In this post we continue on with ten more reasons.

By the way – if you have other reasons (Pro or Con) I’d love to hear them from you…….

Here goes……

11. Worldwide Marketplace: The Internet is the world’s largest marketplace. You can drive more visitors to your online store in a day, than a small-town merchant will see in his or her brick and mortar business in a year.

12. No Products to Develop: You don’t need to invest a lot of time in doing market research and then in building your own product. With affiliate programs, production costs aren’t an issue. This falls under the “no risk” category as well. If you are creating a product you need to be very thorough with your market research beforehand to be sure that you’re creating something that will actually sell. If you get it wrong it can cost tens of thousands of dollars in product development wasted! Affiliates don’t have much risk because they are only promoting products that someone else has paid to develop. An affiliate marketer can change products at any time. You can start affiliate marketing with no money and make thousands of dollars every single month.

13. No Inventory: As an affiliate marketer you can sell just about anything and never have to see it, touch it or store it. All the items are shipped directly from someone else other than you.

14. No Merchant Accounts: Setting up a merchant account is time-consuming, costly and most often very confusing (Gee, trying to set up PayPal comes to mind.) However, affiliate marketers don’t need merchant accounts. Merchants bear all the costs for payment processing, refunds, etc. As an affiliate, you’ll never lave to worry about chargebacks, fraud or losing your merchant account.

15. No Order-Processing: You can forget the hassles involved with collecting and storing names, addresses, credit card numbers, etc. The merchant does all the work involved with collecting and processing any order related details!

16. No Shipping: If you’ve ever been involved in a business that requires you to ship items you will know what a big hassle this is. The time and cost it takes to prepare and ship products to customers worldwide is huge. Affiliates never have to worry about packaging supplies, shipping rates or delivery.

17. No Customer Service: Do you hate the prospect of dealing with ornery people and customer complaints? Don’t worry about it! The merchant takes care of handling the complainers.

18. Multiple Income Streams: Relying on only one source of income can be dangerous, especially if it is a J.O.B. One of the keys to creating wealth is to have different sources of income. Many affiliates who are earning large amounts of money in affiliate marketing are usually promoting different products across a variety of markets at any given time. They don’t rely on one source of income and don’t have all their eggs in one basket. Another good idea is to diversify from just doing affiliate marketing.

19. High Income Potential: If you have a J.O.B., your salary is probably pre-determined and you can only trade hours for dollars. There’s probably not much, other than working extra hours, that you can do to increase your income. With an affiliate marketing business your income potential is limited only by your desire, effort and imagination. No other business that I am aware is so inexpensive to start yet offers such high profit potential.

20. Build Recurring Revenue: Affiliate marketing can be a relatively passive income, freeing you to spend more time doing the things you like. Yes it takes time to get started, but once you’re earning enough you’ll be able to do what any decent business manager does: Delegate. There is a huge wealth of freelance talent on the internet these days, and you can easily outsource all but the most vital tasks.

So there you have them. 20 reasons on why you should consider being an Affiliate Marketer.
