Are All Affiliate Marketers In BED With Each Other?
Affiliate Marketing is a great way to make money online. For those of you who don’t know what it is, Affiliate Marketing involves advertising and marketing someone else’s product. In turn, the creator of that product agrees to give you a certain percentage of the sale for each buyer you send their way.
You are usually given an Affiliate Link to use when advertising online, so that if someone purchases through your link, you get credit for the sale.
Affiliate commissions can run anywhere from 10-50% of the sale, so you can see how the money can add up rather quickly.
Let me state right now…
I do NOT have a problem with Affiliate Marketing or the people who use it.
But after watching closely the last several months, the question I have to ask is…
Are All Affiliate Marketers in Bed With Each Other?
In other words, it almost seems like all affiliate marketers do is market each others back and forth.
Someone comes out with a new product… the newest, best way for network marketers to “explode their business”
Pretty soon, I start getting emails from all my affiliate marketer friends (I am on a LOT of lists). And the countdown begins…
- Only 48 hrs left to take advantage of this great offer!
- 24 hrs left — don’t get left out of this once in a lifetime offer!
- You are going to miss out on the opportunity of a lifetime if you don’t act in the next 12 hrs!
And then the “extras” start getting thrown in.
Buy from this link and I’ll throw in my free Ebook on ……
Buy from the link below and I’ll give you a free, 1 hr business consultation….
And even this one…..
I’ll buy the product FOR YOU if you buy through my link… (this much have been one hell of a contest).
Then the deadline ends, there is some quiet time, and then the next Internet “Guru” announces the launch of his/her next product, and the cycle starts all over again.
Enough already! All of these products can’t possibly be the “one product that is going to take my business to the next level.”
It isn’t humanly possible.
But, as I said, I am not against Affiliate Marketing.
In fact, I also make money from Affiliate Marketing. It is a great way to supplement my primary business income.
But I do it with INTEGRITY, and that is what I am imploring others to do.
What do I mean?
I follow this very simple rule before I even think of suggesting or recommending any product to my valuable list of followers….I will only recommend a product if:
- I personally have used the product and can vouch for it’s usefulness in helping my followers… and it has to be worth the money.
- I know of someone who I respect that has used the product and tells me personally how it helped him/her.
- In cases of new product launches, I will only recommend the product if I have personally used the creator’s products in the past and have such an utmost respect for the integrity and knowledge of that person that I feel comfortable making a recommendation to my followers. This was true of the new product recently launched by Mike Dillard, MLM Traffic Formula 2.0.
In fact, in this latter group, there are only a handful of people who fit this category for me.
They include Mike Dillard, Perry Marshall, Eben Pagan and a few others.
That’s not to say that other Internet Marketers aren’t just as good or shouldn’t be included on this list. I just haven’t had the personal experience to add them to MY LIST.
As most of my readers know, I only really recommend a handful of products on this blog (see Resources Tab). But you can rest easily knowing that these products get my PERSONAL recommendation because I have first hand knowledge of their excellence.
After all, my reputation is on the line.
I know that if I recommend a really bad product that doesn’t deliver what it promises (just to make a small commission), I will lose the trust of my loyal readers. And I can’t let that happen! 
Enough already with the Affiliate Marketing Merry Go Round.
It’s making my head spin. Too many can’t miss products, too many empty promises, too many of the same old products gift-wrapped into the new and biggest thing.
Let’s have some integrity. Let’s get honest with people. Stop making a few bucks at other people’s expense.
The economy is bad enough.. we don’t need to add to other’s financial issues!
Your Friend on the Inside,
MLM Traffic Formula II Launch Announced — Available at Deep Discount
Hi everyone!
It seems I have survived the swine flu and am back in the saddle and ready to rumble.
Now that I can finally sit in front of my computer again instead of laying in bed, I just spent the last 36 minutes watching a fascinating video by a guy named Mike Dillard.
Many of you are already familiar with Mike from Magnetic Sponsoring and the products that have revolutionized that way network marketers do business (and I don’t say this lightly).
Today, Mike announced that in the next 4 days he will be launching a revised, upgraded version of the one product that changed my Network Marketing fortune…. MLM Traffic Formula.
He is calling it MLM Traffic Formula II, and it promises to be even better than the first.
You know, I can count on one hand the number of Internet Marketers that I actually TRUST, and Mike Dillards is at the top of the list.
Why? Because Mike consistently OVERDELIVERS in content, far beyond what you would expect for the asking price of his products…. and I have them all —- Magnetic Sponsoring, Building on a Budget, PPC Domination , MLM Traffic Formula — to name a few.
Mike has allowed me, as a Magnetic Sponsoring member, to offer to you for a limited time the opportunity to get this product as a VERY reduced rate when it comes out in the next 4 days.
To help you decide it will help you, take a look at the same 36 minute free video that I just watched… you will NOT be disappointed.
Again, it is called Mike Dillard’s MLM Traffic Formula II.
Chances are very high you’ll be hearing about this one for years to come, and it will become one of the staples of the industry.
Get in now so you can qualify for the heavily reduced purchase price.
Your friend on the Inside,
P.S. You know I am very, very selective on which products I promote on this blog. You can feel safe that this one is a keeper.
