There will be a million and one affiliates out there who will tell
you that the affiliate program they promote is going to be the best
one for you.

But have you considered who is really making the money and who gains
the most out of affiliate programs.

Let's take a step back and look at the AFFILIATE.

What exactly is the role of the affilate?

* The sole purpose of the affiliate is to PROMOTE the product and/or
service

What are the benefits of being an affiliate?

* Get paid a minimal commission that is regulated by the owner of
the product/service

In short, As an affiliate it is your responsibility to make someone
else rich whilst doing all the hard work. You take on the expenses
of advertising, you are the one who usually misses out on
subscribers if you haven't first made them your client before they
buy the product/service you are promoting.

And all this for what??? Maybe $20 per sale if you are really,
really lucky.

You also need to remember that when you are an affiliate, YOU are
not the only person promoting that very same product/service.

So what will make your offer any different to someone else who is
promoting the exact same product, usually using the same sales
technique, offering it at the same price.

To be in the top 5%, which is the amount of affiliates who make more
than $100.00 per month, you need to first have a really good, clean,
targeted subscribers list of more than 50,000 subscribers, know
exactly how to gain targeted traffic, and have a huge advertising
budget.

For the other 95%, the only way you are going to make alot of money
from and affiliate program is to OWN YOUR OWN.

It really isn't as hard as you might think to set up.

So in conclusion, the best AFFILIATE PROGRAM, obviously is the one
you OWN.
