Yes, they are many IM-er's apparently trying to link up with people on Facebook so other people on your account can become their customers. People using Facebook are already hypnotised - it's so addictive - so soon they'll start advertising their material to a susceptible market, myself included (as a FB gullible).
I bought a 'secret' product by Ewen Chai and was very disappointed. Basically all he is saying is to re-market the ebook I had just brought in order to make money from IM. He also sends viral email - asking you to become a ClickBank affiliate, then put in your details before forwarding it to someone else. Then, if they buy you possibly get a commission.
It seems like just another version of Multi-Level Marketing. I expect to be claiming a refund from CB before the 8 week trail is up, if it doesn't work.
But on the other side - there are many small business, who should be wise to know that the affiliate/AdSense 'gold-rush' should be seen purely as a means of funding/ offsetting the cost of their website for their real business. Experienced IM's will hopefully use their experience to help people promote the website and their root business, so that they may sustain the business.
IM will be seen as an extended role of PR, direct marketing and publishing. It will be seen as a distinguishable role in its own right. But until then, those willing to learn the valuable, practical skill of Internet Marketing will be handsomely rewarded, just as marketers are in other areas of life, like real estate, super-markets, car sales and engineering.
Selling affiliate programs, shouldn't be seriously considered as the only pursuit of IM, unless you have plenty of time, your own server and probably have no conscious about what you sell and to whom you sell it. However, there are many markets to serve your conscious with a healthy appetite of your own interests and worthy causes requiring support and promotion. Searching out a niche is what being an outstanding IM-er is all about.
In conclusion, there are greater avenues to be explored for the growing Internet Marketer than Cut-and-Paste affiliate marketing, promised as a simplified get-rich-quick hook. However, like their primary school teaching tactics, it is still a very good place to start learning.
