WHY MAKE IT YOUR OWN BUSINESS?

No matter how you look at it, if youre someone elses affiliate, you
are, for the most part, helping them build their business and not
your own.

Unless, that is, you take others affiliate programs and re-sell
items and MAKE YOUR OWN business out of them.

Now do not get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with helping to
contruct anothers business while being paid a commission to do so.
However, think of it this way. Have you seen the cartoons where a
newborn chick comes out of its shell and looks up at the first animal
it sees and says mama even though its a dog or something and not
its real mother?

If you refer all the people directly to an affiliate web page with your
advertising, who is it they are establishing a connection with? Thats
right, the affiliate program, NOT with you.

Now, if your branding leads directly to YOUR website for
YOUR business where you then generate a recommendation to
affiliate programs or re-sell items you believe are valuable, who are
they establishing their first connection with?

Thats right, YOU! Sure, as they purchase items or join affiliate
programs they will identify with the owners of those products or
programs, but they will always remember YOU as the one that sent
them there. Which means they will also remember you and your
site as a resource.

Now doesnt that sound like a better way to do things?

HOW TO MAKE IT YOUR OWN BUSINESS

Create your own company title , domain name, and web page .
>From that, build your OWN Internet presence.

This gives you SO many more options for marketing. You might
publish your own ezine from that domain, get listed on search
engines, offer multiple programs from one place, offer freebies with
purchase, trade links with others, engage in joint ventures, and
contruct personal recommendations of items and programs.

As well, you may still make use of paid advertising and purchase guaranteed
visitors. However, you are now giving your web site visitors MORE to
choose from and a reason to return, thereby increasing the overall
effectiveness of your advertising dollars.

Did you catch all that? Doesnt that sound like the things a
successful Internet business does?

Of course, and you absolutely need never develop your own item, just
develop your OWN web presence using others products and
services as your sale items.

Affiliates for programs compete amongst themselves. If you can
establish your own unique web presence, you can rise above that
affiliate competition. Develop your own branding scheme, get
your own repeat contacts, and make your own reputation.

Why spend all of your efforts simply marketing others? Make your
OWN business out of what they offer and increase returns for
yourself.

After all, who are you in business for?
