Lots of affiliate marketing offers can appear tempting - but beware, while sounding like incredible offers, many are simply very slick marketing pieces with ZERO substance.
First up, offers that promise $ $ $ $ $ of dollars in return for very little work – well, good luck with them. If you work hard for your money, recognize these offers for what they are, and that’s pie in the sky. Don’t go there without a parachute.
Next, many of these offers serve up validation - in the form of earnings statements. I recall one such video where the presenter went on and on how he was broke and had to move in with his parents, then was miraculously introduced to some secret society guy at a poker game who turned his world upside down. Seems this (insider) took him under his wings and shared with him how to make boat loads of money online. He even offered earnings statements to validate the entire scenario – BUT smart prospects noticed the timeline on the statements didn’t match when he said he moved in with his parents, negating everything he said.
Just last week, a member on a popular web hosting forum recommended a video - from an affiliate marketer selling bongs. He had reportedly made over $ 250,000 selling these things – even offering an earnings statement as proof. But wait, seems the site he referenced had only been online for nine days!
If you want straight scoop on affiliate marketing - I recommend frequenting ABestWeb, Affiliates4U or AssociatePrograms. Do your homework before impulsively buying into what could be a money pit. A simple Google search works wonders.
