I completely agree a list is important, and your own products if you can do it too. @Jen - Exactly, it might not be an immediate windfall but lots of chances of a sale do add up. @Michael - A lot of people don't want to hear the "patience" message, I guess that is why they buy so many "millionaire overnight" courses! @Ted - Indeed, in fact by showing only the best you are demonstrating expertise, and preventing someone making a bad purchase, it is helpful advice. @Jason - The trick is to plant the links in such a way that they are expected and welcome and not forced on the reader just to make sales @Yaro – Yeah I also think Darren has the early mover advantage too, but I still hear about people hitting on untapped niches so they are still out there, it’s just harder to find them.

I've found helpful to go back through older posts that still see some action, looking for mentions of products that I feel comfortable in recommending and then (I use Triggit) adding an aff link to the post, just one more 'seed' planted. :) Affiliate marketing is definitely a matter of planting many small seeds and waiting for them to grow… I’ve found helpful to go back through older posts that still see some action, looking for mentions of products that I feel comfortable in recommending and then (I use Triggit) adding an aff link to the post, just one more ‘seed’ planted. :)

Darren is in a great situation because some of his blogs are so well entrenched in the search engines for hot topics (like cameras) as long as the blog received updates the google traffic keeps coming and some of leaves via affiliate links. Most bloggers won't reach this stage for months or years. In my case it's because of my email list that I can earn consistent affiliate income and again that was not something that was established over night. Diversification is the key for bloggers. However if you are going the fully fledged Internet business path, selling your own products as well, affiliate income can be the icing the cake on top of a steady stream of income from selling your own stuff.
