Lets start out by saying that for every one good thing said about affiliate marketing ten negitive things are said. Those are pretty bad odds if you ask me. Affiliate marketing is a monstrosity of a business. The fact is most prominent businesses on the internet use some form of affiliate advertising today. This is obvious. So how can it have such a bad reputation? Well I have an idea why.
I believe it’s how affiliates market for companies and of course some of the companies are frauds in themselves. Some companies or affiliates will say “you will get rich overnight with little or no work on your part.” This is a form of trickery and deception. If you are in the affiliate business, I shouldn’t have to tell you that this isn’t a good thing to promise your prospects. You want to build your reputation, not destroy it. Every business owner knows you have to work hard and invest time to gain real results. So Maby If we all yell, kick, and scream loud enough all these companies and false promises will disappear. I doubt it. Are they going away? Not anytime soon.
Of course someone new to internet marketing won’t know the difference...
