If you don't hear back from affiliate programs.

Follow up with them. There have been several that I applied with, both through affiliate networks and individually and never heard back from (and some still haven't even after following up). I even contacted CJ and asked if there was a possibility that they didn't get my request and they said nope, they probably just don't keep up with their affiliate program.

Why a business wouldn't want to keep up with it I don't know...

There have been a couple that have accepted my application because I followed up.

So, for you newbies like me, if you don't hear from an affiliate program don't be afraid to send them an e-mail!

Thank you for the encouragement. My thoughts are along these lines: It was suggested to us to apply for these programs as a way to spur us onward. Maybe prematurely. I feel that in my case my site was not ready for scrutiny from these programs. It wasn't ready. I will go back and apply again, but not until I have completed more lessons.

Affiliate programs were something of a mystery to most of us when we were starting out.

The only way to learn something new is to give it a go. The first few attempts in any endeavour, will always be failure. That's precisely HOW we learn.

Always keep trying, it proves you are serious

The corollary to that is, if you don't keep trying then you are very much not at all serious.

There is a very good reason they don't follow up. 99% of applications are a waste of time. By ignoring them they can spend more time with the 1% that demonstrate their persistence by chasing up.

That's a good point, I hadn't thought of that
