<p>NOTE:  The following is a guest post from one of my favorite internet marketing mentors.</p>
<p>By Jimmy D. Brown of &#8220;Affiliatenaire&#8221;</p>
<p>The word &#8220;overhead&#8221; is not a favorite among those who run businesses of any kind.  Nobody likes the expenses of operating a business.  And nobody really talks about them much when it comes to promoting all of the &#8220;money-making&#8221; products and services online.</p>
<p>But, don&#8217;t kid yourself, there&#8217;s a lot of overhead.</p>
<p>That brings me to the fifth reason why I love affiliate marketing&#8230;</p>
<p>** You don&#8217;t need a big budget to make it work **</p>
<p>Do you have any idea how much money is spent running an internet business? There are monthly fees for&#8230;</p>
<p>* Autoresponders<br />
* Hosting<br />
* Management<br />
* Advertising<br />
* Scripts<br />
* Much more</p>
<p>There are regular fees for&#8230;</p>
<p>* Licensing<br />
* Outsourcing<br />
* Support<br />
* Customer Service<br />
* Maintenance<br />
* Development<br />
* Recruiting<br />
* Much more</p>
<p>It&#8217;s not uncommon to spend tens of thousands (even hundreds of thousands) of dollars in operational costs &#8212; which is fine if you&#8217;ve been in business a while and are making the bucks. However, if you&#8217;re a newcomer, it can be taxing on your budget!</p>
<blockquote><p>SIDEBAR:  I paid one girl over $30,000 last year just to oversee one small part of my business. No one talks much about it, but there ARE a lot of expenses involved before you get to the &#8220;bottom line&#8221; of profit.</p></blockquote>
<p>BUT, with affiliate marketing, you don&#8217;t need a big budget to make it work! You can simply use a variety of free and low-cost marketing methods to generate clicks to your affiliate link.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s why I love affiliate marketing.</p>
<p>You don&#8217;t need a big budget to make it work.</p>
<p>&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;.</p>
<p>Jimmy D. Brown is the author of &#8220;<a title="Affiliatenaire" href="http://kww48.affnaire.hop.clickbank.net" target="_blank">Affiliatenaire</a>&#8220;, teaching<br />
you how to create big-time affiliate commission checks in<br />
only 1-3 hours each week.  Discover how you can get cash in<br />
the bank without a website, experience or even an idea!</p>
<p>&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;.</p>
<p>Best,</p>

<p>Are you a person with way more pocket lint than money? At last&#8211;here&#8217;s a <a title="real business method" href="http://www.karenwehrle.com/affiliatenaire.html" target="_blank">real business method</a> you can use.</p>
<p>P.P.S.</p>
<p>While all the links in my post are meant to help you, some are affiliate links, which means if you click and buy, I could earn money.</p>

<p>NOTE:  The following is a guest post from one of my favorite internet marketing mentors.</p>
<p>By Jimmy D. Brown of &#8220;Affiliatenaire&#8221;</p>
<p>I&#8217;m sure by now you are well aware that there are those who have reported HUGE amounts of money being made with their online businesses.  What you may not be aware of is the amount of work involved in generating those &#8220;sales&#8221; (not always net profit, mind you &#8230; this isn&#8217;t &#8220;spendable&#8221; income in a lot of cases.)</p>
<p>That brings me to the fourth reason why I love affiliate marketing&#8230;</p>
<p>** You don&#8217;t need to manage an entire business **</p>
<p>While it can be quite lucrative, running an entire business with employees, inventory, partners, vendors, and other associates can be a time-sucking, frustrating ordeal.</p>
<p>Imagine&#8230;</p>
<p>* Processing refunds<br />
* Putting out fires when partners SPAM<br />
* Managing day-to-day operations<br />
* Overseeing projects you&#8217;ve outsourced<br />
* Recruiting new affiliates<br />
* Training everyone to help you<br />
* Paying taxes<br />
* Taking care of the paper trail<br />
* Doing all of the &#8220;stuff&#8221; that business owners do.</p>
<p>Didn&#8217;t you want to start an internet business to make more time for important things in life?</p>
<p>Why not make a lot of money WITHOUT making a lot of extra work for yourself?!</p>
<p>It can be a lot of extra work and stress. BUT, with affiliate marketing, you don&#8217;t need to manage an entire business! You are simply responsible for promoting your affiliate link&#8230; someone else handles all the rest.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s why I love affiliate marketing.</p>
<p>You don&#8217;t need to manage an entire business.</p>

