Did you know that new Internet Marketers have one major thing in common with experienced professional marketers?

How to find or attract great quality downline members to build your team and your business not just warm bodies to fill a downline and lump around.

The long term success of your company or your own affiliate work will depend on how well you can accomplish this single task.  Take a quick look at what you need to have in place so people who are,  indeed, already good affiliates will want to be a part of your team and will want to spread the word about what you are doing. 
What to YOU need to have in place? 

• An identity. First of all you cannot be invisible. Did you ever buy a car from an invisible salesman? Or open a bank account with a person you did not feel comfortable with?  Not likely.   It takes a huge leap of faith and a large portion of courage to step up to the plate and say- “This is ME – This is who you are working with and this is how I can help you reach your goals.”  And then put your photo, not your baby picture or your dog’s, YOUR professional photo or at least a decent likeness of you. Don’t hide behind your hand! Announce your presence.  Sometimes your success is as much related to who knows you as it is to what you can do.
  • A good and functioning system. Bounding about and shifting directions every day or every week does not build confidence. Somehow YOU got to where you are. What methods will you teach those who follow you?  What tools will you provide?
  • Terrific and professional personalized service. You MUST stand out from the crowd and giving your affiliates outstanding service and value that meets their personal needs WILL make a difference in their loyalty.
  • Good financial returns. That almost goes without saying, but it must be said. A good affiliate wants to be rewarded right away, up front AND regularly, on time and for the long haul.
  • Stunning and stable reputation.  In a world full of  jaded prospects and “snake-oil” salesmen YOU must be startlingly distinctive and have a solid professional reputation. If you don’t have one yet, build it.
