What are some of the things you've come to love or hate about Affiliate Marketing??

I was just sitting here reflecting on my experiences with Affiliate Marketing. It has been an interesting ride. You guys have heard some of the stories about the wild wild west days. When publishers could put up crappy ads; let it could run for months with very little optimization and it still would convert. Then came Google slap and FB followed with it's own (stick it to em) shortly thereafter.

Now competition is fierce, which has forced us to be more innovative and creative. I must say this is what I've grown to love about Affiliate Marketing, it's brought out the best in my creativity. What has been your experience?

I agree. Like any business model in the free market, when something becomes more and more lucrative, more and more entrants enter and take advantage of the opportunities that exist.

The good thing is that there will always be huge opportunities, they may just be harder to find because there is more competition.

As you said, creativity and innovation are paramount now. I love it because I am quite a competitor and dont mind putting in the extra work and creativity to put together hugely successful campaigns.

How bnoring would it be if you could make 1k a day without any creativity, optimization, risk, etc. BORING. Big opportunity is still to be had, but will only be had by those willing ot work extra hard and spice things up with some extra creativity.

I love it. Absolutely love it

I agree with you, guys, creativity is the most valuable skill for an internet marketer. Most people can't make a fortune online. Actually, I think that most people can't even make a dollar online. However, creative people can. As everything in life, in the internet marketing world creativity is the only thing that separates the big guys from the crowd, so this is what I really like in this business. Of course, I also enjoy the lifestyle that I have as an internet marketer.

What I hate? It's hard to answer... I think I can say that I hate the scammers, but I have learned how to stay away from them, so this is not a problem for me anymore.

I respect your opinion, but dont necessarily agree with it.

I think MOST PEOPLE CAN make money online and MOST PEOPLE CAN make a dollar online.

But lets make this clear, I think MOST PEOPLE WONT make a lot of money online, but not because they cant....but rather because they dont want it hard enough to work for it.

In my opinion, making money online is relatively simple and within reach of most people who try. BUT, most people give up too soon or dont want it bad enough to keep plugging away.

So I really, honestly feel the opportunity is there for most people to make great money online. But yes, the people who are creative and work hard and want it bad enough can make a fortune.
