6 Reasons Why You Should Become An Affiliate Marketer

May 23, 2021October 30, 2022 by April Dowling

Getting involved with internet marketing definitely has its pros and cons. It’s definitely not for everybody. I love the simplicity of affiliate marketing and earning passive and sometimes even recurring monthly income. While no business model is perfect, I’m going to share with you 6 reasons you need an affiliate marketing business. These are based on my own opinion.

Reason #1: Save money on taxes and keep more money you make

This is the #1 reason to have an affiliate business. The tax laws in the USA are designed for entrepreneurs, not employees. When you have your own home-based business, you get to deduct expenses and then pay taxes on your profits, whereas as an employee you do not get those same deductions. Many of the “deductions” you get are expenses you already had prior to starting your business like internet service and your cell phone bill.

Reason #2: Flexibility

With your online affiliate business, you can work when you want to. You can create a flexible work schedule around your regular job, family, and other commitments. You can work in the mornings, in the afternoon or even late at night. I personally work on my blog any spare moment I get between playing with my daughter and working my virtual assistant business.

Reason #3: Learn new skills

As a home-based business owner, you will inevitably learn new skills such as marketing and sales. Who knows, you might even discover you are skilled at different things you never even imagined? Growth is inevitable if you are serious about your online business. At first you may not understand how to set up a blog, create content, or grow your email list, but you’ll learn as time goes on.

Reason #4: Practically zero risk

Most affiliate programs costs NOTHING to join. To set up a blog with hosting and a domain name typically costs less than $100. The email marketing software I use costs $27 per month and also has a free version. As you can see, compared to a traditional business and even some online businesses, the risk is super low with affiliate marketing.

Reason #5: Less stress

The average employee is worried about their job security. The average business owner is worried about how they are going to pay their monthly overhead. With a home-based affiliate marketing business, you don’t have those things to stress about. There are no pressure and very little limitations on how/where you operate your business.

Reason #6: Earn passive income

As an affiliate marketer, you can earn affiliate commissions on autopilot, simply by writing a blog post or creating a video ONE TIME that links to your recommended product or service! This is true passive income as you get paid continuously on an action you took once. Some affiliate programs pay recurring commissions that allow you to earn passive income every month from your referrals’ subscriptions for life! These are usually software affiliate programs.

Conclusion

There are many reasons that affiliate marketing is a great choice for people who are seeking a low-risk, low-investment home-based business. Personally, I have a virtual assistant business and an affiliate marketing business (this blog). However, I am not earning passive income from my VA business. If I take time off, get ill, or can’t work for whatever reason, I don’t make money. which is why I also do affiliate marketing.
