From the comments on the Passive Income Streams: Affiliate Revenue Post:

marketing Says: Some people have told me that when recommend a product with an affiliate link, it takes something from the recommendation. It’s like you are recommending it to earn money, instead of recommending it to benefit the recommendee. Thoughts?

Biana Babinsky Says: Yes, I have heard this argument. I think if you have used the product, and can recommend it, you can use your affiliate link to do so. After all, you are putting yourself/your business on the line, when you recommend something.

If it still bothers you, you can always offer a regular link to your product, as well as the affiliate link. I have seen this done on a few lists, and it seems to work well. Then it is up to the person asking for the recommendation which link to use.

What do YOU think?
