    Millions? Most affiliate marketers don't make any money. It takes time to earn trust online and you must write content that will make someone want to click on the link you provide so they can buy the product you are promoting. That's all the advise I'd give. Write great content but that's not enough . . . write to sell. Every review or article you write should be crafted purely to sell something and your call to action should do exactly that. Sounds simple on paper but can be pretty hard which is why so many affiliate marketers make no money at all.

    Realistically, you are not going to be making millions with affilliate marketing unless you are a big internet celebrity. The best general advice I could give you is to find a niche that attracts a lot of paying customers. Also, Quality is more important than quantity when it comes to website views.

    I avoid affiliate marketing at all costs because it is a lot of work with very little pay, unless you are one of those gifted people that just gets lucky. You are better off selling actual product or writing for a living. If you are going to write, you really do have to write to sell. It can't be what you want to write about, but what is going to make you money in the end.

    That is the sad truth about affiliate marketing. The money is definitely not in the millions range whatsoever. That's just life.

    Maybe the better way to earn those thousands is to tell people you know how they can make $500 or so a day from affiliate marketing. Actually most of those self-declared internet marketers do that on Warriorforum. They sell Ebooks [about internet marketing] to any suckers looking around the site. And I'm sure they actually do make some good cash selling the lies.

    I guess by now people have caught on such lies...people are more keen and awake in the face of lies to allow themselves to be lied to...unless one is a professional con then they might get away with murder in that regard :)

    The scammers prey on those who haven't heard of these scams. Every year, there are thousands of new internet users. These are fodder for those "smart marketers" who want to make some swift cash. All they do is tell them there's cash to be made. We have all the information you need to make good cash online in this Ebook and it costs only $10. We'll offer you a discount if . . .

    Most people [who haven't heard of these scams] would fall for that. They've heard that people make money on the net after all.

    honest answer, as a analyst and trader, still millions are far away from me, but , I check my profit in percentage of my investment or offer my clients perfect secured plan according to their investment. there is always risk in trading, but How to reduce risk , need financial planning, you must not invest all your money in 1stock, 1sector or only in equity. results 30-60% returns on monthly investment, can't offer me still millions but, enough to make me smile.
