Affiliate Marketing - Not A Real Online Business?

I recently received an email from one of the named internet marketing masters proclaiming that Internet Marketing isn't a True Online business. He continued to take the posture that if you are involved with internet affiliate marketing, you're not an authentic business person or entrepreneur simply because you are selling digital products created by other people. On his opinion, the fact that you are not the author of the product you are advertising will mean you aren't an authentic businessman. I personally take exception with his posture. If his position were valid lots of small businesses just like the local convenience store, shoe store, greeting card store, etc. would not be viewed as legitimate businesses since they do not create products they sell. In fact large stores for instance Sears and Wal-Mart would not be viewed as legitimate businesses as they do not create the items they sell.

There's only one problem which I recognize with affiliate marketing and that is the fact that many people who get involved with internet marketing aren't seasoned business professionals and don't realize the basic principle of business. That does not mean they're bad people or stupid. What it means is that they have never been properly educated in running a business. To succeed in the online marketing business as well as other business will require the person entering that business to have a clear knowledge of the business they're entering. One method to do this is to model other successful entrepreneurs who're running the same type of business they are setting up. When starting an Online Marketing business, do not rush into it, relax and be diligent. Don’t trust all of these sales letters you read where the person states that he made a lot of money immediately. Now I’m not saying they did not make a lot of money overnight but what are they not saying? They aren't saying the things they did before they made that type of income. You can bet money on the fact that these people did tons of investigation into the business of affiliate marketing and in to the market they were selling to. They did not just wake up some day and in two hours put a business together, developed a web site, uploaded it to their web server and started the money flow of thousands of dollars the next day. It just doesn't happen!

For me, Affiliate Marketing is probably the perfect businesses you can get involved with. It's a business available to anyone, regardless of what your financial situation is. You only need to be diligent previous to launching your business.
