Treat affiliate revenue as 'gravy' - Money for nothing because it can dry up just as quickly as it floods in. Use it to re-invest and grow your own in-house revenue streams. |
Incorrect, i know plenty of people who launch paysites that take off just based on affiliates carrying it. Talking about paysites this year and last. Though i believe this depends on the niche. Because some niches are more active than others. Some niches have a dedicated amount of affiliates who are still going strong. Also depends on if you know where to go to find those affiliates of if you are confident you have a product theyll want to promote. But if youre saying there isnt' enough affiliates out there to take ahold of a product and make it a success , youre wrong.
Theres a ton of affiliates out there that still make very good money and just salivating for new products
Though i agree with saying its not what somebody should go in and depend on as a newbie because they simply wont know where to goto find these people, probably not create the stir/buzz in order to get your sites on them all, know how to create good tools or have the money/time, some people are lazy and dont end up releasing the tools consistently (or underesimate how important it is to release them consistently), etc
