Affiliate Marketing Scams - Avoid Them Like The Plague

Affiliate marketing scams have been around for a long time. It takes a good eye to spot them.

You need to know what to watch out for and what to avoid.

The truth is that while there are some excellent quality programs out there, you still should be wary of certain things.

No Track Record

The company you found hasn’t been around for a long time. So they promise you things like,

“Get in now. This is a ground floor opportunity!”

You aren’t able to find them online for references. So what do you do? I suggest you find another company and product to promote.

It’s not worth the risk.

No Contact Information

What? You can’t contact them?

There’s no customer service support number. You can’t even find a mailing address.

(Obviously it’s one of those awful affiliate marketing scams)

So how in the world will you be taken care of? Or your customers who buy the product you promoted?

Don’t walk, RUN!

Paying A Monthly/Yearly Fee

Legitimate affiliate opportunities are free. If you do find one where there is a fee, then it’s probably one of many MLM opportunities.

While MLM itself is legitimate and you can make a good living at it, most people fail.

Back to what I was saying, I recommend being a Clickbank affiliate. They are free.

They've been around forever and are trusted by many.

While we're on the subject of free, the free 10-day Affiliate Masters Course is an absolute must-have if you're serious about making serious money!

Testimonials

Any good affiliate marketer knows that in order to have people believe you, you’ve got to have testimonials.

Heck, video is even better!

Affiliate marketing scamsters will not do this at all.

If you can see with your own eyes that the people who bought the product are sincere and truly have had success, then you are 10 times more likely to get involved.

Right?

I’ve seen dozens of websites that are just one sales page (trying to look like a website) with some fancy-shmancy gimmicky writing.

You feel almost pressured to buy and believe them. Scam Alert Central!
