1. @typeaparent #typeaWDW MISSY WARD CO-FOUNDER & PRESIDENT, AFFILIATE SUMMIT @MISSYWARD DEBBIE BOOKSTABER PRESIDENT, ELEMENT ASSOCIATES @BUZZMOMMY AFFILIATE MARKETING BUSINESS MODELS @MISSYWARD @BUZZMOMMY

2. @typeaparent #typeaWDW CPM, CPC or sponsorship advertising can be difficult to generate the big bucks [Need large amount of traffic, page views and a lucrative demographic] Creating and selling physical product requires resources [creation of a product that people want to buy, capital, stock, storage, distribution, etc.] Unlike paid sponsorships, affiliate marketing is the gift that keeps on giving – passive income that can earn $ for years to come. You pick what you want to market. No waiting for PR companies to contact you about products/services you may have zero passion about. WHY USE AN AFFILIATE BASED BUSINESS MODEL? @MISSYWARD @BUZZMOMMY

3. WHAT TYPES OF SITES ARE GOOD FOR AFFILIATE BUSINESS MODELS? Blogs [authors with authoritative, trusted voices] Endorsements Product/Service Reviews Tutorials Endorsements Within your regular content Storefronts Sell your own product/service through affiliates Community and Curated Content Sites Think sites like Pinterest, Tumblr, Buzzfeed, 22 Words, Charmin’s Sit or Squat, Huffington Post Easy way to always have fresh content, difficult to get traffic traction. So simple to monetize with automated affiliate tools like Viglink and Skimlinks @MISSYWARD @BUZZMOMMY
