If you are an affiliate or are thinking of becoming an
affiliate in an affiliate program you probably have seen some
statistics like these in the affiliate sign-up understanding:

"Low visitors sites can earn $500 - $1,000 per month, medium
visitors sites might earn $1,000 to $2,000 per month and high
visitors sites can earn $3,000 + per month."

Wow!! Sounds pretty workable.

>From one affiliate code it seems you could be creating over
$3,000 a month just because youre a high traffic page .

Are you a high, medium or low visitors page ? Who knows,
different people have different views about what is high or low
visitors .

You most likely figure you are a medium traffic site or a low
traffic site at the absolute worst.

So just by joining this fantastic affiliate script youll be
earning at least $500 a month and more likely somewhere between
$1,000 and $2,000 a month.

Gee, if you find another couple of affiliate programs like this
youll be banking in extra of $100,000 a year. Yippee!!

Man, lets go for it. Lets sign up NOW!

But what they did not tell you (and its not really their
obligation to tell you either) is that these statistics only
apply to the affiliates that are advertising their affiliate
programs every day.

This is the standard procedure for the average affiliate:

Stick a couple of banners on their page . Wait a few weeks.
No sales come. Join another affiliate code . Stick these
banners on their site. Wait a few more weeks. No sales! Then
they sit back and think affiliate programs are a joke.

But its not the affiliate program. Its the affiliate.

If you utilize the right branding methods that are working now,
and spend many hours a week selling your affiliate programs
then you may be part of the statistics.

But if you expect things to just magically happen with a couple
of flashing banners on your site then you will be sorely
disappointed.

Do not just assume these enticing statistics apply to all
affiliates. Sadly, they do not. Affiliate programs are not the
Holy Grail, but they are an excellent way to obtain a decent
monthly check.

The most amazing statistic is that it is estimated that 90% of
all affiliates earn little or no money at all from affiliate
programs.

Now thats a statistic you do not want to be part of!!
