There are tons of affiliate programs around the internet.  Me myself have joined a couple only to find out that those spillovers and cycles were not too many nor fast enough to cover my monthly registration.  Only those on top of the program (normally the founders and their close friends and relatives) truly benefit such programs.  So what made me stick with APS?  To fully differentiate APS with other affiliate programs, here are what I heard from other affiliate programs and what APS truthfully told me:

They say... Welcome... Upgrade so you'll earn.
APS says... Welcome... Step 1, earn for free.  Step 2, earn more.  Step 3, earn best.

Sounds familiar to those who have been to a lot of programs.  APS is the unique program that will make you earn even at ZERO cost.  Step 2 and step 3 are optional.  With other programs, you would have to upgrade to start earning.  The least you can benefit with them is building your list, then come cut-off day, you're cut off if you don't upgrade.  No other business (aside from ClickBank as far as I know) can offer immediate venue to earn for affiliates without giving monthly membership fees.

They say... We answer all your questions.
APS says... Give. Get. Grow.

Assisting others should never stop (or start) at answering questions.  It should be a genuine intention of helping members get through every stumbling block to be able to succeed in the business.  At APS Forum, all members are offered all the possible solutions to their problems related to APS or internet marketing.  Moreover, they are provided with ways and means to get into the thick of the business even at a low budget.  Everyone is ready with a helping hand, super sponsor or not.  Its more than answering your questions... it's paying it forward.

They say... No recruiting, no selling.
APS says... Affiliatize, Monetize and Advertise.

Truthfully, APS tells us to be affiliates of programs and put branding on our business.  Getting your own domain and hosting puts the brand on your website since it will carry a name of your choice on your own website where you can fully benefit on profits.  If you have your own brand and products, then comes advertising and marketing.  It just follows that whatever you have, you have to tell the world your brand and product exists and make sure you tell them truthfully and how they will benefit from it.

They say... No recruiting and get spillovers.
APS says... Get your referral links and advertise like HELL.

The true essence of earning with affiliate programs is thru advertising.  Here at APS, we get to know free and paid ways to advertise.  We have to expose our referral links to as much targetted leads as possible so we can earn the necessary traffic to both our search engine and signup pages.  Some will tell you to sit back and relax and wait for spillovers so you don't have to recruit.  Well if you have the luxury of time, go ahead.  But most of us don't want to waste our most valuable asset... MOTHER TIME.  So let's do it the usual way.  As Tissa would say "Early to bed, early to rise!  Work like hell and advetise!"

They say... Get-rich-quick.
APS says... Learn to Earn.

This is the bottomline of every internet marketing, we learn the ways how internet marketers earn on affiliate programs.  Never fall for programs that says you don't need internet marketing knowledge to succeed in their program.  If you fall for that, you already failed.  No website earns without traffic.  To get targetted traffic and leads, you have to learn internet marketing.  In learning, comes earning.
