I've purchased some crappy ebooks over the years, but I honestly believe that you can gain some knowledge from each one of them. You can sit and read ebooks all day long, but nothing will ever happen unless you take ACTION!
Believe it or not, taking action is the most important decision you will make with Affiliate Marketing or any other business for that matter. This is the first step.
I think when most people discover that they will not get rich overnight; they shy away from doing anything which is a huge mistake. You have to put into action what you learn.
Another reason people fail is from information overload. Stop buying everything that shows up in your inbox! Pick a product, put into practice what you learn and then move on to get more education.
As an affiliate marketer, it's also a good idea to decide what types of products you want to sell and what niche you want to be in. After you've made your decision, make yourself a plan and write it down.
If your plan seems overwhelming, break it down in small task and be sure to do each one everyday. Persistance will help you achieve your goals faster.
Also, most of those ebooks you purchased probably have a step-by-step guide to help you along the way. Pull some of those ebooks out you have sitting on your hard drive and follow their instructions also. Pick just one ebook and go from there.
Affiliate marketing is a very rewarding business, but it's also a competitive one. There's a ton of money to be made in affiliate marketing, but you also need patience if you want to be successful. It will not happen overnight. You might have to put in long hours intially and it might even seem difficult at times, but in the end it will be well worth it.
A solid business foundation is built on having a plan. Don't try to perfect everything at first, just TAKE ACTION and improve things as you go. You're not trying to make a quick buck, your're building a business. Remember taking action is how the money is made in Affiliate Marketing.
