Question
I've seen advertisements for making money as a marketing affiliate.Is this another scam or can this be an actuality.

Answer
I too have seen these offers and some are legit, cookie cutter “franchise” TYPE marketing agencies. You pay an up front fee + a percentage of income and some without the percentage but what they have done is package who you are and what you will be. There is lack of personal branding so therefore lack of differentiation.

Their argument being that with their already canned marketing program you will get into more doors. I believe that this service has legs for people that don't know how to market themselves or need the cache of looking bigger than they currently are.

Otherwise I would need more information as to which deal you have seen and the details.

Hope that this is helpful. As for my advise - make you own way!
