Affiliate Marketing is Not as Easy as You Think

Since being a Affiliate Marketer, I've had a lot of ups and downs.  One day I think I found a way that works for me and then another day, that way doesn't work anymore.

Affiliate marketing is like a learning experience for me.  You can truly make good money from it but you can't rely on doing just one thing.  Also there is so much competition on the web that you got to stand out from the rest.

I've noticed lately that I'm not earning as much money right now but it could be because it's still the beginning of the year and with my niche being "Making Money Online Free", not a lot of people are searching for ways to make extra income since they got their income taxes back.

Right now, this is a prefect time to start doing more link building, networking, forum posting, and also writing more informative articles on Squidoo.  I'm also thinking of tapping into Fiverr to earn a little more money.

Also word of advice, never just rely on Search Engines for traffic due to changes.  One day you can be on the first page for your keyword and the next day you can be on the 50th page.  Trust me, I've been through this with Google, so it's important to find other ways to get traffic to your blog or website.

Are you a Affiliate Marketer?  Do you find it kind of hard to continue to earn passive income from it?
