Affiliate Marketing 101

Go out and grab yourself an affiliate program. Go to Clickbank, Commision Juction, Link Share.. it don’t matter. Pick a cool looking product, pick up an affiliate link and show it to everyone you know. Blast it any email address or list you can find and watch the customers beat a path to your door. You’ll end up with thousand dollar checks every week.. Be able to tell your boss to shove it.. Build a mansion on your favorite mountain top and retire. Jet set with the big dogs and kick back ‘cuz your worries are over.

Chances are that they you’ve heard that over and over. Truth is that making money on the internet is rather easy. Problem is that you have to learn how to do it first. The average person that is making a decent amount of money from internet marketing has been doing it for a couple years. That is the average. A couple of years learning how to setup a sales page. A couple of years learning how to work with Pay Per Click. A couple of years growing an opt-in list. So on and so forth

A couple of years of loosing money and making mistakes.

Very few shoot right of the gates and hit a home run. There is a learning curve. Several actually. A widely used and loose estimate is that 97% of people who try there hand at running an internet business give up, quit and fail. I’m not trying to scare you away, bust telling you straight up that it is hard work to get to the point where you can actually make a living off of an internet business. Most folks don’t have that sort of self discipline to do it.

There are hundreds and thousands of people that have all ready paid there dues that would be more then happy to teach you for a price. After all, this ride to fulfill your dreams of independence will cost you either time or money. No 2 ways about. You can minimize the learning curve by hiring a mentor. That actually turns out to be the turning point for most all successful marketers today.

Years ago it was a lot easier to promote affiliate products. Online marketing has changed drastically in that time. Scams, spam laws, Google keeps getting more strict, every one thinks that they are a web designer. Those that got started years ago have learned to adapt and dominate the world of affiliate marketing. If you were to try today, what worked for them last year – they would eat you alive. They all ready have there network of peers (Joint Venture Partners).

I’m not going to say that you can’t do it – but I am going to say that you can’t do it alone.
