Whenever you sign-up for an Affiliate Program there are a few things you need to do right away.  Don’t wait!  If you wait to long, you will forget and never get around to it.

Steps you need to take when you join a Affiliate Program:

• Document the login url, username, and password.  Documentation is so very important.  If you want to keep your Online Business running and making money, you need to keep great documentation.
• Document your Affiliate ID or Link.  Same as above, documentation will save you time and money in the long run.One thing about Affiliate Links, they are just plane ugly period.  All those numbers and random letters, look bad.  Another thing about affiliate links is that someone can just remove the affiliate part of the link and go to the domain and buy the product.  This doesn’t hurt the product owner, even helps them as they get all the profit.  But it does hurt the affiliate, because he doesn’t get any commission for the work he has done.

  One of the best investments I have made since starting my Internet Marketing Business is Mike Filsaime’s “Power Link Generator”.  With this program you can take an affiliate URL like my Power Link Generator, https://paydotcom.com/r/72/tomshay/21375150/ and turn it into an URL like the one below.

  Which one looks better to you?  Check out my Blog Post on  Product Review for Power Link Generator for more information.

• Blog – Write an Article to Post to your Blog.  I like to do Product Reviews, and plan on doing a lot more in the future.  Use the product for a while and see how well or bad it works.  Give people the truth, not just the hype.  Write about the good points and bad points of the product.
• Autoresponder – Setup a 3 series email for your email List.  Add at least three emails to your autoresponder series.  Most product owners have one or two emails already written for your use.  Its very important to read emails and I recommend that you change some of the wording, so your list knows its you who is writing them.
• Think about where else in your online business you can use your affiliate links for this product.  (bonus pages, download pages, banners for your blog or website pages, 404 error pages and many other uses)
