Clicking on sponsor links and banners is what makes the money flow - Nothing of value is Free, it's how you get something that gives it value.

Example - The links and banners on this blog have the potential to make Us money, that is what keeps this blog going, thats what makes it a business. Giving You something of value or directing You to a useful resources is what gives You value. That's how it works. Someone has to make money, It can't all be free. With No money flow there is no value to being in business. "what comes around, goes around " In the business world YOU have no value to anyone unless you are making them money - until You learn this You are better off working for someone else because to them You will have value or not have a job.

Something I have witnessed over My years online is the idea that some have about using someones affiliate link. They have this notion that by using another's affiliate link they are somehow making them money. Well what the hell? isn't that what We are all after? Having read many times by many persons that they would rather cut the affiliate link off the url before they go and sign up for a program or use a link, I can't help but wonder why. Why would anyone who is in the least bit business minded be so ignorantly self centered? I see all the time in webmaster forums even where arguments and name calling start because someone may have addd a link to something useful. Anything commercial is automatically called "Spam" yet they all do it. I think the word "Spam" has been taken to far. Anyone serious with the slightest amount of business sense can tell the difference between "Spam" and just doing business. I personally have found some of the best programs and bresources through what many call "spam".  Anyone serious about creating a business of any value does NOT give anything away without some sort of return. Otherwise You would not be in business ,you'd be a "social program".  Business is business plain and simple. Someone has to make money in order for there to be money to be made. One of the first rules I learned is business with friends and family is the worst You can start out with. They know you for who you are and unless You have a impressive history as a business minded person they respect, they will never take you serious. Second people by nature hate to feel second to anyone, especially someone they know. Your success only adds to this feeling. BUT for other business persons who you do not know to feel that they would rather cut You out of the transaction than think of You making any money due to their actions shows that they should not even be in business. You do not hate Your boss and He makes more from your efforts than anyone .
