Top 5 Reasons Why You Should Try Affiliate Marketing

6 May, 2009 (16:43) | Affiliate Marketing, Passive Income | By: Dusty

Affiliate marketing is an entrepreneur’s dream. With my busy lifestyle, and family responsibilities, it is exactly the type of business that I need. In fact, it is the only type of business, besides writing for eHow, which I can fit into my life.

As such, I have compiled a list of my top 5 reasons why you should try affiliate marketing.

5. Low Initial Costs – Let’s face it. To start a typical brick and mortar company, you would need to have some serious cash, or the ability to obtain some major financing. Starting an online business, however, can be done with little to no upfront costs. Currently, my favorite method is One Week Marketing, which I can personally vouch for with regards to its effectiveness. This method teaches you how to create small streams of income using FREE websites. Good stuff!

4. No Payments to Collect – How many times have you sold something on eBay, or Craigslist, only to have that person never pay? I know I have had this happen so much that it makes it not even worth the effort of continue selling there. With affiliate marketing, if someone wants to purchase your product, they have to pay first. The best part is that all of these payments are collected automatically for you.

3. No Customer Support – When I was selling exclusively on eBay, I would spend a couple hours each week answering questions for my POTENTIAL customers. With affiliate marketing, I am selling someone else’s product. Since all I am is the middle man, I never have to spend time responding to questions. I can spend this time writing more articles.

2. My Business Is Not Location Sensitive – To earn a paycheck at a ‘normal’ job, you actually have to show up someplace. You typically have hours that you are required to be present and you typically have things that have to get done. With affiliate marketing, you can work whenever, and wherever, you want. Since I am just beginning my affiliate marketing empire, I tend to work on new niches after my son goes to bed. I get to spend more time with him and will, hopefully, be able to one day cut back on my hours at my main job.

1. Extremely Flexible – Within the course of any given week, I can actually have businesses in as many different areas that I want. I can sell vitamins and supplements, informational products, physical products (which I never see), books, etc.  If one niche bombs, I move on to another one that I am interested in. The flexibility is the major draw for me. I tend to get bored rather quickly and love the fact that I can bounce around as much as I want and STILL MAKE MONEY.

In my opinion, you cannot find a more effective method to create a better future for yourself and your family. If you are still on the fence, please check out One Week Marketing. Within as little as seven days, you can learn to construct a profitable online empire. So what are you waiting for?

Have You Tried Affiliate Marketing? Any Success Lately?

1 October, 2008 (03:04) | $10000 Challenge | By: User ImageDusty

While working on my debt snowball, I have tried to earn extra money many different ways. I have written a couple of posts for Smorty and Review Me, sold things on eBay, had a yard sale, taken surveys at Cash Crate and surfed the internet via Swag Bucks.

All of these methods have worked well and I have been able to make a few extra dollars to send off to my student loan. One method that I have not really tried yet is affiliate marketing. As I am a big believer in doing a ton of research before trying anything, I set out to find an affiliate program that would work well for me and this blog. I do not want to try and sell a ton of crap that I would never buy myself. I actually found The PepperJam Network on another blog and decided to give it a try.

The main thing I like about this program is that they have quality vendors. You can sell products for VistaPrint, GoogleGoldMine, Text-Link-Ads, etc. Additionally, Pepperjam has a nice referral program; which I see as a great opportunity to make money by referring your readers to join. You can sell products AND make money on every person that you refer. I think it is something like $7 per referral.

Go check it out and if you like what you see, sign up using any of my affiliate links (banners). I would truly appreciate it. Did I mention it was FREE to sign up!
