With the US economy the way it is and so many people are being laid off, fired or going out of business, many people are looking to supplement their income. Many people are turning to affiliate marketing as they look up make money online in the search engines.

Is It Hard To Make An Affiliate Income?
Depends... If your not familiar with article writing, web pages, html, hosting, servers, marketing, back links, SEO and many other subjects needed to master affiliate marketing, you may have a few setbacks. Affiliate marketers lead you to believe that making affiliate sales are really easy and that anyone can do it in their sleep, but those who make those claims have something to sell. After all they couldn't convince you to buy their information if they said affiliate marketing is hard, includes long hours and you may never make a single sale, but buy my information anyway just in case your one of the lucky ones... right?

The Cold Truth About Affiliate Incomes
I used a method call bum marketing and I was able to go from 0 to over $500 in one month, simply because I understand all these concepts already and can dive right in. The only thing I was missing was the recipe to get free highly targeted traffic. I am not an overnight millionaire and $500 may not seem like much, but many of those who will end up trying to make an affiliate income will never see a penny. I even read a story the other day of a guy who has been at it for over 9 months, who finally gave up because after almost a year of research and development, still never made a single sale. Its possible, actually easy, to make a few extra hundred per month. The dedicated can probably make a living out of it, but many will make nothing and you have to be prepared for any of those possibilities.
