How many of you guys actually like affiliate marketing?

Guess it would depend on your phase.

Teh uzual:

*I found AM, woohoo! Look at these success stories!

*I haz a lander and .com - I iz dangerous.

*Hmmm, this traffic shit is harder than I thought - let's rape forumz for knowledge.. yeh..

*Oh - wow - ummm - some of you guys just - can I do this shit and compete? Yeh, I can!

*Fuuuuuuuuuuu - It's been 4months I haz so much spam out there, been banned from x networks, tried xx shortcuts, have xx mfa sites, x.com aff landers, spent $x,xxx on adz, and havings my own clickbank mmo, nothing works! WTF!

**Affiliate marketing is a scam! I trieded it!!

If you succeed in 'marketing' not just 'am'ing', you see a new life, but that success rate is x% of the pool of us, and I GUARANTEE you they enjoy every minute of it (sans some moral/ethical extensions and or chopping off leeches et al. 'Getting' to the top is rarely fun bruh, once you're there though you appreciate anything/everything you did to get there even if you didn't enjoy it).
 


I had no desire to even get out of bed in the morning until i discovered am + copywriting + direct mail etc. Sounds cheesy but in all seriousness I was lazy and unmotivated and didn't have any solid goals or direction until I started getting into all of this.

This really is an amazing biz with endless opportunities and possibilities. Its crazy if you really think about it and how much you can accomplish in this game w/o having a degree or anything. Sometimes I go to sleep at night after checking stats and I half expect to wake up in the morning and it'll all be gone.

This industry really is almost perfect and I really couldn't see myself ever wanting to do something else outside of advertising/marketing, but then again I haven't been at this as long as you have.

But yeah If you really don't feel stoked when you wake up in the morning anymore, and you can deal with giving up the money + flexibility then you should probably go do something else.
 
FUCK AFFILIATE MARKETING, I HATE WORKING FOR MYSELF AND SETTING MY OWN HOURS AND DRINKING AND PLAYING STARCRAFT ALL DAY AND GO OUT WHENEVER I WANT. WORSE LIFE STYLE EVER. IF YOU JSUT STARTED GET THE FUCK OUT IT'S NOT WORTH IT
 
I love the feeling of creating a new campaign and having everything work out and watching the money pour in.
 
I love affiliate marketing ,although I haven't had much success and spent countless dollars on hosting ,domains ,forum subscriptions and ebooks . I'm still working on building new sites and campaign's .The flexibility, money and working for myself is like a dream right now .Yea it's frustrating at time's but when you taste success for the first time how could you not love AM and want to do it forever .
 
I love affiliate marketing , I spent my time on domains, hosting. Affiliate marketing gives decent amount of money over time off course it would take some time to see results.
 
i hate it because people ask what I do and its a pos to explain.

hence why i am now a professional counter-strike player to anyone who asks.
 
I love it because my success is contingent on the amount of effort I make, and nobody can downsize me. A recent day trip to NYC provided renewed warm fuzzies that I'm off the twice a day commutation track. Think about how many hours are sucked out of other people's lives when they are stuck in traffic at 8:30 am, or waiting for a bus in the rain just trying to get to the office.
 
I like the relatively easy money, but I'm pretty damn bored with working at home after 2 1/2 years to be honest. Probably going to have to get a "job" soon just so I can have a life while making money with my sites on the side.
 
Based on research this is a very popular way of making money on-line. It is actually a fantastic occupation. One of my friends like it. Is it a good idea to pick a niche that is already saturated?
