Newbies see Affiliate Marketing as quick and easy money.

It's what attracts them to Internet Marketing in the first place -- Quick and easy money. So, I wouldn't be surprised if most of them actually do start with Affiliate Marketing. Although, 95% is a bold claim.

You can make more money when you sell more of your stuff. So it makes sense for people to start some sort of an Affiliate Marketing Program. Or to leverage an existing one. For instance, people in the Make Money Online Niche use JVzoo -- which is a huge affiliate platform. Shaunybb above gives you other good examples.

Affiliate Marketing definitely works and is how I make the majority of my money online.

it think IM was a 16.6 billion $ in 2016

Just a heads up Affiliate marketing falls under MMO not IM that is for bricks and mortar who have website , Facebook , twitter and anyone who markets there stuff on the web
just though would clear that up!

Thanks for the responses guys. Affiliate marketing never attracted me. I've always made my money with my own products and services but now I'm considering targeting IM'ers and thought I would just do a quick test of the AM niche with some PLR.

donald trump wrote a book on it. Maybe this is saying alot.

Affiliate marketing is a $6.8 billion industry, alot of companies are really beigining to sign up to it.

From health companies to clothing to amazon to gyms etc.

It's a good way to start out aswell earning some income especially if you dont know how to create your own products.

Alot of marketers just build a business based on Affiliate Marketing and can live comfortably. The opportunities is there.

Affiliate marketing is a good win win situation, we get to promote products/services we could never get setup, and they get sales brought to them from us affiliates.

We have affiliates actively promoting our digital marketing company and they bring a lot of sales with zero effort on our part - having your own affiliate program on a product/service you create is where you can really leverage the power of affiliates.

But for those starting out in IM, its a very realistic and sensible place to start as you don't need your own product/customer service etc.

Yes affiliate marketing is big. Not only in internet marketing but overall, many companies uses it.

However it isn't easy to start off with affiliate marketing, there's no push button stuff. You gotta work hard, the harder you work the more you'll get out of it.

Or well you can also outsource it but when you do it the results will be much better.

It wouldn't shock me if 95% start with affiliate marketing, but I don't really believe in that.

I myself 6 years back as a "newbie" tried more then just affiliate marketing, I tried everything I could possible think of haha.

Either way, yes affiliate marketing big, and 2, I am sceptical about the 95% claim.

Well affiliate marketing is definitely most newbie favorite because they are often told they don't need a website to start making money with it.

It is definitely up there along with freelancing as newbies favorite.

Affiliate marketing is basically the next biggest thing next to selling your own product...

If you don't have a product to sell yourself, you sell someone else's for a commission.

When you sum it up, everyone does affiliate marketing. You recommend a new laptop that was just released to a friend? That's technically a form of affiliate marketing (but you aren't getting paid for that of course).

Affiliate marketing is just a way for people to refer someone else to a product and get paid for doing so... In that aspect... affiliate marketing is possibly one of the most important aspects of any business. It allows businesses to build a 'team' of people who only get paid for the results they deliver. Basically one step below organic word of mouth marketing every company dreams of having.

But if you have enough affiliate marketers talking about you and your products, you will naturally create organic momentum for your product that spreads beyond your influencers (affiliates).

I went a little overboard explaining affiliate marketing in its entirety but It's important to realize the benefits both side get from affiliate marketing and understand how important it really is.

Affiliate marketing is huge. There are training sites like Affilorama that have 300,000 members all interested in becoming successful affiliates.

Wealthy affiliate is another training site. So yeah, there is a huge market for this.

It is a great way to start for newbies. You can focus more on content creation and marketing without getting bogged down with product development.

Great place to start! You don't have to worry about sales pages, product creation and support. Just refer a targeted lead and let the vendor do the rest. As far as the money goes affiliate marketing is really priceless. You can make as much as you want to...

Many of these affiliate marketers make most of their money from "Influence Marketing".

I made a video on this actually:

Affiliate marketing is huge and making money is somewhat easy especially if you go outside the traditional markets like IM and finance..

Affiliate marketing is so huge that even if a lot of new marketers come up everyday, it won't be yet be possible to fulfill all the offers and their targets available online.
Thinking about travel alone they say that only 20% of the affiliates are able to earn atleast $1-2k per month.
So the potential can be compared to looking at the universe.
Affiliate marketing is yet stuck to major English speaking countries. Yet the the other markets are just getting started with affiliate marketing. So there is a lot of scope yet and it's endless.

Affiliate marketing is a huge industry and it has a huge market. Almost all sites that you see in SERPs when you search a term, is doing affiliate marketing.

He is just saying is small because he probably is not getting any market share from it...and when people are frustrated they say stupid things like that without having any kind of knowledge about it.

Its the easiest way to start out rather than directly going into product launching

its pretty big.



all you gotta do is connect the people with the aff product..



you do that by pre selling them and building a relationship with them via email

Affiliate marketing is a multi-billion dollar industry, you can make as much money as you can imagine. I make a full-time living from affiliate marketing .

My opinion is a beginner should definitely start off with affiliate marketing.

No products to create.

No support to deal with.

No complicated process.

Just traffic & conversions.

Yes, as a whole affiliate marketing is massive. It's just a source of traffic... that people pay for upon obtaining a sale... rather than paying for the traffic upfront.

yeah! affiliate marketing is growing like crazy!! and it will keep growing!!

Some people find it difficult to think about internet marketing outside of this forum and niche, but "performance marketing" is absolutely huge and a billion dollar industry across different verticals and traffic sources.

well while lots of people say its a scam,

I talked to a guy who is doing $40,000 per month. And yes, without any of his own products. So its no way a scam. Its about building an audience, and showing them stuff. That is all he does.

Any big wig, will tell you its about building up and audience, and email list, and then helping that list, and plugging programs along the way.

Infact my post above has helped countless people go from broke to make a full time income online.

I think affiliate marketing is more valuable if you have an existing traffic source. Not sure why so may beginners would start right away with affiliate marketing. but then again, starting with no product, going the affiliate marketing route may be easier. Everyone has their own boat to row.

Affiliate marketing is pretty huge for people who are just starting out and don't have their own products yet.
Many people make their living out of selling other people's products...

Affiliate marketing is huge--and I would venture to guess that just about everyone who is anybody on line got started in affiliate marketing.

Now, it is even better, because of amazon, all you have to do, in my opinion, is get people there through your link--and let them do the rest!

Hope this Helps.

I never thought about this before, but now that you ask. I am still not thinking or caring about it. Lets just say it is big enough for everyone

Affiliate Marketing is Massive and it always will be.

That is all.

I will say limitless.

You can promote information products, physical products and CPA offers.

You can even do e-book and kindle publishing.

Or do videos.

Well i dont know if that number its true but i see the big guys are playing with affiliate marketing with clickbank amazon .So i think this its the way to go

Affiliate marketing is bigger than any of us can imagine. Unfortunately 99% of people here only focus on trying to market $10 eBooks and stuff.

I found out my old employer gave about $1500 commission on a sale and there are plenty of companies (with real offices and actual employees) making a decent income off the back of this.

And the niche? Education.

affiliate marketing is awesome DO it!! and do it well

Affiliate Marketing is a huge business and a great one to start in. Many people who start a on-line business do start in AM because it's easy to get into, low cost to start, and can produce results quickly.
It's a great source of income.
