If you are a guy, can you imagine how easy things will be if the lady you’ve been eyeing all this while actually comes after you. She makes the move and…

Can you imagine how easy it will be for things to just happen?

Imagine you, the affiliate, are the guy eyeing the lady (the prospect). How easy will it be if she (the prospect) is the one who looks for you (the affiliate)?

Won’t it make it a lot easier for you?

That’s just what you have to position your affiliate business for if you want to make massive profits.

How do you do that?

Put yourself in the path of those who are desperately searching for what you offer (Sorry, they are not looking for you — No offence meant). They want information you can provide desperately.

What do they do?

They start searching. They go to search engines and begin to look for what they want. They use keywords and key phrases. And guess what they do when they find a site that has what they need?

They run after it. They click to it. Bookmark it. They won’t let it out of their sight. And because they found it, they are in a better mood to respond positively to whatever this site recommends. That’s what you want for your affiliate business.

So how do you build a site that has what they want and, more importantly, gets found? Get great books on writing to communicate and affiliate marketing and you’ll be able to do this really well.

How would you like to give yourself a raise each week? I’d be pretty excited about that possibility. How would you like to do it automatically as well? Now we’re talking. Tell me how I hear you say.

John Reese or TrafficSecrets.com fame dedicates a whole DVD in his course to testing and tracking. He talks about how many people do not test their marketing and how this is costing you and me money. By not testing and tracking we are just guessing at what works and what doesn’t.

When you test you can tell what is making money and what’s not. And once you eliminate what doesn’t work you will start making more money by using more of what does. When you do this and constantly improve your marketing you can give yourself a pay raise each week.

There are programs that allow you to test multiple variables on your site and sales letters and tell you how much each visitor is worth. This kind of testing is called Taguchi Testing or Multivariate Testing. Once you know how much each visitor is worth you can test more elements of your site to improve your visitor value. Thus, making you more money.

What about split testing?

Many marketers advocate split testing or A/B testing. And this is OK. You will improve your results by split testing. The downside is you have to create two sites, two landing pages, two set of Adwords ads and so on. Then you have to meticulously track each one and make sure you send the same amount of visitors to each site or page and make sure the conditions are exactly the same so as not to invalidate your results.

Why Tacguchi Multivariate Testing is better than split testing

Taguchi Testing allows you to test multiple variables at once all on the same landing page or site. You save time by only having to setup one landing page, one sales letter, or one website. Then you test it all. You’re able to concentrate on that one site and make it the best it can be.

The only problem with Taguchi Testing is that most of the solutions are expensive to implement. On the low end you can spend about $500 for a Multivariate Testing program to several thousands for more robust programs. Do a search on Google and you’ll see the Adwords ads offering White Papers on Taguchi Testing. When someone is offering a White Paper on a solution, you know it’s going to be expensive.

The alternative is doing it the hard way and testing each variable yourself. Most of us are lazy and don’t have enough time to do this. Or don’t want to make the time to do it even though it will increase your profits tremendously. Money you save on wasted marketing is just the same as money earned.

If you want to increase your profits each week setup a Multivariate Testing program that constantly tests the many variables on your site, tossing out the bad, keeping the good and increasing your visitor value and profits all at the same time.

A lot of affiliates work so hard but get very dismal results. While there are many reasons that could be responsible for this, selling instead of preselling seems to be the biggest reason.

A sales page is a page that does all to make a person buy. It shows all the benefits that will be reaped by buying. It shows all the pain that NOT buying will cause. A sales page has one mission: To make the sale.

That’s not what your newsletter or web page is about as an affiliate. I know you are about making sales but your mission is not to make the sales pitch. Leave that for the merchant’s sales page.

Your mission is to presell these prospects. Build your credibility. Let them see you as an expert who knows a lot about this stuff. More importantly, let them see you as a friend who is here to make their life easier.

If you can do these, all you’ll need to do is to introduce the product in question. Remember, the product must tie in seamlessly with what the web page or newsletter is about.

You must first give them such high value information on the subject matter that they are left in no doubt that you know a lot about it. Let them get very useful advice on the subject. Then make your recommendation as a service to them not as a sales pitch. If your recommendation does not blend into your article, it is not right there.

Remember, this should be an editorial review. Talk about the benefits of the product. Tell them how it helped you. Tell them what to expect and what NOT to expect. Tell them who the product is for and tell them who it is NOT for. Tell them the down sides of the product.

