<p>NOTE:  The following is a guest post from one of my favorite<br />
internet marketing mentors.</p>
<p>Why I Love Affiliate Marketing &#8211; Part 5<br />
By Jimmy D. Brown of &#8220;Affiliatenaire&#8221;</p>
<p>The word &#8220;overhead&#8221; is not a favorite among those who run<br />
businesses of any kind.  Nobody likes the expenses of<br />
operating a business.  And nobody really talks about them<br />
much when it comes to promoting all of the &#8220;money-making&#8221;<br />
products and services online.</p>
<p>But, don&#8217;t kid yourself, there&#8217;s a lot of overhead.</p>
<p>That brings me to the fifth reason why I love affiliate<br />
marketing&#8230;</p>
<p>** You don&#8217;t need a big budget to make it work **</p>
<p>Do you have any idea how much money is spent running an<br />
internet business? There are monthly fees for&#8230;</p>
<p>* Autoresponders<br />
* Hosting<br />
* Management<br />
* Advertising<br />
* Scripts<br />
* Much more</p>
<p>There are regular fees for&#8230;</p>
<p>* Licensing<br />
* Outsourcing<br />
* Support<br />
* Customer Service<br />
* Maintenance<br />
* Development<br />
* Recruting<br />
* Much more</p>
<p>It&#8217;s not uncommon to spend tens of thousands (even<br />
hundreds of thousands) of dollars in operational<br />
costs &#8212; which is fine if you&#8217;ve been in business<br />
a while and are making the bucks. However, if you&#8217;re<br />
a newcomer, it can be taxing on your budget!</p>
<p>SIDEBAR:  I paid one girl over $30,000 last year<br />
just to oversee one small part of my business.<br />
No one talks much about it, but there ARE a lot<br />
of expenses involved before you get to the<br />
&#8220;bottom line&#8221; of profit.</p>
<p>BUT, with affiliate marketing, you don&#8217;t need a big<br />
budget to make it work! You can simply use a variety<br />
of free and low-cost marketing methods to generate<br />
clicks to your affiliate link.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s why I love affiliate marketing.</p>
<p>You don&#8217;t need a big budget to make it work.</p>

only 1-3 hours each week.  Discover how you can get cash in<br />
the bank without a website, experience or even an idea!<br />

<p>NOTE:  The following is a guest post from one of my favorite<br />
internet marketing mentors.</p>
<p>Why I Love Affiliate Marketing &#8211; Part 4<br />
By Jimmy D. Brown of &#8220;Affiliatenaire&#8221;</p>
<p>I&#8217;m sure by now you are well aware that there are those who<br />
have reported HUGE amounts of money being made with their<br />
online businesses.  What you may not be aware of is the<br />
amount of work involved in generating those &#8220;sales&#8221; (not<br />
always net profit, mind you &#8230; this isn&#8217;t &#8220;spendable&#8221;<br />
income in a lot of cases.)</p>
<p>That brings me to the fourth reason why I love affiliate<br />
marketing&#8230;</p>
<p>** You don&#8217;t need to manage an entire business **</p>
<p>While it can be quite lucrative, running an entire business<br />
with employees, inventory, partners, vendors, and other<br />
associates can be a time-sucking, frustrating ordeal.</p>
<p>Imagine&#8230;</p>
<p>* Processing refunds<br />
* Putting out fires when partners SPAM<br />
* Managing day-to-day operations<br />
* Overseeing projects you&#8217;ve outsourced<br />
* Recruting new affiliates<br />
* Training everyone to help you<br />
* Paying taxes<br />
* Taking care of the paper trail<br />
* Doing all of the &#8220;stuff&#8221; that business owners do.</p>
<p>Didn&#8217;t you want to start an internet business to make<br />
more time for important things in life?</p>
<p>Why not make a lot of money WITHOUT making a lot of extra<br />
work for yourself?!</p>
<p>It can be a lot of extra work and stress. BUT, with<br />
affiliate marketing, you don&#8217;t need to manage an entire<br />
business! You are simply responsible for promoting your<br />
affiliate link&#8230; someone else handles all the rest.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s why I love affiliate marketing.</p>
<p>You don&#8217;t need to manage an entire business.</p>

<p>NOTE:  The following is a guest post from one of my favorite<br />
internet marketing mentors.</p>
<p>Why I Love Affiliate Marketing &#8211; Part 1<br />
By Jimmy D. Brown of &#8220;Affiliatenaire&#8221;</p>
<p>Do you find yourself &#8220;starting&#8221; to create your own product<br />
to sell online, but never &#8220;finishing&#8221; it?</p>
<p>One of the things I love about affiliate marketing is &#8211;</p>
<p>** You don&#8217;t need to create your own products **</p>
<p>Many people find the idea of creating their own products to<br />
be an overwhelming and even paralyzing task.</p>
<p>* I don&#8217;t have any good ideas!<br />
* I&#8217;m not a writer!<br />
* There&#8217;s too much competition!<br />
* I don&#8217;t know how to set everything up!<br />
* I can&#8217;t figure out where to start!<br />
* It&#8217;s too hard!</p>
<p>These are just a few of the valid reasons many people give<br />
when it comes to not creating their own products to sell.<br />
I&#8217;m sure with a few minutes of brainstorming, we could come<br />
up with a list of many more.</p>
<p>With affiliate marketing, you don&#8217;t need your own products.<br />
You simply promote someone else&#8217;s already proven successful<br />
offer for a commission.</p>
<p>And, truth be told, even if you ARE a writer and you DO have<br />
lots of ideas and you CAN figure it all out&#8230;</p>
<p>** Nobody wants to create new products all the time **</p>
<p>As good as you may be, you don&#8217;t know everything!  Why try<br />
to create a product on every topic imaginable in your<br />
market when you can earn just as much money by simply<br />
promoting someone else&#8217;s really good offer as one of your<br />
profit streams?</p>
<p>That&#8217;s why I love affiliate marketing.</p>
<p>You don&#8217;t need to create your own products.</p>
<p>&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;.</p>
<p>Jimmy D. Brown is the author of &#8220;Affiliatenaire&#8221;, teaching<br />
you how to create big-time affiliate commission checks in<br />
only 1-3 hours each week.  Discover how you can get cash in<br />
the bank without a website, experience or even an idea!<br />
