Hi!!!
"What should an affiliate not do in first month?"
Answer......."WASTE TIME" for time is money.
from day one you should be mind set to WORK only you are boss.
When you first registered it take you to your to do list start right away and try to understand the system and if you invest that little required time I am sure you will get the idea!!
For this is what I feel new affiliates should not do "WASTE TIME"
