What separates the best from the rest?

I was making $50 net almost daily for about 3 months. Testing, tweaking, and dedication in the evenings after the wife and kids were in bed and when my paying job was done turned that up incredibly. Just like sports, music etc..if you want to master something, you need to immerse yourself over a long period.
And Ill say this- I started doing dozens of offers first, without really studying them each...then I went with the 1-2 offer at a time approach and really tuned them in over time, and only when they were really killing it, or I couldnt possibly make them profitable, would I move to another offer.
 


thanks everyone.
ImagesAndWords - thanks for that man, i'll give it a go

I work at this 12 hours a day, often more. So I'm pretty immersed in it.. I have strengths but not a master at anything yet. The marketing side and analyzing competition is definitely my strength. I pick things up easily so i know when i sit down to learn some php it wont take me long to learn what i need to know.

Well one of my 2 profitable campaigns just got canned by the merchant for trademark bidding, the other is going pretty well!
 
execution is everything.

this.

ideas are actually worth nothing. nobody got rich just on an idea. a lot of people didnt get rich even though they had viable ideas.


and remember to take chances on shit. fortune favors the bold.
 
i see a lot of parallels with professional poker players.

1. you can make a lot of money just by yourself. Not that networking isnt a good move, but you don't need to be drafted by a sports team, discovered by a movie director, appointed by board. Basically you don't need anyone else's approval. Its on you.

2. The pros clean up huge.

3. There is risk and the bad players fail.
 
Gotta be a risk taker and think big. Anyone that says they just want to make a "decent living" is not going to make it, gotta go big.

Watching your interview with Wes has made me really think about rolling the dice on some media buys. I'm conservative by nature but I've learned in this industry you just gotta go for it sometimes and if it doesn't work, oh fucking well.
 
persistence is the key in this business, maybe networking might help, been at this for almost a year maybe this year i post more to make some friends.
 
take in mind that affiliate marketing flunctuates, sometimes you be making $100 per day then the next day you'll be making $10 dollar a day.

well when that one campaign drops to 10 you should have already been on two more campaigns started while u waiting to get results back from the first.... so perhaps if you're focusing too much on that one LP where you're stuck in that one nich/offer.. you will fail. always been onto the next....

yeah, word. I was already doing some content stuff before ngo's interview. Since then, I decided to move away from the QS for good... had my first deep green day yesterday, more to come!
 
Im not having any luck on content network. could just be my niches but search is performing so much better for me.
 
i dont do search as of right now....but that doesnt mean that it doesnt work. you just have to test, test, test and test more. ad copy, landing pages and different offers. eventually you'll find a goldmine.
 
you know the more and more i play in this game the more i think this testing thing is a smokescreen. sure, testing can take you from 7-8% (or more) CR but its the research that makes the difference to me. i guess what i mean i mean is i wouldn't walk into a gunfight with my cock in my hand. knowing my market has proved far more profitable and quicker to me.
