Every internet businesses need sales if they expect to survive. If you purchase traffic and drive it to a website such as an affiliate website, you will always be purchasing traffic to make sales. This can become very expensive over a period of time.

Some of these people make over a dollar per month from every subscriber they have at their list. Imagine how much money you can make if you have tens or even hundreds of thousands people signed up to your mailing list.
