The Affiliate Interview - Do you have what it takes?
|
by
Marc Howlett
So you have decided to start up your own home businessand after hours
of searching you have decided on the program you are going to join.
|
|
|
| Now stop and take
check before you rush in.
Yes there are thousands of people running their own home businessand
yes they are making money from them.
What you need to stop and consider is that you will be running you own
businessand what does any businessneed to make money? You may come up
with several answers but let me tell you from experience the key
resource to any successful businessis its employees.
You can have the best product or service in the world but if your
employees are not up to scratch then you will not have a successful
business .
Now a quick search of the net will bring up thousands of affiliate
opportunities and companies willing to offer you the job of promoting
their service or product and they require little more than you email and
user name to get started. They do not really have a lot to loose by
employing you to advertise their service as they only pay you for result
so no sign ups then no payments, the only real sack able offence in
their eyes is spamming
However you do have plenty to loose so consider yourself to be your
first employee of your business .
What I am asking is would you employ you?
Do you have what it takes as an employee to make your business
successful?
Now would be a good time to sit down and think of the questions that you
would ask an interviewee before you were to offer them a job.
Here are 5 simple questions I asked myself before I committed to
starting my own online business .
1) What makes you want to start your own business ?
2) How many hours a week can you offer the businessand do you have a
quiet place to run your businessfrom?
3) What specific skill can you bring to this business ?
4) Where do you see yourself in 12 months time and what are your goals?
5) How much do you want to earn a month?
As I said these are the simple questions I asked myself, most of us have
had a job interview or two so you can think about the questions you were
asked and how they may relate to running your own businessonline.
You can also take this process one step further because as you start to
succeed with your online businessyou will start to build your own down
line. You need to look on these people as your employees and consider do
they have what it takes to help you grow a winning company.
A great way to use this is when you send out your welcome email include
a few simple interview questions. This will help you in 2 ways –
Firstly: You will learn more about you sign up and what their intentions
are, this will help make any follow up more personal.
Secondly: Will they make a good employee? If so then spend some time on
them and with your help they will grow their businesswhich will in turn
grow yours.
So would you employ yourself?
If you have decided the answer is yes then its time to start your
businessand start taking on your first employees.
Just one last thought for you:
“By working faithfully eight hours a day, you may eventually get to be a
boss and work twelve hours a day.” Robert Frost
