Top 10 Reasons to become an
Affiliate Marketer

Back when my online business consisted ONLY of affiliate sites, I had no
need for a personal assistant.
The sites were all in place, and my affiliated merchants handled
everything related to orders.
Last week, one of my clients mentioned that he was moving AWAY from
selling his own products to promoting more affiliate programs just for the
simplicity and freedom.
Yup, he definitely 'gets' it.
Although there are many, many benefits to promoting affiliate programs with
your own home-based Internet business, here are my top 10 reasons to become
an affiliate marketer.
1. No Product Development Costs - The cost to develop and produce a new
product is expensive! But you needn't worry about that as an affiliate.
2. Low Cost Set-up - Got a desk, Internet-connected computer and
word-processing software? You're in business!
3. No Fees or Geographic Limits on Distribution - Affiliate programs are
usually free to join, and market reach is limited only by the affiliate's
ability to promote his or her web site.
4. Choose From Thousands of Products and Services - What isn't sold online?
With affiliate networks like Commission Junction, Be Free and Linkshare,
it's easy to find products related to your current or planned web site.
5. No Merchant Account Required - Forget the problems associated with
collecting and storing names, addresses, credit card numbers, etc. The
merchant handles all payment processing, so you never have to lose sleep
over chargebacks, fraud or losing your merchant account.
6. No Inventory to Carry - Even if you live in a small one-bedroom
apartment, you can sell large items without storage concerns.
7. No Shipping Costs - Don't worry about buying packing supplies or postal
rates. The cost and hassle to prepare and ship products to customers
worldwide belongs to the merchant.
8. No Customer Concerns - Do you hate the prospect of dealing with nasty
people? Don't worry about it! The merchant handles the snivelers.
9. Make Money While You Sleep - What other business allows you as a sole
proprietor to keep your doors open and keep making money even when you take
breaks or after you go home for the night?
10. High Income Potential - With your own affiliate business your income
potential is limited only by your desire, effort and imagination - not your
boss.
Relatively low outlay of resources with huge potential returns truly makes
affiliate marketing on the Internet an outstanding business opportunity.
