One of the first things that come to some people’s minds when they learn about affiliate programs is they realize that someone else, the merchant, will be profiting off their efforts. They feel like the merchant is getting the better end of the stick because they as an affiliate are doing all the work.
These are all reasonable thoughts, but the reality is that they could not be further from the truth. Being a merchant is not all easy-breezy. Its not all cashing checks and eating filet mignon’s. The merchant is the one who has to deal with the headaches of dealing with customers and making sure the leads that you and other affiliates generate convert on the backend. Not to mention, the most basic aspect, the merchant is responsible for the products delivery, shipping and handling (if its a physical product). Even if its just a digital product that doesn’t require S&H, customer support can still be a massive pain if you are dealing with thousands of customers.
More so, the merchant has to have a merchant account with the bank and deal with issues like refunds, cancellations, and chargebacks.
As an affiliate, we don’t have to worry about any of that crap. All we have to do is generate the lead. We get paid regardless of if it converts on the backend or not. And customer support for a product is handled by the product owner. The affiliate lifestyle really is amazing. Thousands of dollars a day, and you don’t have to answer to anybody.
Seriously, anyone can buy Zero Friction Marketing on July 28 and begin a new life.
