Like A See Saw !
Affiliate Marketing like any other type of business has its share of ups and downs. Also like any other type of business it does take a lot of work and time to get it started.
Affiliate Marketing is one of the best business models available today for the person that wants to start their own business and is looking for a business that they would be able to run from home.
In this case, affiliate marketing is the ideal platform. There are a great number ofups to this type of business. As with any business platform, there will also be downs.
Let's first take a look at some of the ups. 1. Can have business up and running in a short timeframe. 2. Relative low cost to get started compared to other business platforms. 3. Can run from home or anyplace that has an internet connection. 4. You can have access to thousands of products without the worry of inventory or returns.
Now lets look at a few negative aspects or downs of affiliate marketing.. 1. Trying to find that perfect niche can be very overwhelming. 2. Once started, your online business may be very slow in showing a profit. 3. The competition can be great within your chosen niche.
With any business that you may happen to start, there are bound to be many ups and downs. If you think that having your own business where you are the boss will guarantee that everything will always be on the up side, then you probably need to take a step back and realize that there will be many downs.
If owning your own business makes you think that everything will be up for you then you will definately be in for a rude awakening.
With this all being said, affiliate marketing is still a very good choice when it comes to selecting a platform in which to start your new business venture. Just remember to work hard and never give up. Remember, your business will probably be like a seesaw with ups and downs but you will find success if you never quit.

Hi Dburnett8,
I appreciate you putting up the pros and cons to this business platform.
Everything job or business has their ups and downs.
But its what you do or how we react to our challenges that will show our strength.
I started WA in July and I was being consisted for the first 3 weeks and now I only have time every 3 days. I hope to get more momentum in the up coming weeks and months.
And when I am not working on my website, I think about it all the time.
I also have to give myself permission to not stress about it because there is only so much I can do in 24 hours.
Thanks again,
Felixia