Do all these tastefully the way you tell a friend about a product you’ve experienced and leave them to make their decision. Let them know it is their call.

You can develop this skill. It is called the act of preselling. This great but free ebook will help you do just that. Get it here (You’ll have to subscribe to my newsletter first).

Running a home based business has become an attractive way to supplement one’s income and with the growth of online businesses, affiliate marketing is a relatively easy way to earn extra cash. What exactly is Affiliate Marketing? It is an agreement between a merchant and a website owner, whereby the website owner, or the affiliate consents to the use of his/her site for the promotion of the merchant’s products by linking with the online vendor’s site. In exchange, the merchant pays a commission on all sales generated by the affiliate. This means that every time someone clicks on a link on the affiliate website, is redirected to the merchant’s website and proceeds to make a purchase, the affiliate gets a commission.

The main reason why affiliate marketing is an excellent home based business is that there is little or no cash outlay for the prospective affiliate. The merchant has already tried and tested his product in the market and found it to have a good sale value, so all you, as an affiliate, have to do is find as many buyers as you can in order to increase the sales and bring in the profits. Affiliate programs are usually free to join, so affiliates do not have to worry about start-up costs. There are thousands of products and services you can choose from. You can find affiliate programs for every product so there is bound to be a product or service that is relevant to your website. You could even set up affiliate marketing as a home based business to run independent of your presence, perhaps while you at your primary job.

Affiliate marketing has become one of the most effective ways to advertise online. It is also one of the easiest ways for anyone with a website to make a profit online. Affiliate marketing programs are described as a win-win situation for both the merchant and the affiliate because of the pay-for-performance scheme. It gives the merchant a wider market in which to advertise a product or service. Affiliate marketing gives the product or service the exposure that it might not otherwise get with other traditional advertising techniques.

Meanwhile, the affiliate enjoys several advantages. Foremost among these is the ease with which profits can be made. In addition, there is absolutely no sales experience necessary. Most affiliate programs offer excellent support when it comes to providing marketing material. Because of the global reach of the internet, you can easily find thousands of eager buyers. You can broaden your advertising campaign with dynamic, high pressure tactics such as viral marketing. If you aim to reach the largest possible number of targeted potential buyers, you will greatly increase your earnings. The lack of complexity involved in affiliate marketing allows you to be an affiliate marketer with minimal liability, an ideal pre-requisite for a home based business. It is even possible to earn high affiliate commissions without a website of your own. It is always an advantage to have your own website, but if you don’t, you can still become an affiliate marketer. You can, as do many people, earn a good income through Pay-per-Click advertising (PPC) using Google Adwords. You can also use different approaches like email marketing, offline promotions, writing e-books and engaging in online discussion forums. A further advantage of taking up affiliate marketing as a home business is that it is not contractual work. What this means is that there is no binding obligation on your part to keep promoting products that do not sell well - for whatever reason. Since you are in this business to make money, if you think that your returns are poor, you are free to go on to another product belonging either to the same or a different vendor.

Let us assume that you have decided to try your hand at affiliate marketing - you have your website ready, it has a theme, good domain name and reliable hosting - and you are raring to get started on your new home based business. There are 3 easy ways to start an effective affiliate marketing program:

1. Identify your area of interest and expertise - Focusing on a specific area you know very well will help bring out your creative best without much risk or effort. You can add a personal touch to your site and give your visitors, who are potential buyers, the impression that you are an expert in your field. In this way, you gain their trust and eventually encourage them to buy the products you endorse. Most importantly, instead of getting bored and discouraged if your sales are slow to get started, you could use your expertise and enthusiasm to find more creative ways to promote your affiliate products.

2. Searching for the right products - Look for merchants who pay a good percentage of the product value as commission.. Select products or services related to your interest and that are pertinent or complementary to the theme of your website. In choosing the products, you must also consider whether the number of visitors your advertising attracts to the site actually translates to buyers. If all you get are people browsing through the site, brought there by your publicity campaigns, then your earnings will go down. In such cases, you will have to rethink your strategy for attracting targeted buyers. There are various affiliate networks and affiliate solution providers that can give you information on the most profitable products and best paying merchants. The key here is, be wise enough to choose the right one.

