Have you ever considered taking those skills and making them work for you instead of someone else? Have you looked into your own business enterprise only to realize the capital you need is way beyond what you can raise? If you have answered yes to any of these questions then becoming an affiliate could be the answer you are looking for.
Many of us would love to start our own businesses but two things generally stop us. The first being money and the second being risk. You need a significant amount of capital to start even a small sole proprietorship. Even though financing is available there is still the risk factor.
A fairly large percentage of small businesses fail in the first year. If you make it through that first year then there are still several challenges that have to be met. It could be five years before you see any real profit. Most of us cannot wait this long. We need a constant flow of money coming in to meet our daily obligations.
Becoming an affiliate can get you started on the road to independence with no risk to you. By becoming an affiliate you work to sell or increase the revenues of another company. This can be done in a variety of ways. You can work, selling a particular line of products. The head company takes care of the advertising and creation of the items; you simply work out how to sell them. You are paid for your performance. The more you sell the more you make.

What is Bootstrap Marketing?
Bootstrap marketing certainly isn’t one of the more traditional business models that rely on business plans, investors, and loans. This has great appeal to some, and seems like a joke to others. It is a much simpler, less complex business model that tens of thousands of marketers have used with great success.
At its very core, bootstrap marketing is starting up a business with no (or very little) upfront cash. The philosophy behind this business model relies greatly on what the entrepreneur can put into the business that doesn’t include money… things like time, work, ingenuity, ideas, resourcefulness, and creativity.
As a bootstrap marketer, you are your own boss, and your own employee. The success or failure of your venture is solely up to you (unless of course, you have partners in the venture). The ideas you come up with, and how you go about turning those ideas into a real business… it’s all up to you.
So clearly, this business model isn’t for everyone. But if you have an entrepreneurial mind and spirit, a great attitude and outlook, and the resourcefulness to get things done on the cheap, bootstrap marketing may very well be a lucrative business model that you’ll want to explore.
