Do some homework by searching for the best programs in your chosen field. Look at the individual programs and see what is offered to new affiliates. All programs have different incentives.
What is the commission structure like? Are there some high-end products available in the range and some entry-level products. With high price, high value items you don't have to sell so many to make a good income. They are not necessarily harder to sell, if they are good value and what people are looking for.
What training is on offer? Is it produced in an easy to understand format, is it up to date? What other support is available?
How well-known is the company, is it a household name? Do they already have a big following?
Is there a forum, Facebook page or community group, you can join for support if you wish to? What support mechanism do they offer newbies?
Find out as much as you can before you join, read reviews etc.
Find a good coach or coaching system that suits your style of learning, this will make learning the new techniques easier than trying to work alone. Information overload is a situation that hits new affiliates, plus the frustration of not knowing who to turn to, or what to do next. This can create thoughts of giving up and could make you abandon your new venture; resist negative thoughts and gain encouragement from your group.
With a good coach you will work a tried and tested formula that is proven to work. You will be learning tasks in the best order. Your product, sales pages and training are provided. Everything will be professionally prepared and the products will be a range of best sellers.
With the help and support of your coach you will soon start to earn commissions, whilst you are learning the techniques. Begin in your spare-time as it will be a while before your income matches your day-job, but you are on your way to an exciting future with time and location freedom and the satisfaction of developing your own business.
