Just a friendly tip.
And in the process sign up for all the same over promoted programs as all the other impatient webmasters out there.

Some things to speed the process would be:-
  • Don't sign up with a gmail email account, use one that relates to real domain. That way we know you do actually own or control that domain.
  • When asked for a domain that you own, pick a live one that shows some of what you do and the style you do it in, not the new one you are working on that has zero content.
  • When the program owner or rep adds you to ICQ, APPROVE them, they're just trying to say "hi, how can we help?" and just check you are real, not waste a load of your time chatting.
  • Imagine you are dealing with a human. "Gimme my free content" doesn't play quite as well as "hey man, like yer stuff, can I get access?"
  • Telegraphing you have a short attention span doesn't inspire confidence. Good affiliates are hardworking, long term and patient in everything they do.
