Editor's Note

Welcome to the The Honest Businessman Report Newsletter!

I have a free e-book I want to give you that I believe will help turn your financial condition around. Once you get it and read it (its only 17 pages) you're going to want to give it to as many people as you can. It's that good!

Now, I'm going to be honest with you. When someone first told me about the book and I saw the website, to me it had that spammy, hypey look, the kind of look I usually try to stay away from. I do have a reputation to think about. But...

Some say, "You can't always judge a book by its cover." Well in this case they were right!

After I read the book I said, "This is awesome. Everyone needs to get this book!"

If you trust my advice (I hope you do) then read it and do what it says.

You will make some money over and over again!

SUBJECT: Choosing A Profitable Affiliate Program 

Affiliate programs are a great way to make money online; if you
choose the right affiliate program.  That it why it is extremely
important that you carefully choose which affiliate program or
programs you want to join. When it comes to choosing an
affiliate program, do you know what to look for you?  If this is
your first time joining an affiliate program, you are urged to
keep on reading.  Below are some guidelines that you may want to
think about following.

Perhaps, the most important thing that you need to remember,
when choosing an affiliate program, is to not pick the first
affiliate program that you come across.  This is a big mistake
that many affiliate program participants make.  Unfortunately
for you, this can be a costly mistake.  What many do not realize
is that the product you choose to promote will reflect on you
and your business. That is why it is important that you take the
time to thoroughly examine an affiliate program first.  You will
want to choose an affiliate program that involves a product that
you can stand behind, one hundred percent.

 

One of the best ways to know that you are dealing with a
legitimate affiliate program and a quality product is to test
that product out.  Although you are advised to do this, you may
not want to or you may be unable to do so. If that is the case,
you can still research an affiliate program or even the product
that is being sold. You can easily do this online.  One of the
best ways to do your research is to perform a standard internet
search. Search with the name of the affiliate program or the
product being sold. You can also check out websites that are
known as scam websites. These websites tend to profile
companies, individuals, or business opportunities that regularly
scam consumers. 

Before applying for or signing up for an affiliate program, you
are advised to read all of the rules, restrictions, or
guidelines associated with that affiliate program.
Unfortunately, you may find yourself disqualified from an
affiliate program right off the bat.  For instance, there are a
large number of affiliate programs that prohibit their products
from being advertised on websites that display pornography, foul
language, and other offensive content.  Familiarizing yourself
with an affiliate program’s rules and guidelines will prevent
you from being denied from a program or later dismissed from
one.

Perhaps, one of the most important things to remember, when
choosing an affiliate program, is the product that you will have
to sell. In conjunction with making sure that the product is a
quality one, you will also want to make sure that it is related
to your website or business, in one way or another.  For
instance, if your own website focuses on computer programming,
you will not want to join an affiliate program that sells pet
products.  Joining an affiliate program that is related, in one
way or another, to your own website may increase your chances of
making a sale; thus increasing your profits.

Although it is important to choose a quality product to stand
behind, you also need to remember that your goal is to make
money. One of the easiest ways to make a substantial amount of
money is to choose an affiliate program that pays their
affiliates decently.  The average commission for affiliates is
three to five percent of each sale made.  While this is a good
percentage to make, there are higher paying affiliate programs.
You may want to look for affiliate programs that pay around ten
percent.  In fact, there are even a select number of affiliate
programs that pay around fifteen percent in commissions. 

The above mentioned guidelines are just a few of the many that
you will want to take into consideration, when choosing an
affiliate program.  Although the above mentioned points are
helpful, the most important thing to keep in mind is your
judgment.  Using your best judgment is the easiest way to choose
an effective affiliate program.

To your success,

Bryan Jones

P.S. If carefully chosen, you could easily make a full-time
living just with affiliate programs. My recommendation?

Tech Support

Just in case you think you are TC (technologically challenged). The following is an excerpt taken from a Wall Street Journal article:

    1.Compaq is considering changing the command "Press Any Key" to "Press Return Key" because of the flood of calls asking where the "Any" key is.

    2.AST technical support had a caller complaining that her mouse was hard to control with the dust cover on. The cover turned out to be the plastic bag the mouse was packaged in.

    3.Another Compaq technician received a call from a man complaining that the system wouldn't read word processing files from his old diskettes. After trouble-shooting for magnets and heat failed to diagnose the problem, it was found that the customer had labeled the diskettes, then rolled them into the typewriter to type the labels.

    4.Another AST customer was asked to send a copy of her defective diskettes. A few days later a letter arrived from the customer along with photocopies of the floppies.

    5.A Dell technician advised his customer to put his troubled floppy back in the drive and close the door. The customer asked the tech to hold on, and was heard putting the phone down, getting up and crossing the room to close the door to his room.

    6.Another Dell customer called to say he couldn't get his computer to fax anything. After 40 minutes of trouble-shooting, the technician discovered the man was trying to fax a piece of paper by holding it in front of the monitor screen and hitting the "send" key.

    7.Yet another Dell customer called to complain that his keyboard no longer worked. He had cleaned it by filling up his tub with soap and water and soaking the keyboard for a day, then removing all the keys and washing them individually.

    8.A Dell technician received a call from a customer who was enraged because his computer had told him he was "bad and an invalid". The tech explained that the computer's "bad command" and "invalid" responses shouldn't be taken personally.

    9.A confused caller to IBM was having troubles printing documents. He told the technician that the computer had said it "couldn't find printer". The user had also tried turning the computer screen to face the printer - but that his computer still couldn't "see" the printer.

    10.An exasperated caller to Dell Computer Tech Support couldn't get her new Dell Computer to turn on. After ensuring the computer was plugged in, the technician asked her what happened when she pushed the power button. Her response, "I pushed and pushed on this foot pedal and nothing happens." The "foot pedal" turned out to be the computer's mouse.

    11.Another customer called Compaq tech support to say her brand-new computer wouldn't  work. She said she unpacked the unit, plugged it in and sat there for 20 minutes waiting for something to happen. When asked what happened when she pressed the power switch, she asked "What power switch?"
