Affiliate marketing: Does this sound familiar??

[Marcus]

Does this sound sound familiar?
.
You hated your job and hit Google looking for ways to make money online, hoping to quit your 9-to-5 and enjoy the laptop lifestyle many desires.
.
Google probably burped out 999 ways that you can make money online, and somewhere on that list, you read about affiliate marketing where some "gurus" claim how easy it is to make money and you will be financially free within 6 months.
.
Yeah, 6 months later, you're still stuck trying to make your first commission, and the dream is almost dead.
.
.
Sorry to burst your bubble; but affiliate marketing is definitely not all rainbow and sunshine. You need to have some realistic expectations.
.
.
I think first thing first, you need to know who you can trust in the space.
.
There are just a lot of lies going on in this space, and the common one is that many are showing you all the good stuff and none of the bad stuff.
.
They might show you that they made $1,000 commission this week, but they don't show you the 30 hours of work and the $2,000 they spent to get that commission.
.
It looks like it's all glamour and easy money when in reality, they're either losing money or spending a lot of time to make a small amount of money.
.
.
Even some "gurus" who teach affiliate marketing make a vast majority of their money from 𝙩𝙚𝙖𝙘𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜 affiliate marketing and very little money from actually 𝙙𝙤𝙞𝙣𝙜 affiliate marketing.
.
So, you really need to look out when you're buying stuff and see whether their money is coming from doing what they're showing you to do or actually coming from you.
.
.
Just some precaution, and of course, they are some good guys also who teach the legit ways of doing affiliate marketing and really have the results from doing it.
.
Just gotta do your due diligence in researching enough before jumping in.
.
.
Safe hustling, guys
