A year ago, I was running around like a chicken with it’s head cut off.  I was trying every offer, trying every network, and just throwing shit up on the wall and hoping that it sticks.

Sooner or later, you start doing things in a more systematic way.  It sort of becomes second nature to you.  You know the network you want to use, you know the niche, you know the offer, you know the keywords you want to use, and you know what your landing page needs to look like even before you start that campaign.

I wasted a ton of time on reading shitty blogs and useless forums, trying to find that magic bullet.  If you want to make serious money, quit reading them “Make Money Online” blogs.  They don’t teach you shit about affiliate marketing.   All those blogs do is give the fucking blogger an ego boost with “Oh look!  I just added another RSS reader”

Here is what you need to do if you are serious about making it in the affiliate marketing world.

1. Go read and don’t make any dumbass comments on Wickedfire.com – this place is filled with  Treasure Trove of information.  After reading that, if you still cannot make it in affiliate marketing, go back to your job at McDonalds.

2. Below are must read(s) blogs without wasting time and just dreaming about making it in the affiliate jungle -

  1. Nickycakes
  2. Profitapolis
  3. Convert2Media Blog
  4. Adhustler
  5. Cash Tactics
  6. Diorex (He does not update it often, but read his old posts)
  7. PPC.bz – your Shamwow hq.

3. Sign up with Networks that will make you money and possibly hold your hand (for a sexual favors) if you are a newbie.  I know for sure that these networks don’t scrub your leads and rape you of your commissions.

  1. Ads4Dough – I have written about this network before.  Just a top notch network run by Jason (Smaxor).
  2. Convert2Media – Ruck knows his shit and will help you with tweaking your lps and your campaign to get them profitable.
  3. Copeac – These guys have offers that pay like a mofo and convert just as well.  You need to get on with them for the exclusive offers.

There are other networks that I can list, but then you would just be wasting your time and money.
