Our Friends Are Rich from Online Marketing

Scott,

What are your thoughts on online marketing? A friend has introduced me to what is called ‘high ticket affiliate marketing’. She and her husband have quit their 9 to 5 jobs to spend more quality time with their children while working at their own pace, and have travelled extensively. This has got me thinking — should I take a leap of faith and sign up?

Hi Gemma,

So this sounds a little like … a pyramid scheme.

Now, affiliate marketing is selling other people’s products to your customers and getting paid a commission.

And do you know what some of the most lucrative ‘high ticket’ affiliate marketing products are?

Expensive courses on ‘how to make millions doing affiliate marketing!’

My tip: buy a $30 book, not a $3,000 course, and go from there.

My view?

Trying your hand at this is a little like buying a pair of Air Jordans then sauntering up to the Chicago Bulls and saying “I hear you guys make a lot of dough doing this dribbling thing. I think I’ll give it a go.”

If you do, prepare to be dunked!
