Are the Adsense ads for "Affiliates: $537 per Day - Quit Your Job With ClickBank" for real?
Wait a minute - I hope you aren't thinking you could go quit your day job so you can be an affiliate marketer. If so, here is why I recommend that you don't:
* Affiliate Marketing is no picnic. There is no way of knowing which direction the market will go in the near future and for sure not the long term. Even if you managed to make $5,500 last month doesn't mean you will this month. Websites lose popularity, traffic fluctuates, and relevance changes all the time. There have been sites making $200 a day suddenly nosedive to less than $20 a day for no obvious reason. You will need a lot of hard work, persistence, patience and ingenuity to make sure your income continues to grow. After you have all your expenses paid and have $12,000 in the bank maybe you can think about quitting your day job. A steady income beats dreams and hopes every time when it comes to sleeping well at night.
* Competition is the name of the game with Affiliate Marketing. You won't even be able to tell your friends or family the name of your websites for fear of competition. Competition that will take away from your income, and when you are spending money to make money it will really cut into your profits. Affiliate Marketing can be done from anywhere there is an internet connection. Your competition will come from the other side of the world or the opposite hemisphere wherever the internet is available. Are you happy with this competition? If not, don't quit your day job.
* Affiliate marketing moves fast. It doesn't take long to either lose money or to make it. As soon as the traffic comes in you have to be on top of things to make any necessary corrections. You can't hang around the water cooler expecting things to change. Affiliate marketing requires you attention 24 hours a day. No weekends off either.
Having said all that, I need to fess up that I am a full time Affiliate Marketer myself I'll give you some reasons why I took up Affiliate Marketing full time:
1. Affiliate Marketing is SO Lucrative. In no other business can you make over $500 the day you start. I've seen a little eight page website with a few images make over $10,000 in profit in less than four months. Finding a way to help people do what you want them to do can provide absurd profits.
2. Affiliate Marketing changes daily. It is a new game from day to day. The challenge of trying out new things and seeing what works or doesn't means Affiliate Marketing can be an exciting business. Once you see how much sales methods and marketing techinques change on a day to day basis you may become hooked. And you could end up running away from the competition.
3. Affiliate marketing is fun - I really enjoy what I do. I wake up, go to the gym, set up a few websites, and then check my affiliate stats. Knowing that Im being paid to work out at the gym really makes my day :)
The reality is that an offline job is a reliable, steady income. If you are making some money as an affiliate, why not continue to supplement your offline income and grow your online income? Until it comes down to the day where youre making $8,000 or more a month online, stick to your day job.
