Have you noticed?? Most people are just 'Middlemen'? This isnt a bad thing, as being a 'middleman' can be Very Profitable

Have you noticed many people who just offer you Free PLR articles they have the rights over are just middlemen?

Affiliate marketers are also middlemen in a way, as they are the middleman between the traffic visitors and the vendor (whose product they are promoting).

People who offer PLR articles for your in exchange for your emails are often middlemen, as they have rights to pass on the PLR articles for you to use. The middleman didn't write them did he?

(in some cases he might have though)

There are Loads of opportunities to become a middleman, you can also get paid for building a list of subscribers where you get paid per email referral you do.

Think outside the box, and be a middleman.
There is alot of opportunities for the effort involved in this type of marketing can be less than actually creating the product yourself and marketing it.

(although I do advise you to eventually start to produce your own product).

There are many variations of middlemen, even airline agents are middlemen for the airline companies.

    You could argue that the "middle man" is the foundation of business. You have distributors and resellers. Thats really how it all works.

    There is not very many business that operate outside of this arrangement. Most everything in the business world requires a middleman, or at least uses one. I would say an advertising salesman, but honestly they are just a middleman between a prospect and the network the salesman works for.

        My wife and I own a cheese and wine shop. Most of our cheeses come from all over the world (lots of middlemen), but we do get a few that are made here in Texas by a small group of people (think commune) who raise the animals, milk them, make the cheese, sell the cheese, and deliver it right here to our shop. They are the exception.

    Middlemen help drive businesses and the products they produce. Any product owner would do well to show appreciation for the important role that middlemen play.

    I do not know of any business model that does not have middle men. When I used to sell cars I was a middle man, along with the dealership. When you go into a store, they are all middle men right after the wholesaler.

    This is just another example of how business works. Many people do not see what happens in a brick and mortar business. Internet marketing is not any different, you are just now seeing how commerce works.

    Often times being the middle man is one of the most profitable places to be.

    There's not a whole lot more valuable than being able to connect someone who wants something, with someone who can give it to them.

    In a round about way... all info-marketers are middle men.


    Find a hungry market and give them what they want. You're a middle man between them and the information.

    In a more random note, I was in a movie that comes out Aug 6th called MiddleMen. haha... Got to hang with Luke Wilson and everything. (Don't look up the preview unless you're ok with nudity).

    I came in here fuming that someone was criticizing the middle man... I am now calm again. I am an affiliate marketer, so I guess you could say that I am the middle man, and make a decent living doing so.

    Long live the middle man!

    Well, with all of us being marketers in some capacity we are all "middlemen" by definition.

    The role of a marketer is to form a connection. A connection between a product or service and a buyer.

    A marketer literally stands in the middle of offers and prospects and draws a line from one to the other.

    Yes, you can create your own products and services. But someone is still going to have to step out into the "middle" and make that connection with the people who want to buy. It might be you, it might be another person, but someone has to do it.

    At the end of the day, it's highly skilled middlemen that make the business world turn.
