Affiliate marketing is not a new nomenclature when it comes to making money online. It has proven to even be in competition with the likes of cryptocurrency and forex. Hardly, can someone list 5 ways of making money online without mentioning affiliate marketing as one of the ways of making money online.


However there are some things that the affiliate marketerting promoters won't tell you about the business. They will always make it seems easier and when you are into it, that's when the reality will be dawned on you. The following are what you need to know about the affiliate marketing program.


Take patience. Affiliate marketing is not your right choice if you are looking for ways of making quick money online. Affiliate marketing takes a lot of patience and hardwork before you can start making money through it. At times, you will when be there for six months without making any dime.



Social media. You can't be a successful affiliate marketer without having acquaintant yourself with social media. Affiliate marketing wants you to be very active in almost all social media for you to promote your marketing links. If you don't have more followers on social media, you may not be making enough money as you have imagined.
 
An affiliate marketer doesn’t get paid a salary; instead, income is based on clicks or sales from a link. This means that one month, sales could be incredibly lucrative and then dismal the next. Like any business, my affiliate marketing business has seen it’s ups and downs. There is nothing worse than putting in a ton of hard work only to see sales decreasing. With that said, over the long-term, my affiliate marketing business has seen steady growth and even exponential growth at times.

The rate at which an investor will make money is always commensurate with the hard work a business owner input while channeling his business. Though only hardwork is not the only ways of achieving this but working smart. But I am not sure it is possible for an affiliate marketer to put in his best and still be experiencing low rate except he's busy doing it wrong.
 
It's definitely important to understand the risks of affiliate marketing before getting into it, and to know it will require upfront work without immediate income. I think that's probably the most misleading thing about affiliate marketing
