A

is for Affiliate Marketer and it is who we are and what we do. We represent and advertise on behalf of products and services as if they were ours ourselves. We will attempt to sell and up-talk practically anything, whether they be a pet rock, three page e-book, placebo pill re-bill or even something that we don’t really know about.

This isn’t to say that we are dishonorable or unsavory type salesman. We just have a passion and flair for what we do and imbue an entrepreneurial spirit in anything and everything that we do.

If you don’t know what it is to be an affiliate marketer, the first step is to feel the drive to want to be one. It certainly is not for everyone and not many people last into the long haul after they’ve first tried it out.

Many people who do not know or have never been an affiliate marketer attempt to explain away our job as easy, comfortable, and not involving too much work what-so-ever. What they fail to understand is that the majority of us work enough hours to fuel a small country.

Although we work from home, we CONSTANTLY work from home and when we have nothing left to do for the day then we go and find something. Days off, while in our lexicon, usually don’t tend to go like most other people’s days off go.

An affiliate marketer who can go very long while having a day off at home and not feel the need to get back to work is not a successful one. We will work and test and refresh until we can do so no longer. Many of us work until absolute failure and we love it.

Practically no one knows about us because we are a strange breed. The majority of us come from all walks of life and countries and yet we all tend to just understand one another. The conferences and meet ups that we have are anything but raucous calls for celebration and a display of camradarie. We get one another and we work with one another because we understand one another.

A is for affiliate marketer.

And it is who we all are.
