One of the first things that needs to be debunked is the idea that all affiliate marketers get rich. This is by far the furthest from the truth. In fact less than 3% of affiliate marketers make it to the break even point. It would be extremely easy to blame the lack of fortune on affiliate marketing itself. Unfortunately that is not true, because affiliate marketing is not the problem.
The problem is not affiliate marketing, it is more the misinformation on the internet that leads people to believe that it is 1) easy and 2) a get rich quick scheme. I have often had a need to repeat myself: Affiliate marketing is marketing and marketing is a lot of work. Good marketing won't get you rich quick, only great marketing will.
