all right it's some money-making
question what do I think about affiliate
marketing and blogging affiliate
marketing is nothing more than your
acting as a middle person you are
working with a vendor you're choosing a
product that you you believe in you want
to promote right and maybe you promote
that through your email is through
online social media then every single
time this is $100 worth of product price
point a hundred dollars and then you
promote it maybe you get a 5% 10% 20%
Commission every single time you refer
someone to the vendor and then we can
purchase you earn what I call an
affiliate Commission blogging you've
seen those before right long article
short article on a simple blog or maybe
a wordpress write powered by WordPress
pretty simple both models are fine I
mean beause I do leave it both actually
I have a blog on Dale comm it's quite
popular and we're adding a lot of
content to it Auto time more as a
branding right and traffic generation
strategy I don't view that as a business
but for some I mean I do have a few
friends who are doing quite well as a
bloggers may I say quite well you know
maybe six-figure a year right there I
think you know make they make decent
money that's a blogger and and then you
have people who are villa marketers that
are promoting other people's products
and they do very well my take is they
are better as a part of your strategy
they are part of your maybe a secondary
where for no stream versus a primary the
reason I say that it's because let's say
you've got your own business you're
selling products they say you're an
e-commerce business okay you're selling
young products you're doing all of that
and you're building a list you could add
a blog to your ecommerce store to
generate more interest to generate more
traffic so that people would see your
store or within your blog if you want to
you could have adsense on there so when
people who don't buy your products not
interested in your products so at least
you're making revenue from Google so
that's your revenue stream that's okay
that's free money that's cool now on the
other hand if you have an e-commerce
store where you have a lot of customers
coming in and let's say you are selling
survival kit you know with a emergency
kid maybe a flashlight little package
like that let's say that's what you sell
online
I sell little knives right which by the
way is a very good business very
profitable business and that's what
you're selling and you have 3040
thousand customers that you've
accumulated over the years so that's
good
so how can so you have your primary
business but you can have a secondary
business as an affiliate marketing
business because you have all these
customers so maybe then you could do an
affiliate launch to your list and say
hey you know for those you bought these
emergency kits survival kit from me here
is some other products that maybe you
would be interested in you know that
these products is it's complementary to
what you're offering not in competition
right it complements what you're
offering and your customers were
appreciated so you have your primary
business that is driving the sales but
then you have almost like a secondary
revenue stream also a traffic generation
strategy through your blog and then from
time to time if you want to you can also
offer other people's products to your
list to your customers that's a fail in
marketing so you see as a secondary
revenue source I think it's great as a
primary revenue source I think sometimes
it's not so good because it takes a lot
of effort to make a blog profitable it
takes a long time and you produce a lot
of content and most bloggers don't make
a whole lot of money you know make a
little bit money here and there but not
enough for them to pay all the bills to
just to make a full-time living doing it
or I feel of marketing the problem with
the feeling marketing is it fluctuates
when you promote something you make
money we don't promote something you
lose money right unless you are
promoting something that gives you a we
occurring income let's say you're
promoting hosting you're promoting
something there are software that you're
actually getting paid on a weekly basis
that's a different story
right but even then and still you need
to spend money you know spend effort and
spend time to drive that traffic so
that's still it takes a lot of effort so
I like it's a secondary
as a primary strategy let me know what
other questions you might have when it
comes to internet marketing online
marketing these are very basic questions
if you ask more advanced question I
could answer those for you but
unfortunately most of my viewers your
beginner so give me a better question
