What is the difference between selling products from a mall store and selling on a website as an affiliate business program ?

You have this great idea. This burning desire to have your own boutique where you can have visitors come to your store and see what wonderful products you have purchased for them. They come back time after time to buy. You make tons of dollars, lie on the beach and watch the money roll in. If only life in business were that easy.Take a look at the costs. Before you open for the day you must pay the landlord for rent, parking lot cleaning and repairs, taxes, phone, lights, heat, credit card machines, cash register rental, and on it goes. Now then you open the door and you look at your beautiful inventory. Where did it come from? Oh yes, the bank loan you took out to pay for it. On top of that is the shipping to you, the bags and boxes and office supplies and displays you needed. Who will pay the salaries for the staff you hired. Now you must face the fact that the everyday world expects you to be open from 9am to 5pm or worse yet 9am to 9pm 6 or 7 days per week. Remember your friend who started to build a website about her cat. She is now making a living sitting at her computer at home while you are at work. She has become a cat guru with 150 great content rich pages on her site. Her affiliate marketing program has cost her almost nothing. No store costs. She works from the comfort of home where she already has a computer set up with the word processor ready to go. No inventory. The companies carry it. She can even sell ranges and furniture from her one bedroom apartment. No fees or licenses. You are not a distributor. No kit or territory fees. The world wide web means everywhere. No sales experience. The company provides the staff. They also provide all of the sales material and links to get you up and running quickly. She works on her website when she feels like it. The site works 24/7 no matter where your friend may be. The website does not need constant attention. Tweak it once in awhile and it will live on and on. Without question, affiliate internet marketing will be your best business choice.
