Watched the Hustle (a uk tv program about a gang of grifters) last night, the main theme was that two new members have joined their gang and they are being taught about the long con and how to be a grifter.
What has this got to do with Affiliate marketing? Well the apparently the first rule of being a grifter is never know when you are beaten.They argued about a word ‘Stickability’ is it really a work.
I think this applies equally well to affiliate marketing, you do need a tremendous amount of stickability, results generally do not come quick or with out effort, if you are serous about affiliate marketing you need to be in it for the long term.
You need a certain amount of not knowing when you are beaten, although one has to make sure that you are not digging yourself a nice big hole that you cant get out of. Don’t ever let someone tell you that you can’t. If you have seen a niche or a different angle to approach a subject, go for it and see what happens.
I love the word stickability… ok it isn’t a word but it really portrays the kind of dedication that you need in order to succeed in affiliate marketing.
