and many people end up losing their money. You really want to try to find a program that has a viable product or service that you can believe in. The program itself will have a better chance of surviving.

By following the above tips, you have a decent chance of finding an affiliate program that is just right for you.
