Don't give up. Keep going... Choose the products carefully. Some convert more and some need lot of traffic to generate few sales. If it's too costly, it might convert less but then it also depends on the sales copies... Best of luck.

That sort of return, and a lot more is easily achievable. As others have stated, the key is to choose the right product(s), write good sales copy, re-write it, and re-write it again until it converts, and be prepared to loose some money initially. You won't get it right straight off the bat, and if you're paying for traffic, then that will cost you money, but with perseverance and constant monitoring and adjustments, you'll get there!
It's possible. A lot of trial and error. In the past, I would launch a website and hope that it eventually would make money. Now I've changed my perspective and if things don't work, I either take the site down or revamp it. More importantly, when I plan a website I also plan for how it can be profitable. Having more than one revenue stream is a key to this.
Definitely give it time. One of my most successful affiliate programs was one I almost dropped after 3 months of no conversions. Then one day a check arrived in the mail. It wasn't much, just one conversion, but it helped me realize the potential AND that this program was legit and paid out. So I kept at it and eventually it became a solid regular revenue stream for me.
I think earning legit affiliate income is hard work i have been trying a long time and got to about $600 that is it but i am hoping this will be my year to get $1000 wkly
When I decide what affiliate program to choose I want first that have great product, superb support 24/7, weekly payout, state of art system. And you can make really good money with real affiliate programs
What affiliate programs have you tried promoting and how were you sending them traffic? Perhaps if you answered these two questions, we could actually offer suggestions!
Yes, I am making that sort of money creating content sites with UNIQUE content. Not PLR's, not software generated, not grabbed from Goarticles or Ezinearticles. Handwritten unique content is the best way to go.