<p>NOTE:  The following is a guest post from one of my favorite internet marketing mentors.</p>
<p>By Jimmy D. Brown of &#8220;Affiliatenaire&#8221;</p>
<p>Pop quiz time.  What does &#8220;HTML&#8221; stand for?  Don&#8217;t know that one?  How about this &#8211; what does &#8220;FTP&#8221; stand for? OK, one more chance.  Do you know how to work with either?</p>
<p>That brings me to the second reason why I love affiliate marketing&#8230;</p>
<p>** You don&#8217;t need to build a website **</p>
<p>What scares people more than creating a product is building a website!</p>
<p>* What in the world is HTML?  Or FTP?<br />
* How much does the software cost?  And hosting?<br />
* How do I upload files?<br />
* Why isn&#8217;t it formatted correctly?<br />
* Why don&#8217;t my graphics look like the ones the pros have?</p>
<p>If you are a complete beginner, it can be very difficult even using templates) to get an attractive website in place. And hiring a professional to do it for you is out of the budget for most people.</p>
<p>But, with affiliate marketing, you don&#8217;t need to build a website.  You simply send visitors to someone else&#8217;s professionally designed site through your affiliate link.</p>
<blockquote><p>SIDEBAR:  Just in case you&#8217;re interested, HTML stands for &#8220;hypertext markup language&#8221; and is the coding used to build webpages.  FTP stands for &#8220;file transfer protocol&#8221; and is the process used for moving files from your computer to a website, or vice versa.</p></blockquote>
<p>Really, in a manner of looking at it, you get to take advantage of the time and money invested by someone else to develop the site.  Think about it:  when you promote an affiliate link, it reflects firstly upon YOU.  You are the<br />
one who is advertising the link, recommending the product, sending people who have interacted with YOU to the website.</p>
<p>The professional site of someone else really represents you as the promoter, in the eye of those who have clicked through your link.</p>
<p>You get the benefits without the bother.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s why I love affiliate marketing.</p>
<p>You don&#8217;t need to build a website.</p>

<p>NOTE:  The following is a guest post from one of my favorite internet marketing mentors.</p>
<p>By Jimmy D. Brown of &#8220;Affiliatenaire&#8221;</p>
<p>Do you find yourself &#8220;starting&#8221; to create your own product to sell online, but never &#8220;finishing&#8221; it?</p>
<p>One of the things I love about affiliate marketing is &#8211;</p>
<p>** You don&#8217;t need to create your own products **</p>
<p>Many people find the idea of creating their own products to be an overwhelming and even paralyzing task.</p>
<p>* I don&#8217;t have any good ideas!<br />
* I&#8217;m not a writer!<br />
* There&#8217;s too much competition!<br />
* I don&#8217;t know how to set everything up!<br />
* I can&#8217;t figure out where to start!<br />
* It&#8217;s too hard!</p>
<p>These are just a few of the valid reasons many people give when it comes to not creating their own products to sell. I&#8217;m sure with a few minutes of brainstorming, we could come up with a list of many more.</p>
<p>With affiliate marketing, you don&#8217;t need your own products. You simply promote someone else&#8217;s already proven successful offer for a commission.</p>
<p>And, truth be told, even if you ARE a writer and you DO have lots of ideas and you CAN figure it all out&#8230;</p>
<p>** Nobody wants to create new products all the time **</p>
<p>As good as you may be, you don&#8217;t know everything!  Why try to create a product on every topic imaginable in your market when you can earn just as much money by simply promoting someone else&#8217;s really good offer as one of your profit streams?</p>
<p>That&#8217;s why I love affiliate marketing.</p>
<p>You don&#8217;t need to create your own products.</p>
