4 reasons why affiliate marketing is a bunch of hooey
Published: Wed, 04/05/17
“What’s this case AGAINST
affiliate marketing nonsense?”
Hold your jets, Tex.
Yes, affiliate marketing can be extremely profitable.
(I do it myself, at times, obviously, but I don't make it my *main* thing.)
But overall it PALES in comparison to selling your own products.
Some reasons why include:
1. List building
You get a short term sale/commission, but the publisher gets all the long term benefits of having another buyer (not just a lead) on their list.
Goodie for the publisher.
Not so goodie for you…
2. Less money
You can make a 50% (or whatever) commission selling someone else’s product, or 100% commission selling your own. Yes, I know some publishers pay 100% commissions, but see reason #1 again.
3. Cookies
Think about this:
Someone gets your email on their smart phone or iPad and opts in. Unless they buy from that same device you might not get the credit for the sale. This happens a lot. (Especially, I noticed, during launches, which is one reason why I no longer participate in launches when dozens of other affiliates are all mailing their lists at the same time.)
People opt in with phone/tablet, buy on computer, or vice versa.
Somewhere along the way you might lose the commission you rightfully earned.
Phooey.
4. No guarantee of getting paid
Publishers are notorious for not paying. Of course, this is is not a problem with clickbank, or reputable publishers, etc. But something to consider…
Anyway, let’s face it.
You and I both know hardcore affiliate marketers reading this email are rolling their eyes and think I’m nutzo. But it’s all about good, better, best. With selling affiliate offers being good and your own offers being best.
If you want to sell your own products then check ye this out:
Danny Iny has a product that will help you have a high selling product up in 60 days that you get paid for even before it is finished.
Impossible?
Not at all.
At least, not with Danny’s methods.
And, you can learn exactly how he does it in a valuable training tomorrow at high noon (PST, 3:00 EST) I’ll be hosting with his team that shows you how it all works. Yes, there will be something for sale at the end (help and support and coaching, etc for using his methods).
But, even if you don’t buy you’ll know what to do.
This training is free to attend.
