Do I Have to Join all the Plug-In Profit Site Affiliate Programs?

This is a question that I get asked often by people who are thinking of signing up for a Plug-In Profit Site. I thought I would write the answer here on my blog for the benefit of anyone who is considering signing up, or for those of you who get asked the same question yourself.

The answer is "No". You do not have to join every affiliate program if you don't want to or can't afford to. A lot of people who are looking for a home business are short on cash - that is why they are looking in the first place. If this is the situation you are in and you wish to get a Plug-In Profit Site I would recommend signing up for:

(1) Host4Profit - this is the only mandatory one and is $24.95 a month
(2) SFI - free to join
(3) Leisure Audio Books - free to join
(4) Traffic Swarm - free to join

This means that your monthly running costs for your website are $24.95 per month, as long as you use free advertising methods.

You have the option of joining Empowerism and/or Success University at any point in the future. I would recommend Empowerism first as this is the cheaper option and is a little easier to start making commissions from.

An Easy Way to Make Some Extra Cash

As a general rule, I only talk about things on this blog that are

a) Related specifically to the Plug-In Profit Site
b) Related to promoting your Plug-In Profit Site

My reason for this is that this is a Plug-In Profit blog and I don't want to stray from this subject too much or distract people who are focusing on promoting their Plug-In Profit Site and nothing else.

One of my concerns has always been that there are a lot of people who have close to zero money to spend on the promotion of their website and sometimes struggle to afford the $24.95 a month for the hosting, not to mention costs for the other programs if they chose to join these too.

For this reason I am always on the look out for easy, low risk or no risk ways for people to make some extra income. This income could be used towards promotion costs of your site, or just as an extra source of income.

One such program is something that I came across a couple of weeks ago and it is called Cash Crate. It is a completely free to join program and there are no upgrade options and no fees. You basically signup and complete offers in exchange for cash. Typical offers include short surveys, questionnaires, filling in forms etc.

As a test I joined this program and spent just over an hour completing some offers. I also told one friend about the site and he also joined and tried out a few offers. For my hour or so of effort and the same amount of time from my friend I earned $28.27. Ok, so it isn't going to make me a millionaire and I don't want to spend hours doing this a week, but it is something that you could join for free, spend an hour or so each week and earn yourself an extra bit of income. Here is a link to a screenshot of these earnings - CashCrate Earnings Screenshot.

There is also even more potential for income if you refer people as you can earn up to 30% of their earnings as well.

If you are interested in this you can join for free by visiting CashCrate.

It is open to everyone all round the world. I think there are more offers available to US residents, but I had 3 pages worth of offers to complete and I am in the UK so it is definitely not a USA only program.

I have also written a more in depth review of CashCrate over on my Internet Business Ideas Blog in case you want to know more.

Hope this helps you in some way!
