subject: The Wealthy Affiliate [print this page] What does it mean to be a wealthy affiliate? I have wondered about its meaning after seeing various times on the Internet Additionally, how would you be categorized as one? First, it most probably refers to those that have amassed large fortunes in affiliate marketing. Their knowledge and wealth sets them apart. Secondly, trying to measure someone as a wealthy affiliate would not be objective since everyone uses different parameters.
Is still possible to achieve those results and attain that status? Who would not want to be one, I do, do you? Some say that those that made their fortunes on the Internet were fortunate in their timing and were at the right place at the right time. That may be so, but the Internet and its usage seem to be expanding, not stagnant or declining. This supports the idea that good opportunities still exist.
More and more have turned to the Internet for their fortunes after hearing of these wealth affiliates. Added to this is the increasing number of unemployed who have not been able to find suitable jobs have turned to the Internet for their subsistence. Surely there are more participants, but there is also more opportunity.
So what is the determining factor to become wealthy affiliate? As an affiliate marketer do you need just luck or is a combination of factors that include hard work, determination and persistence to become successful? Luck is always good in anything but determination and persistence is more important.. The numbers I have seen state that 95% of those attempting affiliate marketing fail in the first year. That number may act as a deterrent, except that when you look at other business on the internet and not the numbers are similar.
Homework, research and proper planning must be done in any business in order to succeed and affiliate marketing is no different. Those that plan and research their niche, market and other factors will have a higher chance for success. It may be oversimplified but if you look at those that failed, they did not commit the proper time to these activities. Failure to them is due to external factors and not their own doing. There are good affiliate programs and those that are willing to help you. But remember to do your homework and plan.
I hope that you turn into a wealthy affiliate and that you enjoy success and an affiliate marketer. In the end the success is being a role model to others.