3. Promoting your chosen products - This is a crucial task, since it is through this that you would be able to increase traffic to your website, close the sales and of course, reap the profits. Affiliate marketing allows you to make a lot of money fast particularly if the products you sell are expensive, branded and much sought after. Heavily priced products, however, can be hard to sell and attract other affiliate competitors; but with the right marketing strategies and sales techniques, you can draw visitors to the merchant’s site and make them buy the products. Continue to educate yourself by reading books or other articles online about the best advertising techniques. You need to be creative, flexible and willing to embrace new ideas to market your partners’ products until you find the perfect strategy that works for a specific market that you are targeting.

Nothing stops people from making money on the Internet more than an unwillingness to ride out the rough patches. The main reason for this is that they are in it only for the quick influx of cash. The money is important, no doubt about that , but a sincere desire to learn more, to try different strategies, to put in the effort and above all a confidence that it can be done, will in the end, only help you join the ranks of those successful in affiliate marketing. You may even find it so lucrative that you decide to give up your day job to concentrate exclusively on your home based business thus achieving every one’s dream of personal and financial independence.

Do you mean I (an affiliate) can really do anything to improve the conversion rate of a merchant’s website without talking to him or her? How’s that possible?

I will explain this with a 4 x 100 relay race…

Let’s assume you have a team of four sprinters. If the final hundred meters will be anchored by an athlete who has a best time of 11.34 seconds (Not a great record for an Olympic Games men’s 4 x 100 relay gold medal hopeful).

What if the other three sprinters in this relay team have an average best time of 9.40 seconds (Don’t worry if any one has ever run that fast — I’m about showing you something here)? What if the three of them actually reach their best time in that final race?

In spite of this slow sprinter, they can still win the Olympic Gold for that event.

It will not be because the last anchor was a great sprinter. It will be because he is in a great team.

You can make your team (you and your merchant) great.Your merchant will do well to improve his copy if he can but you can start altering his conversion by how you presell leads from you.

Has it ever happened that you didn’t even spend time reading through those long sales letters because someone you trust recommended the product? Will it matter then if the sales letter was great or average? Not really. You’re not buying because of what they say, you’re buying on the "say so" of someone you’ve come to trust wholeheartedly.

If only you can build such trust with your list or website visitors, you can make unbelievable conversions even from the lousiest of sales copies.

You can improve your preselling skills by reading this great ebook. It is NOT the best book on preselling. It is the ONLY book and best of all, it’s free once you subscribe to my newsletter on writing effectively for the web.

If you want a great book on how you, too, can succeed in your affiliate business, get this one. It is free but believe me, you won’t need to buy another book on affiliate marketing for a very long time.

Affiliate education is an extremely lucrative business that keeps growing on a daily basis. There is not a day that goes by, that some new expert promises to show you how to make you rich promoting affiliate programs. These experts promise to tell you the secrets to making millions promoting affiliate programs. They make it seem as if they hold the key to your future and that key is their new affiliate marketing book.

The truth is there are no secrets to making money with affiliate marketing. This is a business that anyone can start and make money fairly easy. So, if anyone can start and make money easily and there are no secrets, is affiliate education needed? There is a definite need for affiliate education, because there is a difference in making money and turning a profit and that is the key that most people miss. Anyone can make money online, but you need to turn a profit to stay in business and have the ability to make affiliate marketing a full time job. This is where a good affiliate marketing book will come in handy.

If affiliate education is import and there are no secrets, how do I know which of the affiliate marketing books to purchase? That is the million dollar question!! While there is no definitive answer, below are some tips that you can use to help make your purchasing decision easier.

1. Avoid the hype. Look past the long sales pages and ask your self if this is too good to be true. Most of the time they are.

2. Look at several reviews. Are they biased? Truth is 99% of the time yes. Most webmasters give biased reviews so that you will buy the product. The majority of the reviews are done by people who have not even read the book themselves.

3. Beware of the proof photos. You know the ones I am talking about, the Click Bank (or other) sales stats for a month. Anyone with a simple knowledge of Photo Shop can "doctor" these images.

4. Look past the "testimonials" 99% of the time they are from friends, business associates or just out right made up.

5. Do not buy with out a refund option. If the product does not come with a refund, move on.

6. Keep track of all receipts and back them up. When purchasing products online, I forward all receipts to a hotmail and g-mail account for safe keeping.

7. Use your refund. If you purchase a book and feel that you have been scammed, use the refund option.

8. Avoid the refund all together. Visit my site Affiliate Marketing Books, to get unbiased reviews of some of the most popular affiliate manuals available. You may be surprised at what you read.

