Affiliate online opportunity programs are very appealing to those looking to make money while they learn Internet marketing. Affiliate programs are free to join and easy to sign up for. This makes them especially attractive to moms looking to work at home and others looking to work at home part time.

In fact, it’s so easy to set up an affiliate Internet marketing web site, that you’ll find plenty of them online promoting everything from kitchen appliances to online dating.

There’s nothing wrong with this, except illusion of making easy money with an affiliate marketing MLM network or any affiliate marketing opportunity is more myth than reality. Most affiliate web sites make very little money – if any.

Why is this?

I think it’s because it’s so easy to sign up for a bunch of affiliate programs and throw them on a web site, BEFORE you learn how to really build and promote a proper affiliate site that’s capable of producing an actual profit. So, unless there is a real effort to use target marketing and promotion, these sites usually flounder and fail to attract much attention.

The simple truth is that Internet is ultimate information super highway and most people won’t take time to stop by your little shop of affiliate wonders to look at all your affiliate links.

Aw, don’t be so disappointed.

The truth is that no one wakes up in morning and thinks to themselves “I’m going to visit that little obscure site promoting xyz products today and buy a few of those interesting products they’re advertising.”

If there were such a thing as an Internet Sheriff, you can imagine he might say something like above.

In some ways Internet is like Old West gold rush. People come online everyday searching for that elusive gold strike that will make them rich overnight and solve all their problems.

Many of these people are Desperate Online Desperados.

What’re some of characteristics of a Desperate Online Desperado?

- A desperate need for quick money (maybe for an emergency) - A desperate need to pay off bills - A desperate need for money to buy something of value - A desperate need for a change of lifestyle

Desperate Online Desperados are more of a danger to themselves than to others, but a crowd of them can create illusion that a stinker of an opportunity is a mine filled with gold.

Many Desperate Online Desperados buy into online business opportunities, pyramid schemes, MLM programs, etc. that are pure rip-offs and losers.

They don’t bother investigating or researching these opportunities before plunging in headfirst.

Some of these opportunities will be free to join, but they will always find a way to get your money.

The creators of these programs know that desperados will sign up for them hoping to get rich quick, so when program makes money pitch, many desperados will surrender their money without hesitation.

Now, maybe each individual desperado isn’t putting out that much money, but a whole bunch of desperado dollars bundled together can add up to a nice chunk of change – for people at top, that is.
