I’m really getting irritated with the general attitude of e-mail marketers lately. E-mail marketing is a wonderful and effective way to promote products, but that doesn’t mean that you need to blast your mailing list every single day. I have some marketers that hit me up more than once a day, and it’s nothing short of infuriating!

The people at the other end of the e-mail addresses are still people, and it’s unlikely that they appreciate the multiple e-mails they receive every week about the same product launch or “hot deal”. What most e-mail marketers forget is that these people are going to respond based on logic, emotion, and common sense.

Wow… what a journey it has been to get to this point.

Over the last 18 months, my perception of affiliate marketing has changed dramatically. Like many others, I started off as the result of a misaligned eBook purchase. I began to promote ClickBank excessively, having no success and no luck. In fact, I wound up owing AdWords $108.48 after eight months.

Eight months, and no profit. Kind of discourages someone, huh?

Not me. I have since branched out, networked with other marketers and people who can contribute to my success. I don’t sell or promote eBooks, and I certainly wouldn’t create my own.

No, several thousand dollars in commission and several months of my time have taught me many things. By no means am I a millionaire internet marketer, but I believe that I will be one day. I’ve learned that all it takes to become one is a bit of luck, persistence, and a good idea or two.

And hey, I’ve got plenty of those.
