Are you interested in making money in the affiliate marketing arena? There are a lot of reasons why people are excited about doing this, money, independence, prestige, saying goodbye to their j.o.b.(stands for "just over broke) once and for all, but there are probably a lot of questions that you'd like to have answered before you "jump right in", am I right? You're probably wondering things like "is affiliate marketing for real"? Is it easy to do, I mean, do I have to be super smart? Do I have to have a lot of detailed knowledge? Are people really making money? And probably about a thousand other questions too. Let's start small and get through these first few, fair enough?
#1. Is affiliate marketing for real? - Yes, affiliate marketing is for real. Many merchants online and off have seen the value of affiliate marketing and have made huge sums of money off of the efforts of their affiliates. By leveraging the efforts of affiliates, many of whom have huge mailing lists of their own, companies don't have to worry about paying as much for advertising. They simply pay out a commission and watch the sales roll in.
#2. Is it easy to do, I mean, do I have to be super smart? - Nothing worthwhile is ever "easy", however, you don't have to be a rocket scientist to be an affiliate. Start out with things that you already know a lot about and you'll soon be on the right track.
#3. See #2.
#4. Are people really making money? - Yes, although it takes a special kind of person to become what's known as a "super affiliate". Most super affiliates earn six figures annually and some earn seven figures and more. Some "mere mortals" still earn enough to ditch the day job. It depends on a lot of things like the niche you choose, your work habits, etc.
The best advice I can give you is to find someone that's doing what you want to do and start learning everything you can about them and what they do. Don't be afraid to spend a few bucks on your education either. Nothing in life is free and with the constant changes of the internet your education will never end so get used to it. Now roll up your sleeves and get to work!
