Press Release Body: If you've spent any amount of time online pursuing
opportunities to make money online, you know that affiliate marketing associate
programs are very popular.

Affiliate online opportunity programs are very appealing to those looking to make
money while they learn Internet marketing. Affiliate programs are free to join and
easy to sign up for. This makes them especially attractive to moms looking to work
at home and others looking to work at home part time.

In fact, it's so easy to set up an affiliate Internet marketing web site that you'll
find plenty of them online promoting everything from kitchen appliances to online
dating.

There's nothing wrong with this, except the illusion of making easy money with an
affiliate marketing mlm network or any affiliate marketing opportunity is more myth
than reality. Most affiliate web sites make very little money - if any.

Why is this?

I think it's because it's so easy to sign up for a bunch of affiliate programs and
throw them on a web site, BEFORE you learn how to really build and promote a proper
affiliate site that's capable of producing an actual profit. So, unless there is a
real effort to use target marketing and promotion, these sites usually flounder and
fail to attract much attention.

The simple truth is that the Internet is the ultimate information super highway and
most people won't take the time to stop by your little shop of affiliate wonders to
look at all your affiliate links.

Aw, don't be so disappointed.

The truth is that no one wakes up in the morning and thinks to themselves "I'm going
to visit that little obscure site promoting xyz products today and buy a few of
those interesting products they're advertising."

The reality is that most people could care less about your site and your dreams of
making money online with your affiliate programs. No, Most folks are looking for
specific "information" about a product or service and they won't waste much time
surfing around to find it.

So, the web sites that smartly use keywords to write appealing copy for their
affiliate sites, that gives visitors the information they're looking for, will have
a much better chance of attracting visitors. Of course, this also depends on how
nice your site is to look at, and whether it's a virtual affiliate farm or a
legitimate site that promotes a particular niche product.

The best affiliate programs are ones where the vendor (affiliate) also has an
attractive, easy-to-navigate, give-the-customer-what-they-want, and easy to order
type of web site. Also, these vendors are very helpful and supportive to their
affiliates.

Another important truth is that you should resist the temptation to promote lots of
affiliates on your web site. This is the dreaded "affiliate overkill" syndrome. You
should especially stay away from affiliate programs that have absolutely nothing to
do with the theme of your web site - these will not attract any interest from your
visitors.

So, the bottom line truth about affiliate programs is that, although they are easy
to set up, it's really not very easy at all to make money with them. This is true
even if you've done everything right. It takes a lot of patience, tweaking, and
testing to nurture your affiliate site into an income generating profit machine.

But, don't let this discourage you from jumping into the affiliate marketing waters
and getting your feet wet. The more you do, the more you learn
