    Affiliate markeing isnt easy, it takes time you need to find the right target market you need to work out how to target them. Sure no ones going to tell their secrets if their making good money I know I wouldn't.

    I am more a ppc person but ive tried a bit of affiliate marketing here and their and its is not easy it takes some more and you need to know what your doing.

    we can not say its dead but it time consuming job, so never waste your time and neglecting your studies even you can do it in your part time if your are not involved in any kind of job.

    Hi John,
    I'm not a senior member, but I can tell you that... No, affiliate marketing isn't dead and yes... you can make a lot of money from it, if you do it right. Try to find an untapped niche to work in with less competition. This can be difficult, but if you do enough research you'll definitely find one.
    Muqtada is right - it can be very time consuming, so you might want to finish your studies first before you get into IM full time.
    I hope this helps.

    John,

    Affiliate marketing is far from dead. The old ways of doing it may be dead though. It's important to stay on top of what's hot and whats not hot- that goes for finding products to promote and the methods that are working to promote them.

    I sent you a PM to offer you some help. I am not trying to sell anything either... I'm just a guy that remembers when I was new to this stuff at one point, so I know how it feels. I think I've even asked myself the same question you are asking a number of times!

    Check out your PM, and feel free to fire back at me with any questions you may have.

    Many companies continue to consider an affiliate progam as a very important part of their internet marketing strategy.

    First of all, thanx for all those sincere advices from you guys i am really enjoying dp a lot.yeah i to think its not dead but getting to the latest methods is biggest challenge as it really takes a lottttttt of time to get there.I tried to take some mentor help but i think all those people who tells that they will teach you from scratch and step by step are just giving there old non working methods.I just hope that i will reach you guys some day.
    Once again thank you for all your advices.

    John,

    In the message I sent you, I mentioned the Thirty Day Challenge. I may be new to this forum, but I guarantee that if you ask around about the 30dc (just to confirm what I'm telling you is the truth), they will tell you that it's perfect for someone like you.

    When you said mentors promise to teach you step-by-step with old, non-working methods, you've definitely never given the 30dc a try. Just do a google search for the names of Ed Dale and Dan Raine. That's all the convincing you should need.

    If you decide not to give the FREE Thirty Day Challenge a try, good luck- and enjoy spending 50$ a piece on e-books that are written by authors using the stuff that they learned in the 30dc for free.

    You are more than welcome John. This will be my 4th year doing the challenge and I learn something new every year. Once you get deeper into the preseason training and you start looking for a team, drop me a PM. I have a couple of pretty good people on my team and we would be more than happy to have you join us.

    I guess more than half of the people on the internet use affiliate marketing to further their online revenue and so it is in fact alive and kicking!

    Different things work for different people and so you got to find out certain products and methods that work for you and concentrate all hog in making it turn into money spinner for you! :)
