The Concept of Fool’s Gold In Affiliate Marketing World

You may heard this too: “The Instant road to affiliate millions” or “how to make $1000 in on hour.” Anyone who has been in this business has probably had the pleasure of seeing or even buying these training courses. For folks who are not familiar with the ins and outs of affiliate marketing, this business looks like the dream come true for the lazy folks. Con artists keep talking about how you can make millions of dollars by reading an ebook. That’s how they sell stuff. That’s how they con folks.

Any reasonable person realizes that you can’t make a million by reading an ebook and slapping a website on the Web, hoping to make $100,000+ a month. But think about it. How many Amazon products do you have to sell to make that kind of money? Even if you own your product (selling it for $40 a pop), you are going to have to sell 25,000 copies to get to that $1m mark. Now that’s actually easier to do, but can’t be done in 2 seconds. Let me rephrase that. It can be done (folks like John Reese do it all the time), but you can’t get into this business and start making a million.

Do you believe John Reese started making millions by reading ebooks? Guys like that have been in this business for as long as some of us have been alive, and they have found the success blueprint and have mastered it. That kind of know-how is a distinct capability that can’t be duplicated in seconds.

At the end of the day, you should know what to expect before getting into this business. Affiliate marketing folks is not a lazy man’s job. There will be tough days. There will be days that you’ll be bored to death by your daily tasks. There will be days that you won’t make any money, and you still have to go at it full force. What affiliate marketing is not is a smooth ride to the millionaire country. If you set your expectations right level, you will be better prepared to deal with the surprises and headaches of this business. Is making a million with affiliate marketing possible? Yes. Can anyone do it? Absolutely not. Not everyone’s going to get there, but for those who have, life can’t be sweeter.
