Affiliate Marketing - Turning Multiple Income Into Multiple Out Go

Affiliate Marketing - Turning Multiple Income Into Multiple Out Go This is an all to common a story of how someone with good intentions gets ambushed by the slicksters and Internet hustlers with promises of easy money for not much work.  It all started out in a very innocent way.  I will be telling this story through the eyes of Naive Ned. I was looking for an easy way to make some money on the Internet.  Sound familiar?  I heard about residual income so I was looking for a business opportunity with a great pay plan. I pictured myself as an entrepreneur getting in on the ground floor of a really cool company and making lots of cash with not much effort.  I checked out the various traffic exchanges and found countless business opportunities that would let me make money by advertising other people’s companies. I saw the light and I would not have to invest much of my own money to get started with my own home business.  Now this is a solution that I could live with.  You see by simply advertising other people’s ’stuff’ I would get paid a commission.  Sounds like a win-win proposition to me. So after checking out the many, many, affiliate programs I decided on a few programs that I really thought were cool One was advertising new website domain extensions, because all of the dot com extensions will soon be used up.  Another was to advertise to ‘find people’.  This seemed real hot as people are always looking for other people. I then found a self improvement site, a cell phone carrier featuring new technology,  a few traffic exchange sites where I could make a commission, and finally a marketing company that would show people how to market and be successful on the Internet.  Wait until you hear this. I also found a cool site where I could create my own shopping mall and this also let me donate money to a World Hunger organization. Can you imagine shopping at Ned’s Mall? A few of the sites cost me $10 a month but that included banner ads and some pre written emails that I could use. The marketing site was a liitle more but hey this is a business and you have to pay your dues.   Also for only $19.95 a month I would be given a real cool company website that would track my sales and tell me about my commissions. A few of the companies told me that if I signed up with them I could get an auto responder for only $15.95 a month (normal charge was $29.95 per month) and it would automatically answer all my emails.  I learned that I should brand myself so I purchased a few domain names and learned how to mask the company site and present it as my own.  Really cool eh? This is not really cost me very much money at all to have my own affiliate Internet business.  The ad said that if you wanted to open up McDonald’s it would cost close to a half million bucks and I didn’t have that kind of dough so this plan sounds real good to me. I plan on getting even more companies to advertise and the money will real come rolling in.   I think I am going to need some good lead generation tools and perhaps hook up with a lead generation company (I think one of the companies I am advertising for can get me a good deal on monthly double opt in leads) then I will be set…… Wait a MINUTE Ned!  ALL I SEE IS MONEY GOING OUT…. NOT COMING IN!!  Is something starting to Stink???  How much is your time worth to advertise for other people?  Have you noticed when you visited those business sites everyone is doing the same thing….advertising someone else’s junk!  You have become THEM!…an advertising affiliate hooker.  Perhaps we should call you an MLM Tart.  Who is the only one making the big bucks?…It is the company that you are advertising for, not you. If you are serious about making money with a home business then you must be ready to do  some work.  It is not hard but it is still work.  I will help you find that company that treats you with respect and not like a $10 hooker.  I will show you how to navigate through the tricky waters and avoid the scam artists and bogus companies that lurk on the Internet.  It is up to you Ned.  You can be successful with me or take your chances with the sharks. It is your choice Ned, you certainly need a mentor. Best Personal Regards My Network Marketing Friends, Tom Boyuka Mentoring for Free 607-343-9161 tom@tomboyuka.com
