I realize I have said it before but I have to say it again. One of the best and free ways to learn about marketing and business is by posting on forums. You will soon get your name out there as well and may become someone look to for answers as well.
Forums are places of learning and interaction. The best forums will have experts posting regularly to give advice and interact with the forum community. Anyone can ask questions about starting a home business, article writing, how to see a scam, opinions on businesses and much, much more.
Its best to read before you start posting especially if you are new to a forum. Regulars on forums are often like a family and can be very welcoming. If you are new to a forum, ease your way in by introducing yourself and asking an intelligent question. You may be surprised by the number of insightful responses and maybe even become addicted to learning this way as I have. There is a great chance that an expert will read your post and respond with some insider help that is absolutely priceless. This happens often!
If you are becoming addicted and on the forum maybe even too much, then you know you are on your way to becoming quite a knowledge marketer and business person. If you are on a forum that allows promotion of programs you can now post about the program that you are promoting. You may even find that you will get inquiries solely because you are now a trusted member of the community. This is the best part. Now people will come to you.
It is not about an ego boost or just getting people to sign up under you. You have become a known internet marketer who is trusted and gaining a good reputation. Now that is where you want to be. And just think….out of the millions of people offering dreams on the internet, you are the one people choose to guide them.
Now that’s a good feeling.

I don’t know which is better. Checking my email and finding, “You have sponsored a new member” or checking my email and have a person thank me for being so helpful and asking for advice. I get great satisfaction from both of those types of emails. There are some great ways to gain loyalty from your affiliates that will help you to become a better sponsor and help your affiliates become more motivated and ultimately find success with their home business.
· You’re motivation needs to be contagious. There is nothing better than sharing your excitement about your home business and having your affiliates respond in kind. Share your successes and joys. During a slow period, give them ideas to pick up their business. You can exchange article ideas with them and each person can submit an article to www.ezinearticles.com. By doing this you are creating an advertising blitz for your home business and motivating your affiliates for the eventual outcome.
· You have to constantly be in touch and give helpful information. Any internet marketer, from the newbie to advanced marketer wants to know something more to better their business. There are always new techniques coming out to bring more traffic and the more you can advice you can give your affiliates the more loyalty you will gain. They will work harder for you and for their business. Also remember, your affiliates will appreciate the lower cost methods to promote. It becomes too much and frankly obnoxious if you are constantly telling them how they can spend more money.
· Give a freebie now and then. Until you are personally making some money, its not feasible to do this but when you are able, it’s a very good idea to offer to pay for a set of leads, a one month upgrade to a traffic exchange or even offer them one of your affiliates if transfers are available within your program. You must choose the affiliate that you believe will take that offer and really do something with it, but that can truly motivate them and in the end will benefit you.
· Call your affiliates. A phone call can make a very big difference. This lets them know that you are accessible and taking even more time to spend with them to help them succeed. It’s really a small gesture that can end with big results.
· Start an official training set of emails. Once you are in this business for awhile, there is knowledge you have gained that can help others. Write down a bulleted list of all the things you do to promote your program and brand yourself. Then go ahead and write a set of emails to send out that explain each of your bullets. Now you have truly helped your affiliates and you are on your way to growing a very powerful downline.
Take some time and try some of these methods. Keep working at being a better sponsor and you will notice a difference in the motivation and work ethic of your affiliates. It’s a win-win situation and everyone grows from this process.
