If you are an affiliate marketer you have probably been told at some point in time that: A: You have to stick with one program (or company) B: Banners are awesome C: Everything is oversaturated Let me just start by clearing the air and telling you that affiliate marketing is and will continue to be one of the best ways for new marketers to make money online.
Affiliate marketing allows a person (you) to get started making money online for a fraction of the cost of other opportunities.
In some cases you can even get started with no money (in this case you will be investing your time however) So, now that we have gotten this out of the way and you know that you can make money in affiliate marketing let's talk about these bullet points so that you have a better understanding of the reason you should not believe it when you hear it.
A: You have to stick with one program (or company): Ok, so you may have heard this before.
There is a possibility that the person who told you this was confused or perhaps didn't understand information that had been shared with them.
Loyalty to one company is never wise.
However, loyalty to your NICHE (the market you have selected) is very wise.
Creating your niche and working within your niche is the surest way to increase your profits and create for you long term income.
B: Banners are awesome Ok, honestly, banners are cool because they look nice but think about it.
How many times do you REALLY click on a banner? If you barely click on a banner what makes you think someone else would be banner clicking happy? Banners are cool to look at but very few people click on them and they are really only good for those who have tons of expendable income and who can afford to wait for the odd banner clicker.
My advise to you, avoid banners until you have more experience and income.
C: Everything is oversaturated Ok, if you believe this you have not decided to check for yourself.
One of the things I learned early on is due diligence is needed in the online industry.
There are tons and tons and tons of markets that have barely even been touched let alone oversatursated.
The key to finding these niches is to first have a broad niche (idea) and narrow it down, and narrow it down, and down, until you have something that: 1: has affiliate products and 2: you are comfortable promoting it.
So, my fellow affiliate marketers, you don't have to listen to the lies, you can make money as an affiliate.
