Smart People Don't Just Accept Any Sponsor.

Think about it for a moment - you've found an excellent multi-tier affiliate program and you know your chances of succeeding will be helped dramatically if you have an active and experienced sponsor. A sponsor who's asleep at the wheels is no help at all are they?

You know this don't you?. Of course you do. And most people investigating residual income opportunities on the net know it too.

You didn't just accept any Joe (or Jane) did you? (well I hope you didn't!)

No, you stopped for a moment, thought about what's best for you and leapt on to Google to do some research on this person.

So, here's my questions for you today.

* Are you differentiating yourself from the thousands of Joe/Jane Does out there?

* Through your willingness to to share with, help and support others without expectation, are you developing a following?

* Are people increasingly recognizing you are an Alpha Leader? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alpha_%28biology%29

* Are you 'making enough mess' on the web so that when someone starts researching you on Google they can quickly see you're active, experienced and a leader they can rely on? ...........

Using Internet Marketing Forums. There is a right way.

One aspect of Internet marketing that I suspect most newbie marketers tend to neglect is the importance of participating in online Internet marketing forums.

Why are Internet marketing forums so important?

There is no better way to learn how to make money online than by interacting with the people who are actually doing it. Internet marketing forums are filled with people who are more than happy to answer your questions or help you out with a problem you are having. In most cases all you need to do is ask.

There is also the networking aspect of participating in Internet marketing forums. It always helps to get to know who the big players in any industry are but it’s even more important that they get to know who you are. Internet marketing forums are a great way to socialize and interact with these people get to get to know them on a more personal level.

And of course there is the traffic!

While you usually can’t openly promote your affiliate links on Internet marketing forums you can often add them to your signature which appears beneath all of your posts. The more posts you add to the forum the more likely your signature will be noticed by other forum members. If you’re lucky the thread you are posting in might even get picked up by some of the major search engines giving you even more valuable traffic to your links. .....................
