Success in e-business depends upon three factors. Make good products that people need or want... build sites that sell effectively... attract targeted traffic cost-effectively

What does affiliate success boil down to? Let's start... at the beginning!

The number #1 challenge for all affiliates...

Build a Web site...

that builds targeted traffic...

and that causes visitors to click through...

with a warm, open-to-buy attitude...

to merchant sites that you represent.

How?

There is an endless labyrinth of possible software and information/advice offered on the Net. I'm not sure which is worse... the overpriced products that underdeliver, or all the free info available, most of which does not work so it costs you something more valuable even than money... your time.
Best of luck
