I get a lot of emails during the day and I receive a ton of random questions, and obvious questions as well…

But one thing I’ve noticed is (whether it’s written exactly like this or metaphorically…) “How can I make money QUICKLY?”.

My best answer to this is understand the basics of Affiliate Marketing, learn Article Marketing, how to cloak links (I am sending a Link Cloaking Script to all of my newsletter subscribers) to keep your commissions from being stolen, and definitely Keyword and Niche Research.

Can you learn this overnight? I’m sorry, but no…

This stuff will take weeks (at the very least) to start to understand the basics and get your first campaign going well enough to make money.

Bum Marketing is a GREAT way to get started quickly, but, again, you still need to understand the basics of this stuff.

If you’re looking to get rich overnight, you need to go try your chances on the lottery. If you’re looking for the ability to quit your day job next week, good luck in the unemployment line! (sorry, but you NEED to match that money before you jump in head first or you will end up in serious financial problems…)

Think about it this way: EVEN IF you started making so many sales that you knew you could quit your job – when are you going to receive those funds? You could be waiting for MONTHS, in some cases. So, keep doing what you’re doing (if you are seeing success) and then wait until the money starts rolling in… put some more money into your business (Affiliate Marketing IS a Business) and keep trying to build your Business up over the next few months.

Focus on building, then start planning your exit strategy from the day job. You’ll be happy you did in the end, and you’re going to have more money in the bank, just in case.

I know there’s a TON of GRQ Programs (Get Rich Quick) that claim to be so great… but I’ve seen the smartest guys get conned into these programs. It doesn’t mean you’re dumb for getting involved, and it doesn’t mean you’re too smart to stay away… it means you’re either ready to move on to a better financial status in your life, or not.

I truly think that Affiliate Marketing is the best way to make money online in the fastest time, but in most cases – it does NOT happen overnight.

I am writing a few new ebooks on Affiliate Marketing (getting close to being done) and you will receive them if you sign up to my Newsletter, as I do not like people just linking to freebies on my site

My main goal is to provide the absolute BEST information on the subject and stomp out so many useless ebooks out there (ps – READ MY NEW REVIEW COMING SOON!), because most are simply junk.

Hopefully my free information will earn you more money in the future but you need to TAKE ACTION and not get caught up in LEARNING more than you need to when getting started… BELIEVE ME, I’m the KING of learning and not doing! That’s why I suffered financially for so long. Luckily, I’m getting past that – and I notice that I’m making more money because of it.

Do you need to work full time as an Affiliate Marketer? No, definitely not. I’ve seen SO MANY people put in a few hours a week and eventually created enough income on the side to quit their jobs.

Does it mean you will make more money by working full time as an Affiliate Marketer? No, not necessarily. Unfortunately, a lot of people do NOT work all day long (tell me about it… I AM that guy!) and tend to…ahem… Write Blog posts, give away all of my knowledge while taking away from my work (yes, I know…), etc.

But I love learning things and showing people the “easier” way to learn it…

So, hopefully you’ve been learning from this stuff and as we grow – I’ll be teaching more and more and eventually this blog will be used by a lot more people who take this stuff serious! =)

DON’T QUIT YOUR DAY JOB JUST YET!

Focus on Building slowly and the future will look a lot more enticing, financially.
