So excited that that they are lured into many get rich quick schemes. Sadly, I fell for the trap and so have many other marketers that I know. The key is to NOT fall for the hype or B.S. from overrated systems and instead build a business over time. If you want to promote products that make money promote evergreen products that will stand the test of time. Do not focus on "one hit wonders" that will eventually fizzle out. Or, if you are determined to go the "hot product" route balance them with evergreen products that will last over time. By doing this, you will build a solid business.

I, like you, am committed to the "slow and steady" method and have been for a couple of years. I, also like you, spent my first year of internet marketing buying every over-hyped and over-rated system that landed in my inbox. After spending way too much time and money on these schemes I realized that there is no magic method to fast cash online. Sure, you can make $50.00 per week selling a product that is running hot on Clickbank just by posting a few ads on Craigslist and USFreeAds but who can live on $50.00 per week? And all these "hot" items have a shelf-life. You will soon be out in the cold with zero income as these products move from "hot" to "not", unless you devise a plan for long-term income. The best method of attaining that type of reliable income is to devise a plan of action, set some goals that are clear and obtainable and just do it. Don't get disappointed and disillusioned if you make nothing in your first month, that is not what this game is about. People need to know you and trust you before they will buy from you - focus on getting known as a priority. That is very early in my "plan of action" and it probably should be a part of yours too.
