The advantages:

  • The Affiliate product or service already exists and is tried and tested.
  • A promotion website is often provided as part of membership.
  • You do not normally have to hold, wrap or ship stock.
  • There are billions of potential buyers online all over the world.
  • There is often an opportunity to make a recurring passive income with little or no additional work.

The disadvantages:

  • Affiliate businesses sometimes have to pay an expensive monthly/ annual membership fee to cover website and owner costs.
  • Some Affilliate businesses expect members to buy the product each month.
  • Percentages in payment terms can vary enormously, from as little as 2%, to well over 50% of the product or service price.
  • Affiliates can make better profits if selling their own products or services.
  • Support from owners and upline Affiliates is often extremely poor. Newbies will often flounder, lose confidence and their money.

Is an Affiliate Business a good way to start out making money online?

Given the listed disadvantages, it will surprise many potential business owners that the answer is still a resounding YES!

Can we avoid being taken in or scammed by an Affiliate Opportunity?

With experience and a great deal of due diligence it is possible to sift out the good ones and of course there are many. However, for most of us, the obvious starter contender is right here under our noses!

Perhaps this the right place to get start after all.

Great post and good break down on the pro's and cons

Thank you Katie! Given your status in WA I am well pleased with your flattering summary! Chris

Kind of you Chris I am just me and still learning the same as you.. have a great week

You are of course right Katie, but you didn't get to Ambassador without a lot of graft! Impressive and definitely worthy of a close follow. Have a great week too! Chris

thank you Chris

Thank you, Herbie1

Very well said. I think WA is the cleanest one out there and believe me I've been trying to find them for years.

Thank you Grandma, I do so agree! I can't think of any that worked for me, but then not one of them ever helped to train or teach us! Thank God Kyle and Carson are a different breed where "paying something back" is part of the creed. I love it! Best wishes, and glad to be following you! Chris

Hi and all depends really on your point of view as there is good and bad in every system !!

Hi Paul, you are of course right! Thank you for your comments. Knowing where the problems are, means that most platforms can be made to work. What I hate most are the crooks who deliberately make it almost impossible for their members to make a dime! Chris

Very true and I like WA because you are totally responsible for what you do - right

You covered the bases well.... Good luck!

Thank you Ed. A simple blog to start with, but it feels good to get one up on the site! Chris

It was great!

Hi Herbie
All great reasons why WA is the number one platform out there for affiliate marketing training.
Good luck
Mark

Thank you Mark, it's great to know that you agree with me! It is amazing to think we have such a great platform for learning and helping others, with the potential to score big time through the Affiliate programme! Best wishes, Chris

Double underlined on the agreeing thing Chris.....nowhere like it!!

Good man, it's always a plan to have an ally! Chris
