It occurred to me recently that most people who are trying to make money at home would be perfectly happy with a small part time income. Of course this will vary from one person to the next, but even $200 a month would be more then most people actually earn.

What is interesting is with the number of affiliate products available on the Internet today, anyone can make $200 a month. All you have to do is find one good affiliate product to promote and then spend all your time promoting it.

So why don’t more people actually make money with affiliate programs? There are a number of reasons for this, but I think you could probably break this down into three primary areas.

1. They pick the wrong niche. There is a reason that niche marketing is so popular today.

The basic idea is that you can take any theme on the Internet and narrow it down to a targeted niche. For example, instead of building a website around the theme of fishing, you could narrow that down to a niche website on salmon fishing in Alaska.

There are three basic ways to make money in affiliate marketing. You can get paid by the click, by the lead, or by the sale.

Any one of these three affiliate marketing business models can earn you $200 a month. I personally do not think you have to be afraid of competitive niches.

As a matter of fact some of the most competitive niches is where the most traffic is. The key is to find other ways to promote your products besides relying 100% on the Internet. You can do other forms of Internet marketing to drive traffic to any affiliate page to earn money.

2. They do not focus on one product. This is a big problem for most affiliate marketers. It is very easy to join an affiliate program, so most people join several.

What you should be doing is finding one good affiliate product to promote and then focusing on making money with that product. Don’t fall for the temptation of the next big thing. Just keep promoting your one affiliate product until you are making the amount of money per month you want to earn with it.

3. They give up too early. I do believe it is harder to make money online then most people think it is.

It is difficult to sit in front of your computer and work when you are not actually making any money. Therefore most people decide that it is not for them and they give up too early.

If you find just one good affiliate product, focus on promoting it, and do not give up too early, you can make an excellent part time income on the Internet today!
