I'm really wondering how many affiliate marketers actually visit the forums? Do you really believe that most affiliate marketers fail is partly due to the fact that they don't receive the experience of forums like digitalpoint?
Im my experience most seem to be after a quick buck. Dont want to sit down and take the time to build a profile on forums like this one etc. Theyd rather use the spammy techniques and make a quick buck, which is fine of course, whatever floats your boat
I guess I would be one affiliate marketer to use these forums. There are a few others as well, but you would see a majority of the people on here trying to get a good deal or make a quick buck in the Buy, Sell or Trade forums.
Yes they will visit the forums to network with other people in the busienss so they can make more money.
People fail in affiliate marketing for many different reasons. It is not tied to just one or a few reasons. There are many reasons and forums is likely to just be one of them, but just because some don't use forums doesn't mean that they all fail because of it as that's not correct either. Infact some people fail for actually using the forums because they come so addicted that they do not spend enough time on other things and then end up loosing money rather than gaining it. It's more about time management, dealing with money properly, going in the right direction, etc.
