Easily one of the best posts I’ve ever read Finch. I was strictly a publisher once myself and I saw/felt/anticipated much of what you were saying and that was when I really started to diversify. Not so much out of the industry in a whole but in different branches from within.

Damn, this just makes me depressed. Every time I think about aff marketing I get excited..right now I’m working on the SEO route of it, but see PPC in my future. Is the future really this grim for SEO/PPC/media buying. Some days I just don’t know what to do…

The best thing to do is create/source your own products.

Benefit: higher margin + affiliate marketing skills = destroy competition

Downsides: takes longer to set up, sourcing products, setting up site, cc processing etc

One of the problems with AM, is the bigger your adspend gets, the more ‘glued’ to your computer you need to be.

I’ll write a blog post soon on how to source products from Asia, and not appear like a newbie.

Great post. I’ve heard stories of people who use to net a million or so a year promoting ringtones via Adwords and are now looking for a job.

Affiliate marketing is high risk, high reward. You enjoy the reward, but it is crucial to have a backup plan or be building on something else. I’ve told numerous people I’d rather have 10 campaigns netting me $100 each than 1 netting me $10K a day.

Epic. One thing being an affiliate marketer can teach though is that there is always opportunity out there. You can always out hustle someone else and get some of the pie. If anything, this life style breeds life long entrepreneurs. I don’t think I can ever have a job again where I’m not the boss.
