affiliate marketing in America

December 1st, 2009 by admin

In my experience with affiliate marketing in America it seems that most of the largest super affiliates as they are called are interested in selling just a few things. 1.) Work at Home Offers. 2.) Financial Offers and 3.) Lead Generation for misc services such as car insurance.

Many of these offers are great and beneficial to those that sign up for them, but do not offer anything of durable value to America. Some can argue that with servers, routers, load balancers, firewalls, and code, is providing a new infrastructure, but since all of these things are made in Taiwan, China, and Japan. We are shifting this money to Asia who is then lending it back to us. It seems to me which is not new to many that the US wealth is being transferred to Asia and the Middle East. The problem is complex and you want the rest of the world to be lifted out of poverty as well. But is this transfer of wealth reaching the poor or just gathering power for a few.

tagsodas would like to be in the business of distributing American made products to the rest of the world. Our goal is to find unique American made products that can sold and shipped around the world. This will be tough but we can make it work and transfer some of that wealth back to the US.

One product that we have found which is unique and patent pending is a filtered water canteen. Its a canteen with a filter in it. The filter last for 100 gallons of water thats about 12 months of daily use. Amazing! The filter is made here in the US of A. To learn more about this amazing US made product click here

Interesting point.

However, I think it’s a demand side issue. If the Chinese consumed in the way Americans consumed, then America would become one of the largest exporters, and China would have lots of financial problems. If Americans stopped buying what they can’t afford, then that would help. When news reports export figures, do they report it on a per capita basis? That would be much more telling than using some artificial boundary to determine GDP

I have always held that the producers of raw materials and commodities held the most power (e.g. oil, food, wood, gold), followed by the creation of those products. Over time, as more and more product creation becomes more automated, companies with smarts, tools, and computing power (e.g. Japan) will begin to replace industries where human capital is a premium (e.g. China). Of course, much of this comes down to work ethic, education, and entrepreneur-ism so it’s hard to tell, but the US isn’t exactly ahead in 2 out 3 here.

But I digress. The US, and all 1st world countries are shifting to a service-based society, which is why we produce much more services than goods currently. In the long run, we need to sell services to China. Basically export services to China, instead of products. I guess we do export knowledge and business to China, although its strategically smarter to just export toys to them. If we could get them to consume like Americans, problem solved! Google tried to export its search engine to China (bad situation now) in exchange for clicks. It works. We need to do more.

P.S. Another thing I’ve learned is that often times marketers are good at redistributing profits from the people at the top, while improving value (savings) for the end users

Found a great Afifliate program that may be worth taking a look at.
