Oh how I wish....and dream to be a Super Affiliate. There's only a handful of truly SA who actually made it. Choosing the right affiliate programs such as those on Clickbank are deemed reliable as Clickbank pays the commission.
Then there's the various marketing methods such as list building, ezines,
ppc, classifieds, banners, etc...etc. Until recently, the buzz word to achieve SA status (hopefully) is to preview/review Affiliate programs.
I refuse to give up and still keeping my dreams alive. However, meantime I need money to survive. This has drive me to explore other online opportunities. That was eight years ago.
Yes, affiliate marketing is the easy way to get started online. It is also hard work and marketing outside of the box. Creative marketing and basically choosing the right affiliate programs, etc.
I am still far from becoming a Super Affiliate and hope to learn a few additional tricks which hopefully will help me to get there.
best wishes
