Affiliate Marketing Exposed (Seriously)

Warning: If you are a flag waving, card carrying member of the Affiliate Marketing fraternity, this article will seriously trouble you. It is based on a quite lengthy comment by a highly successful marketer who was contributing to an ongoing discussion at the Warrior internet marketing forum.

The topic being discussed was whether affiliate marketing or product creation was best. There were keen advocates on both sides, as you'd expect.

The most telling blow in the whole discussion came from one chap, a highly successful marketer. Let's call him Andy. If you've been around the Internet Marketing scene for any time, you'd probably know his real name if I mentioned it.

Andy shared the fact that he had paid out a FIVE FIGURE SUM in affiliate commissions last month. That is, his affiliates had sold enough of his products that Andy had paid at least $10,000 in commissions (perhaps a great deal more) to those affiliates. That means his sales figures last month were at very least $20,000 if he is paying commissions of 50% which I believe he does.

With sales figures like this, and the fact that he uses his own name at the Warrior forum (he is not hiding behind a pseudonym), Andy has significant credibility.

So I paid special attention to what he EXPOSED, which in my words was this:

* Product owners would prefer you focus on affiliate marketing because you will promote their products.

* Product owners don't want any new competition, so they encourage you to promote their stuff rather than create your own.

Not ice that in all of this, there's nothing about what is best for YOU.

Andy also made the point that his highest earning affiliates all have their own products or services or they are experts. Think about that.

Andy's recommendation is to create your own products and supplement the income that comes from them with affiliate recommendations.
