Affiliate marketing tip #3: Affiliate marketing is NOT an over-night success
The tremendous global popularity of the online affiliate marketing has unavoidably created a set of quite dangerous myths and misconceptions too.
The most common and most dangerous misconception that can poison your mind, is the the over-night success. As I said, is the most common – and probably the most dangerous – lie. Usually is the very first and most efficient motivational factor used to get you hooked. So, I will say it again … The over-night success in affiliate marketing is not just a myth. It’s a lie!
The truth is much more disappointing. No doubt, affiliate marketing is a solid, legitimate opportunity to build a fair income stream, but if you want to succeed, you need to prepare yourself for the worst. The markets are literally over saturated. The competition is extremely tough. The needed skills can be easily learned for free, but – as you’ll see following me along this tutorial – there is a lot to learn. If you want to do it right, you’ll have to learn how to find a profitable niche, how to choose and use the perfect keywords, how to craft a marketing copy that sells, how to create an outstanding website and how to leverage the most efficient promotional methods to get the needed exposure for your business.
Also, you need to be devoted and persistent. You need to invest a lot of time. You must be prepared for inevitable mistakes and failures. In affiliate marketing takes time and effort to see the very first fragile results, takes more time and effort to build a fair income source, and you’ll have to work even more to create and sustain steady multiple income streams. And believe me, you will struggle quite often along that road.
If you are looking for get-rich-quick solutions forget affiliate marketing. Best case scenario: your success will be directly proportional to your efforts.

Thanks for your time Sandy
Success always comes through hard work. Many people think some people are just lucky, what they fail to see is the hard work the successful people had to put in and what they had to sacrifice. Good luck to you!
