I have developed a turnkey solution (software that builds your whole site, all you need to do is operate/market it). The type of site that it helps people build is one that monetizes from incentivizable affiliate campaigns. Now since a lot of new comers don’t know of all the best affiliate networks right when they start, I also have a complete referral system in place that points them to diffirent networks I previously worked with and which I know for good payouts, on-time, etc. Now as you might know, those networks give you a lifetime percentage commission on your downline’s total income, so the more my customers make money using that software, the bigger my pay checks become.

Hoping this explains is better.

For us young dogs, could you amplify a little?

You have a great business model, love your stuff.

Can’t wait for the new site you’re working on for me, it’s going to rock

The best combination working for me right now is the following:

Turnkey solution that I own and sell which requires you to have affiliate accounts. 80% of all new customers don’t have any affiliate account, yet. Refer them and help them make money with the system, cash on commissions while building a huge list - what could I ask for more?

Thanks for your strong support

It can’t get much better than playing both sides…

The reason why some people sell their own products is to recruit affiliates to help them build a bigger list faster so that they can offer more affiliate products!

That’s playing both sides of the game…..

Ever since I started selling my own products, affiliates sales went up. Oh this reminds me! Gotta set up my affiliate program soon. Thanks.

Both models have merit. #6 isn’t for everyone but it is useful in more situations than one…

I decided some time ago, that being an Affiliate was FAR superior, to being a product Owner.

However, after reading your excellent article here, I’m gonna have to take a moment (when & if I ever *get* a moment [laugh]), to re-evaluate that decision…

Oh, and by the way… I consider Owner point #6 - to be a DIS-advantage!

Thanks for your comment.
