Affiliate Marketing Secrets

I have used my hobbies to help bring in a little extra cash. Such as house plant and perennial work. But it doesn’t bring much in.
I have looked into freelance writing. I have done many articles for news papers etc… for free. But have never been paid for freelance as of yet.
Also I have seen for example: If some one is into photography and desk top publishing, some have ran photo contest for the best looking child, pet etc… There may be a charge to enter. But that is where they get there pay out money for first prize.
Others have let people enter there own photo to see if they qualify to be published. Regardless of how great the photo is, the person running the business says, your photo qualified. If you want a copy of the published book that contains your photo the price is insane. Could be $35.00 or even $80.00 for the published book. That is how the publisher makes the money.
What have you found that you have fun with and make money at the same time.
NO SPAM PLEASE!
No chain letters, stuffing envelopes or sending out fancy magazines with the promise of making a fortune. I do know that some people make money with affiliate marketing etc… But only people that are really computer trained have luck with that kind of thing.
I look forward to real answers. Not the empty promises of making money with a secret spam program that makes people so rich they can buy new boats, homes, cars etc… That is fraud!

I am trying to research what affiliate programs are and how they work, I know of googles programs, but I am not sure what they are and how they work, if anyone can point me in the right direction, that would be great.

i work and reach minimum $3 payout and monday last week it is written payment: $3 to paypal but i check my paypal account their is no balance or zero balance..
is this fooling me or the money goes to affiliate because i type in fast code!!! when i sign up.
i want to try if it really pay before i really start a program!!

– I feel such a loser and a failure in life, because, in our swimming class, I’m the only one who couldn’t dive, I was afraid since our coach said that there’s a possibility that your face will hit the floor if you didn’t dive correctly and when I try, it ends up as water enters my nose, I’m afraid to drown or to bleed in the pool, and I also couldn’t play basketball, or drive a car, or ride a bike, people might make fun of me I mean even small children and women can do these things and also I feel like a Jack of all trades but master of none, I can do a lot of things, but I don’t think I’m good at any of them, I’m having problems about choosing a career in college since I don’t know what I really like and what I’m good at.
– I have stories which might never get published and be out in the market since I get shy, that people might laugh at my work, my stories even if they are good might be a family secret, I just fear criticism since it would hurt my feelings, there’s nothing to be excited about if works don’t get published since I wouldn’t know if they are admired or not, I just fear my stories to be ridiculed and despised by others.
– I think no one would care for me in the future since I have no siblings to be with, I’m getting tired of my parents and I wonder if other teenagers feel the same way towards their parents. I feel like being independent from them and I’m sick and tired of them because they’ve been with me for many years and it’s the same people again I’ll live with for more decades. I want other people to live with and if possible, I would want my neighbors, classmates, teachers, or relatives to be my new family so I’d feel what it’s like to be with them every day since I’ve had enough of my parents being the same people I live with for so many years. Siblings might do better since a sibling is almost as old as you and you both have the same interests with that person and you’re of the same level since parents generally are higher than their kids
– I wouldn’t get married since I stated that I get tired of people who’s always with me every day for so many years and I’m sure I’ll get tired of my wife and kids if I get married and nurture my family after about 10 years. It’s the same since people usually both go on trips, eat dinner, celebrate new year, with their parents, wife and kids and sometimes I wish I would get to do those things with other people like my cousins, or friends If it’s possible to live with them like family. No one would take care of me when I get old and worse, nobody might bury me or cry at me when I die and since I didn’t want to marry, I’ll be alone for many decades with no one to talk to and spend special occasions with.
– I’m not very rich, which is why I feel insecure being with relatives or classmates richer than me, I’ve never been to other countries, not even distant places in my country, only to places we can drive at. We can’t even afford it but other people can, which is why I feel like being the least among my family and friends. I feel like I’m out of place if I’m the only one who can’t afford something expensive but others can. Many people go to starbucks every weekends, go to world class resorts and have many expensive watches, shirts, shoes, or pants but I’m not that rich to be able to do all those things
– I don’t have any best friends, I have friends but I’m not close to them. I’m not a fan of very intimate relationships like girlfriends or best friends. I normally leave people alone if there’s nothing to do with them or any topic to discuss about. I don’t spend like every second of a day with a friend as in you’re staying with them even if you don’t do anything together. I usually leave them after a few minutes and go to other friends after there’s nothing to do with them.I just don’t spend the whole time with just one person who is very close to me, I spend a few times with lots of people and would be alone after there’s nothing to do with them.
– I usually complain about my life it’s been years since I wanted to find a way not to study and never to work. If I don’t study or work, I’ll be poor and couldn’t support myself when I grow up. I have an inconsistent behavior in life when I complain about life’s challenges and feel like quitting or failing and to persevere in order to overcome life’s obstacles. There are times when I seem to focus on the flaws of life on what makes it awful and when I focus on the beauty of life and what makes it a treasure. I guess I’m just naturally lazy and I just can’t imagine spending like 40 years at work. 10 years at school is mundane enough for me, how about 40 years at work where there are more responsibilitities and duties and where things become harder. I just sometimes think I can’

I need to have a student loan for 50,000. I applied to both of the lenders that my university works with and both denied me but said I would be approved with a credit worthy cosigner. I have excellent credit in the 800’s. I’m only 24. i own a quiznos franchise. i have a bachelor’s degree. why can’t i get this loan for nursing school? i tried to get it from a few other banks, however, most only work with schools that they are affiliated with, which means i pretty much have to go with the people my school offers salliemae or wells fargo. the only reason i could think of y i might not be able to get the loan is because i am a guarantor on my 50,000 dollar business loan for my corp.
is there anything i can do? is it anyway possible for me to be able to get a loan on my own? i even tried to get it for less money, and still denied. and i have no one to cosign for me. can anyone out there advise me or give me any info whatsoever???

Is it better to join an affiliate network or is it better to do all of the work yourself and directly
join each individual company’s affiliate program?
