You may well have have heard of Clickbank and possibly of affiliate marketing and people are making full time income, this article seeks to explore if this is indeed fact or fiction?

First of all lets look at exactly what affiliate marketing is (you may know or read about it before but it is worth keeping this fact in mind as you read this article)

Well, this is basically advertising other peoples products online for a commission of up to 75% by driving traffic to the owners product using your affiliate link generated through your chosen site. Many people use Clickbank as this is considered by most as the largest and number one affiliate site and for the purpose of this article we will concentrate on Clickbank.

Now, let us just look at the some of the examples of claims you might see about affiliate marketing:

“Earn $5000 per month on Clickbank”

“Earn a full time income from”

“Turn you life around and earn $$$$s per month using Clickbank”

You might have seen claims such as these, but is this fact or fiction?

Can you really make a successful, financially rewarding business from affiliate marketing and Clickbank?

Well, I will straight up, totally honest – the answer is basically two fold – YES and NO

Now I wonder what you are thinking??

Well, lets take the NO answer first:

1. NO

The answer no to can you earn a substantial income from affiliate marketing and clickbank will apply to 99% of people.

99% because I believe quite simply that if you embark on this type of business without the proper guidance and support you will not make a great deal of money. You see it is quite simple for anyone to sign into Clickbank but then what next? how do you create your own affiliate links? how do you advertise? where do you advertise? what product should I promote? how can I tell if it is a good product? etc etc etc

To be successful in affiliate marketing and how to use Clickbank to your best advantage I am certain that you need the right guidance and support to get your business of the ground. Again I reckon that this applies to 99% of people. Obviously this is not true of everyone, there may be people who can pick it up with sheer look, skill or whatever but only about 1% or possibly less.

2 YES

There are countless writers out there who dream of someday selling a novel manuscript and being able to make a full-time living as a professional writer or novelist. Just imagine being able to quit your day job and spend your time doing what you love, writing and editing your own manuscripts, attending book reading events, and promoting your work. Many professional writers eventually go on to receive a job as a creative writing professor at a local university, teaching students how to perfect their own craft. It’s a great dream, but unfortunately most amateur writers take the wrong approach to trying to get their work published and become a full-time professional writer. Here are a few tips about using the short story market to perfect your writing, get your name out there and eventually sell a novel manuscript.

First, let’s get a few things straight about publishing short stories. It’s definitely not glamorous, and there’s not a whole lot of money in it. Most literary magazines only give a few bucks to writers for the short stories they publish, so it isn’t going to make you rich. And their readership is usually very low, so you aren’t going to become famous by publishing short stories, either. Sure, there are a few exceptions to the rule that have huge readerships and give big payouts if they decide to publish your work, but getting your writing accepted there is extremely tough, even if you are a superb writer.

So, if the short story market pays so poorly and has such a low readership, why do we suggest that you go there first if you eventually want to become a novelist? Well, there are a three reasons. The first is that the short story market helps writers perfect their writing, and the feedback you receive from editors will help you become a better short story writer and novelist. The second is that it helps you get used to how to actually submit work to editors, and the process that is involved with getting published. And the third is that it will help you build up your writing resume. A publishing company is much more likely to read a manuscript from a writer who has been published in several literary magazines, even if they were small publications.

There is also another reason why getting published in small literary magazines is good for the new writer, and that is it helps bolster your own self esteem as a writer. Even if it is a small literary magazine, there’s nothing like the feeling of seeing your work in print for the first time. When an editor makes a conscious decision to choose your writing over the work of someone else, and publishes it in his magazine, it is a great encouragement. You’ll be able to share your published work with friends and colleagues, and it will make you feel much more legitimate as a writer.

So if you want to be the next great novelist, don’t be afraid to explore the short story market before taking a stab at your first novel. It will help you become a better writer, learn about the submission and publication process, and help you build up a solid resume for potential publishers to look at the next time you submit your writing.

I’m a full-time nanny- so I’d like it to have something to do with children and my great, nurturing care that I offer. I’m just not creative at writing. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!
