Are you making money online? Are you trying to use affiliate programs to do it? I have a number of affiliate programs for my products and the statistics are rather interesting. I’ve found that only about 1 out of 100 affiliates make a significant amount of money. So if you are not making money using affiliate products, you are not in the minority.

But why is that most affiliates don’t make much money? After all, I am selling the exact same product as my affiliates and I make lots of money. I believe the main difference is two fold, traffic and patience.

Most affiliates realize that they have to send traffic to their merchant’s site and begin to do so making an earnest effort. They will continue to send traffic for a week or two. If they don’t see any results right away, they get bored, disappointed, disgusted (you choose the word). At this point they stop working on the program and that is their down fall.

On average, most products will achieve about 1 sale for every 100 visitors that see the sales page. If an affiliate works hard for 2 weeks, he may have sent just 70 people to the merchant’s site. Under those circumstances, I would not expect that he would have made a sale (unless he is lucky).

To achieve success as an affiliate, you have to stick with a program and track your results. It is important to know how many people that you are sending to your merchant. If you send just 50 people there, don’t get disgusted with the product. Work harder and send more people to the site.

It is only through diligent work (and patience) that you will be successful with affiliate products on the Internet. I once sent 350 people to an affiliate site and didn’t get 1 sale. Just as I was about to give up on the program, I made 4 sales in 1 week and made very good money.

So if you have not made money with affiliate products, keep working and send people to the merchant’s site. Use the knowledge that only 1 in 100 people make a purchase to your advantage. If you’ve only sent 80 people there, use that as an incentive to increase the traffic to your merchant’s website and you might be pleasantly surprised by the income you can earn.
