9 Reasons Why You Should Do Affiliate Marketing

9 Reasons Why You Should Do Affiliate Marketing

Here are 9 reasons why you should consider affiliate marketing.

1. Low to no startup cost. Choose a niche and the products or programs you can stand behind and sign up to represent them. Most affiliate programs allow you to market their services free of charge. You run across some that asks you to buy their service (s) before you represent them. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that in reality you just never want to represent a product or service that you do not try or use yourself. Your long-term credibility with your customers online is the greatest asset you have to be protected if you want to build a successful business online affiliate.

2. No inventory. The merchant you become the partner for taking care of product development, supply and storage. No direct interaction with customers, there is no need for a phone, separate bank account or business cards. All you will win your be sent by check or direct deposit.

3. Business is open 24 / 7. Unlike eBay or running an eCommerce site where you make a sale online while you sleep the customer receives the product / service instantly. No limitation on the geographical location, time zone, or hang out with "Open for Business" hours.

4. No customer support. The reality of any business is customers are your life blood. You need it. Affiliate marketing eliminates real interaction between you and customers because you are paid to bring customers to the merchant if the merchant processes the performance and troubleshooting.

5. No recruiting others to do the same (mostly). I personally have no problem with recruitment is to become of the other subsidiaries around me (which only accelerated my income) but if you are not interested in recruiting and other just want marketing the product, you can easily do that. There are affiliate programs where they pay you for the introduction of other affiliates and you will be driving one or two levels of production. This type of affiliates are rare and if you find one (if you're looking for it) and then enter the more because it is only healthy for your bank account.

6. You control the flow of traffic. You can use YouTube videos, article marketing, social media promotion and other marketing methods to generate more traffic to your affiliate site (s). It's your kind of income you want to do.

7. Chance to earn residual income. Create an income that comes from each month like clock work weather you work or not is the dream of almost everyone. This is common with network marketing, but less frequent with affiliate marketing. The great rewards of residual income will not be overnight, but if you give your new business for your time and commitment on 6 to 12 months, you could just make your income part-time time income full and finally the chance to fire your boss.

8. Multiple streams of income. Being an affiliate of several different vendors has its rewards. Receive more than 14 different controls of a month is a reality for many of my clients. Being an affiliate for a merchant is something I'd never recommend. You want to secure your income and not rely on one source.

9. Advertising is for you. Most merchants offer their affiliates banners and links for all you have to worry about is more people to see them.
