Thank you SO much for sharing your perspective and you are SO right about why folks fail to achieve… lack of focus, work and persistence.

As to “Happy-talk” you’ll have to visit my personal blog.

Best to you!

You’re right. Paying for pay-per-click (PPC) can get expensive and dangerous for a beginner.

Heck, it can be costly for a veteran as well. If affiliate marketing is your focus (and that can be a wise choice), you should continue paying attention to Rosalind.

Years ago, when I started I made the wise decision to purchase Ros’s Affiliate Handbook. As you already know, she is NOT about get-rich-quick schemes.

She lays out a realistic, proven system (written in a clear, easy-to-understand fashion) for moving forward with affiliate marketing.

I have every update of her handbook, as do my friends. One of my friends who focuses exclusively on affiliate marketing began with Ros’s handbook. Just a few years later, he has left his job & doubled his 9-5 income.

I will admit that at first I was disappointed in the (lack of) happy-talk in Ros’s handbook and posts – I guess I wanted to believe (years ago) in the get-rich-quick possibility…because that’s exactly what others were spewing…and still do.

Wisely, I realized Rosalind moved us forward with solid training and strategy, minus the BS.

I don’t personally know Rosalind or benefit one iota from mentioning this. I am a happy customer who (though I don’t comment much on her site) checks out every email she sends…after 4 or 5 years now.

For 16 years I was a high school teacher and coach. I KNOW teaching and coaching very well. Most “gurus” have no clue how to teach/coach. They sell HYPE and hope you blame yourself for not getting rich as they promised.

focus on lead generation, especially in real estate and credit repair in the US. Once you grasp traffic and conversion (of which traffic is the key component for aff. marketing success) you will put yourself in the driver’s seat.

Clearly, Rosalind continues to be the breath of fresh air among proven doers. She is NOT hype. She (appears to) care about you and me…without seeing us a wallet. As this IM space gets more and more crowded, I am so happy that Ros continues helping people like you and me.

She makes her money DOING exactly what she’s teaching: Affiliate Marketing. She doesn’t have to share this blog with us. She doesn’t have to cut through all the BS out there. She simply could let us waste our time & money figuring this out on out own, especially this “guru” link-building & name-building “scam.”

Good luck to all,
Mike

P.S. If I’ve learned anything in the last 5 years about succeeding on the Internet, it’s this: 1) find and stick with GOOD, HONEST teachers; 2) Stick with it – do “it” every day. Don’t flash around from this shiny object to that shiny object. Most people quit too soon, actually believing in the get-rich-quick babble.
