Introduction
In traditional, most people realize that ‘doing business’ means Merchants/Resellers. If you want to evaluate whether or not justify to invest on a business, you can use “Return of Investment Method (ROI)” to analysis, which means you calculate the difference between the potential profit and cost of investment. If the difference is favor, you can justify to invest on the business.
Difficulty for Starting your Own Business
Nowadays, most Merchants go into what’s called drop shipping, where you get your products from a particular supplier and get them shipped out to the consumers, so the Merchant in this case never actually receives the product. Other merchants use their homes as a warehouse, but usually this is not a good idea if you don’t want your house to get crowded with things. These are most common problem for starting business, especially for home business. Moreover, for most business beginners, it’s extremely risky to try and start your own business from scratch because statics shows that less than 20% of new businesses starter can succeed.
Benefit of Affiliate Program
Because of the difficulty of starting your own business, I will propose that joining affiliate is much better than do your business. With affiliate, you can get a guaranteed product or system that is proven to work.
You can get the leverage of using their affiliate brand, and to leverage off their advertising campaigns, their proven products and sell funnels. Affiliate can reduce the risk of failure. On the other hand, its drawback is that the initial cost of affiliate may be higher than that starting your own business.
