Sponsored businessinvitations to affiliate
You might often see on social platforms like Facebook or Youtube, videos with are inviting the viewer to create its own business and earn more money by working from home and being its own boss.
The risk when affiliating to a business
While the subject of such videos can make you think the publisher is thinking to give you a chance for a better life, the truth is that any publicity will always have as a target to promote and help the business that is running it and rarely to help you as a consumer. This is a hidden strategy that nobody will tell. A good publicity is the one that will make you think you really want the promoted product, but in reality this might not actually work for you. Still, it can also work for you with the proper implication.
A good example of this is the invitation seen on many websites to create your own Amazon shop or to connect to other companies that need people in selling things. Most of the times, this invitation is not even done by Amazon itself but by third party companies or associations.
People around the world do money from selling goods online, so the niche is good, but is important to know how to affiliate to the main business, not to an affiliated (intermediate) one. Affiliating to an affiliated business can mean small income and dependence on 2 business.
The reason new people might affiliate with an affiliated business is because the affiliated business is better promoting how to create an online shop, how to administrated, and how to do money from it. All this information might be harder to learn from the main business. The affiliated business might also be more convincing having more interest.
A good example is the one I saw recently with Amazon. When you see people that do not work from Amazon directly but promote the idea of creating an online shop on the Amazon platform, they must have a good reason to do that. They are probably paid for the number of new shops created thru them, or they might get a commission from sales they don’t do, which can be your sales.
Some of these promoters might not even have an online shop on Amazon, but they are planning to have passive incomes from other business shops that started with their help.
The way to affiliate to a business
If you are planning to sell goods on Amazon, go to Amazon directly and create your shop. Do your research and find out how to do it. You can watch all the tutorials these promoters do, take all the courses too. It will be a beneficial thing and will help you in taking the best decisions.
Prospect the market and find what products have the best potential to sell in big quantities. Find where to take the goods from at a small price (Alibaba, AliExpress), smallest transport costs (buy in bulk and choose to be delivered to you by sea and not by plane, because is cheaper), and what is the process of selling.
Amazon gives you space to store the goods in its warehouse and also give you courier services and delivery with Prime, so you can focus better on how to sell and how to grow online if you decide to become an affiliated business.
