Do Affiliate Sites Really Make Money?

Of course they do! Many, many people make all kinds of money with affiliate sites and affiliate programs!

The fact is, only 5% who sign up for them ever become rich, but it is NOT usually because of the program! It is because the buyer never gets past step two in a 200-step process. ALL businesses take time and effort to build. By the way, 5% is a very large number so do not think for a second that you cannot be in that group!

If you get involved in ANY business, thinking it will be simple, than the joke is on you! However, even the simplest of minds are capable of great things!

For the most part, it does not matter what program you get involved with; it is possible to create wealth from nearly all of them!

I say that because there are all kinds of people on this planet and the Internet is still growing like crazy. There will always be "newbies" and there will always be "gurus" and everything in between.

Simply put, there is almost no way NOT to make money if you possess one simple trait... perseverance. With perseverance comes knowledge... with knowledge comes power... and with power comes wealth. The point is, persevere and you will gain power over your life and every facet of it.


My best advice (especially for beginners), is… be mindful of the burnout factor and do not take on more than you can handle. Find a program that you think you can stay active with physically, mentally, and financially. Never give up and never listen to negative people! Garbage in = garbage out!

Always remember that even the gurus started out as newbies!

Learning affiliate marketing strategies and techniques is a great place to start if you want to learn how to conduct business online. There is so much that one can learn from affiliate sites and other such programs... compared to a college education or a brick-and-mortar franchise... $49 is nothing! I myself have literally spent hundreds on such programs and it has been worth every penny! However, learning from someone (a mentor) who knows the tricks of the trade can literally save you thousands of dollars and countless hours of trial and error.

Sure, it is true that there are plenty of scams out there on the Internet. But think of it this way, even if you fall for a real stinky scam, you still learn something... and that is worth something! Do not be afraid to make mistakes! That line of thinking will only hold you back.