9. When you have a copy of a good book, save a copy on a cd-rom, floppy disk or some other optional source. Better yet, print it, put it in a binder and take good notes.

10. Finally, do not purchase a book on affiliate marketing if you are not going to use it. Put that book to work and make money with it.

Things don’t just happen. If you see a successful affiliate business, there is a pattern that has made it successful. If you can learn what it is and implement it in your own affiliate marketing endeavors, you’ll start getting similar results.

This is very true of super affiliates. These are folks who make six-figure (And sometimes seven-figure) incomes. So what are their secrets? I have managed to glean five that you too can use to make more affiliate revenue…

They respond fast — If there’s a tsunami, they send out a message to their list, build a web page, make a post on their blogs or talk about it in forums so fast you begin to wonder if they had a hand in it. And while they do all that, they find a way to blend in their stuff without sounding like a sales pitch.

They ensure that it fits their niche — If they are promoting a product, they look at the needs of their audience and check which of its features cater most to their needs. They write in such a way that it is not off their niche. They do all this without removing attention from important caveats their readers must take note of.

They usually buy the product or service first. They take time to check it out well. They take note of all the pros and cons then they write to show both. They make you know what to expect if you decide to buy.

They put their readers first. If they know a product isn’t good for their audience, they won’t promote it even if you intend to give them 95% of the selling price. They understand that if they hurt these loyal followers they are left with nothing. They don’t stop at that: they even protect their readers from hype.

Finally, super affiliates work hard and smart. If you want to see folks who do 72- 80 hour weeks, here’s where to look for them. How do I know? Your guess is as good as anyone else’s.

Learn how to make your affiliate business a lot more fruitful. Learn how by reading this great book. It is one of the greatest books on the subject. Please, don’t buy any book on affiliate marketing until you’ve read this one. You, too, can succeed in your affiliate business. It is free but believe me, you won’t need to buy another book on affiliate marketing for a very long time.

POWERFUL INTERNET INCOME GENERATORS The internet is a powerful income generator, and of those income sources out there, one of the most powerful internet income solutions is free affiliate programs. Affiliate programs are typically money making programs that individuals can join for free and earn a substantial income from.

I know, that doesn’t make sense, how can you join a program for free yet earn money? The basic premise is simple, while many free affiliate programs vary. Some do require an upgrade purchase while others do not, allowing you to make a profit for every person you bring into the program that chooses to upgrade.

Free affiliate programs are steadily becoming one of the fastest growing trends in internet marketing. Their growing popularity makes them a good choice for internet marketing at this time because the public interest is still so high, making them easier to market. Some people view them as a solid method of learning valuable internet marketing skills without having to dig deep into their pockets for high end marketing programs. Others see them as the absolute source of internet marketing income for the next fifty years.

IS AFFILIATE MARKETING RIGHT FOR YOU?

Regardless of the program venture, it is necessary to meet certain requirements before joining the internet marketing revolution. The basic requirements are fairly simple. Be willing to risk at least a small amount of money on advertising, be willing to take someone else’s advice, and of course, be willing to be at least mildly patient. Dynasties are not built overnight no matter how hard the e-mail in your junk box is trying to convince you otherwise. Pretty simple?

Next in line is understanding how affiliate programs work. Their basic concept is quite similar to that of all internet network marketing plans, you introduce someone who introduces someone else and eventually you build what’s know as a down-line. Down-lines today are also referred to as matrices in order to avoid the negative association sometimes aligned with network marketing. However, the educated network marketer is going to understand the difference between a legitimate marketing plan and a pyramid scheme. There is a huge difference.

The basic and most defining difference between network marketing and pyramid schemes (other than pyramids are illegal) is really quite basic. If you draw any plan out on paper the basic shape you are looking at after you get your two down-line and Jim gets his two and Sally gets her two is inevitably going to look like a triangle. That shape does not constitute a pyramid scheme. If only the circle at the top of your triangle is receiving any monetary reward for his efforts and all the little circles under him are receiving nothing, that is a pyramid and is illegal in the United States and most other first and second world countries.

