The history of affiliate business was started from …….
There was BARTER. You have a product I need and I have a product you need, so we could barter or I give mine and you give yours. No money taking place.
Then….
Money was used to make life easier.
Then after social living turned mankind into smarter and smarter beings, so people start became Middle Man/Woman. In Indonesian we call it calo read chullow or in Dutch: makelaar or in plain English: middle man.
But, people were preferred to be called as a trader to gain profit rather than a middle person to get commission.
Today, we call it Affiliate.
And for an affiliate, having own product is not a compulsory.
Why?
Because we can find a good brand with a good product then we can be the owner’s affiliate or sort of partner.
Now, if people asking me why I do not want to have a business like my boss?
Well, so far I have been working for him since early 1990 living the mobile ways: helping him to take care of his retail business, being the main musical instruments and pro audio and education and computer music business in Indonesia.
Given the right as the sole distributor for some world top brands, can you imagine: the cash flow, the logistic, the competition inside and outside? So, that’s why I would rather preparing my retirement the laptop style living and the proper way.
How many times do you get offers with promises such as: self running, free traffic, auto this and auto that, etc?
Phew, have you ever got scammed? Well, I had several times – hahahah. But, that made me learn and study the whole nature of any business.
I have been training people for various purposes: selling, marketing, purchasing, logistics, demo clinic, R&D, it at the office, music technology for education, coopetition, dealership, etc and there are still things to be done and can not all be automated even with machines running 24/7. There has to be someone on guard.
Now, even if we buy the whole upsell programs – apparently it is not guaranteed that we will be success and counted as the very few top affiliate. By the way, I have been buying quite a lot of products and got kind of scammed pretty many of those – yet, I learn from the Japanese – no refund. Yup, especially after trying to get a refund and not successful. Like the Japanese, I count it as my fault and part of my learning – and if in contrary, my commission got deducted back because of refund requested. Then, it is a lesson which product owners can be good or bad.
Well, actually it is just like ordinary offline business.
So, here I am motivating you also to become an affiliate even starting by either or both: buying the products or services I have bought and then I requested to be an affiliate or making your own products and sell them. So far, I have been donating the music styles for some musical instruments to people – and even quite a few of them put as built into the musical instruments since 1990 by my office. But, I have some concept products on the way to be shared through will be my Patreon as suggested by some mentors and friends.
