Most people cannot accept that making money with affiliate programs is this simple. I have found that most affiliate marketers who do not earn an income online either a) do not want to do actual work or b) have developed a mythological mindset from reading affiliate program advertisements--and can only think in terms of making money on Internet through magic, rather than results-oriented action.

In closing, I will summarize and then dispel all of popular Internet affiliate marketing myths, so you can skip learning curve and start building your empire today:

Myth #1: There is an affiliate program out there that will do all of work for you and make you rich without requiring effort on your part.

Truth: You have a much better chance of earning an income on Internet if you work on affiliate program you are in currently in (as long as it is a legitimate opportunity) than if you search entire Internet for a better opportunity. There is definitely a lot to be said for having a responsive, successful upline, but ultimately, your success will depend on your actions. You can sell anything on Internet; you just have to spend enough time in building and learning process.

Myth #2: You must spend an exorbitant amount of money on advertising to make money on Internet.

Truth: Every single successful Internet marketer puts heavy testing, good design, and reliable follow-up over heavy spending. They minimize costs and they make sure what they are actually spending produces empirically-acceptable results.

If you ignore this you will fail. A lot of real life corporations spend thousands of dollars monthly on PPC campaigns and end up making no money at all because they don't start small and test their results. They just throw money at problem and hope for sales. You don't have thousands of dollars to throw away, so don't do this.

Myth #3: You will succeed or fail on Internet or on any Internet money-making venture within month.

Truth: Most Internet marketers have spent time building an enormous empire with big mailing lists and regular website visitors. They worked to become successful. You must also.

If you want to find an affiliate program that makes you rich instantly without putting in any work, then continue spending money. Send me an email when you find it because I have personally looked at hundreds--and while some are better than others--none offer success without action.

The Internet is riddled with mythology. If you want to succeed, you must reject this mythology and look for clear, work-for-results solutions. You must create plans and put them into action immediately. You must build and cultivate a base of subscribers and visitors. And above all, you must accept that you can only achieve profit through sweat, not luck.

Order Phone Number Another traffic leak is toll free (or regular) phone number they put on their site to let customers call in their orders. But when customers do call in their orders you get stiffed on commission. It is very easy to set up phone commission tracking. You should ask merchant if they have any plans on setting up phone sale tracking. If they don't know how you can send them to me to show them how to do it.

Basically, you do not want anything on merchants site that will drive your referred customer away to another site that you will not get a commission from.
