You have just arrived at the most important part of your entire affiliate
business. Yes, I know some of you haven’t started yet. And I know you really
want to get Going! Your start will be delayed if you prepare everything
before you begin. But once you have completed preparations, you’ll roar
ahead. There’ll be nothing to repair or repeat once you launch.
Most people fail in any business because they don’t plan adequately.
That’s three times as true for an Internet business and five times as true
for what you are about to do. Here’s why
If you pick the wrong concept, if you develop the wrong topics, if you
pick the wrong affiliate programs...
You’ll get the wrong results.

-
Brainstorm Your Site Concept (Chapter 2)

you. Then narrow it down to the one with the most potential. Remember,
it takes just as much time to build a low-potential business as a high-potential
one. So invest the time now to maximize your returns later.
-

Develop hundreds of possible Keyword-Focused topics for your concept,
then narrow them down to the ones with the most profitability. Relax, it’s
a snap once I introduce you to a few Net tools.

that you developed, pick the affiliate programs that excite you and that
fit your concept.

to zoom. Don’t. Even though they are not difficult, they do require thoughtful
consideration. Remember, It’s a process. Take as much time as necessary
to do each chapter properly. There is no stopwatch ticking. Some careful
planning and fine-tuning will pay you big dividends down the road. |
