When first logging on to the internet it is natural to be filled with enthusiasm. Your first inclination is to jump from one program to another. They are all so 'enticing'! However, you MUST learn to ignore the "hype".

Choose one or two programs and work them. If you don't settle down and work a program or two, they won't work for you! The point here is to stay FOCUSED!

Try to focus on getting your website set up first. Even if it means that you have to pay someone to do it for you. Are you promoting affiliate programs only? Yes, you still need a website!

Be sure to place a lead capture page on your website so that you'll be able to capture e-mail addresses. Remember the money is in the (e-mail) list!

Once your site is set up, research and place a links page on your website.The more links you have pointing to your website the more traffic you'll receive and this will help to increase your search engine ranking.

Try creating a newsletter or ezine. This will help bring traffic to your website and generate leads that you can present other offers to later.

Then do some research on autoresponders and select one that will best fit your budget. You will need it to send your newsletter or ezine; and you can use it

for your e-mail campaigns as well.
