    Affiliate marketing sounds like it should be easy. Get people to click you links, and you make money! Well, its not quite that easy. It has been estimated that over 90% of affiliates never even make their first sale. Of the remaining 90%, very few are able to make a living on affiliate marketing alone. Knowing why others fail can help to make you successful. So, why do they fail? Here are some of the most common reasons:

You must have another source of income while you get your affiliate business going, and you must continue to work hard.

You must understand the sales process, how to build the web site, and how to get customers to your site. You need to understand marketing enough to know how to pre-sell the customer before you send him to the sales page. Your customer can buy the same product from many different sources, you must convince him to buy it from you.
