You make a good point. You don't have to choose affiliate marketing. That just happens to be what a lot of people choose (particularly SBIers). Even though SBI! does have advice on other types of sites (there are other successful,
non affiliate marketing SBI! sites - jugglenow.com is an example), but affiliate marketing is their main focus.
Nevertheless, I do think people should spend time learning the many ways you can make money. I think some people get tunnel vision and think the only way to make money online is through google ads and affiliate marketing but you can do dropshipping, write for elance.com, sell things on eBay, you name it. Definitely good advice, ithinkican.
I remember reading a story of a guy who failed miserably at affiliate marketing. He tried it for 2 years but couldn't get anything going. Then he tried PPC and made a killing in just a few short months because he was very good at creating squeeze/sales pages and quickly closing the deal. Even though PPC may involve affiliate marketing, it's a much different approach than how I make money as an affiliate.
Spend time learning about the ways to make money online and choose the avenue that best fits your skills.
