The Pro’sAnyone can start affiliate marketing online.The great thing about affiliate marketing is that there is no discrimination. No matter if you are part of “The Silent Generation”, also known as “Depression babies” or “WWII babies,” (people born between 1925-1942), “Baby Boomers” (born between 1946-1964), “Generation X” (after the Baby Boomers, up until the late 1970’s), or “Generation Y” or “The Millennial Generation” (born from the 1980?s to early 2000’s). Someone with absolutely no experience in affiliate marketing can create a real possibility for a lucrative career. The only requirement is an internet connection. Nowadays, even if you do not have an internet connection at home there are many places like libraries a person can go to get an internet connection. What a person can choose to promote is wide open.Affiliate Marketing choices are available for almost every interest one might have. This means that YOU can work on something daily you consider interesting – while at the same time making money! You can live where you please and telecommute every day. Have an Internet connection and a computer, will travel. YOU can market products from anywhere in the world. The possibility of wealth exists.Affiliate Marketing is a world-wide possibility. Successful marketers are able to reach literally thousands of different people every month to sell their products or services to. Once customers start trusting you, the buying of products or services happens 24 X 7. You can start on a minimal budget. If you decided to open a brick-and-mortar selling clothing for example, you would need retail floor-space, employees, and start-up funds; not to mention the fixed cost overhead, a big investment. Starting an internet business requires buying the equivalent of a store, but it is much cheaper!The ConsYou will need to learn new skillsInternet marketing requires time to study, learn, and practice new things. If you are not prepared to learn how to make a simple website for example, this may not be the right industry for you. Wealthy Affiliates makes this studying, learning and practicing very easy to do, reducing the learning curve. Wealthy Affiliates also has real time chat for whenever you have questions about the training. The internet is full of misguided informationUnfortunately, there are many scams offering short-cuts, and all sorts of pie in the sky products. Joining Wealthy Affiliates and sticking with it will reduce getting distracted by this and therefore will mitigate this “Con”. You will need to spend time daily to grow your businessContrary to the scams out there, there isn’t an “Easy” button to push. Affiliate Marketing is not hard or difficult there are just a lot of moving pieces one has to learn and implement consistently. Have you decided whether this is really for you?If you dread the thought of spending time consistently, or do not like the idea of learning new things then you MAY NOT be right for Affiliate Marketing. Building online wealth takes time, it is not a get rich quick type of thing. If the “cons” listed above DON’T put you off, then I recommend you get started.

October 16, 2014 at 6:17 amEasy peasy is right, of course after you learn how it’s all done. Wealthy Affiliate is a great place to get trained in this department and I too would recommend it to anyone trying to get started with affiliate marketing or any type of online marketing for that matter. Thanks for sharing Susie.

November 14, 2014 at 11:27 pmYes, the easy peasy part is meant for those who take the time to learn it. Once learned it isn’t all that hard to implement.

October 16, 2014 at 6:05 amOne of the main reasons that I want to work from home is to put an end to the frustration of telecommuting. The petrol hike, car maintenance fee and the time spent stuck on traffic is so disproportionate when you compare to how much effort we put into a day to earn a paycheck. On top of that, our job is not secured.
Working from home – be it affiliate marketing or running an e-commerce site – will certainly help save up some petrol fee and with the excessive money, I can start planning for my retirement instead.

November 14, 2014 at 11:26 pmI understand. My commute took one hour each way. So, 2 hours out of the day sitting in traffic. I hated that part.

October 8, 2014 at 2:22 amGreat illustrations! You really made it very easy to understand affiliate marketing. I love the fact that you laid out the cards as far as what to expect, no deceptions.
Wealthy affiliate provides the best and most affordable internet enterprise education. Where else could you learn skills you can use to start or grow your own business? Everyone else seems to only teach skills you need to sell their own products.
Great content. Keep up the good work Susie!
