There are many other good reasons too, but we are focused
on these right now!
The simple fact that you do not have to create the product
in the first instance saves you time and money. This already
puts you ahead of the typical starting your own business model...
Typically in the regular business environment, you need, stock,
fixtures and fittings if in a shop or office, you need to
spend money on product design, creation, marketing, shipping,
the list goes on.
With affiliate marketing, even with physical shipped goods,
none of that is your concern in terms of effort, cost etc.

The Priority
advice I can give here is that if you are promoting physical goods,
you actually order from the company you will be promoting for a
couple of reasons.
A) You know the quality of the goods yourself BEFORE you
recommend them!
B) You get to see how good customer service is, delivery
times and condition etc.
C) You learn something about the company that you can use
in your "review of their services"
This makes the business start up costs for you as low as they possibly
could be! And with the many FREE traffic sources openly available
these days, you could actually launch your online business for as
little as $100 to cover hosting and email account set up etc.
In the history of business, no other opportunity has been so openly
available to the massesacross such a broad marketplace as with affiliate
marketing.
You can sell virtually anything as an affiliate. Just enter the
product arena you wish to work within along with the words affiliate
program tagged on the end into your favourite search engine, and
you will be likely to find a relevant program to promote.
But getting started with Learn4Profit , we recommend you focus on
Digital Delivery to start if you can, simply as this will increase
your earning potential, and your ease of promotion!
Are you the right kind of person to work online in your own business
as an Affiliate Marketer?
Do you have the commitment, the drive, the passion to work for yourself,
the edge to keep going when it gets tough (and it pretty much always
does at some point)..
Being an affiliate marketer,
is the perfect starting point, in other articles, we look at how
you find your first product market, the importance of passion and
knowledge, but the simplicity of getting started.
