Anything else is pretty much up for consideration. Undertaking an enterprise with either or both of those options requires significantly more risk and capital.
It's also an entirely different job. Affiliates are confined to one main focus - and that is marketing. Producers are essentialy outsourcing their marketing by implementing affiliate programs. Becomng a producer that handles money - or a website enterprise that handles money - really is a different kind of business alltogether. Thay are not only potentially marketing, but also closing the sale, creating products/services, etc.
And for some people with the right ideas and capital, you can obviously do very well. Higher risk does mean potentially higher rewards. :groovy:
