Top 5 Affiliate Marketing Myths

Top 5 Affiliate Marketing Myths

1. Affiliate Marketing is Easy to do than Product
Marketing. Look around many of the so called affiliate
marketers. All they try to do is to sell the affiliate
product whereas the visitor will easily identify the
game and wont play to your rules.

2. Affiliate Marketing is copying and pasting the ads
the merchants provide and voila sales start to happen.
No. The visitor is sick and tired of seeing the same
ads everywhere and off he goes.

3. You don't need a website to be an affiliate. While it
is true that you really don't need a website, it always
helps to have your own website so that you can try to
capture the email address. Either you get the sale or
at least his email address to follow-up. No website, and
there is no way to get in touch with your visitor ever
again.

4. You don't need to own the product you promote. It may
be true for some very big ticket items, normally for
info products, it is better you own the product and try
to presell rather than selling the product.

5. It's free to be an Affiliate Marketer. It's free to
join as an affiliate and if you are not going to invest
your time and effort you may as well start doing
something else worthwhile.
