It's not a great idea to promote only one affiliate product at a time for your market. However, promoting too much affiliate products is not a great idea. There are no rules for success. You have to test and track results on it by yourself. My experiences show that the rule of thumb for a number of affiliate products, which you should promote, is between 3 and 10 each time.

Without the list, you are wasting your time and money for selling affiliate products. Think about this way! You drive visitors to the website of merchants'. If those visitors make a purchase, you will receive an affiliate commission. If there is no any purchases, you will not receive your commission. With this situation, it is a great idea for affiliate entrepreneurs to capture visitors information, to later sell other affiliate products. With capturing the visitors' information, your opportunities to earn more affiliate commission opened and increased. You can later sell other affiliate products in the future.
8) Lack of strong back-end sales. The strong back-end selling is one of the most effective methods for affiliate marketing entrepreneurs to sell more affiliate products to the existing buyers or subscribers.

Also, you can continuously improve your home based affiliate business all the time and stay in touch in your company.

My highest recommendation is to have multiple streams of income to build through multiple affiliate internet marketing strategies. These strategies can be: article marketing, email promotion internet marketing, blog online marketing, search engine optimization, pay per click advertising and join venture.
12) I do not know how to get things done effectively. This is one of the most critical issues for affiliate marketing entrepreneurs.

My experiences show that the affiliate business is not the get-rich-quick scheme. You must decide, motivate and patient for your success in the long future. The only thing I can tell you is that the affiliate business is a very powerful business and it's a win-win situation between affiliate marketing entrepreneurs and merchants.
