Systems Run Businesses

McDonald's is largely run by teenagers — and still turns over millions per store. That's because of the system. Even "Would you like fries with that?" is a tested line. It gets roughly 3 in 10 people to add something they weren't going to buy.

Your affiliate business needs the same thing: a system that works on good days and bad days. Your "fries" is the natural next step — someone joins EFP Club free, and OLSP Academy is the obvious next step for them.

Five things decide how much you earn:

• Clicks — how many of the right people see your link
• Conversion — how many of them act
• Repeat sales — whether they buy more than once
• Commission per sale — what each one pays you
• Costs — what you spend to get there
