This is a rather important question!

by Max Merrill Jack of All Trades
I'm curious.  How is it that anyone here can make money with their affiliate programs here.  Considering the fact that people here are pretty much just advertising to each other.....

Also, How do people expect to sell products and all on this site, if the people here aren't looking to buy?  People mainly come here to sell their products I would imagine, rather then buying other peoples products. 

I can see yes, that not everyone has the same program.  I also understand that people are making money from APSense itself.  But, why would we even advertise our programs, if we aren't really going to sell to a network full of sellers....

Yes, I understand that people here also post topics and discussion on how to market your products, ideas, affiliates, ect....

It just seems to be more work then necessary.  It's great to be able to get more referrals to your programs and everything yes.  But, what's the point if everyone is just going to keep referring each other rather then implementing their ads into their own pages anyways?
I understand that the site is still very very young.  It's going to take time for the network to build.  But, people are so afraid of change.  They don't want to try new programs, because of previous losses. 

I mean, I could be wrong.  But still, it gets harder and harder every year to make money online with so many scams and frauds going around now.  It's hard to tell who you can and can not trust.  It really is a shame that so many people are out to get one another.

I myself have numerous sites that generate income, and a fair amount I might add.  But, no one wants to hear how I did it, or what I'm doing to generate traffic to the sites.  Everyone is more worried about where they're going to get their next referral.

If anyone else has input on this subject, please do post.

Max,
You make some good points, but for the past too many years, I have used advertising to bring in "prospects" who are sorted and followed up with to DEVELOP A REALTIONSHIPs.

People buy from People , not Companies or Adverisements.
I have been doing business with some people for over 4 Decades..
Yes I met them through advertising, but we developed relationships.

Apsense and the other Social/Busines networks are offering large numbers of people access to Like Minded individuals.

How they manage Those relationships is the Key to Success.
Let's share ideas.

Yes I agree with Max in a sense, we seem to advertise to each other over and over, but I guess this is one way to create a network and also get recognised over a period of time. How else then would any one build trust with so many people we have never met? We need to get to know each other somehow and this is a good way to do so. Sharing ideas is another way we can help each other succeed.

Max, you make some good points, and it does sometimes seem as though
we are all just advertising to each other.

I haven't been very active in Apsense until recently, but have been enjoying
reading the blogs, and articles, and learning.

By using Apsense, and interacting with other network marketers, we are
actually branding ourselves online, and becoming known. The more we
are known, the more we may become trusted.

It doesn't really matter if I make sales here or not, I'm branding myself, and
having a lot of fun in the process, also learning how to write blogs and articles,
which must be a good thing! :-)

The 'few' dollars I make with the affiliates are nice! But oh man...if this is what you are waiting on to get it on.....well...MOVE ON. Do you really, REALLY think that your life will be handed on a silver platter on FREE? Really......this is just what really gripes my ass on it all! Yeah...free will work......well, except for the LONG HOURS OR YEARS THEY PUT YOU THROUGH to get a big whopping check of $2.50
God rest your soul on that one! I will be on a rampage! So, don't fall in to the trap of FREE! It will be free to you, but making millions to others! ? Have we not learned yet!?!

Okay First of all I hate the way all these crappy irrelevant ads keep popping up while I am trying to read this post. I hope my post dont turn out that way.

I think I am leaning towards using apsense groups, blogs and abc's as a way of pulling in people whom are interested in your ideas, to market to them and help them be successful in your programs. I thought this was the whole idea of Apsense. It is a great means of communication.

It has crossed over somewhat though and people are trying to market to each others referrals and it presents too many choices.

It is like going to the super market to get oranges only to find out that there is 22 diferent kinds of oranges to choice from. Either you are going to examine all of the oranges and make a choice, or get discouraged and walk away because all you wanted was a darn orange.

I'm new here and haven't spent much time, but am slowly learning my way around. I was wondering the same thing. It seems like everybody thinks their programs are the best. Maybe, we can all learn new things from each other.
