Is Affiliate Marketing Really Free?
Does it seem like affiliate marketing is too good to be true? I mean it kinda sounds like that with all the amazing advantages:
- No cost to sign up
- Earn recurring commissions
- Get started immediately in many cases
- Checks sent from big companies or deposited to your paypal on a regular basis
I had a friend say to me yesterday as we were having lunch that she was checking out this affiliate marketing thing and there had to be some catch, it couldn’t be free.
Well there’s no catch, it’s free, and here’s why:
There is a point that’s important here though. While it is free to sign up to affiliate programs, it is not free to build a website (but it can be done very cheaply).

That's good advice. I have done well with Commission Junction and Linkshare. I've tried Clickbank, but have not had much success yet.
How did you do that video in the freezingcold without smoke coming out of your mouth?
Thanks for the comment Jordy! I've actually not tried CJ or Linkshare yet myself but have had success with Clickbank, how funny. I am going to be getting much more into niche marketing this year so I'll definitely be working with those two sites too.
lol no trick for the lack of smoke, guess it just wasn't cold enough.
