Online Marketing - Not A Real Online Business?

Recently I received an e-mail from one of the so called affiliate marketing gurus proclaiming that Affiliate Marketing is not a Legitimate Online business. He continued to take the posture that if you are a part of internet affiliate marketing, you're not an authentic business person or entrepreneur simply because you are marketing digital products created by others. Within his opinion, the fact that you are not the creator of the products you're selling means you are not a real business person. I personally take exception with his posture. If his position were valid a large number of small businesses such as the local convenience store, shoe store, greeting card store, etc. would not be viewed as legitimate businesses because they do not create the products they sell. In fact big retailers for instance Sears and Wal-Mart may not be considered real businesses because they do not manufacture the products they offer.

There's only one problem which I recognize in affiliate marketing and that is the fact many people that get involved with internet marketing are not seasoned business professionals and don't realize the fundamental principle of business. That does not mean they're bad people or stupid. What it means is they have never been correctly coached in running a business. To succeed within the online marketing business and also other business will require the person entering that business to have a clear idea of the business they are getting into. A good way to do this is to model other successful business owners who're operating the same kind of business they are setting up. When starting an Internet Marketing business, please don't rush into it, slow down and do your homework. Don’t trust all of these sales letters you read where the person says that he made lots of money in a single day. Now I’m not saying they didn't make a lot of money overnight but what are these people not saying? They aren't telling you what they did before they made that type of income. You can bet money on the fact that these people did a lot of research into the business of online marketing and also in to the niche they were selling to. They did not simply wake up a day and in two hours put a course together, designed a web site, uploaded it to their web server and started the money flow of 1000s of dollars the next day. It just doesn't happen!

I do believe, Internet Marketing is probably the most effective businesses you can get involved with. It's a business available to absolutely everyone, no matter what your financial situation is. You just need to do your homework before launching your business.
