advantages of becoming an affiliate

Here are the top 5  reasons on why you should become an affiliate of a program.

There are HUGE benefits to promoting affiliate programs with your own homebasedInternet business. Let’s look at 15 of the best.1. No Production Costs - The cost to develop and produce a new product is

prohibitive for almost anyone who wants to start a home-based business. With affiliate programs, production costs aren't an issue. The product has been developed and proven - all on the merchant's nickel.

2. Low Cost Set-up - Compared with building a brick and mortar store, starting a
home-based Internet business is relatively cheap. You probably already have a desk,Internet-connected computer and word-processing software, which is all the equipment you may need.

3. No Fees or Licenses - I often compare doing business as an affiliate, withdistributing a line of products in the real world. The biggest difference is that the distributor must often pay for a license to distribute products within a limitedgeographic region. Affiliate programs, on the other hand, are usually free to join, and geographic market reach is limited only by the affiliate's ability to promote his web site.

4. Sell Almost Anything - What isn't sold online? That list must be shorter than the
one describing all that IS sold online. There are thousands and thousands of affiliate
programs selling every product under the sun. That makes it easy to find products
related to your current or planned web site.

5. No Sales Experience Required - When I started my affiliate business, I had absolutely no sales experience. That wasn’t a problem, however. The companies I affiliated with provided excellent marketing material. Using their sales copy, I was able to get my first affiliate site up in less than a day.
