Part of the reason affiliates don’t make money, is that they give up before the miracle happens!

In this age of instant gratification and immediate results, many potential success stories fall by the wayside because of the lack of persistence.

The Internet has changed quite a bit, and with the amount of affiliate marketing information that now available online, there is no reason to make the same affiliate marketing errors I made in the past.

Success requires hard work, a positive mindset, and diligence.

Almost everyone agrees that affiliate marketing is the quickest and easiest way to make money on the Internet, especially if you do not have your own website.

This does not mean that it is effortless. There are no shortcuts for persistence and hard work!
