Here are three tips to help you save your time and money when you first get started.
1. How Long Has The Company Been In Business

This is especially true if you have to invest money to get started. Many affiliate marketing programs can be joined for free and you do not have to be quite as cautious with those if you have no initial cash outlay.

It seems like there's always another thousand dollar product launch coming out that is been touted as the next great thing. By the time you are finished getting through all the CDs and workbooks it's time to buy the next thousand dollar training material.
