Is Affiliate Marketing Still Worth It 2017?

 

The idea of working at home and earning money may appeal to many people. With the economy the way that it is now a lot more people want to work from home and supplement their incomes. While affiliate marketing still does require a great deal of effort, the basics required are actually quite easy to pick up on, and with enough determination, you can begin making real cash from home within a relatively short period of time. But affiliate marketing is no longer worth the effort for most people.

The first reason why affiliate marketing is no longer worth it is the business model itself. A business model that is based on hype and has absolutely no chance of success is ridiculous. The idea of building a team of affiliates that work together in order to build massive income streams is silly. Why? Because an affiliate marketer needs to have a solid business model in place in order to attract affiliates, and these affiliates need to be motivated in order to promote your products.

In fact, the only way that affiliate marketing will work in this day and age is if there is a well defined business model. Most affiliate marketing plans today, are nothing more than multi-level marketing schemes in disguise. Multi level marketing is a scam in every sense of the word, and in order to be successful, it requires nothing more than a phone list of names and a monthly membership fee. Then you tell people that you can make a large sum of money by simply promoting products owned by someone else and charge them monthly fees in return for any commissions earned.

This business model is bankrupt and should never be attempted. It requires hundreds of thousands of dollars to invest, requires the purchase of websites and hosting, and requires the creation of a whole new business network from which to promote the products. In essence, you're just wasting your time! The better affiliate marketing plans out there today provide everything that a new affiliate marketer needs in order to make it in this industry. One such plan is YouTube advertising.

By now you've heard of YouTube. If you haven't, then go watch it. The site is so popular that everyone these days has access to it. Millions of people each day use this amazing tool to research information of all sorts, including how to make money. One of the great things about having your own YouTube Channel is that it makes it much easier for your target audience to find your affiliate marketing links.

For example, if you own a fitness blog and one of your main goals is to get more affiliates to promote your website, then having an affiliate link on your blog is going to do two things for you. First, it's going to bring you visitors that are highly targeted. This is much easier to market to than, say, people who stumble across your affiliate links through social media or search engine traffic. People who come to your blog through social media or search engine traffic are already interested, but what if they happen to find a product that speaks to them?

It's much easier to encourage them to join your affiliate marketing program because of the two-way communication that's inherent between a blog and your affiliates. Once they see that your affiliate marketing program is going to help them reach their goal of fitness, then they want to be part of your affiliate marketing team. Even if they don't purchase anything, they'll be contributing financially to your ecommerce app store.

The point is, affiliate marketing is all about communicating with your audience and convincing them that you have what they need. If you can't convince them that you do, then you're just wasting your time promoting the wrong products. If you're able to convince them that you do, then you're going to be successful at making money online by promoting an ecommerce app store. Applying basic affiliate marketing principles is all that it takes to get started.
