One of the biggest obstacles the Newbie Affiliate Marketer must overcome is not being focused. This may sound funny at first but as you read along you will begin to understand why it is absolutely critical that you remain focused on the task at hand or you will never succeed as an affiliate marketer.

You have worked very hard to build your opt-in list but don’t think that just because you have a bunch of names and email addresses that it’s going to be a cake walk from here on in. Getting that big list of subscribers was one thing, keeping them will be yet another.

The biggest mistake most newbie affiliate marketers make, and yes veteran affiliate marketers do this too, is that they start bombarding their list with product after product trying to make that fast buck. If you just keep pounding your subscribers trying to sell them stuff they will end up scrolling straight to the bottom of your autoresponder email looking for the unsubscribe link so fast your head will spin.
