Hey, guys, i'm in affiliate marketing and IT is about 12 years already... And today i want to discuss with you one topic i am really care about. I just want to say: affiliate marketing is big scam scheme! Everything is easy. When you attracting customers to ANY affiliat program (excludes may be 1% of them, we'll talk about it next time) with thousands buks sales and get 1-3-5-10-20% only ONCE. They are not pay you for additional sales (upsale) lifetime. Have you ever heard about LTV? Life-time value of each customers. It worth much much more then they pay you. Something about $50000 per EACH suctomer you attract! Really. This customers will come back snd pay again and pay and pay again, buy you'll not be able to get any penny, you'll need yo work hard from morning till night over and over again, for get some cash for you, your family, and for your freedom, they never let you really get... You see, how can you call it? Marketing? Business? No, brother, i am calling it Big Scam (at the light version, lol). Why? Why should you not be paid EACH time your referral pay to your advertiser? Because there are too many shiny guys like you! It's easy. While you all ready to work 10-12 hours a day all time, for attraction clicks, build landing pages, optimise conversions etc. - they will more and more rob you! Yes, they are scammers! Nothing more. There are too many guys already, it's time to change something... Are you still here? Okay, nice news is that i know the way to change it. The best way to get as much bux as your hard work really cost WITHOUT crazy risks not be paid at all and lose last money - is to work DIRECTLY. You can find several (2-3-5-7) advertisers who have not enough impudence for participating in affiliate networks. Then you just should ask them: Hey, anybody want new customers!? Believe me: any businessman will answer you: Hey, mate, sure i want! How can you help me? - Then you should explain how can you really help them to attract customers and clearly explain how much % you like to get for it from EACH current and EACH next order from this customers you will attract. It's really works, believe me, it's surprisingly easy to make it done! You can do it within 3-5-7 days or less, really. Now you can use all your expirience and time not for just loosing it with risks and getting pennies, buy for building really strong, your OWN business-system, which will work every day 24/7/365 and return investments for you, not for your affiliate manager, not for your affiliate network or your government. Are you feeling something inside now? There are some resonanse, right? If it is true, don't be hesistate, let's continue this talk right here, on DigitalPoint thread, or (much better) let's communicate over skype (my login is: slavaposh), just add me and i'll create group chat where i will provide some of my private tools for DIRECT advertisers attraction absolutely free. Let's make this market cleaner! Let's change our present, for our children's future! I really want your children get PROUD of you! It's very important for me, mate, i taked about 6-month rest here, on Thailand, and now i comed back and want to make explosive things now, for you, and with you. So, what about you!?
Well it's not exactly scam, because everything is clear in terms of agreement. However you're absolutely correct: if you want to make some real money, play your game, not someone else's.
Affiliate marketing is the real thing. You can promote online product or you can be an affiliate for alot of major retail stores. PPC or pay per click is some of the most targeted traffic you can get online. You are putting your product and services in front of the person at the exact moment they need them. Making money online is all about the numbers. The numbers tell the whole story. There are a lot of numbers to know for example if a product is selling or not. It's what is called EPC or earnings per clicks. Conversion rates for your campaigns. Are the people taking the steps you want and if not how come. That is optimizing it. Takes work but the reward is very nice.
