The money is on the backend

While there are many affiliates out there, promoting xyz products, personally I think it's a waste of time. Why?
Well, because despite some great commissions, the real money is in the backend. For example; you offer a 50 - 100% commission for your $5 eBook, let affiliates promote it and then make $200 with course upsell on the backend, where affiliates make nothing. Sounds familiar?
It's not fair to affiliates, but it makes a killing for you as a vendor.
So, my question is; does it really pay to be an affiliate, or should you become a vendor? I mean, it's a lot of work, no matter what course you take.

    Of course as an affiliate you do not earn on back end products. You need to do a JV with the vendor to get access to those commissions.

    You may need to negotiate the cost of access but such an investment pays off in the medium to long term.

    I would say you should definately become a vendor and create your own products. After doing that you should hire an army of affiliates and give them 100% commission on the front end. Then you can make a fortune with your backend offers.

    Hi

    100% commision for affiliate is to attract many JV Partner to promote our product. It's for long term asset. by giving full commision, many affiliate will join your JV list and we can buil our list faster

    The purpose is not in the front but in the end, to promote our product or affiliate again

    So, in my opinion it's fair for a vendor or affiliate
