No, affiliate marketing is not a pyramid scheme.
However, with all the hype and hoopla surrounding affiliate marketing, I do understand why so many people think that it is.
To clear things up a bit, let’s start by defining what a pyramid scheme actually is.
A pyramid scheme is a fraudulent business model that promises participants payment or services, primarily for enrolling others into the scheme rather than supplying any real investment or sale of products or services to the public.
In a pyramid scheme, initial investors recruit new members, who in turn recruit more members, creating multiple levels of participants.
The scheme collapses when it becomes impossible to recruit enough new members to sustain the payment structure, leaving the majority of participants at the bottom levels with major financial losses.
This is why in most countries, pyramid schemes are illegal and can result in serious jail time.
Affiliate marketing on the other hand is a legitimate business model where individuals or companies earn commissions by promoting products or services of other companies.
Affiliates can earn a commission for each sale, lead, or action generated through their marketing efforts.
Unlike pyramid schemes, affiliate marketing focuses on promoting genuine products or services to a target audience, and commissions are earned based on actual sales or actions, not solely on recruiting others into the program.
In my opinion, affiliate marketing is the best online business to start. Especially if you are a beginner.
This is because with affiliate marketing you don’t have to create your own product, invest in inventory, or deal with customer service.
Your only job is to build an audience, and promote products to that audience.
