Affiliate Marketers are you really so stupid and believe that someone, which finds a system where he can generate unlimited income streams, will share it with you over the social networks? 

If one will doing this then he is nothing else then a stupid egghead! 

If you get such offers, then this one which has made the offer, needs you, your money, your workforce or both for getting an income by himself. What will happen with you is for him not important as long as you are able to generate income for him. Sorry, but this is the bitter truth.

There is no "holy grail" for making money available. If such a holy grail gets found you can be sure that the government will do everything what is possible to stop this opportunity. Otherwise the world economics would break down and the money will lose its value.

So why are you so stupid in believe in such systems?
The provided proofs are nothing else than fakes. Yesterday I have found such a fake which could get easily proofed. The first payout has been before the domain got registered. You can find the article here. Why the other proofs should not be faked? Everybody can create an evidence which is looking good and real by using a computer. You are not able to inspect or check it back.

Are the hawker videos impressing you?
Videos are making only this people, which did not learn to write and to read. Such time-waster videos are made from hawker and they try to convince you with a lot psychological tricks mixed up with meaningless words to be a part of their system. They only like to get your money and/or your workforce. The best system for them will be that you pay, invest and work for them! Take a look at the most sites. There are nothing else then a caption, a video and a field where you have to drop your email address if you like to get redirected to next information. Videos cannot get indexed by the search engines. Only written words are getting indexed.

Why are the owner of these video-sites waiving the traffic from the search engines?
These scammer need to make fast business and disappear immediately before they can get captured by the police. For this they are not interested into the traffic from search engines. The expected life time of such a site is only a few weeks or months. That is too short to get a good search engine ranking. Most of the sites are using a privacy protection services. The inland revenue service is very interested in such a business too.

Is the promised income impressing you?
Sorry, but between promotion and reality is mostly a big gap! The promoted fantasy income are maybe the people on top earning but not the freshly recruited ones. To get such an income will be nearly impossible for you.

Why do you need to pay a sign-up and/or membership fee?
The company is saving already a lot from their own marketing costs. You'll know already which company you should avoid if they like to get a sign-up or membership fee. In such a case are their products nothing else then non-seller and they are not able to finance themselves or not able to keep their own system up and running without the fee. Serious companies will provide you even help by promoting their services or products without charging you something.

Don't forget: You are the one which works for the company and you shall get paid. Not opposite round! You are making the marketing and the sales. Without you the company will even not be able to sell something. The most of the affiliate marketing products are not able to get sold inside a store. There would be too much competition.

All the named tools and plugins are freeware tools and the provided links don't contain any affiliate code.

Qihoo 360 Total Security

To have a good Virus scan is important for each computer or device. I’m using the free virus scan 360 Total Security from Qihoo including the browser plugins. This product even blocks suspicious websites and of course malware sites. You have in any the case to proceed to the site from which you get warned. I made a good experience with the support from Qihoo.

Adguard AdBlocker (browser plugin)

Adguard AdBlocker effectively blocks all types of advertising on all web pages, even on Facebook, Youtube, and others! The security module blocks access to all fraudulent and malicious sites. You have even the choice to disable the ad blocking functions for a whole site.

Alexa Toolbar (browser plugin)

The Alexa Toolbar shows you the rank in the traffic which a domain generates in the world wide web. Alexa says about it ranking mechanism:

Alexa’s traffic estimates and ranks are based on the browsing behavior of people in our global data panel which is a sample of all internet users.

Alexa’s Traffic Ranks are based on the traffic data provided by users in Alexa’s global data panel over a rolling 3 month period. Traffic Ranks are updated daily. A site’s ranking is based on a combined measure of Unique Visitors and Pageviews. Unique Visitors are determined by the number of unique Alexa users who visit a site on a given day. Pageviews are the total number of Alexa user URL requests for a site. However, multiple requests for the same URL on the same day by the same user are counted as a single Pageview. The site with the highest combination of unique visitors and pageviews is ranked #1. Additionally, we employ data normalization to correct for biases that may occur in our data.

My own experience is that an Alexa rank of 200,000 is equal to around 300 visitors per day and a rank over 1,000,000 is already a big secret in the World Wide Web.

