What Is Affiliate Marketing?
I've seen lots of people asking this question - I'm going to answer this question in layman terms here, so everyone can understand.
Affiliate marketing is where you'll be promoting other people's products and services to potential customers and get paid commission whenever someone purchases the products and services you recommend.
Is Affiliate Marketing Legitimate Or Is It A Sham?
Of course affiliate marketing is 100% legitimate.
Lots of people have managed to generate millions of dollars from affiliate marketing every year and you can do the same as well. ;)
Today’s credit crisis is the worst disruption to the global financial system in the lifetime of almost everyone alive today. This is truly ground-breaking stuff, and no one can be at all sure where it will end.
The fact that governments around the world have been forced to take the extraordinary step of guaranteeing inter-bank loans in an attempt to unfreeze bank-to-bank lending is a stark pointer to the paralysis in international financial markets, a paralysis born of mutual uncertainties about the extent of bank exposures to overvalued or worthless securities. This situation within the financial sector is at the heart of the difficulties being visited upon companies whose forward performance projections are based on assumptions about continuing debt financing.
The implications
As rapidly as this situation has arisen, and as deeply as it has bitten in that short time, we are still in the early stages, and it is almost impossible to predict what will be the full implications and where the turnaround point might be. One thing is already certain, however. The business models on which many companies have thrived over recent years are now dead. Not only that, but businesses whose business models can and do survive will have to cut their cloth to suit the radically changed landscape. Any business owner or manager hanging on and hoping for an orderly return to the status quo ante will be in for a very rude shock.
