Most people are lazy and would like someone else to do all the work for them and we try to find ways to help our downline see that it doesn’t take that much work to get a business going. The key is having access to a lot of free resources, free tools and free advertising.

Keep in mind that You do not have to be in my downline to use any of these programs. If you are already a part of an affiliate program, here are a couple of programs and tips to get you started on your various endeavors:

* The Spiderweb Marketing System hot! – (FREE Program)

This amazing system utilizes 12+ streams of income. The beauty of the system is that you could literally set it up and let it do the work for you on autopilot. There are 22+ video tutorials on marketing your site. It takes a little while to set-up, but once you’re done you will have multiple streams of income.

* Join My Downline Club – (FREE Program)

Get a FREE Website and splash pages with all YOUR referral IDs inserted, Get Access a FREE Ebooks Library. You will have downline growth for potentially unlimited number of tiers – with all YOUR referral IDs.
Free Flow-Through of your referral IDs for unlimited tiers of your My Downline Club downline and Real-time statistics both of your direct and indirect downline size plus hits to your programs.
Once you get a few people in your downline that are willing to put a little effort into growing there own business, then you start to realize that you don’t need to put as much effort in to get new affiliates. It starts to become viral and this is when your effort will really start to pay off.

* Advertise on Free Traffic Exchanges

The basic idea for most traffic exchanges is that when you browse through these websites – you earn credits for people to visit your site. This way you can get free, targeted traffic directly to your website.

You also have the option to pay to get traffic without having to do any surfing but if you are on a budget and can’t afford to spend any money on advertising then all you need is your time to surf.

I’ve tried many different exchanges and the only one I really use anymore is TrafficSyndicate 25

These are pretty good also:
Traffic G
I Love Hits

* Contact Your Upline

Most affiliate programs will show you who you signed up under. If you have a way to contact them (email is preferred) then you should take advantage of it. If these people were able to get you to sign up through them, they probably have a good idea of what works. Send them an email and ask if they have any tips or tricks for building there downline. Try to think of this as a team project, your upline wants you to succeed, this way everyone makes money.

* Contact Your Downline

Let them know that you are here to help. Keep in mind that a lot of people would like to remain anonymous and don’t like being contacted. So, I would suggest that you send an initial email letting them know who you are and what program you are affiliated with (I wouldn’t try to call them). If they don’t respond to your email – wait a little while before trying to email them again.

* Advertise FOR Your Downline

I haven’t found a better way to strengthen my downline than this. Instead of advertising your affiliate ID you can advertise for someone in your downline. Simply fill in there username where you would put yours.

It kind of sounds like you’re giving money away right? Well, if your affiliate program pays you when you’re affiliates sign up a new member, like Direct Matches or GDI then you are making money anyway. Plus, you are giving the people in your downline a reason to stay with you.