Now that we understand that what is going on here is perfectly legal, network marketing foes not need to carry a bad reputation. So whether you choose to call it a down-line or a matrix, the premise is the same. You are introducing others to a plan to make money and that is known as network marketing. Affiliate network marketing, and in particular free affiliate network marketing is based on the concept that you can try out the program first without risking your money, and you can invite others to do the same as well. It is quite possible to build a down-line with a free affiliate network marketing plan without having to join the program first, and then upgrade in order to qualify for earned sales on your down-line’s upgrades as well. Again, pretty simple. It’s like test driving the care for awhile before you decide to either pay for it or return it.

AFFILIATE GENIUS

This is really exciting stuff when you think about it. Not only do you get to try out the free affiliate program for free, so does everyone that you introduce to the program. Considering the fact that network marketing of any kind is not the right avenue for some people, it allows the up-line to determine where to place their efforts when working with their down-line. Everybody has a solid understanding before the subject of shelling out any money ever arises, and often success is easier to attain because of that understanding.

All network marketing programs require an education as you proceed, and affiliate network marketing programs are in fact no different. It is imperative that an individual understands their program as well as marketing resources as they begin their endeavor into the realm of internet marketing. Often the educational resources are quite biased and deliver unrealistic promises that can’t be met without first chunking down large sums of money.

So where does one turn to find this much needed education? Luckily there is a resource out there targeted specifically at free affiliate internet marketing programs that can help to answer all the typically unanswered questions. Affiliatepit has the answers to the questions you didn’t even know you had. AFFILIATE NETWORK MARKETING RESOURCES

It’s not easy to swim out the in a virtual sea of sharks when you’re not even sure which direction to take to find the shoreline. Independent marketing resources are absolutely the lifeboat that is desperately needed in the realm of this endless sea. Please take note of the words, independent and unbiased.

Why are these words so important? Because they are not simply pay to post websites. Affiliatepit is an independent resource for internet network marketer of affiliate programs to reasonably educate regardless of the affiliate program. They are not teaching you how to market their program and make money for them. They are offering you a wide variety of topics that you need to know without insisting you go off and promote their company. Logic tells us this is a much more reliable source than the program that offers you a wonderful network marketing education when you join their program and market their websites.

Free affiliate programs are popping up all over the internet. Critics say this will ultimately be the death of them, however most marketers who actually make a handsome living from internet marketing vehemently disagree. The onset of the free affiliate program has allowed people to learn without burning, so to speak. The learning curve is much shorter and of course the resources saved in joining a free program is then translated into advertising dollars, making the program more successful overall.

For those interested in joining the free affiliate network marketing revolution but have yet to settle on which affiliate program is right for them, there is a link provided in some of the articles on affiliatepit that brings you right to a list of affiliate programs worth marketing. Choosing the right program is important, so be sure to read the entire article and look before leaping. Many programs have varying rules in how to qualify for commissions.

Each free affiliate program offers a wide range of compensation, so again, find out the information first. Some offer as low as 5% while others skyrocket commissions up to 50%. Some offer a low commission for free members and a much higher commission for upgraded members. It is very important to understand the affiliate program in question when doing you due diligence.

With so many affiliate programs swirling out there in cyberspace, let’s not forget that not all of them swirl forever. Programs do close down occasionally and that leaves all of the industrious affiliates high and dry. Once again, Affiliatepit covers this topic well and offers advice on finding programs that project longetivity and real income potential. After all, we started this in order to make some money, not spend years researching various programs.

Successful affiliate programs combine a quality product, a high integrity program, and actual real live support to its members. To discover where these programs exist may take a little effort, but the pay off is well worth the research in the beginning.

Affiliatepit has complied more than simply lists and links to contributing affiliate programs. Their contributors are actual marketers who have done research of their own and are simply willing to share their findings with the rest of us. The value offered in one site is tremendous, and the best part is it’s all available at the click of the mouse. Perusing the site offers advice you didn’t even know you needed. From the “Pros and Cons” article to the simple and direct “Do you have what it takes” article, there are answers to unasked questions that had yet to even cross our minds.

Work at home programs and successful free affiliate programs can be difficult to come by. The basic truth is that anyone with just a little knowledge can slap together a website and call themselves an affiliate program. Luckily, we don’t have to be swimming out there in the cyberspace ocean alone any longer. With the web based knowledge of

Affiliatepit knowledgeable contributors, we all have a shot at becoming successful and prosperous in the affiliate program surge.

A lot of things happen to businesses. Some go out of business because of some tragedies beyond their controls; others because of poor business practices. A lot of things can go wrong with a business and if it does, your affiliate revenue will suffer if you’ve put all your affiliate efforts in just one basket.

