Is Affiliate Marketing Dead?

Is affiliate marketing dead? Some folks in the online world would say it is because

of the way Google has begun to go after the "bad people" within the industry by slapping them and their campaigns but this to me is a really good thing and a strong indicator of a bright future because... It clears the way for those who are trying to make an honest living on the internet with affiliate marketing programs. So do I personally think affiliate marketing is dead? Nope. Far from it, in fact I think affiliate marketing will thrive in the coming years and I am going to give you 7 very good reasons why I think affiliate marketing is not dead but very much alive and kicking. #1 - The World Economy. My number one reason is the present state of the world's economy. The economy has taken a huge dump not just in the United States but all over the world. And whenever people become unemployed at the same time as the job market shrinks and people need to earn honest money they begin to look at alternative sources of income. #2 - The Need for Money. When money is tight people begin looking to take on an extra part-time job but when jobs are scarce what do they do? Smart people turn to the much better alternative of launching their own income stream from home. #3 - The Home Business Boom. Even before the economy took it's major dump the home business boom was having a hayday and is rapidly becoming more popular. Smart people realize they can learn to earn more income from their own home business than they ever will working for a weekly check. #4 - Start Up Can Be Free. If those people, who launch a new home business do so by using affiliate marketing programs it usually will cost nothing to start as long as they already have a computer and internet connection. #5 - Ongoing Marketing Can Be Free. If they learn free marketing techniques, driving targeted traffic to their free affiliate marketing sites will also be free. #6 - Tax Breaks Pay for Any Small Start-up Investment. If there is a small recurring monthly investment for something useful like quality affiliate marketing training that will be offset by the tax saving the new home business owner can reap on his or her taxes. They can write off the training investment along with their monthly ISP bill and depreciate any equipment such as their computer. Of course a person should check with their CPA or other qualified home business tax advisor but what I say is most likely true for any resident of the U.S. reading this article. #7 - It's the Perfect Solution For Work at Home Moms. Any mom who is looking to earn extra money yet be able to stay at home with her children can help but see the advantages of starting an affiliate business. Most affiliate programs are free, free to promote (if you know how) and can be very lucrative. It's the perfect solution for moms, on a tight budget, who want to start their own income generating Internet business and work at home. As you can probably now understand affiliate marketing offers those who want to make money on the internet an outstanding opportunity to do just that, do it for free and reap tax benefits for services they already have but can not write off without some form of legitimate home business. Is affiliate marketing dead? I hardly think so - it's not even close to dying. In fact, it is my humble opinion that you and I will have many, many years of sweet success and prosperity.
