    The benefits of affiliate marketing and why you should not let this opportunity of this decade to slip you by.

    Benefits of Affiliate Marketing:

    1. You Do Not Need A Website To Sell The Product
    Majority of affiliate programs would provide you with a ready replicated website to promote their products. This is a bonus for all newbie affiliate marketers.

    2. You Do Not Need To Create Your Own Product
    The product is already created by the product owner. You only need to market it.

    3. You Do Not Need To Update Or Upgrade The Products
    The product owner takes care of all product updates and upgrades. You as an affiliate do not need to lift a finger to handle that.

    4. You Do Not Need To Handle Customer Feedback And Backend Support
    Not everyone likes to or is good at dealing with customer feedback. All customer feedback and backend support is provided by the product owner.

    5. You Do Not Need To Handle Transactions And Refunds
    All transactions from setting up the payment processor and so on are all taken care of by the product owner. Like it or not, there will always be people who request for refunds. All such refunds are also handled by the affiliate program.

    6. Payment Is Simple And Quick
    Most affiliate programs pay you either via checks or direct payment to payment processors like Paypal.

    Its great, but the real money is in making your own product rather than selling someone elses. But basically everything you said in this post is true.

    I agree that selling your own product is the way to go. But not everybody is into that and affiliate products are a great way to go.

    Affiliate Marketing can be good and it can be frustrating too.
    Sometimes it all went well and then it can turn bad too. I don't know
    if it's just me or that I'm doing something wrong.

    Affiliate marketing is a lucrative business but can be really frustrating when you don't have the learning curve

    All the comments are so true. There is a big learning curve, but you can make a little money along the way of learning bigger and better ways.

    Haha.. that's a great comment guys... absolutely agree.. sometimes make us frustrating..
    we tried hard to get some prospect or sell the product.. but only few visitor come in and go away.. thats why, we should ask or sharing to forum.. ask the expert and sharing what you've done..

    sometimes, we already did our effort to get revenue... but waiting to long.. or we don't why the payment not yet transferred.. :( and sometime we only make few campaign the get best result :)
    that's the bad and good news..
    wish you luck people... success..

    For some reasons, affiliate programs don't really work well for me.

    I also love affiliate marketing, so I would like to share my only regret about the mistake I made when starting out... I was reading / learning too much and working on it too little:)

    So for all the beginers - read one advice and implement it. Then go learn some more.. Rinse and repeat

    Its only good when you are young. After you in middle age you have lot of responsibility on your shoulders. House rent Garage rent Bills and all those cost for living that is day by day increasing. Children education their cost. I cant think of staying all day online for few $10-50 a day. But if you ask me why would one prefer staying with computers and earning $$$.

    Then the answer is
    COMFORT
    BE YOUR OWN BOSS
    Make Money Serve none

    There is no guarantee of any sort of earning online what so ever. Some got lucky. Some found what works. Some just utilizing to much brain power then usual.

    But lastly we all love computers and communicating virtually.

    That's so true. I have made the same mistake, and some times I still do it. You get so stuck in the rat race and could lose perspective so easy. There are so many products out there that you must be very careful not to buy everyone. If you decide on one, see it through and stay focused on it. If you do lose your track, go back and commit yourself to that again, especially when you have make some money with it.
