My Shocking Review of affiliate marketing programs - The Big Dirty Secrets Revealed


Caveat emptor is Latin for "Let the buyer beware". More often than not, the buyer is deceived and unaware of what lurks around the corner. My research uncovered the mass deception and fraud associated with certain unscrupulous affiliate.

Secret Number 1: You should be aware of the fact that most of the writers of affiliate marketing audit have an ulterior motive. This is simply to sell crap that usually does not work, but enriches them yet. Keep in mind that a large number of them actually paid to write positive reviews, regardless of the inferior product. This is actually their business model corrupted. I bet none of them have also purchased the products you are reviewing. All that matters is their compensation. Are on the other hand, not only the products purchased, but also the elapsed time and money implementing each step imposed to the programs. Better said, I put my money where my mouth! And so far, unfortunately I was disappointed with most of the affiliate programs I purchased. However, there is no time for despair: My pain is your gain!

Secret Number 2: You should know up-front, that most affiliate marketing outsource their customer service problems of foreign countries. That in itself is not a bad thing, however, when the customer service outsourcing, is not trained properly, and there is no real control in place, then this can be very frustrating and downright disastrous! So far, my experience with the outsourced customer service was horrible! And there is almost no recourse! Now, to add insult to injury, sometimes the staff themselves are used for other outsourced affiliate products. So if you happen to be on their bad side, then you receive any services, if necessary with the new product. In fact, 90% of the affiliate products that I reviewed all outsourced their customer service, especially in the Philippines.

You want a taste of what you might expect from a particular affiliate marketing customer service department? Then do this before you buy an affiliate product, go ahead and e-mail their customer service a question. See how long it takes for an answer, and if this answers your question in detail .......
