Who else wants to work at home in your own "Family Room Internet Business"?
Selling Stuff You Don't Own
To People You Never See!
Dear Friend:
I was totally amazed when I found out how much some people earn at home without even having a product of their own!
I've worked at home most all my life selling my own products (piano courses on DVD's) and make a good living, and I know several other people who do the same, like my neighbor Norm who manufacturers pitching machines in his home workshop.
But what astounded me was that lots of people now make a huge income without having a single product of their own -- they act as representatives of companies and sell all kinds of stuff over the internet -- so they never meet the people they sell to, and they have no customer support or shipping or any of that to worry about!
A man named James in Vancouver Canada, for example, earns something in the neighborhood of $100,000. per month -- and that's a pretty nice neighborhood! Another Canadian, a lady named Rosalind, earned $435,000. a year 2 or 3 years ago -- and I happen to know she makes a lot more now. I have met both these people and I know they are for real. Rosalind was an air-traffic controller for years, and James was in construction.
The field I am talking about, of course, is called "affiliate marketing".
For several years I heard the term “affiliate marketing” bandied about by folks who apparently knew what they were talking about, but I never fully understood what they meant. Oh, I knew vaguely that it had something to do with selling stuff, but I didn’t grasp the mechanics of it at all.
Strange, too, because way back in the 70’s I had “dealers” who advertised my music courses in various ways – ads, classified ads, mailings, etc – and we “drop-shipped” for them. When they got an order from their advertising efforts, they would send us a shipping label with the customer’s name on it along with a check for 50% of the price of the course they sold. We would then package the course, slap on the shipping label, and drop the course in the mail. The customer figured it came from the person who sold it. Very neat system, and it’s still done today by some firms.
Affiliate marketing is like that, except instead of selling the product, you simply “point” prospects at the web site of the company you represent, and they take it from there.
They do all the:
Selling
Collecting payment
Shipping the product
Customer support
Which means that you have:
No inventory
No investment in products
No selling
No shipping
No customer support
And you get a check each month for a percentage of whatever is sold -- sounds like a deal to me!
(To say nothing of being able to buy wholesale from all these firms)
Of course there’s more to it than that, and that’s what this book is about, but at the most basic level....
Affiliate marketing is selling stuff you don’t own to people you never see!
So if you, as the affiliate, don’t have to do any selling, stocking products, shipping to the customer, or answering their questions about the product, what in the heck DO you do?
Sounds like the world’s cushiest job to me.
Well, it is in many ways. But that means that you have to be good at the few things you DO have to do, which include:
