Affiliate Programs?

Is it just me? Or do affiliate programs really work?
I've tried my hand at a few and they just don't seem
to be working for me. Let's take Edens Fantasy for
example. Okay I signed up with them a few weeks 
back. Now you think that once you sign up you'd
get your code and they would send you or whoever
wants to purchase something to a different page,
right? So not the case....they send you to the home
page. Once there I'm totally lost. Can't find where
I'm suppose to from there. Am I doing something 
wrong? I've been having  problems with another 
company I signed up with. Until this day I don't
know if anyone ever purchased anything from 
them through my affiliate link. Why? because 
I could never find the page that I'm suppose to
go to find my activities,earnings, or whatever to 
figure that out.  Now I've been hearing a lot of
great things about affiliate programs and wanted
to try them out but, honestly I'm getting discouraged. 
Anybody else having these problems? Can you give
me some advice on what I'm doing wrong? Have you 
been having problems? Have you been successful with
them? Help Me Please!!!!!:0)

My Perfume Collection Pt. 1























Here is some of my perfumes and hand sanitizers!
I put them inside these shopping bags because they
wouldn't fit on my dresser. I'll post the rest later!

I got these from Avon, Bath &Body Works, Victoria
Secrets, Walgreens, TJ Maxx, and a lady up the street
was selling some of this stuff for 10 cents and up!:0)

Ten Tips on How to Start a Concierge Business!

Ten Tips on How to Start a Concierge Business











By Katharine Giovanni
Katharine Giovanni
Level: Basic PLUS

About the Author: Katharine Giovanni, the world's leading international concierge training expert, has been training concierge for over 10 years. She is Triangle Concierge's senior ... ...





1. Do a business plan. It really doesn't matter how short or long it is, nor does it have to be fancy with colored charts. However, you really should do one so that you know where you are going, what you are doing and how you're going to get there.


2. Get some business liability insurance! Please don't start a business without it.


3. Legal Documents - contracts, agreements, etc... Get this right the first time and you won't have to put out fires in the future. You'll need both client contracts as well as vendor agreements.


4. Create your brochure, business cards, website and sales kit. This can all be done on a shoestring with today's software that is available, but having them is a vital part of a business.
You can obtain some terrific free business cards by visiting s site such as vistaprint.com and you can do a website pretty inexpensively as well. If you don't want to do it yourself, here are a few links to some "instant" website creation sites where you can have a site up in minutes ... bigstep.com networksolutions.com and godaddy.com


5. Do NOT quit your job, go out and rent an office, buy or rent furniture and hire employees. THINK ABOUT IT FIRST! First and foremost, you need to be able to feed your family and pay your bills so make sure that you have either enough money saved to last you at least 6 months, possibly even a year worth set aside or you have some other form of steady income flowing into your household.


6. Find a target market! There are so many niches for this business that you might be tempted to do them all when you first open up. However, I strongly suggest that you choose one or two niche markets and go after them first. Do them well and then you can choose a few more. If they don't do well and tank, then you have hundreds of other niches to choose from!
Choose a new niche and then re-focus, re-work your business and then re-launch! The key here is to never ever give up!!! Some niches around the country include hospitals, small/medium/large companies, condominiums, shopping malls, airports, office buildings, neighborhoods, individuals, colleges/universities, country clubs, senior market and more. I could go on and on there are so many out there!


7. Market, market, market ... join your local chamber of commerce, networking groups ... get out there and shake people's hands and tell them what you do! Talk it up everywhere you go. Attend as many expos and receptions that you can! I think face-to-face marketing is key when starting up a business ... so talk it up people!!


8. Be warm, friendly, approachable and extremely courteous 100% of the time. This is the key to being a great concierge! People may not remember what you did for them, but they will always remember how you made them feel and how you treated them.


9. Keep your focus on where you are going ... and not on what is hitting the fan at any particular moment. KNOW that you can do this!! See the future that you want, daydream about it and see yourself being there!!!


10. Finally, the most important part of concierge work ... Customer Service! It's the hallmark of the concierge industry ... over-the-top unbelievable customer service. I think everyone should build a customer service plan. You should talk about every day, not just once in a while! It's a way of life and something that you practice every minute of your life and in every facet of your business.



You can visit my resource directory on Triangle Concierge's website and you'll see a few insurance companies who are currently insuring the industry. You can also join the International Concierge and Errand Association and get insurance through them.
