Affiliate Marketing Is Not Dead – Don’t Give Into The Gurus

Affiliate marketing has been around for a very long time and people are actually making a lot of money with it. Today I want to show you exactly how they are doing it as well as answer any skepticism that most people have with what I consider to be one of the best business models. Ever.

With the few years that I have been working from home, I’m glad I never quit my search for a legitimate way to make money online because I would probably still be pounding the ground as an infantryman.

This is one of the best things that has ever happened to me and my family and I want to show you how things are done before you make a mistake that you will eventually regret.

What is Affiliate Marketing?

Nothing more than a way to make money selling other people’s products online. Sounds very similar to your typical small business model right?

The only difference is that it is done online, you don’t own the products, and you don’t have some crazy overhead costs that come with a regular business.

Oh, and you don’t have to physically talk to anyone. So please do know that affiliate marketing is not network marketing.

The problem that people have when trying to take on something like affiliate marketing is that they come across many scams that give the industry a bad name.

They try to tell you that affiliate marketing doesn’t work and it is dead, just so they can pitch you their scheme that I can promise you doesn’t work.

They Make Money With Affiliate Marketing

I hate these people trying to pitch you their product, because most of the time they are actually some of the best in the business.

They use the industry to their advantage and really just take your money without a care if you make money or not.

They bash it and tell you it doesn’t work, when they are really using it as a gateway to get you to join their network marketing scheme.

There is no easy way to make money online and that’s the truth. These scams will not last long and it is only a matter of time before they get shutdown. Then where will that leave you?

Get the Right Training and Support

If you are wanting to make money with affiliate marketing, you really just need the right training. Although you can find free training on affiliate marketing, most people will not succeed because they don’t have the right support.

There is more to this than just taking products and selling them. You still have to create your website, which can literally be done in under 30 seconds.

Then you have the monetizing part and getting traffic, which most people have no clue about. Don’t understand these two things and you can consider yourself another online marketing flop.

Affiliate Marketing is Not Dead

I can’t stand this. There is an online marketing guru named Adeel Choudhry, who actually owns a product called Income Society. I got into the biggest argument about affiliate marketing and he only disagreed because I called him out on his scam.

His bashing of affiliate marketing was nothing but a way to get you to join his program, which actually promoted affiliate marketing in the front end.

It gave you some training for free, and then bam! He would sell things for thousands of dollars, then offer you the chance to buy a license so that you can sell the same thing that you just bought.

These type of people give affiliate marketing a bad name and you will only regret  it if you don’t give it a try.

Get Started on the Right Foot

Although affiliate marketing is a great way to make money from home, there aren’t many places that will show you EXACTLY how to do it.

They will give you a very basic course and that is it. Then you will find yourself stuck and eventually quitting because you don’t know what to do next.

If you are really looking to make money with affiliate marketing, you need to use programs like Wealthy Affiliate.

It is still my #1 recommendation when it comes to making a living from home and I don’t think they’ll be going anywhere either.

They offer a free starter membership as well as unlimited coaching and support for premium members. This is all you really need to be a successful online marketer, so don’t think that you need to spend thousands of dollars to make money online.

I hope you have learned a thing or two about affiliate marketing and if you have any questions about anything, please feel free to leave them in the comments section below.
