Online Marketing Leader

Affiliate Marketing has been touted as a way to make money fast – without the bother of needing your own product. It’s indeed possible to make money with affiliate marketing, and there are a few rare affiliate programs where the money, IF earned, appears quickly. However, they are the exception rather than the rule. More often than not, the money appears after a significant time lag. In addition, most programs also have minimums that have to be reached before you get anything at all. Of course if you have earned just pennies, the delay won’t make much of a difference. Even MyHelpHub.com, which somebody had touted as a much faster-paying program, doesn’t pay more quickly. Maybe they used to, but by the time I got to them, they had clearly adjusted to market conventions.

Affiliate programs may be legit and worthy, but the money from your affiliate marketing efforts won’t be showing up in your bank account nearly as fast as your funds will get depleted if you buy all their products to make sure they’re worthy of your investment in time and elbow grease, or if you advertise your affiliate links by way of Pay Per Click. Being a good affiliate marketer can be costly, and if you don’t watch out, it can land you in a financial jam. Why not create your own product? Either from private label products, or from scratch. You can sell your products directly through PayPal or your shopping cart system, and if you have PayPal’s ATM card, you can get the money just as soon as it hits your PayPal account, which is the minute you’ve made the sale.

So if you want fast, sell your own product. If you want a no-fuss stream of income, albeit not a rapid-fire one, pick a few great products and tell everybody and their friends about them. The best approach: combine the two. That way, you’ll have the best of both worlds.