No matter how great a product is, it will surely have, at least, a distant rival. This rival might not be able to compete on quality but it might be able to compete on price, ease of use, customer support and so on.

It is to your advantage if you have more than one recommendation for any type of product or service. It makes your work slightly harder since I recommend you experience the product or service first hand before recommending it. That is the only way you can tell which is the best, the second and the least.

Now when you recommend just one product, it becomes more difficult not to make it a sales pitch. If you talk about a type of product that provides a solution to a certain problem and then give your readers a few options, it is easier to do an editorial review.

Furthermore, it strengthens your preferred product when you say something like "…of these three, I find … to be the best by a wide margin."

Yes, some people will go for the second and even the third. But don’t you get a commission for all three?

If any thing should go wrong with one of the merchants, your boat might rock but it will not sink because you diversified. And if your niche lends itself to other forms of monetization (like selling a service, placing Adsense ads, etc), do it. That will be building your business on a solid rock.

If you want a great book on how you, too, can succeed in your affiliate business, get this one. It is free but believe me, you won’t need to buy another book on affiliate marketing for a very long time.

What is a Mentor.

A mentor is a person that provides you with guidance and advice, and is usually someone who has greater experience than you in the subject that you seek advice about. A good mentor sows seeds or ideas in a persons mind which helps the person to further themselves in the field that they are seeking mentoring in. A mentor must be someone that is trusted by the person seeking advice, and someone who provides motivation and inspiration.

Why do people need Mentors.

It is true that you can be successful in any endeavor in life without having a mentor, but talk to most really successful people and they will always tell you that they benefited greatly from a mentor. Why, because a mentor is able to keep you focused on the goals you are trying to achieve, but more than that, they have overcome many of the same hurdles that you will face, so with their experience they can help you overcome any difficulties or problems much easier.

It is a little bit like a child that has the choice of going to school or not. If they don’t go to school, they will most likely learn to read and write in a fashion, but if they go to school they will learn how to perform a task correctly in a shorter space of time, because they have someone to teach them that knows and understands the lessons that they are teaching. You can learn about most things in life if you apply yourself, but if you have someone that knows and understands the subject helping you, you will learn more in a shorter space of time. A person can learn how to market products if they study it long enough, and try different things, but if they have a mentor that has experience in this field then they will learn more in a shorter space of time, and this will help them achieve their goals in a shorter space of time.

No matter what level of experience you have, you will always benefit from a mentor, but especially if you have little experience in the field that you are seeking help in. A person that is just starting out in the field of affiliate marketing will benefit greatly if they have a mentor that can help and assist them in setting up marketing strategies, explain the ‘jargon’ and provide inspiration when you become bogged down. This is especially relevant in affiliate marketing as the strategies can change so rapidly, due to search engines changing the rules, new products that emerge on the market and the vast amount of information that is available. Establishing what is good and relevant information when is comes to affiliate marketing can be very daunting and costly if you try and do it alone.

How do you find a Mentor.

Now this is where it becomes tricky. How do you find a mentor that you know is experienced and that you can trust? A good place to start is in an online forum. You can join a forum and then find a person that consistently provides good advice. Once you have established that the person is experienced and seems trustworthy, send them a message asking if they will mentor you, or just start asking questions on the forum and accept the advice that is offered that seems appropriate to you.

Why do people become Mentors.

Most people have a desire to help others. The best example of this is a parents desire to help their children as much as possible, and to help their children achieve their best. Likewise most people have a deep desire to help others, and it provides a mentor with a sense of achievement if he can help others in becoming successful. A mentor always finds that when they help others, they are helped themselves in some other way.

In summary.

The fastest and best way to achieve your goals is to find a person that has experience in the field that you are endeavoring to learn about. Learn from them, ask them questions and seek their advice. Most importantly heed the advice you are given and take action. The worst thing you can do is get some good advice and then not use it. A mentor likes to see you continue to achieve, and if you start to ignore the advice you are given, then naturally the mentor will not be as eager to help.

If you are an affiliate marketer or are considering becoming an affiliate marketer, I highly recommend you join the Wealthy affiliate learning university, which has a very active forum that discusses all things relating to affiliate marketing. There are a number of very successful affiliate marketers active in the forum that are willing to help all who need some advice about their strategies.
