The Easiest Way to Make Money in Internet Marketing
On the surface, affiliate marketing seems to be the ultimate business for people who are just getting started and want to make a few bucks online.
You’ve probably found many examples like these before:
· You don’t need to create your own product
· You don’t need to build a website
· You don’t need to build a list
· You don’t need to take orders
· You don’t need to handle customer support
“All you have to do is DRIVE TRAFFIC to your affiliate link and the sales will start rolling in…”
Unfortunately, traffic generation is where most people fall short. They get discouraged and eventually give up.
Generating traffic is not as easy as most of the ‘Gurus’ claim…
1. Advertising costs have gone up and Google has made it harder for affiliates to get traffic without paying a premium price.
2. SEO tactics that worked yesterday may not work tomorrow because the search engines can and will de-index your pages without warning.
3. Web 2.0 is the latest rage, but who knows how long that will last? It seems that every time a new traffic strategy comes along, everybody jumps on the bandwagon and it eventually stops working.
4. Traffic exchanges? Safe Lists? Surfing for hits? Don’t make me laugh… They’re all about as worthless as FFA links.
And even if you do eventually figure out how to generate consistent traffic, there’s another problem with affiliate marketing…
It’s not a stable source of income because you’re dependent on forces beyond your control
The fact is, if you leave the sales process up to someone else, your success will always be dependent upon what that merchant does or does not do. Product owners can change their affiliate links without warning, sell out to a competitor, or even drop their affiliate programs and refuse to pay their affiliates.
A few years ago, I promoted a membership site (I won’t mention the name) that paid monthly recurring income. I built up over $1000 in recurring commissions and never got paid a single dime for my efforts!
She said the database was corrupted and there was no way to figure out who she owed. So she just shut down the site and kept all the money.
There was nothing I could do about it. Even if I hired a lawyer, there was no way to prove how much I earned. And then there are the ClickBank merchants who leave commission leaks all over their site. They make it too easy for people to steal your commissions. There are ways to prevent commission theft. But the merchants don’t care because after all, they just want the buyer leads.
