* A complete and ready-to-market product * Usually some resources like sales letters, banners, headers and pre-composed emails * Often a known product to market. * Less time to get a business going. So, in a nutshell there is what most of the benefits for becoming an affiliate marketer are. I have also run across the degradation of each of these ideas. Let's take a look at what those reasons are. * No way to brand your name online * Resources are not always available. * The product is already being sold by too many affiliates. * Everyone has already seen the product and decided to buy or not buy * It takes just as long to build a business using someone else's product. And yes, I realize there is one extra negative to the four positives above. Let me refute each of the negatives as to why you should jump in the the internet marketing fray as an affiliate. Number 1. says there is no way to brand your name by being associated with an affiliate. This is wrong. The way that this can be done is the way Ewen Chia does it. Here is a link to a revised website done by Ewen. http://ewenchia.com/recommends/casestudy If you look at the way that Ewen presents his own picture and comments you see that he has done a remarkable job associating himself with the product. In fact, by offering his newsletter he can follow up on the initial impression of the visitor and benefit from doing so not just in adding to his mailing list but by his association with that and other products. He has essentially brand himself in so doing. Number 2, says that resources are not always available to help you market that product. That is true. In that case, you need to make the decision whether that is a no-go decision or not. What I have found is that products that do not have much associated marketing help are not that well marketed elsewhere. There is a positive and a negative in that. If you market well, you can be branded to that product and there propagate your name online. If you are truly a newbie and don't know how, are not yet adept at writing ad copy you might want to begin with another product. Number 3 above is just pure hogwash. The idea that any product is over exposed is nothing more than that little voice telling you that you won't be successful at internet marketing. The real fact is that there are over 6.4 billion people on this planet and more are coming on to the internet for the first time every day. Have those newbies heard of the gurus? No, to you, when they are ready to think about marketing as a vocation for themselves you will be just as much of an authority as anyone else. And be cause of this you can and will succeed as long as you don't quit. You won't run out of customers. Just remember the first time you saw and ebook or software that you wanted to buy. It didn't matter who was selling it. You bought it. Others will find you and buy from you as well. Don't let the small voice use numbers to lie to you. Number 4 essentially says that the product has peaked and everyone that wants it has bought it and you couldn't sell a drink of water to a thirsty man. Wrong again. Some products can run for decades if they provide a service to the individual that wants it. Sometimes a new and refreshing advertisement breathes fresh air into an old product simply because you have a new way to market it. So, you see, your reasons for not doing affiliate marketing are dwindling by the second here. Number 5 and the last one, can be answered like this. If you cannot or do not know how to generate your own product yet. Then the marketer that is allowing you to help him sell his product is a godsend in the time it will save you. While building your list of customers and writing copy or emails for a hungry audience may take just as long as if you had your own product, you have eliminated the hassle and time expenditure of creating and working out the bugs of your own product. Doing a product creation can take months even in the electronic delivery world that we live in. So, it might be beneficial to look at it this final way. Most affiliate programs pay affiliates about 40% to 50%. That's half of what the product creator is receiving. And all you have to do is market. Sure he has lots of affiliates working for him but few make big money for him or themselves as they become discouraged or just plain lazy. That leaves you in realtiy, the ability to become a star marketer, one that is branded, high profile, and earning a high income. And you thought the market was saturated.
