There are often misconceptions about what affiliate marketing actually is - here I cover exactly what it isn't as I have seen it mixed up with other online things π©βπ»
Affiliate marketing is:
π« NOT a pyramid scheme or MLM
π« NOT a quick fix or get rich quick scheme (well, not for me anyway!)
π« NOT a hassle family & friends to buy and support you


π« NOT a pyramid scheme or MLM:
If someone purchases a product from your unique link, they are emailed the digital product or posted the physical product from the company you partnered with; and that company pays you a commission for linking them with a buyer π΅
If they choose to go into affiliate marketing via a purchase from you, you don't get payment for what they might sell themselves and they are free to choose what, who and how they do it ~ they aren't restricted to one company or product ~ or to stay with the company they purchased the course from π


π« NOT a quick fix or get rich quick scheme:
For me, it's definitely not a quick fix or instant money maker ~ it's an actual path to online income and it requires actual effort and work ~ it's a business that has time & location freedom, independence and flexibility ~ you get to decide how much effort, time and who, what, when, where and how π©βπ»
It's a pathway that you create for you ~ it takes effort to set up a good foundation and to absorb the how ~ and it is a long term sustainable way to earn online (others have had huge successes quickly/instantly but I think prior experience &/or social media following already is key -> both of which I didn't have and a lot don't when starting)


π« NOT a hassle family & friends to buy and support you:
Majority of the people I know still don't know I'm doing this and those that do know don't fully understand what I'm even doing ~ one thing I was certain of was I was never going to pressure others, especially family and friends, to buy from me or have them obligated to support me π
I'm doing this for me, as a sustainable way to work online long term ~ linking those on similar paths to what's helped me is my vision ππ©βπ»π
π
For me, affiliate marketing is:
βοΈ a pathway and avenue to more time and location freedom
βοΈ a stepping stone to the online income & online business world
βοΈ a way to work (earn π°) without having to be work set hours, days or travelling to a workplace
It has so many possibilities and opportunities within it ~ I didn't even know it existed until recently π£
