Do Affiliate Sites Really Make Money? by Ben Tindall

Of course! Many, many people make all kinds of money with affiliate sites and affiliate programs!

The fact is, only 5% who sign up for them ever become rich, but it is NOT usually because of the program! It is because the ‘buyer’ never gets past step two in a 200 step process. ALL businesses take time and effort to build. By the way, 5% is a very large number so don’t think for a second that you can not be in that group!

Basically, if you get involved in ANY business thinking it will be simple, the joke is on you! However, even the simplest of minds are capable of great things!

It doesn’t really matter what program you get involved with. It is possible to create wealth from all of them!

I say that because there are all kinds of people on this planet and the Internet is still growing like crazy. There will always be ‘newbies’ and there will always be ‘gurus’ and everything in between. Simply put, there is almost no way NOT to make money if you possess one simple trait… perseverance. With perseverance comes knowledge, with knowledge comes power, and with power comes wealth.

Just don’t blow your wad in one shot. Find a program that you think you can stay active with physically, mentally, and financially. Never give up and never listen to negative people! Garbage in… garbage out!

Keep in mind, even the ‘gurus’ started out as ‘newbies’!

All in all, there is so much that can be learned from affiliate sites and other such programs. Compared to a college education or a ‘brick and mortar’ franchise - $49 is nothing! I myself have literally spent hundreds on such programs and I don’t regret a thing!

Before all the parents get mad at me… I don’t discourage college! Kids – go to college! There is more to college than book learning even though that can be very beneficial too. You can not get that unique life experience from anywhere else!

Back to the subject… relatively speaking, there really are few ‘scams’ on the internet. Even if you are gullible enough to fall for a real stinky scam – you still learned something and that in of itself is worth something! Do not be afraid to make mistakes! That will only hold you back.

Again, one of my favorite quotes:

“Those who have not achieved success, simply haven’t made enough mistakes.” - Robert Keowlasky
