Well yes, it is. Maybe.

There are a lot of people who get seduced by big idea that all they have to do is sign up for an affiliate program, throw up a quick, free website and sit back on beach waiting for cash to flow.

It ain't like that.

Maybe if you have a ton of experience you can automate everything to point that you need to do very little. But that isn't road a beginner can tread.

It is said that one in twenty people who set out to make a profit online actually manage to see a return. Most disappear without trace after spending their, often vital, last cent on hosting or ebooks or programs.

But it doesn't have to be like that.

The problem is not with Internet, but with people's attitude towards it.

Two people can buy any of famous 'guru's' program on same day. One may make a $1000 a month and think sun shines from guru's every word (I cleaned that up). The other may not make a dime and retire believing he was scammed.

Both are wrong and both are right. It isn't program that works, it is operator. Some things just don't work for some people. Maybe their attitude is wrong. Maybe they try to change things. Maybe they truly believe they are following rules, but actually are bending a few. Whatever reasons, these people won't believe that problem is with them It must be program. They were scammed.

In all of my talking with people who are making money, there are three key traits that they have in common:

First, you must set up process to re-contact them after they order. This will remind them that you're still in business, ready and willing to sell to them again. Ask visitors to sign up to your free e-zine, associate program, mailing list, opt-in list, etc.
