about AFFILIATE MARKETING

Even if you are a newbie, you have most likely already came accross with the term "AFFILIATE MARKETING"....

Affiliate marketing is when you sign up with Clickbank or Paydotcom for free and you sell other people's stuff. This could be a great way to make some money, if you do it right, as you don't have to worry about coming up with an idea what to sell and how to sell.

These are definetly the best parts of affiliate marketing. No inventory, no worries. You don't have to create a product or service, all you have to do is just advertise somebody else's products. Most of the time they even supply you with a mini-site (with hosting !!!) , with pre-written PPC ads, even articles or blog entries - if you get lucky. THAT IS AWESOME as you don't really encounter any expenses...

On the other hand ... that's kinda the problem with this business too, because all affiliates are using the same exact mini-site and most of the times the same exact ads too.

You can spice it up a little, personalize it, but than you might make a fatal mistake, because all that stuff, they are giving you to advertise, is already tested and the makers of the given product have already spent a lot of money on hiring professional sales copy righters. So most likely, the marketing material is as good as it gets, and if you change something it might lose effectiveness... but you can try :-)

Anyways, as I was saying, these sales copies are written by professionals who know how to pressure the viewer psychologically to make them buy whatever is on that page!! That's what the whole thing is about ... right? THAT IS EXACTLY THE REASON, WHY YOU HAVE BOUGHT INTO IT TOO. RIGHT?
And another fact... statistically proven, that a person who has already bought something online, is almost sure to buy again in the future. The same thing applies in the world of affiliate marketing. Once you have bought a product (e-book, software, system, coaching program or anything else you can imagine), it's almost 100% sure that you will buy something again.

PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF YOU ARE ONE OF THE EXCEPTIONS, BECAUSE I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW HOW DO YOU DO IT??? :-D
How do you turn down the next offer? Because I know if for myself that I CAN'T !!!

I have bought so much stuff already that it's not even funny, but I never really got to use any of it... WHY??? BECAUSE IT'S DESIGNED LIKE THAT !!! They purposely flood your mind with all this info, so you lose control!! You get so overwhelmed by all that information that you just start jumping from one thing to another and never finish anything, because the next morning a new hype is waiting for you eagerly in your inbox (or who-knows-where-else) and pressuring you to buy... that you must have this new thing, because what you just got yesterday, is already "yesterday's news"....

RAISE YOUR HANDS? HOW MANY OF YOU EXPERIENCED THE SAME THING??
OR AM I THE ONLY IDIOT, WHO HAS "SUCKER" TATTOOED ON MY FOREHEAD?
I can take the criticism, so if any of you have a solution to this problem, please enlighten me.

---> SO IN SUMMARY, AFFILIATE MARKETING IS AWSOME AS LONG AS YOU DON'T GET DROWNED IN THE "PRODUCT-SWARM".

Please don't hesitate to post your opinion.
Thanks.
