I'm beginning to wonder how much money people on this forum are actually making with this AM thing.

I'm beginning to think that unless you have a substantial amount to spend on a PPC campaign, your chances of actually making it maybe slim to none.
 


Nope.. it's the real deal. I've been doing it for 2 years now and it's getting harder, but I'd still jump right in like I did then.

I've made more in the last 6 months than I did in the previous year and a half.

I agree. You should leave now. Nope. Nothing to see here.

Yeah, because PPC is the only way to market affiliate products.

But who cares? According to this article on entrepreneur.com, affiliate marketing is the absolute laziest way to make money online - who wants to be considered lazy? I'm gonna go get a 9-5 right away.
 
Everything is how you perceive it. You're not making any money, because deep within, you don't want to make money, or maybe you're refusing to accept that you want to make money.

But aside from the "what the **bleep** do we know anyways" spiel,
You must just not be a very good marketer, because coming from telemarketing/door to door sales I saw instant, infinite, and unlimited potential in AM.

Maybe its just not for you. Maybe flipping burgers is your path. Someone's gotta cook me up my late night meal. Maybe the honor is yours.

Making thousands of dollars a day is overrated. Solid point.

And 9,997 people who fail because they thought it was easy money. I'm pretty new at this and this quote from that article made my blood boil.
"3. Affiliate marketing: This may possibly be the absolute laziest way to make money because it doesn't require you to have a product, make a sale or ever have any interaction with customers."
​
Nope, just throw those links up and the money will pour in. You don't need to understand your market, what your product's customers want or cost-effective ways to reach them. Oh, and products. No inventory so you don't to understand anything about the product, right?

Affiliate marketing *looks* easy. If it really was that easy, the dork that wrote that article wouldn't be writing articles for a living.

EDIT to note that the dork who wrote it is an article marketer, complete with a link to the squeeze page site he has set up to sell his eBook or video or whatever.

So making affiliate marketing look easy is in his/her best interest.
 
Instead of wondering about how much money others are making why don't you wonder about what you've attempted to do so far to become profitable in this business and why it hasn't worked out?

So, what have you tried so far?
