Your affiliate business is like a relationship…

When many folks are dating, they treat each other with respect. Go out together, stay together, call themselves a hundred times a day, tell themselves how much they mean to each other, they do a lot of things. That’s why they have such great feelings for each other.

The wise ones understand what brought them together and keep on doing them — They have great marriages.

Others begin to take each other for granted. They stop all the "worthless" things that actually brought them together in the first place — You know what usually comes next.

That’s the same attitude that ruins established affiliates, reduces their affiliate revenue or totally wipes out their affiliate business out. If a new affiliate has this same attitude, you can be rest assured that their affiliate business will never take off.

It is taking things for granted.

When you respect people, you don’t take them for granted. Believe me, if you’re taking your list or visitors for granted, it will show in what you recommend and how you recommend them.

Do you go all out to buy and use each and every product you intend to recommend? That will mean you have a high regard for your visitors or list. They will see it in your writeups. And, they’ll will reward you by giving you massive commissions.

But if you recommend every product that promises a good commission whether it is good or bad for your visitors and subscribers, you’re taking them for granted and it will ruin your relationship and cost you your business.
