============================================================ 8 Reasons Why Affiliate Marketing Is repparttar Holy Grail Of E- Commerce

By Richard Adams

For too long affiliate marketing has been seen as repparttar 102344 "poor brother" of other popular online businesses such as online auctions, ebooks, software or membership sites.

But to someone who earns a large percentage of my online income as an affiliate, I'm constantly amazed at what a great business this is.

Here, then, are just eight of repparttar 102345 reasons why I believe affiliate marketing is repparttar 102346 *best* way to start off online; indeed why in my eyes it's repparttar 102347 Holy Grail of e-commerce.

1) No Need To Create A Product To Sell

Most people start off in e-commerce by creating their own product. However, this route can involve investing a lot of time and money.

On repparttar 102348 other hand, I have set up affiliate sites in a matter of weeks for under $100 that now greatly exceed that initial set-up cost every single month - on autopilot. So it's a quick, easy, and cost effective market to get into.

2) Create Money Out Of Thin Air

As it's possible to set up an affiliate site with a tiny sum ($50-100) and let this multiply numerous times, you can then go on and invest in bigger projects in repparttar 102349 future.

3) No Customer Service

Depending on how you set up your affiliate business it *is* possible to completely dispense with customer service enquiries.

Indeed, I am now setting up simple minisites with *no* email address and no contact details at all. This saves me a huge amount of time each day answering questions and so allows me to concentrate on building more sites for greater profits.

4) Automatic Money - And Free Time!

Using repparttar 102350 right model, you can simply set up an affiliate site and move onto your next project.

I sincerely believe that it is possible as you gain experience to launch a site per month and, since you're not selling anything yourself or answering customer's enquiries, your site can run virtually on autopilot.

An occasional check is all that is necessary and my minisites take me less than 30 minutes a month to run.

It's like automatic money each month!

More impressively, repparttar 102351 sites you built months, even years ago, continue to bring in sales meaning you're having to work less and less to achieve repparttar 102352 results you desire. You control your day - and you do what you like with it.
