    Hi,

    Im pretty new here and I just want to hear your opinions. Im making pretty good money on different affiliate deals in different niches. I do this fulltime now and I keep wonder if I should try to create my own product and start marketing that instead or opening some membership site and get to the next level?

    However why would I want to start to deal with customers and put all that time into handling customers myself, giving money back when they unhappy and answering all their questions must take a lot of time. Not talking about the time to create a usefull products and keep it updated.

    Why not keep working as an affiliate and build more and better sites that provide a value to the user and sell affiliate products in lots of different niches to stay "hedged".

    All people say that you have to build your own business and create your own products but do you really have to do that in the long run?

    BR,
    Jokarl

    Indeed we do :)

    He is right though, it does take a lot of extra work to not only deal with the Internet side you also have to deal with the actual business.
    I HAVE to be up and going to answer the phone and email during business hours. Sometimes it gets quite chaotic when my CS person is away.

    I do know some affiliates that make six figures from adsene and affiliate sales...... sometimes on a monthly basis....
    On the gambling portal side of things you can make thousands per month from just a few good whales (people who gamble big money online)

    Agreed that affiliating is one of the way to make $. However, ones need to work work hard and put more times into it.
