Hi Linda-

With all due respect, I'm gonna have to disagree with you just a little.

You stated, "Since you don't appear to have a website or a commercial establishment, you don't have a business -- you are a sales rep for three different businesses."

I disagree.
I, too, am a sales rep for 2 companies. However, I take it very seriously, work very hard and consider it MY business. I don't just "need leads" to sell my products to. I recruit, build teams and organizations. I enable people to work from home and start their own organizations. If I don't work and recruit, I don't make money. This is my life. I created a lucrative residual income for myself BECAUSE I treated it as a business.

If I treated my "status" as just an affiliate, I wouldn't be where I am now. I think thats what's wrong with alot of those who jump from company to company looking for the next big thing .... they didn't treat it like a business. Kind of like the "renter mentality" vs. the "home owner mentality"

I would never tell anyone, you don't have a business because "you're just an affiliate" or "just a rep". I'd say ... make it your business and teach others to do the same.

Wishing You Health and Prosperity,
Tracy Layne

LOL.... I don't even know you yet, but I think I like you. And that's not sarcasm, it's actually delight at your post.  I agree with you.. It's what you've done that makes you a business, not just an affiliate. I think we're saying the same thing, in different words.

Most people come to Adland, throw a couple of affiliate links in their sig file, and think they have a business. They don't.

A very scant few look at what they are doing, see it as a business, and work it as such (like you). Even fewer people have a website that actually presents what they do as a business. Most just have affiliate links.

In my post, I was generalizing and commenting on what I saw, because the presentation was like the many - not like the few.

Yes, it's entirely possible to make a *business* out of reselling goods, services or opportunities.  Isn't that, really, what most retails stores do? They don't manufacture what they sell.

But, unfortunately, a lot of people at Adland and similar communities don't know how to build a business... so they just have affiliate links. When the links aren't performing, they get new links. And again, and again. They don't realize that they haven't stopped long enough to figure out how to build a business.