Resume: If 360 Total Security or the AdGuard plugin is warning you from visiting the site or the main site of the affiliate network has an Alexa ranking over 100,000 then you need not sign up for being an affiliate marketer. In this case you are only losing time and money.

Turn off jealousy and the greediness for money in your mind. You should appreciate and be grateful for what you already have. You may think your life sucks. But there are billions of people who would gladly trade places with you right now.

Three billion individuals live on around $2 per day, while 1.5 billion have $1 or less every day. Seventy percent of those living on $1 or less every day are women. Did you realize that 75% of the world population is living by the lowest wage permitted by law?

Investigate all the things you have already – food, clothing, flat or a house, Internet, devices, family, friends, toys, TV, etc. I am certain you have enough food for supper this evening and breakfast tomorrow morning. You've most likely got enough change in your pocket to get a coffee at the next coffee shop.

Compare your life with the man at the following picture:

All this affiliate program presentations are psychological playing with the jealousy and greediness of the people. You’ll find in 99.9% of all the promotions for an affiliate program the theoretical possible earnings, which not one of the affiliates is able to reach. Even 10% of that what they are promoting are for normal affiliates not really reachable. You find at their website in the most cases in the disclaimer written: “…. TO EXPRESS OUR OPINION OF EARNINGS POTENTIAL”

With other words that would be possible only if the system would be running like they have calculated it. The problem is only that the reality is different to their calculation. There is no “Holy Grail” in business available. If someone finds a Holy Grail in business he will not tell about it, because if all copy it then his own earnings are going down.

If someone promotes a way for getting rich, then he needs your work and your money for getting rich. The people are all thinking about themselves. What will happen to you is not important for them as long as you are functioning. Don’t forget it, when you are searching for an affiliate program.

Each promotion shows you first how rich the inventor of the campaign got already. This takes around 35% of the “free” eBook or video. This is followed from 25% vainglory, about 5% product information and 35% about prices and gifts or additional values which you get if you sign up. All this is should get sold by using all possible psychological sales tricks.

They are promising that you get for your $10, $20, $30, $40, etc. values for a few thousand dollars. If you are thinking logically then you’ll know that nobody can give you more money, without running into bankruptcy, than he earns from you. The giveaways have no value in this case. They are only overpriced announced for the purpose of your sign-up.

Be very carefully and check which value you really get and take a good look at the product, which shall get sold. Maybe you’ll not be able to sell it.

If you have the idea to sell the product by using your website, then you need a very interesting website, which gets visited by more than 10,000 individuals for one sale. If your site has an Alexa ranking of around 200,000 then you will make, if you are lucky, one sale per month.

Let us first take a view about the definition of being rich. My own definition of being rich is: It is not a matter of the amount of money you have. You’ll be rich if you are satisfied with that what you have. If you are not happy with your life then money cannot help you. Very poor are this ones, which are sitting in a golden cage already and are running behind their investments, because they cannot trust someone.

Affiliate marketing is an easy system. The affiliates are sending traffic to the seller for no cost. Only when a sale occurs then the affiliate gets her commission. The affiliate needs to have enough visitors on her homepage for earning something on this way. The most websites don’t have this traffic.

If your website has enough traffic then is an easy system:

• Select an affiliate offer to promote
• Send traffic to the sales page the way you like
• And wait until someone buys something that you can make money online

The only problem for the affiliate is:

• The customer is not the one of the affiliate
• The affiliate gets only paid once
• The advertiser may pull the offer
• The advertiser may lower the payout
• Competitors are coming up

Real business is done on by keeping the customer and inviting them for new offers. For this the most affiliate networks are offering a very high commission rate for the initial sale. They are making the big money in the recurring sales.

You can beat the system by the following steps:

• Choose a series of affiliate products from the same interest you are promoting
• Create a free eBook about the interest for giving away
• Create a own squeeze page offering the free eBook
• Promote and capture the leads generated by the squeeze page
• Deploy and email auto responder for building up a relationship with your new subscribers
• Recommend affiliate products and services for your subscribers
