Affiliate Odyssey

I’ve been doing lot of soul searching lately and I’ve come to realise that I prefer to blog about the emotional and mental side of affiliate marketing more than the practical.

There are more than enough “How To”  sites out there but maybe not enough “Why To” blogs so, from now on, that’s what I’ll be doing.

For many new internet  marketers, myself included, the lure of limitless wealth, copious free time and an altogether fabulous lifestyle, is almost overpowering.

Affiliate marketing promises to return a steady income stream, 24/7, for seemingly modest  amounts of work, but the truth couldn’t be more different.

To be even moderately successful requires far more work than any paid job I’ve ever had, but here’s where it gets interesting - it’s actually fun and doesn’t feel like work!

I think about marketing all the time - it keeps me awake at night.

Every situation, every person I meet, every product I use, I ‘m always looking for the angle, the way to leverage each experience to benefit  my marketing efforts.

In short, I’ve become obsessed.

What’s more, I think you have to be like this if you’re going to succeed.

It’s an itch you have just have to scratch.
