It is difficulty to determine whether your team members are receiving your messages when they are inactive or partially active.

I can tell you what I do and find useful and that is to track my email communications to them. For example use a tracking code on your leadership page URL and place it in all your email communication including your team mails. Ask them to click on the link to confirm they received your email. You will then be able to see the number of clicks on

It is not only worthwhile, it is recommended by SFI.

You will be sending regular newsletters once per week to the team, as usual but a welcome letter must go out on the day of sign up.

When a new PSA signs in to the affiliate Center for the first time he will be greeted with a welcome letter from his sponsor. The sponsor must set up this letter and save it.

You should also send a welcome letter by team mail within 24 hours. New PSA's need to know about important

This is a question I have been asking myself. I see so many good answers with low votes and many not-so-good ones winning the first place.

Since the answers may appear at random, how often your answer appears would affect your score. This you have no control of. The earlier you submit your answer the more often it would appear.

I do believe that having a good knowledge of the topic or experience with the subject matter would get you more votes.

Time to evaluate what you have achieved. and why you couldn't achieve more. Be realistic.

Did you set goals at the beginning? Did you make a plan of action and write them down?
If you did not, You need to do so now for a year. Write down your goals and publish a business plan for yourself.

If you did set goals:
-Evaluate your achievements
-Modify your plan
-Start taking actions

Whether you set goals or not,use the goals

Blogs are not all the same, just as sitebuilders are not the same. There are many blogging platforms, their layouts could differ.

It does not matter whose banner you are installing, you must follow the instructions given by the blogging platform. Read instructions thoroughly to become familiar with the blogger builder that you are using. This is key.

It is all well to ask someone how to install a feature, but you must be familiar with the features of that blog and their

I have been an affiliate marketer for several years, here is what I see most affiliate programs have in common:
-Free to join
-Your choice to promote
-Free banners, text and video ads
-No training
-Help is difficult
-No networking with other affiliates, you don't get to know of them
-No entertainment, nor bonuses
-No business support(you are on your one)
-Individual oriented

You are only expected to sell a product or service and collect

When you say 'to promote' I take it that you are referring to advertising and promotion.

Firstly I sign in to SFI to see what is new that can be useful in my promotion campaigns.

For Sales I do the following:
-Check the latest items link at TripleClicks, may be there is a new product listed that I can advertise or promote.
-Place any new suitable products on my website to generate a sale.
- I Check the Deal-Of-The link and:
1-Notify my PSA's of any great
