There's a saying that goes, "I'd rather have one percent of a hundred men's effort than a hundred percent of my own." That's the kind of leverage you can get from your affiliate program.

How Affiliates Multiply You
It might sound technical to talk about having an affiliate program, or it might just sound like showing off. It's neither one. It's really about a simple concept-leverage.
Let's look at some different ways that you can generate traffic:
* Forums
* Press Releases
* Viral Software & Tools
* Banner Advertising
* Utterz
* Viral Reports
* Starting a Podcast
* Search Engine Optimization
* Blogging
* Offline Marketing
* Squidoo
* Stumble Upon
* Digg/Reddit/etc.
* Article Marketing
* Ezine Advertising
* Google Adwords
* Craigslist
* Webinars
* Teleseminars
* Twitter
Long list, right? Now, are you an expert at each of those things? I'm certainly not.
I get a lot of traffic at my blog. But the main purpose of the blog is to communicate with my subscribers, customers and affiliates. And it took months before I saw consistent traffic from search engines, which is minimal compared to the traffic I get from my affiliates.
I've written several viral reports. But those are tools that my affiliates use to promote me. I give them the branding tools and they take it and run.
To get the amount of traffic I get from my affiliate sales force, I'd have to learn about and implement each of those traffic strategies on a regular basis. I don't know about you, but I just don't have that much time on my hands.
I'm only one person with only so many skills. But I have thousands of active affiliate who are promoting me and many are experts at one or more traffic strategies that drive traffic to my sites.
If you search on Google, you'll find that my affiliate team has:
* Posted my articles and banners on their blogs
* Created Squidoo lenses to promote my products
* Bookmarked my pages with links to my site
* Posted my free reports on their blogs
* Set up Adwords campaigns at Google
* Posted in forums with affiliate links in their signature
* Uploaded videos to YouTube
* Sent my solo ads and free reports to their lists
If you take the time to recruit and train affiliates, you'll get more done-and make more money-each day than you would by yourself in a month
And the good news is...you only have to do the work once. After you've created the tools and training materials for your affiliates, you could have 100 or 10,000 people using the same tools to promote you!
The real beauty of this system is the fact that you actually make money while building a list and recruiting an army of affiliates who send you traffic for free!
