The latest and newest trend to hit the streets is the new Nigerian Scam Affiliate Program where affiliates can either make 20% of the money the Nigerians scam or get paid $25 per click. Affiliate marketing is taking the world by storm and every company out there is finding out how profitable it is becoming to offer some sort of affiliate program so that affiliates can also assist them in marketing.
People who have profiles on MySpace will place a link on their MySpace page and invite their network of friends to visit their page. When a visitor then clicks on this link the person with the MySpace profile has just made money. A person who has a MySpace identity and has a large network of friends could realistically replace their current income with what they make in affiliate earnings.
If you have just signed up for your first MySpace identity you could use a program like Buddypromoter to help you build up your network fast. Some affiliates of Buddypromoter are also giving away these reports to customers that teach them all the ways they can increase their network and at the same time make money using their MySpace profile. One affiliate who I have came into contact with is giving his customer a book he created called MySpaceJobKiller.
Every company out there is now getting an affiliate program like Wal-Mart, StarBuck's, Blockbuster Video, and sites like AdultFriendFinder. Companies are seeing how all these people who have sites on the WWW are making money by directing their visitors to these affiliate programs they have joined. Some people these days are making full time incomes from affiliate programs they have joined. Some affiliates are even making a lot more money than they used to make at their regular jobs.
Buddypromoter had one customer who made $11,000 their first 30 days after obtaining Buddypromoter. All this money was created by building up a large network on MySpace and then joining several affiliate programs that pay him per click, With $11,000 per month I guarantee that I would be able to give up my day job.
Nigerians who were famous for Phishing scams and Nigerian Scams are now seeing the potential of having affiliates do the recruiting for them. With sites like Ebay not wanting to educate their 100 million plus users because of the potential liability risks everybody can become a victim to one of these scams. The only people who are immune to this are people who lead a very sheltered life up in the mountains or maybe as part of some remote tribe in Africa.
Anybody who has an email address can become a victim of one of these scams that are out there. Yet companies who have customers with email addresses don't want to educate their customers because they say it increases their liability. People are losing billions of dollars every year as the result of these prevalent scams out there. The company that someday stands up and educates their customers is going to win in a very large way someday because they will become known as the company that actually cares about their customers.
