This is a bit of a rant based on some things I was reading online last night.

They say it can be done. Others say that making hundreds of dollars online, everyday, offers are all a scam.

So what’s the real deal?

I am pretty sure that you can actually pull it off and make money through affiliate marketing with no investment up front.   Heck, you can find out how to do it a lot of different places on the web, right?  But most of them are only a semi-truth because you have to buy the book to find out how it can be done, so there’s an investment, right???

How would I do it?

Mass article marketing campaigns. Submit your original, unique articles to any directory and Web 2.0 content site that will let you send traffic direct to affiliate offers through a cloaked affiliate link.  You can even find a list of the best article directories and Web 2.0 sites to submit to in an early post of mine.

I would use Clickbank products and use their link cloaking tool and get to work.

Possible???  Heck yeah. I don’t see why not.

Feasible? Not in my book but then again I have never tried it. Two caveats, you need to be a great article writer and you need to know where to submit the articles. If you are brand new to internet marketing then you are probably going to buy a few ebooks to learn how to pull this off. Bam! There goes your idea of no investment, right?  You had to buy the book!

I have done it with very small investments up front and you could easily do it with little to no money up front.

How???

Well, to do it with no money up front, sell your own stuff or someone else’s “junk” on eBay!

Look, you don’t pay eBay up front. They bill you for your eBay fees in 30 days.

If you don’t have anything of your own to sell, sell something for someone else. OR, see if you a few people have some items that they want to get rid and see if they will give them to you to sell on eBay.

Tell them that if the product sells, you’ll give them a few bucks.

Now just get out there and sell something, will ya!
