them every day. Amazon.com is probably the best example of such
phenomenal success.

If the affiliate program is so popular and so widely available and
booming like mushroom...Why do most affiliate have a hard time making
$100 per month ? And some never see have receive a check ? It's
probably because they are not effective in their marketing campaign or doing noting at all.

But some affiliates are making big bucks. They are the one with an
income of ($100,000 and over per year). There is also a big majority
who still make a good income (around $10 000 to $75 000 a year). Of
course the vast majority of affiliate will never make that much money.
They fail miserably.

So what is wrong with them ?

THEY DON'T SET GOALS

Most people fail at anything because most people don't have a clear
vision of where they are heading. They don't take the time to learn
and experiment. They give up too easily.

creativity to attract customers. They never give up.

your affiliated merchants.
