Ask questions first before you join an affiliate program. Do a little research about the choices of program that you intend to join into. Get some answers because they will be the deciding point of what you will be achieving later on.
Will it cost you anything to join? Most affiliate programs being offered today are absolutely free of charge. So why settle for those that charge you some dollars before joining.
When do they issue the commission checks? Every program is different. Some issue their checks once a month, every quarter, etc. Select the one that is suited to your payment time choice. Many affiliate programs are setting a minimum earned commission amount that an affiliate must meet or exceed in order for their checks to be issued.
What is the hit per sale ratio? This is the average number of hits to a banner or text link it takes to generate a sale based on all affiliate statistics. This factor is extremely important because this will tell you how much traffic you must generate before you can earn a commission from the sale.
How are referrals from an affiliate’s site tracked and for how long do they remain in the system? You need to be confident on the program enough to track those people you refer from your site. This is the only way that you can credit for a sale. The period of time that those people stay in the system is also important. This is because some visitors do not buy initially but may want to return later to make the purchase. Know if you will still get credit for the sale if it is done some months from a certain day.
What are the kinds of affiliate stats available? Your choice of affiliate program should be capable of offering detailed stats. They should be available online anytime you decide to check them out. Constantly checking your individual stats is important to know how many impressions, hits and sales are already generated from your site. Impressions are the number of times the banner or text link was viewed by a visitor of your site. A hit is the one clicking on the banner or text links.
Does the affiliate program also pay for the hits and impressions besides the commissions on sales? It is important that impressions and hits are also paid, as this will add to the earnings you get from the sales commission. This is especially important if the program you are in offers low sales to be able to hit ratio.
Who is the online retailer? Find out whom you are doing business with to know if it is really a solid company. Know the products they are selling and the average amount they are achieving. The more you know about the retailer offering you the affiliate program, the easier it will be for you to know if that program is really for you and your site.
Is the affiliate a one tier or two tier program? A single tier program pays you only for the business you yourself have generated. A two tier program pays you for the business, plus it also pays you a commission on the on the sales generated by any affiliate you sponsor in your program. Some two-tier programs are even paying small fees on each new affiliate you sponsor. More like a recruitment fee.
Lastly, what is the amount of commission paid? 5% - 20% is the commission paid by most programs. .01% - .05% is the amount paid for each hit. If you find a program that also pays for impressions, the amount paid is not much at all. As you can see from the figures, you will now understand why the average sales amount and hit to sale ratio is important.
These are just some of the questions that needed answering first before you enter into an affiliate program. You should be familiar with the many important aspects that your chosen program should have before incorporating them into your website. Try to ask your affiliate program choices these questions. These can help you select the right program for you site from among the many available.

Making Money Selling Other People’s Products
Making Money Selling Other People’s Products
A lot of people are now getting into online businesses and online marketing either to supplement their “real world” income or for it to become their primary source of income. Why? Because online marketing just provides them a lot of benefits!
First, you can reach just about anybody in the world who has Internet access if you market your products online. That means a wider market for you, which can translate to larger profits. Second, setting up an online business requires only a fraction of the cost required to set up an actual business establishment, which means a lot of savings for the business owner.
Another aspect that has attracted a lot of people towards online marketing is the fact that one doesn’t have to have his own products to get started. In online marketing, one can start making a lot of money just by selling, or even by just trying to sell, other people’s products. And getting started with this kind of marketing strategy is actually quite easy. All that one needs to do is to set up an agreement with an online retailer or merchant, and after everything is settled, one can immediately start making money by selling the merchant’s or the retailer’s products.
Incidentally, the most popular and the fastest growing method of selling other people’s products online is affiliate marketing. Affiliate marketing, in its simplest definition, is a relationship between an online merchant or retailer, who has products to sell, and his affiliates, who are willing to promote the merchant’s product on their website.
In a typical affiliate marketing set up, the merchant provides his affiliates with banners and text ads that links to his site. The affiliates will then get these ads posted on their website and they get paid whenever traffic or sales is directed to the merchant’s website. Affiliates are often paid on commission basis, although other online merchants would opt to pay a fixed fee for the affiliate’s compensation.
Starting to make money online with affiliate marketing is relatively quick and easy. All that one has to do is to sign up as an affiliate for an online company that offers affiliate programs. An alternative method, and usually an easier one, is to sign up as a member of an affiliate network—a network that hosts a variety of affiliate programs for different online merchants or retailers. Signing up is usually free, although other companies and networks may require you to pay a particular fee. Such fees, however, are made as payment for additional services that the company may render, like providing you with tools and assistance to jumpstart your online business.
When you sign up with an affiliate marketing program, you are usually required to fill out a form containing information about yourself. Some affiliate programs may also require you to present the URL of your website and describe its contents. This will allow the retailers to verify that you actually have a website with contents that are relevant to their products. Some affiliate programs, however, won’t require you to have a website. After filling out the form and all, you are then allowed to choose the affiliate programs you want to promote.
After signing up with an affiliate program and being an actual affiliate, you are now ready to start making a lot of money by selling other people’s product online. How do you make money? There are actually a number of ways for you to earn money as an affiliate, and most of these ways depends on the type of affiliate marketing program you’ve gotten into.
Many affiliate marketing programs compensate their affiliates in either of three ways: pay-per-click (PPC), pay-per-sale (PPS), or pay-per-lead (PPL). In pay-per-click affiliate marketing, the affiliate is paid whenever he directs traffic to the merchant’s site. PPS and PPL affiliate marketing programs work rather differently. In PPS, the affiliate only gets paid when his referral converts into an actual sale. In typical PPS affiliate programs, the affiliate would usually get 15% to 20% commission for each conversion. PPL affiliate programs work the same way, although affiliates are paid a fixed fee whenever his referral converts into a lead for the company.
Some affiliate marketing programs are two-tier programs, wherein the affiliate is also allowed to recommend other affiliates to the merchant. In such affiliate programs, the affiliate would not only be paid for the traffic or sales that he would direct to the merchant’s site but also for the traffic or sales directed by the affiliates who signed up with the program through his recommendation.
Yet another way of earning more profits with affiliate marketing is through residual affiliate programs. Residual affiliate programs are affiliate programs where the affiliate gets paid a number of times for as long as the merchant keeps the customer the affiliate has referred to his site. One form of residual program gets the affiliate paid a commission every time the referred customer purchases something on the merchant’s site. Another form of residual affiliate program gets the affiliate paid a percentage every month for as long as the company keeps the referred customer.
With a lot of options available and a lot of ways to earn money, affiliate marketing is undoubtedly the most popular and the easiest way to make money by selling other people’s products online. As to how much money one can get from affiliate marketing actually depends on the affiliate. A dedicated and hardworking affiliate would certainly get more from the program compared to those affiliates who would simply sign up and forget about the program later.

