Are Affiliate Marketing E-Books Wrong?
Everyone seems to understand that affiliate marketing can be really profitable, but statistics tell us that less than 1% of the total affiliates are breaking-even, let alone profiting in this insanely competitive market. The mass majority of affiliates do not earn any commissions and might still be paying marketing costs!

It is also worthwhile noting that there have been hundreds of e-books written on affiliate marketing. Even though these books provide unique and measurable methods to make money online, most internet marketers still find it impossible to make any money.
I have been checking many affiliate product websites and they have a lot in common: Their sales page has pictures of expensive cars and homes, a proof of earnings such as checks showing 5-figures etc and an easy ebook that you need to follow in order to get rich. All this makes sure that their visitors convert at a high percentage and that the authors make a lot of money. Greed is always a powerful motivator.
The author of the affiliate marketing books always try to teach people the right methods. The problem however is that the methods mentioned in the e-book can never be complete. There is no affiliate marketing ebook which tells its readers how to quickly and efficiently get a lot of high-converting traffic to their website. This area of negligence makes it impossible for the reader to make money online.
A lot of affiliate marketing e-books mention try to get quality traffic or your best bet is to get relevant, quality traffic. They just tell you to buy traffic from Adwords, try to rank high in Google or submit your content to social bookmarking websites. But because they cannot pinpoint the exact methods for getting traffic, the whole affiliate marketing becomes useless.
For these reasons, anyone who is new to affiliate marketing will definitely lose a lot of time and money by following the e-books blindly. You can have a fabulous affiliate website but if you have no traffic, you will make no money.
This article is not written to lash out at the affiliate marketing e-book authors. It is simply written to let you know that there is a huge fault or misinformation in these ebooks. That said, you can make a lot of money using affiliate marketing, if you can somehow find quality ways in which you can get efficient traffic.
