Do you believe affiliate marketers when they say they are trying to help you make money online? Or do you think that they are trying to sell you their products/tools that help you make money online? What is the first thing that crosses your mind when an affiliate marketer offers his/her help?

Of course they don`t care about me making money. They just wants to sell me something, but even more often they don`t even have a real product, they have some mystic systems that they use as an excuse for collecting money... Thats the one of main problems of making money online industry, there are problems with product. Great part of the companies don`t really have a product, they have just excouses and promises. Today making money online is 99% about knowing how to get people pay for nothing (just for promises) P.S I`m affiliate of GDI one of the best affiliate programs ever (they have quite good product, may I say)

Thanks for your response gustavs. I agree with you. Are you being sarcastic about GDI? I don't know how to react to your statment LOL I am not a member of GDI but I took the time to listen to their videos and read reviews. It can earn you a lot of money but I think it's another pyramid scheme. The domain is just too expensive for me. Just my personal opinion.

The domain? I know that hosting is included in the package man.

I thought each member gets a free domain but they have to pay 10 dollars a month for hosting. It has been a while since I watched the videos so I may not remember correctly.

I think that affiliate marketers are sincere in their intentions. But some programs they offer don't quite have the facility to directly make the marketer help their downlines. My take on this is that first and foremost affiliate marketers who are really good at it make tons of money from their programs, but think about it... how does one affiliate marketer really ever help their hundreds of downlines? Theoritically it's impossible to personally help all of them. Of course in most programs you get the facility to email your downlines with follow up information and offers, but how do they actually help their downlines personally if hundreds of them email them back with hundreds of questions? Much like most people seem to digest here on mylot. It's totally impossible to one to follow up on all their friends here. Specially if one has reached a hundred number of friends. It's totally impossible to accommodate all of them. That is why most of us just scan the notifications of those discussions we feel we can participate within our limits. Cheers!!!

But like most of us say on here, more than half of those online affiliate marketers only care about how much they can stuff in their downline and the tons of money they earn from them.

Not all but their are some that will help you learn affiliate marketing and thier are some that charge outrageous prices monthly or one price just to learn it and then leave things out.So you have to be careful.I am doing a afiliate marketing membership .I have been following this person for around a year on her one blog and she started her nicheblogger in August.She basically teaches people how to get into a whatever niche you would like and teaches you how to set up a blog or website ,how to market,ect.So it is really informative.It is an ongoing membership monthly or you can pay the one time fee and never have to pay a one time fee.I would like to do the one on one coachng as I like to make sure I am doing it right but I cant right now.Hopefully soon.it is 40.00 monthly for one on one coaching and for the lifetime one for one on one coaching it will be 297.00 but she is raising the price November 1st to 397.00 a month.Right now I pay 8.95 a month jst for the basic membership but it is 97.00 month lifetime and she is raising it to to 197.00 lifetime soon. I havent done my website now due to money being tight .But I will be soon as I am ding things to make money to get it done.It does though take some money to make money.I am not saying lots but to invest like a domain name and webhosting ,ect.Her sight teaches you more about niche and affiliate marketing than I have ever seen,SHe raised her membership each 100 members though until it gets to 24.95.and then that will be the set price but right now it is 14.95 until 100 people sign up for it.:)

I believe some may want to help you, but its only to in turn help themselves. I see nothing wrong with that though. Affiliate marketing can earn you hundreds of thousands of dollars per year, even more if done to scale and done correctly. If someone is willing to show you how to do that yourself and let you in on their strategies, then it is worth the $100 or whatever it is you pay for their system. If you're interested in affiliate marketing, check out the uber affiliate. Find him on youtube or on his site. Hes a young guy making a killing in the a/m world. He gives out loads of great info on his site for free. Check it out sometime. You'll be glad you did.