Selamat Hari Raya Idul Fitri 1430 H
Kami sekeluarga mengucapkan :Taqoballahu minna wa minkum, minal aidin wal faidhin.

Ya Allah, ya Tuhan kami. Jadikanlah kami semua hamba-hamba-Mu yang pandai mensyukuri nikmat-Mu, dan janganlah Engkau jadikan kami hamba-hamba yang ingkar dan kufur terhadap segala nikmat yang telah Engkau berikan kepada kami.
Allahumma ya Allah, ya Tuhan kami. Ampunilah segala dosa dan kesalahan kami, kesalahan dan dosa kedua orang tua kami, kesalahan dan dosa saudara-saudara kami, kaum muslimin dan muslimat yang telah melalaikan segala perintah-Mu dan melaksanakan larangan-Mu. Andaikan Engkau tidak mengampuni dan memaafkan kami, kami takut pada adzab-Mu di akhirat nanti dan pertentangan bathin dalam kehidupan dunia ini. Ya Allah. Janganlah Engkau limpahkan adzab-Mu kepada kami, karena dosa dan kesalahan kami. Kami yakin ya Allah, rahmat dan ampunan-Mu jauh lebih luas daripada adzab-Mu.
Allahumma ya Allah, ya Tuhan kami. Terimalah segala amal ibadah kami, terimalah ibadah puasa Ramadhan kami, terimalah shalat kami dan amal ibadah kami yang lain. Ya Allah, jadikanlah kami hamba-hamba-Mu yang selalu bertaqwa, yang ridha dan ikhlas untuk melaksanakan segala aturan-Mu, yang ridha dan ikhlas, menjadi Islam sebagai kurikulum kehidupan, yang ridha dan ikhlas, Al-Qur'an sebagai imam dan petunjuk kami, yang ridha dan ikhlas, Nabi Muhammad Saw. sebagai panutan kami.
Allahumma ya Allah, ya Tuhan kami. Berbagai macam ujian dan musibah kini sedang menimpa masyarakat dan bangsa kami. Kami yakin musibah itu bukan karena Engkau membenci kami, akan tetapi sebagai peringatan agar kami semua lebih dekat dan lebih cinta kepada-Mu. Agar kami semuanya lebih memiliki sikap سمعنا وأطعنا akan segala ketentuan-Mu. Agar kami semua kembali pada agama-Mu, yaitu agama Islam yang Engkau ridhai.
Allahumma ya Allah, Kabulkanlah permohonan kami. Hasbunallah wani'mal wakil ni'mal maula wa ni'mal wakil. Amiin ya Rabbal Alamin.
Mohon maaf lahir batin

d'smartchoice collection in bazar
d'smartchoice collection bazar present refanes and so...simply
Hari kamis dan Jum'at tanggal 3 dan 4 September 2009, menjadi hari yang "bersejarah" dalam perjalanan "belajar bisnis (dagang)". Ya karena pada tgl tersebut, saya dan istri mencoba untuk memperkenalkan produk2 kami (walau hanya sebagai agen) seperti jilbab dan baju refanes, kaos muslim so..simply, Alqur'an terjemah makna terbitan magfiroh dan assyamil serta herbal.
Walaupun melelahkan (bawa property selama 3 hari mencicil menempuh perjalanan sekitar 10 km bolak-balik), tapi saya dan istri tetap semangat untuk memperkenalkan brand yang kita kenalkan. Yang lebih senang lagi, ternyata diluar yang kami perkirakan, banyak sekali pengunjung ke stand kami dan membeli baik itu teman2 kantor atau orang lain, sampai-sampai istri saya tidak percaya dari omset yang kami dapat. "abi....abi...alhamdulillah selama 2 hari omset kita hampir mencapai 2 jt", kata istri saya. "alhamdulillah.... ah..moso sih", jawab saya.
Ada hal yang penting yang kami ambil ibroh dari bazar tersebut bahwa dalam segala sesuatu khusunya bisnis memang harus manage dengan benar, serius, serta bersabar untuk meraih kesuksesan.Semoga ini menjadi awal indah perjalanan bisnis kami..amiin.
mohon do'anya.
