I have to agree, Ed.
Affiliate marketing only works for the lucky few.
The thousands of hours I spent reading and studying and applying the lessons had no effect.
The hundreds of books I read on copywriting, coding, design and marketing - not worth the paper they were printed on.
The thousands of dollars I invested in learning PPC - money down the drain.
I thousands of blog articles on affiliate marketing I read - not worth a single penny.
The jobs I took to learn affiliate marketing from the inside, even though I could have got more lucrative paying jobs - total waste of time.
The hundreds of SEO experiments I did on my own time and coin - didn't learn a single thing.
The days of going to a normal job followed up by at least another 8 hours online at night time and then at least 14 on Sat and Sunday for several years - that has nothing to show.
The hundreds of marketing experiments in article writing, online video production, blogging etc etc - I should have spent my time drinking beer.
You are right, Ed.
The only way I have ever made any money in this game has been total luck.
