    In my opinion, Affiliate Marketing is one of the easiest ways
    for anybody to Start an Online Business. Why?

    1. You do not need to spend any money.
    2. You can start with $0 down.
    3. You do not need to know much about Affiliate Marketing.
    What do you need?

    Actually you do not need anything just the desire to succeed.

    What do you guys think?

    I think #3 is off. Sure you can get started without knowing anything about affiliate marketing, but to really make money, you have to research and know what your doing. You could say that affiliate networking is cheap to get into, I don't know if I would say easy.

    Easy implies simple, and it's not really simple.

    Affiliate Marketing was the best choice I ever made, sure it was next door to free if in terms of monetary commitment. I think the 50+ hours a week I put into it in the beginning had a value....

    Just like any business you need to be willing to spend vast amounts of time investing in research, development and just learning the ropes but it does pay off in the long run......

    I agree with TStarnes. First you've got to do a lot of research on affiliate marketing, its basics, terminology. And I'd say that you will require money to get at least a proper domain and hosting. So, it doesn't sound like you can start with $0 down. But the desire to succeed is very important. Think positive and keep your chin up whatever happens. ;)

    You need some money but not as much as what others are paying to get started in an offline biz. It's a business after all :)

    You are right. It is the desired to succeed. However, i will not agree with you about don't have to know much about what is affiliate marketing. In order to discover ways and techniques to make more money online, learning more about affiliate marketing knowledge is an advantage.

    Late night TV blandishments screaming that this stuff is easy are nothing but scams. Affiliate marketing requires not only a desire to succeed, but a great deal of hard work, willingness to learn and experiment, and oodles of patience. Most people give up because they believe the hype that it's an easy way to make a living. When they discover that it requires all that hard work and strain on the brain, they quickly drop out. Only a very few succeed. If it was easy, everyone would be doing it. Good luck.
