The Right Structure
Let’s thing about structure for a moment. What’s everybody doing?
What most people are doing is that they are taking an affiliate link from places such as Walmart, Amazon or from affiliate networks like ClickBank, JvZoo, Warrior Plus and sending traffic there.
Obviously, there are some affiliate marketer making money that way, but most affiliate marketers don’t make any money if they do, they make very little money this way.
So you probably ought not to do the same thing that they are doing.
What you ought to do is do the same thing that companies like NerdWallet, Expedia, Airbnb, Uber, Lyft are doing.
Think about it
- Airbnb hos no properties – they recommend
- Uber has no car – they recommend
- NerdWallet – they recommend
- Expedia – they recommend
- Lyft – they recommend
They have no product of their own. They just connect the people that have the products or services with the people that want the products or services.
As a result they get a commission for it. It’s affiliate marketing.
