So for I have been learning about successful people who make money online through affiliate marketing. Those habits are the same as other successful people, but there are specific habits that seem to be special for all of us attempting to make a life online free of an office while making as much money as possible.

Habits of successful people starting a business (In General)

1) Grit

All entrepreneurs who are successful and those that aren't, but try, have the tenacity to weather all storms with a vision that supersedes reality. I've had the honor of knowing some and being part of a few. They reach to stretches of the imagination that seems to get them up earlier, stay up later, take a few more calls, and never complain. They just go as if they don't even realize the impossibility of their reality.

2) Vision

All people who are successful have a vision for their future they live day to day without even experience the achievement yet. They are rich without spending money. They walk as if their vision is complete. They talk as if there is no other reality, and it's only time that hasn't caught up.

3) Motivators

The people that I have known have a sense of motivation that others follow without understanding the destination. There are contagious when people don't understand. When they talk, even if their words don't make sense, heads shake yes and say "I want that!" They speak as if there is no other alternative direction; people follow.

For affiliate marketers, some habits I have seen that seem to enhance the three above, but are specific to an affiliate marketer are:

4) Give back and comment on others blogs (for real)

Affiliate Marketers comment all the time, they are relentless in their search to have meaningful and true connection. They help others achieve success on their blogs and in return others feel compelled to help. (not always the case, but the successful ones I have see have a sense of helpfulness others don't)

5) Always Learning about Keywords

Affiliate Marketers are consistently testing the internet for the latest trends and keywords people research.They seem to have a pulse on the world.

6) They work at it every day

Great affiliate marketers understand this key point, they put in the time to see the benefits long-term. Making money online takes time and real work. There are no freebies, but just constant and hard work.

I would love to hear what you have to say? What habits and traits do you think great affiliate marketers have?
