Why Choose Affiliate Marketing?

If you haven't had a chance to read THINK AND GROW RICH, I highly recommend you do so. This highly motivating book has encouraged many to step out of their box and pursue their dreams. You can get your FREE download here:

So where do you start if you have the itch to try an Internet business? Certainly developing your own product in a niche market will lead you to financial independence. This route can definitely make you rich, but you have to factor all that goes into its success.

You can't simply create a product and hope to prosper from it, especially if you plan to use the Internet for sales. You have to develop a website and figure out how to draw people to that website, not an easy task as you can imagine.

If you're like me and have limited computer skills, especially when it comes to designing a web page, then a very viable alternative to creating your own product is selling products created by somebody else. This is called affiliate marketing.

Affiliate marketing is the perfect opportunity for newbies. I won't mislead you and say that you'll gain instant riches from affiliate marketing. Like every thing else, it takes effort and time. Unfortunately, 'get rich schemes' just don't work.
However, the good news is that the effort pays off in time. Eventually you'll reap the benefits of having a business on autopilot. You'll make money while you sleep, while vacationing, even while you're doing business on the toilet.

So here are my 4 reasons why affiliate marketing is the perfect Internet business to start with.

1. Very Little Investment: There are many affiliate programs with a very low start-up costs. The two programs I use cost only $10 and $19.95 a month. What other business opportunities can you name that only require an investment of under $30 a month but allow you an unlimited income opportunity.

2. Sell Other People's Products: No need to create a product. All you have to do is get people to buy somebody else's product from your affiliate website and watch the commissions roll in. You don't have to worry about inventory, shipping or any of the other usual headaches. I like to stress finding affiliates that allow you to make residual income. For example, look for affiliate services that require monthly fees, like web hosting, or phone service or health insurance. These monthly fee programs allow you to continually make money from the same customer for as long as they stay with the program. This is a great way to grow your residual income.

3. Lots Of Support: The creators of an affiliate program want to ensure that their affiliates make money. Their success depends on the success of their affiliates. So a good affiliate program will be loaded with tons of support. You will find pre-made websites, sales letters, email campaigns, business cards, articles: basically the entire gamut to ensure you succeed. Just think, all this is set up for you. If you were promoting your own product, how much time and money do you think it would take to set all this up. Lots!!

4. Business On Autopilot: What could be more sweet than returning from a 2 week vacation in Hawaii, logging onto your affiliate account and finding out you earned $5,000 dollars while surfing the North Shore and sipping pina coladas at a beach side resort. What a rush. Remember, it will take some initial work and time to get to this point, but once you're there, there is nothing more rewarding. An affiliate program set up properly will work for you 24 hours of the day, continuing to pull in cash without your constant supervision.

Affiliate marketing is definitely a legit way for beginners to start making a substantial income with an Internet business.
