We would have to give that a whole hearted “you betcha”. The need for new affiliate marketers right now is stronger than it has ever been.Take a look, these days the tell tail signs are unmistakable.
I know there was a time that the marketing and advertising trade was probably a little on the rough side. If we look at times gone by there was a time when companies paid alot in promotion to get little back on the world wide web. Some of that had to do with confidence problems when purchasing online. When the affiliate marketer decided to take on this situation, businesses were more than accepting of this because, well, we entrepreneurs were gonna guarantee a outcome or the advertising was free. Wonderful. Now they understand we are commission only and they want alot of us.
And then comes the flip side. When affiliate work was in the young phases the over blown kind of hype was just one thing that was not needed to develop an affiliate base. You all know what I’m saying,” BE A MILLIONAIRE BY SELLING Q-TIPS” or something like that. I’m not to sure if the hype didn’t just scare alot of nice prospects away.Then you learned from the people that did try affiliate marketing and did’nt get a return really fast so they quit.
It was then you can’t get them in… to sell for a eager business, and paid advertisers were trying to cover their assets by claiming the collapse of the web because of quality of workmanship by affiliates in advertising. TOUGH.
All of a sudden the ice age was done and we evolved. The online marketer made it through the hard times because we proved to them that we are a stable source of sales for anything, and I mean anything.” Oh Yeah, I can push that, I know alot about it because I use it everyday”. Thats what they said when the toilet tissue companies moved to the internet, and most days you will see alot more looking to sell on the internet.
There are a huge number of major businesses that are relying on us,the affiliate marketer, to come up with a conservative ten to twenty percent of their income. Now what’s really odd is the fact that these companies might be paying extra for their online advertising. The advertising companies that opposed us are now being paid to hunt up the affiliates for them, along with huge amounts of money just to get them put on the internet. No,we didn’t kill off the advertising companies we just forced them go about it differently and use a new tool to do their jobs. As a matter a fact, now that I think about it, doesn’t this industry have us paying for advertising today too? [;)cpc,another time for that]
So here I am now. Do we need more affiliates? With just about every business, not to mention individuals, having an affiliate program set up the need grows with in surges year after year. Walk with me here on this for a minute and we’ll take a look around. Let’s take one of the pioneering giants in the affiliate business, they will get you set up with a code and percentage even today. Then we take a look up the road here and my neighbor has affiliates selling sowing patterns or dress patterns or something for her on the web. Almost every website online has a spot to sign up. You can even go and find an ebook on how to be an affiliate and look at the bottom of the sales copy and…hello! a link to log in as an affiliate to sell a ebook on how to sell an ebook.
Well, what do you think? Are the affiliate marketers going to find a day when someone or some company turns and says “Nope, we don’t need percentage only affiliates to sell for our company anymore”. Warped thought.
