Yes...

[Joseph Ratliff]

Yes affiliate marketing is a valid business model...
Yes it does require that you work hard...
Yes it requires marketing skill...
Yes it requires the ability to sell and persuade (not illegally, unethically, or immorally however)...
Yes it does take some time to build an affiliate marketing business...
Yes you will have competition in niches that make money...
Yes you will have to do things better from time to time...
Yes smart competitors will be watching what you do...
Yes you could make excuses, whine, or worry about "how hard this is"...and yes you could give it all up.

So...

Can you do this? Yes. Will you do what it takes?

yes you could give it all up

It's Friday. I worked today on about 4 hours sleep. I'm thirsty and hungry but if I want to eat I'm going to have to cook.

Giving it all up looks attractive at moments like this....
