anyone can do it….continued
I had another meeting yesterday with the same business associates about various projects, normally these projects would take up 2 hours, the entire meetings duration.
Yesterday’s meeting seemed a little rushed we had come to what I thought would be the end of the meeting in around 45 minutes, so i offered them a coffee before they went, “Before we go?, you better get some more coffee on the go we’ll be here a while!”
At this point my mind is racing, wondering what the problem is.
“This affiliate marketing, How does it work again?”
So I explained the concept, again, then about how you need traffic and content to keep visitors coming back.
Then the inevitable question “so why aren’t you doing it?”.
Aaaaagggghhhh!!! that same bloody question, I ask myself it everyday.
Due to the way affiliate marketing works there is anything upto and beyond a 6 week lead, from making the sale to cash in the bank, and when you’ve got bills to pay and food to buy waiting that long isn’t an option. If I had the bills covered for 2 months I would go hammer and tongs at affiliate marketing, adding as many sites as I can, as much content as i can and driving as much traffic as I can. With a 2 month grace period affiliate marketing could easily become my main income(I don’t need a lot).
“Well how about if we pay you to develop some affiliate sites?”
I thought it had too be a wind up, but they are serious, they have some site ideas and want me to build and monitize them. An hourly wage and a percentage of the profits what more could I want, apart from a few more sites like that ;).
Is this a done thing in the industry? have an idea and pay someone else to make and affiliate site from it?
I suppose its no different to paying for an ecommerce site to be built and managed. But it gives me the opportunity to tune may affiliate marketing skills and get paid at the end of the week, which will hopefully allow me to develop more sites of my own.
