There are a lot of ups and down in affiliate marketing, but when you start with good support, and the right frame of mind, you can make a lot of money. You have to be persistent. And later, when you start making money, you can buy the tools to make your work easier!

I'm there with you on that sinking feeling. Kinda SUCKS doesn't it !

Bring back the good ol days of Adsense. I say.

However, isn't it nice to know that we all go through the the same thing – meaning you're not alone – been there done that – bought the book and the T-shirt..

I think that you really do have to keep positive otherwise, you can really get sucked into a black hole, where one disappointment adds onto the next and the next and then you find that no matter what you do, you just don't seem to be able to win.

Take time to refocus. Focus on something that you think will make the biggest difference to your business, like "cracking Adwords", or "a way to find the best converting offers", whatever, then focus on that one thing and find a way to do it.

Wow, you have bad days where you only make a few thousand?

Man I'm living in a different world to you.

Although I do know the feeling of getting up and checking my stats, and seeing that they're way down on where they'd usually be,

I get that sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach….

As with anything, you should expect ups and downs. Affiliate marketing though definitely isn't for the faint of heart. It's definitely important not to let the bad days get you in a rut, but rather to learn from them. I've yet to try affiliate marketing yet. I'm tempted though, but I know I just don't have the focus with so much going on in my life.

In regard to one of your responses though Jonathan, I think weekends tend to be lower all across the board on the web. I generally find that I have about 25% less visitors on the weekends.

I've read a few books on this, but I didn't know that a few months later I would find out exactly the same; just in a few sentences:) Thanks

Everything has ups and downs, our attitude to them makes a difference

Yea… good point for sure.

For example, weekends for me have always just been lower days…
