Affiliate marketing vs get paid to programs

By: pinuckle

If you have gone through this GPT (get paid to) stuff then chances are high you have come across term affiliate . Just to make things clear I am putting down few differences and similarity between GPT and affiliate marketing . For those who don’t know what s this affiliate marketing is ? Here is little explanation - Affiliate marketing in laymen words means selling someone product online and getting commission in return , you maybe start comparing it with offline world businesses .Yes it is same but things work differently online .Ok now lets discus differences between GPT and affiliate marketing .

1.Both of them need initial work after sometime your workload decreases gradually for example in case of GPT you may want more referrals to increase your online stream of money similar in case of affiliate you have to work on SEO and other stuff to get your website in limelight.

2.In case of GPT your returns are mostly in thousands( I earn around 4000-5000$ per month from GPT ) or at least 100-500$ if you didn’t work consistently. In case of affiliate marketing the returns can be huge or 0$ depending upon how you work.( Why I said how you work instead of how much time you work. )

3.In case of GPT the investment is zero dollar . But in case of Affiliate marketing first of all investment is quite necessary ,otherwise I doubt you will hardy make any sale .Investment can range from few hundreds to thousands depending upon the product you are promoting and other stuff.

4.In GPT even if you are completely new to this stuff you can just go through beginners section and start earning almost instantly but in case of affiliate things are not so easy you will not start earning instantly , it takes time for getting money from affiliate marketing ( you have to completely understand the marketing to convert your ads into sales).

5.In GPT you can’t loose money for example even if a program turns out to be spam there is no loss of money but in case of affiliate marketing you can loose money for example investment in advertisement that doesn’t bring any sale.

6.In GPT basically the skills required are a little bit of internet knowledge but in case of affiliate you have to be good at several things like Seo , adsense, banner ads etc

7.There is no competition in case of GPT even if you don’t get referrals you can still make money but in case of affiliate marketing get ready to face some serious
competition , affiliate struggling for same keyword , promoting same product etc .

8.GPT basically require the work of less than 1 hour daily but in case of affiliate marketing your time investment will judge how much you get .
