Past and present WSAH consultants wanted
I have no affiliation with WSAH. I’m sure I don’t qualify as I don’t reside in North America.
However many of my colleagues on various social networks are consultants for Wine Shop at Home. I am sure there is some collective wisdom about the program that can be shared, outside of the hurly burly of the programs downline.
As a start I’ve devised a 5 minute survey for current and past consultants of WSAH. Really i’m looking for an indication of what marketing mehods are being used and which are the most successful.

It’s free to fill in. I promise not to abuse your email address or an any way compromise your business.
You can remain anonymous. I will publish the general results on this website and send a more detailed report to survey participants - no promises of amazing breakthrough secret methods to explode your downline, just some advice from those who are succeeding.
I will also use the results as part of a guidebook to wine based affiliate programs that I am preparing.
So, if you’d like to participate just go over to

and get started.

This article examines affiliate programs which can act as your main or supplementary source of income. You really need to have your own website if this is to work for you. For information of how to get started with your own site see this article
The Hows and Whys of Affiliate Programs
- One of the most popular methods of making money on the net is via affiliate programs.
- If you own a website or a blog you are a publisher.
- Advertisers or merchants have products for sale.
- There may or may not be a program in the middle eg Commission Junction who manages the relationship between the publisher and the merchant.
- If you are a publisher you can make money if a visitor to your site clicks on a link and goes to the advertisers site and makes a purchase you will receive a commission on the sale. In some cases you will be paid just for the click, in others you get paid only on sales.
Pros and cons of Affiliate Programs
Affiliate programs are quick and easy to set up and they can make you a considerable amount of money. But most likely you will only get a trickle of money unless you optimise the process, from getting the prospects on to closing the sales.
