Why RESIDUAL makes a huge difference ?

By Hendra Subrata Liu

Why you must choose the RIGHT affiliate programs and why choosing the
WRONG program(s) to promote can literally spell out the difference
between success and failure. In fact, many people who wouldhave succeeded
in affiliate marketing did NOT succeed simply because they chose the
wrong programs to promote.

Let's get into this idea a little further today.

As an affiliate, you need to work with companies that put YOU first.
After all, you're the one driving the traffic to their site and they
don't have a lot of risk since they only pay you when you generate a sale.
But a lot of affiliate programs don't understand that. In fact, many programs
out there are paying 5-15% commission on products they should be paying you
a lot more for.

But there is another extremely important factor that determines success or
failure as an affiliate marketer. That is whether or not the company pays you
one time or pays you residual income for a single sale. This is a big, BIG,
*BIG* factor you need to consider before you join ANY affiliate program.

If you promote products from affiliate programs that only pay you one time
for a sale, you'd still need a job somewhere else to cover my basic living
expenses.

On the Internet, residual income is basically selling a "subscription service"
so that when someone buys the product you get paid UP-FRONT one time and then
each month when that person's subscription renews with the company, you get paid
again, and again, and again... EVERY MONTH for as long as that person continues
using the service.

90% of the people fail at generating any significant income from affiliate programs
are promoting products that do NOT pay a substantial residual income.

Affiliate programs that pay only one-time for a single sale are BAD for your
financial health. Think about it... It takes the same energy on your part to promote
something that pays you ONLY one time as it does to promote something that pays you
EVERY MONTH forever. So would you rather spend a day to make a sale that you get paid
for that day and that day only or would you rather spend a day and make sale that
pays you for the rest of your life?

There is only one RIGHT answer to that question.

You should ONLY focus on programs and products that pay you residual income.

Online business opportunities offer another great way to get paid residual income
on the Internet. The reason for this is simple. Millions of people are flocking
to the Internet every day looking for a reliable way to earn extra income.
So online business opportunities have become a HUGE industry.

The great thing about online business opportunities is that they are much easier than
offline business opportunities. All you really need to do for these is find out
where the people are searching for these business opportunities and POSITION yourself
in front of them. You don't even have to "sell" the opportunity. People are going to
join these opportunities anyway so all you do is setup your marketing in such a way
that people find the opportunity through your link instead of someone else's.

That's the power of the Internet. I always loved the concept of MLM, but I hated the
idea of face-to-face selling. With the Internet and tools like a website, autoresponder
and automated marketing activities, you can build huge organizations and earn tons
of money in these programs.

But again... The KEY is choosing the RIGHT programs.

If you are promoting the WRONG program, one of the following things will happen:

1) People won't join.

2) People will join and then quit and you won't make anything.

3) You'll get lots of people to join and then not get paid fairly for your efforts.

4) You'll get lots of people to join, get paid well for a few months and then the
company will go out of business.

5) You'll get people to join and NEVER get paid.

You absolutely MUST focus on promoting residual income affiliate programs if you want
to succeed as an affiliate marketer. Whatever programs they are right now, just make
sure they are residual! This is often the biggest difference between success and failure
for most affiliates.
