Hi all, I'm brand new here. Don't know what took me so long - I've been active in AM for about 6 months and I've heard tons about WW and even heard Brett on Webmaster Radio. Anyway, I'm beginning to have some success with AM and am on my way to 6 figures + in 2007.

I think a major part of what contributes to effectiveness in AM is an ability to create positive relationships with affiliate managers. This has opened a lot of doors for me and allowed me access to tools and information that may not be readily available to other affiliates. I now feel that these relationships are essential to success in AM. At least, my success. If you can prove to your affiliate managers that 1) you can perform, and 2) you can be trusted, things get a lot easier.

Additionally, I think a strong will to reinvest all profits back into growing your business is invaluable, especially for those heavily invested in PPC (100% for me right now). The temptation is there for me to pull some of of the profits out of the business to get a desperately needed new(er) car. I'm not in this for a few dollars or a newer car though - I'm quite confident that I'll be one of the millionaires that affiliate marketing has made.

Finally, I really think that little can be accomplished without some investment in yourself. Exercise, eat right, be spiritual, practice kindness, continue learning. Treat these things as equally important to landing page testing and keyword research, and I think you can make a better go at it :)
