Help! My Affiliate Program Is a Scam!

Wednesday, July 28th, 2010

I am going to stop a moment and talk about affiliate program scams.  This is not a fun topic, but I feel it needs to be addressed.

It has come to my attention that there are affiliate programs out there on the internet that really are a scam, and there are good programs that are accused of being a scam.

And the only way to find out for sure about any programs you are interested in is good, old-fashioned research.  I know for some of you, research is a bad word – too much like school.  But research is very important so that you don’t end up with egg on your face, so to speak.

You need to go to one of the search engines and type in the name of the product you want to sell, or the name of the person promoting the product or program.  Then after it, type the word “scam” and see what comes up.

Sometimes you have to dig a little to find a real review or set of reviews, because the company will cleverly disguise themselves to look like they are legitimate reviews, but will be just another way to try to get business.

Then you will have to read the reviews carefully.  Some will be written by jealous people who don’t make the kind of money the product claims the person who came out with it makes.  Some will be written by those who think all network marketing and mlm are scams.  Others will be written by those who have had a bad experience with the company (which can happen in any company).  And some will be legitimate complaints.

I was doing research myself today, and discovered each of these examples above.  Some products really were scams, and you could tell that from the reviews.  But I was pleased to see that some products had complaints that were made by the other kinds of reviewers, and the products were, in fact, legitimate.  (You will have to be discerning while reading, and not get sucked up in their emotions.)

It is true that some companies will have a lot of hype to their advertising.  You will need to understand that, yes, maybe THEY made the kind of money they are quoting.  But that doesn’t mean YOU will.  Be happy about making a much smaller amount, but still be making a profit.  And remember, they are the gurus who write the programs or produce the products, and they will make a much bigger profit than the average affiliate.  Also, they have been in the business longer.  And they got there first – they got in when there weren’t so many little guys trying to get in on the market.

So research, research, research!  And hopefully you will find some winners that will give you the income you want and need!

And it’s open, for you, right now.

Think about this for a second – you got into this business because you want more money and more free time, right?  Well, this is aimed squarely at you.  It’s a system developed to give maximum returns in minimum time.

Why Should I Get Involved With Affiliate Programs?

Wednesday, July 14th, 2010

A good source of residual income is being plugged in to a good number of affiliate programs.  In case you don’t know what residual income is, it is income that keeps coming in to you month after month without you having to do anything – in other words, on auto-pilot.  Once you have your marketing in place and advertise the affiliate programs in one way or another, you will get commissions from anyone who clicks on the link and then purchases the program or programs.

What are Affiliate Programs?

Affiliate programs are programs that you sign up for (many are free to sign up), then you have access to the programs’  back offices to get banner ads or other types of ads to place.  When you sign up, you are given a special code.  When you place an ad and someone clicks on it, it takes them to the program’s company, and if they purchase anything, the code tells the company to send the commission check to you.

This way, you can get paid for your advertising without having to think up a good ad, set up a separate web page or website for the selling of their products, or really do much work at all.  If you can place the ads in the right places, where they will get a lot of traffic, then you will be able to get some good commissions from the ads.

Kinds of Affiliate Programs

There are three kinds of affiliate programs that are really good to join:

  1. Those that lots of people need and want,
  2. Those that have residual income – continual monthly or yearly fees, and
  3. Those that have two-tier pay-outs.

You want to have a variety of programs to cover all of these types.

If you think you can make enough money just by relying on your primary opportunity, you will be missing out on so much more!  Don’t be left out!  Don’t sell yourself short!  Months or years from now, you could be wishing you had done more to bring in multiple streams of income, instead of settling for just one source!
