Affiliate Marketing | The Myth of Self-Employment.
Everyone who ever gets involve in Affiliate Marketing, dreams of being self-employed. Dreaming is fine, but the awakening can sometimes be rude or even brutal. In a major corporation there are Sales Directors, Sales Managers, and the Salesperson. The Director sets the policy, the Manager sets the targets, and the Salesperson will have to meets those targets. As an Affiliate Marketer you will have to be and do all of the above.
Even if, as an Affiliate Marketer you see yourself as “selling other peoples stuff”, you still have to set your own targets, create your own sales copy and marketing strategy, and meet them. Getting paid by the Company whose product/s you sell means that you are in the employment of that Company, even if it is in the capacity of an Independent Contractor. What make the process harder, and increases the pressure, especially for you, is that The Company is in direct competition with you. According to them they cannot solely rely on the Affiliate because most of the time the Affiliate does not work the product as hard as they should. If they can make the sale without having to pay you (the middleman), they will, and so they should, because you are busy promoting so many products to so many people, their product simply get lost or neglected in the process.
When you spread yourself and resources too thin, something is bound to fall through the cracks.
