5 Star Affiliate Blogs

Why do a large majority of affiliates quit after 1 month with 0 income? Mainly because there are so many crappy ebooks saying it’s so fast and easy to make money online. And partly because we live in an instant gratification society. Affiliate Marketing is a business and you need to work it like one to succeed.

Ok so out of all the affiliates that work it and TRY, why do 80% make a measly living and only about 2% make the big bucks?

Amit Mehta has some STRONG insight about “Why 2% of Affiliates Rake in 95% of the Profits“. I just love Amit’s writing, his heart-felt honest advice and his attitude. And his blog, SuperAffiliateMindset is one of my favorites.

Amit understands why “2% of affiliates – the super affiliates – clean up while the remaining 98% are fighting for the table scraps” because he is in that top 2% and is making a ton of money. The thing I really love about Amit is he’s willing to share how he got there, without trying to sell you some crappy ebook and bragging about what a guru he is. So if you want to make more money, this is a must-read! He’s started a great series and here are links and snippets from the 1st 2 articles.

Sorry, there’s no conspiracy!

I started out just like everyone else. Actually, I take that back, I didn’t start like everyone else, I started a notch below. When I started this business I didn’t know how to make a simple html page that says: “Hello world!”

“Well let me give you a tip, affiliate marketing is one of the easiest businesses out there. Easy because it’s virtually zero risk, something almost anyone can learn, and the rewards of success are enormous-just being moderately successful is enough for most people to quit their jobs.

Affiliate marketing is already a short cut to business success, and if this short cut is too much work or too large a commitment for you, then PLEASE stay at your stay job and forget about trying to start any business.”
