Today I just pulled a variety of motivational posts out of my recent feedreader favorites. Each post features insights about different challenges many affiliates face and offers tips for how to overcome them. Pick one that you can relate to and I hope you’ll get some ideas that will help you be a more productive, successful affiliate.

Affiliates: Stop Waiting for Overnight Success – By Matt McWilliams “What this affiliate wanted to know was how to go from being a newbie to being a $100,000/month affiliate. Of course, we all want to know that, right?”

Looking For A Few Lazy Affiliates… “In my opinion, it’s probably due to a lack of confidence in being able to start or run an affiliate campaign that leads to this “vicious cycle of laziness”. The problem is that confidence doesn’t come until you start on a campaign, possibly mess up, lose a bunch of cash on your first couple of tries, before you find something that sticks. The only cure as far as I’m aware is to stop making excuses and get started.”
