subject: Affiliate Marketing 2.0: Another Online Hype? [print this page] By now, you probably have been bombarded with countless e-mail by big names in internet marketing, promoting the latest course of making money with affiliate marketing: Affiliate Marketing 2.0. If you had watched the first video sent just last week, you could have guessed what to come.
The concept of 2.0 could be traced back a few years ago where the current concept of web at that time was undergoing dramatic change. What used to work was no longer effective, and people seem to adopt a new concept of the web called Web 2.0.
Since then everything want to be labeled as such. It could probably mean for marketing gimmick more than the true concept.
And Affiliate Marketing 2.0 comes along.
Maybe the presence is a bit late because the web is moving into its 3.0 version.
A closer look at the people behind this concept reveals something valuable. Mike Filasaime, the person responsible to bring forward the infamous Butterfly Marketing', The 7 Figure Code', Paydotcom' and Prosender', is the engine that drives it while Chris Farrell has been carving his own niche online.
The combine power of these two is something to reckon with but putting a new face on an old concept; would that really help?
For some of us who have really done affiliate marketing would know that there is so much evolution you can bring on the table for affiliate marketing.
The most important thing, not only for affiliate marketing but online business in general, is to have a targeted market, a high converting product offer, and a fail safe system to automate the whole process. What ever innovation that comes in will revolve around making these aspects more effective.
If you have yet to make a single dime online, this is probably something worth to take a look at, depending on how much the price tag is going to be. If you had to pay more than a free e-book, auto-responder fee and a few dollars for getting your article written by a freelance, then it probably not worth it.
There is hardly anything value added which could be seen coming. But that is just me.
