Why I Love Affiliate Marketing – Part 2
By Jimmy D. Brown of Affiliate Payraise
I’m sure by now you are well aware that there are those who have reported HUGE amounts of money being made with their online businesses. What you may not be aware of is the amount of work involved in generating those “sales” (not always net profit, mind you, this isn’t “spendable” income in a lot of cases.)
That brings me to the fourth reason why I love affiliate marketing:
** You don’t need to manage an entire business **
While it can be quite lucrative, running an entire business with employees, inventory, partners, vendors, and other associates can be a time-sucking, frustrating ordeal.
Imagine…
* Processing refunds
* Putting out fires when partners SPAM
* Managing day-to-day operations
* Overseeing projects you’ve outsourced
* Recruiting new affiliates
* Training everyone to help you
* Paying taxes
* Taking care of the paper trail
* Doing all of the “stuff” that business owners do.
Didn’t you want to start an internet business to make more time for important things in life?
Why not make a lot of money WITHOUT making a lot of extra work for yourself?!
It can be a lot of extra work and stress. BUT, with affiliate marketing, you don’t need to manage an entire business! You are simply responsible for promoting your affiliate link, someone else handles all the rest.
That’s why I love affiliate marketing. You don’t need to manage an entire business.
The word “overhead” is not a favorite among those who run businesses of any kind. Nobody likes the expenses of operating a business. And nobody really talks about the much when it comes to promoting all of the “money-making” products and services online.
But, don’t kid yourself, there’s a lot of overhead.
That brings me to the fifth reason why I love affiliate marketing:
** You don’t need a big budget to make it work **
Do you have any idea how much money is spent running an internet business? There are monthly fees for…
* Autoresponders
* Hosting
* Management
* Advertising
* Scripts
* Much more
There are regular fees for…
* Licensing
* Outsourcing
* Support
* Customer Service
* Maintenance
* Development
* Recruting
* Much more
It’s not uncommon to spend tens of thousands (even hundreds of thousands) of dollars in operational costs — which is fine if you’ve been in business a while and are making the bucks. However, if you’re a newcomer, it can be taxing on your budget!
SIDEBAR: I paid one girl over $30,000 last year just to oversee one small part of my business. No one talks much about it, but there ARE a lot of expenses involved before you get to the “bottom line” of profit.
BUT, with affiliate marketing, you don’t need a big budget to make it work! You can simply use a variety of free and low-cost marketing methods to generate clicks to your affiliate link.
That’s why I love affiliate marketing. You don’t need a big budget to make it work.
