My answer to that is; absolutely yes. Before I go any further, let me explain what affiliate marketing is for those who don't know.

To put it simply, earning commissions by promoting other people’s products and/or services is affiliate marketing in a nut shell.

It can be done online, offline, or a combination of both. It's hugely popular and for very good reason.

It's very profitable for both the owner/inventor/proprietor of the goods and/or services, and also for the affiliate

who's promoting them.

If you think there's no money in it, then you either go through your life wearing blinders or you've been scammed too many times.

Just think for a minute about the potential here. The internet is a global market. The entire world is buying and selling and exchanging

information and pictures of their cats, and kids, and vacations with their in-laws. You could build an online empire if you wanted to,

and that would be great if you did. But what's even better is that you can build an empire and not be greedy or cut throat about it.

You don't have to cheat anybody out of anything, that's how huge a market there is. There's room for everyone.

"But how do I tap into this?", you ask. If you think I'm going to tell you how laughably easy it is, think again. Don't get me wrong, you don't

need to be a genius to do it. You don't even have to be healthy to do it, but what you do need is information and a little bit of ambition.

There's information scattered all over the net about affiliate marketing and how to start an online business etc. etc.. The problem is that some of it is

just too confusing for the beginner, and some of it is just total garbage. I know when I was first starting out, I would read articles and websites,

and ecourses, and such and usually I wound up coming away with more questions than when I started.

I'm not trying to suggest that any of those authors who were sharing information were being deceitful. I just think that many don't really know

how to talk to a beginner. When someone knows a lot about a particular subject, whatever it may be, and that same person is trying to teach it to

someone else, it's common for the teacher to leave out small but very pertinent tips. It's not done deliberately. It's just that some things come so

naturally to an experienced person that very often the information doesn't get shared. Another problem that I've had is finding all the information

I need in one place. Usually I'm asked to buy something or sign up for this or that and read this course and that email etc., when what I'm really

looking for are simple easy to follow steps about actually starting a home business. Does this sound familiar to you?

If you're like me, and you just want something simple to get you started then PhatProfits.com can help you.

Frustrated with conflicting and confusing information about affiliate marketing and starting a home

business, the author has created a website that is geared for the home business or affiliate marketing newbie.
