Question #2 Who am I dealing with or becoming affiliated with?
Again no surprise most marketers either do not care or have no idea who.
So what do you need to know actually? Think back to a simpler time when we all knew our nieghbors and the local businesses.
Who is the owner ? Example Wealthy Affiliate Kyle and Carson are the owners and they do not hide that fact. A fast search here on the platform or even google you will find the Wealthy Affiliate owners Kyle and Carson.
Another thing to look for - How do you contact them,email- phone number.
Think like this,if the site went down or you had technical issues who do you call?
For the online world you can get most of this info from the whois site
http://whois.net or http://whois.com
Last one for this question isHow long has the company been in bussiness?
Remember as an affiliate marketer you are going to eventually be paid by this company. Do you want some company that has only been online for a month or 2 or a company like Wealthy Affiliate who has been in business for 14 plus years.
