Default Can you succeed marketing an affiliate based program?

Internet Marketing can be an enjoyable and profitable experience, but it can also be very frustrating, time consuming, money draining and anti social.

So why do we keep putting ourselves through all this pain?

Well, I’m sure that for everyone there is a different answer depending on your driving force, but for me it’s the thought that one day I’ll succeed and make a tidy income. God knows how many ‘Get Rich’ schemes are out there but experience has taught me that 95% of them are simply schemes for making the owner rich and not the affiliate. On the plus side, they do teach you the pitfalls of Internet Marketing and hopefully move you that little further down the line towards your ultimate goal.
You may think that this article is simply a moan about the chaos which is ‘Internet Marketing’ but I assure you that’s not the case. My aim is to pass on the good and bad of this type of venture and to hope that I can help someone to avoid the many obstacles and reach there goal reasonable unscathed.

Can you make money from a program which doesn’t sell a tangible product?

Time and time again you’ll see these type of programs – They’ll say pay $5 as a one off payment and we’ll give you thousands in return. The word that comes to mind is ‘Pyramid’. Logic tells you that $5 can never become $1,000 without you sponsoring thousands of people and then they’ve got to sponsor thousands of people and so on. At some point you run out of people and the system fails. You loose your money but the owner makes a tidy sum. Maybe the answer is to invent your own ‘Get Rich’ scheme but then, how do these people sleep at night?
Personally, these schemes should be outlawed because all they do is serve to undermine the ethics of Internet Marketing.
So, can you make money from these types of programs – My experience tells me ‘No’
Should you avoid them?
Most certainly ‘Yes’

What you have been through is very common. Ability to market well is the driving force of any business success. I am very happy and very successful with what I do and I put my success down to the serious marketing behind my business. And that is no sales, recruiting or promoting for me. I do not have to if I do not want to! So I have a question for you: If you had the best Marketers in the world building a business for You; how successful would you be?

I decided on a business with a tangible product and this is what my advice for you would be also. Whatever you do, look for a business that offers a great foundation as a stability to your business. That alone will guarrantee your success. Look for a business with a low business cost and also tax deductible as you can benefit dramatically from tax returns relevant to your elecricity, internet bills e.t.c. So with few words...go for a Real Business with a Real Product!
