Are the Adsense ads for "Affiliates: $537 per Day - Quit Your Job With ClickBank" for real?
Now, just a darn minute - Don't go thinking you can quit your job and become an affiliate marketer overnight. I'll explain why:
* Affiliate Marketing is no picnic. There is no way of knowing which direction the market will go in the near future and for sure not the long term. Even if you managed to make $5,500 last month doesn't mean you will this month. Websites lose popularity, traffic fluctuates, and relevance changes all the time. There have been sites making $200 a day suddenly nosedive to less than $20 a day for no obvious reason. You will need a lot of hard work, persistence, patience and ingenuity to make sure your income continues to grow. After you have all your expenses paid and have $12,000 in the bank maybe you can think about quitting your day job. A steady income beats dreams and hopes every time when it comes to sleeping well at night.
* Affiliate marketing is competitive - Were talking about a business where you wont even be able to tell your friends or family what your websites are. Any competition that you bring up inadvertently could be taking away from your income, and if you are spending money to make money (PPC advertising, for example), that can really take its toll on your profits. Unlike the job landscape in your area, affiliate marketing can be done from anywhere in the world. Are you comfortable having competition from people in Thailand, Brazil, India, China, the UK, the United States, Canada, and any other internet-enabled nation? If not, stick to your day job.
* Affiliate marketing moves fast. It doesn't take long to either lose money or to make it. As soon as the traffic comes in you have to be on top of things to make any necessary corrections. You can't hang around the water cooler expecting things to change. Affiliate marketing requires you attention 24 hours a day. No weekends off either.
Having said all that, I need to fess up that I am a full time Affiliate Marketer myself I'll give you some reasons why I took up Affiliate Marketing full time:
1. Affiliate Marketing is SO Lucrative. In no other business can you make over $500 the day you start. I've seen a little eight page website with a few images make over $10,000 in profit in less than four months. Finding a way to help people do what you want them to do can provide absurd profits.
2. Affiliate Marketing changes daily. It is a new game from day to day. The challenge of trying out new things and seeing what works or doesn't means Affiliate Marketing can be an exciting business. Once you see how much sales methods and marketing techinques change on a day to day basis you may become hooked. And you could end up running away from the competition.
3. Affiliate Marketing is TONS of Fun. It is hard not to enjoy being able to get up when I want, run errands, get my hair cut, come home and set up new marketing programs, check my stats and grin at my bank account. The knowledge that I'm being paid to loaf really makes life interesting. Did I mention it is fun?
An offline job can provide a reliable and steady income. While making some money with Affiliate Marketing, just continue to use it as a supplement to your offline income until your online income grows. Someday it will come down to the point where you make more at Affiliate Marketing than your day job, but until then just keep going in to the office.

Here is an old rule! If you want to be really successful in affiliate marketing, you ought to drive traffic to your website. The more visitors to the website, the higher the probability of click through. Many affiliate guides forget to mention that it is always prudent to build traffic first and then consider affiliate marketing. There is no magic potion. If there is no traffic, there are no profits. Don’t worry, if you haven’t got hordes of visitors, even a few visitors will do initially. Once these visitors start trickling down the web drain, you can place banners and advertising in appropriate places to get the results. A good affiliate marketer doesn’t care about the number of clicks but on the average number of clicks per visitor.
Such techniques, slowly but surely brings success. And with it comes a potential for much higher rewards
