What is your definition of Affiliate Marketing? (3 posts)

  • For me, Affiliate Marketing is one of the fastest ways to get started on theInternet and one of the coolest ways to generate multiplesources of income. In other word is SOPS: Selling Other’s People Stuff.

  • But…without having control of your own business… subject to complete shutdowns and being banned by internet website owners, search engines, jv partners, etc. at their whim… and without recourse.

    Better to make that a dessert, but not the main course, I think.

    Create and produce something YOU own and have the power to control… supplemented with Aff Mktg is fine.

    Just don’t rely on any one thing when working on the internet or for others who depend on the internet. Fortunes, as well as last dimes, are lost that way every day.

  • @Robin Carlisle, I agree. If you put everything into just affiliate marketing, you are placing your success in other peoples hands.

    You can start off with it to get some income whilst creating your own products, but once you have those you should only be using the affiliate marketing as an extra secondary income source.

    All too often I see affiliate programs disappear and if that is what you are basing your business on, then your income disappears along with the program.
