To Affiliate or Not to Affiliate.....

Affiliate marketing in and of itself is a great concept. You get to market someone else's e-book or program for percentage of the profit. You can do this through ClickBank which has many great products and your profit can be as high as 75% for the effort...not bad! The other big plus is that technically you don't even have to have your own website / domain since you receive a unique hyperlink that identifies you as the seller. That means you avoid the hosting and domain costs. It is still a good idea though to plunk down the $7.95 or $9.95 for a domain and pay the monthly hosting fee. What you get for your money is your own site that identifies you and with some due diligence will give you credibility and make you brandable which translates to more sales and higher profit.

The problem though is that you still have to advertise and find a way to make your profit. One concern is that the hyperlink can be tampered with which means you don't get the profit. Another hurdle is getting your site setup and making it visible on the search engines using SEO [search engine optimization] tools not to mention writing and placing your ads to the right safelists, classified sites and e-zines. You can easily spend hours a day looking through the "how-to" websites and e-books available to help you through this. You can even get someone else to setup your site for you but that can run you in excess of $1,000.

Or.........
