Affiliate Marketing Scams - Don't Fall For Them

If you are looking to make money online, then affiliate marketing really is a great way to do it. Unfortunately the anonymity of the internet means that it is also easy for people who are less ethical than you or I to take advantage of those that aren't as savvy as you or I. So here are a couple of ways that we can help ourselves and others steer clear of these affiliate marketing scams.

There Is No Such Thing As 'Get Rich Quick!'
If you believe that you can become rich beyond you dreams overnight, then don't wastye your time with affiliate marketing, just keep buying lottery tickets. It's far easier and you will have much the same chance of 'overnight success'.

Research Your Merchant
Run the name of your merchant, their company and their product through Google. Then try it with the word scam after their name. You will soon find out whether the deal is legit or not.

Don't Pay Anything
With genuine affiliate programs you don't have to buy the product or opt in to anything. Only give as much personal information as is required.

Check Their Site
They should have a professional, fully functional website that is free from glaringly obvious spelling and grammatical errors. It should have an affiliates area and full contact information for the merchant if the affiliate needs support.

USE YOUR GUT;
If anything seems off kilter, too good to be true, slightly dubious or ethically questionable. Then run a mile.
