SUCCESS MAKING

Is affiliate marketing success possible?

So you see a bunch of affiliate marketing gurus that say they make millions of dollars a year, but this is not the norm for most people that get into affiliate marketing. In fact, I have read that only 5% of people who do affiliate marketing stick with it and earn any kind of real money from it. So, has anyone out there that is not a “guru” had any affiliate marketing success? I am trying to decide if it is worth it to get my hopes up that I can make any real money from it.

I am right there with you on the so-called gurus who make millions of dollars and live in mansions and have their own jets misconception. I have come across several of them that brag about what they have and what they make but then their products absolute suck and don’t tell you anything!

Here’s my story and I am an average everyday guy who was able to quit my 9-5 job (or should I say 3-11 job) to become an Internet marketer. I went to a technical school and learned computer repair and was able to get a job at a help center for a computer software company. I worked from 3-11 and I never saw my wife who worked from 9-5.

The job paid ok (enough to pay the bills) but the hours were killing me and dealing with some of the callers we got, soon wore on my nerves. One of the guys I worked with told me about affiliate marketing and he was getting into it part-time to make some extra money on the side. I was interested and started to look into and decided that it was something that I could part-time as well.

It started out slow at first with a few hundred dollars here and there. But then my wife got pregnant and I knew that I had to make more money in order to support all three of us. I put in every second of every day making my sites and promoting them. I did article writing, SEO optimization techniques, and researched every Internet marketing strategy guru I could find.

That’s when I came upon Matt Bacak’s site www.mattbacak.com and was blown away by his insight and techniques. I learned from his newsletter that I could spend a lot less time and put my sites on auto pilot and still have them make money. The amazing this is is that he was totally right and now I am making nearly six figures a year.

If there is one guru out there that is worth listening to, it is Matt. He has made his millions, but is still humble and willing to give out invaluable nuggets of advice to anyone who will listen. I highly recommend him as a mentor. I did and it paid off big time.
