    Is Affiliate Marketing a SCAM???

    "Are You Ready To Make Thousands Of Dollars Every Week. Working Less Than One Hour Per Day."
    Bold statements, so does the Making Millionaires Online deliver on its promises or is it another scam delivering nothing. I like many bought the Making Millionaires Online after reading the sales page and liking what I saw.
    Firstly let me give you a very brief overview of the package.
    The package is currently the largest package being offered from the money marketing stable including a massive bonus items, the bonus items are not the usual rubbish you see in these type of offers, some of the bonus items that are given away are products that are being sold legitimately on their own for a higher price than the entire package. Currently if you buy the package, M.S the author is giving away a custom affiliate web site designed by one of his web designers and valued at $1400 absolutely free, although I am led to believe that this is a limited offer and could well be withdrawn by the time you are reading this review. The book itself is the most comprehensive compilation of ways to make money on the internet that I have ever come across.
    So does it deliver?
    In all honesty I would have to say yes it does, with the techniques of earning money fully detailed in each area whether you choose a pay per click advertising strategy or you go down the EBay Avenue you will make money using this guide. However, I realize first and foremost that the sales page is trying to sell you something and although I am earning substantial amounts each week using a technique from this book, it would be a blatant lie for me to say that I am doing this in less than an hour a day, I am spending more like 2-3 hours a day on the particular method that I am using, now in time as my skills and abilities increase this time may come down a little, but I don't think that it will go down to less than an hour a day.
    In Conclusion I would say that the bold statement "Are You Ready to Make Thousands of Dollars Every Week. Working Less Than One Hour per Day" is partly true, although for me it is the right part of the statement that is correct, you can earn thousands of dollars a week, however you need to devote more than an hour a week to achieve this. I would also add that to achieve the results I have attained, there has been effort on my part to make it work, this is not a click a button and make some money solution, but then I never thought it was, it does require effort on the part of the purchaser and then the sky is the limit.

    There are tons of success stories available for viewing on youtube, and all over the net for that matter! The claims of thousands per week are a little over rated, although there is a lot of potential in activities of this type... When people take a moment to research they quickly find out how long these activities have been blessing families all over the world.... Take a moment to check it out, and leave any questions on my page!

    I don't think you can call affiliate marketing a scam. A lot of people are making a lot of money. At most you could call the tag line you listed a scam. Sure you can earn thousands a day, but it takes hard work. All of the successful marketers I talk to treat it as a serious job, and put the time in to make it successful.

    I know I'm new but affiliate marketing might need some additional definition for this discussion in my opinion. For instance if a company that sells web templates is reselling reliable hosting they're doing their clients a great service while making a great deal of money. There are even cases where affiliate function more as value added resellers (VARs) for the right products.

    Definately not! Building an army of sales representatives is the wisest move a business owner can make in order to accelerate their market reach. Businesses whether online or offline offers to pay an affiliate to promote their product or service successfully to new consumers. The affiliate is paid only if they bring a customer to the web site or business and they purchase from the business owner. The keyword here is successfully promoting the product or service to the point of making a sale.

    The use of the word scam is because of the frustration of affiliates being unable to make a sale. Scam is used as in fraud or one who won't follow through on the offer. It doesn't apply here because most businesses give a genuine offer and will gratefully pay any affiliate that can profitably promote for them.

    Some affiliates are successful and others are not. I would suggest that you not give up but join a forum where affiliates gather and allow them to teach you how to become a successful affiliate.

    Some products or services are more desirable than others and thus sell better. Get other affiliates to recommend affiliate programs that are profitable for them. Then ask them how they promote their favorite affiliate programs. Simply ask, most people are more than willing to be helpful.

    Stay encouraged, don't give up and ask a lot of questions from successful people.


    Sincere Success,

    i would likely agree to what clevergal said "Some affiliates are successful and others are not".though some would want to be a little bit deceptive by leaking your sales basically creating a divergent means of payment other than clickbank well like my coach Dylan Loh would suggest that you do a mock purchase to be absolute sure and if it happens do not promote it. positvely do not give up to join affiliates via clickbank and join other good forums like webproworld. where you will be taken by the hand and be teached on how to become a successful affiliate.
    Sincerely yours,

    This may be just a guess, but I don't think he was actually asking or even talking about the subject. This being his first post, and with a link removed.

    I don't think the first post itself could be such a lengthy one if he's not a scam (oops SPAM) forum poster.

    Asking if affiliate marketing is a scam is like asking if going into business for yourself is a scam. Many of these people, in fact most from what I've read and witnessed, go into business with an employee mind.

    If I do exactly what I'm told this will happen...

    That's not the case when you're going into business yourself. Am I allowed to post a link to an article I wrote on the Business Mind vs the Employee Mind?
