Join in on the Success of the 2nd Wave of Affiliate Marketing
(Page 1 of 4 )
What do I mean by '2nd Wave'? ... let me explain: Can you remember the good old days when affiliate programs first came into existence in the mid to late 1990's?Everybody jumped in with two feet and put up dozens of
affiliate links on their site with no real thought to what
they were doing. We then wondered why we didn't make any
money - not any real money that is.
The same thing has happened with the launch of other new
industries in that the initial craze and hype got out of
hand but when things quietened down people thought things
through, put together business models and now succeed big
time within that industry. The good news is that we, as
affiliate marketers, can learn from these industries
through their first and second phases.
A Definition of what a First and Second Wave is
The first wave is the pioneering stage, the launch of a
new industry. There is lots of excitement and hype with
most people now knowing what they are doing. There are
many failures and very little profits during this period.
The second wave is the exciting phase. It has already
come to light within phase 1 that there is potential within
the industry. People put together long-term business plans
and even ordinary people like you and I can succeed in a
big way. Hence, wave 2 is when the real wealth is created.
