Yes, true, if you Google internet marketing/affiliate marketing you will see mostly the word scams coming out as the search results. But this should not worry you, be prudent and shrewd to start your work from basics and no one can scam or take away your precious money. So this is not a reason for you to hate Internet or Affiliate marketing.
2.) YOU have overload of information on that:
So many people, so many websites, so much of information. You are definitely in a lot of confusion to decide whom to follow. I can suggest you some way unless you consider this also as another overload of information. Follow people who have achieved success and not just who talk in Millions but nothing in reality. Identifying such successful person in work from home opportunity is the tough thing and once that is done BINGO this not a reason for you.
3.) YOU hate computers to the core:
I am not going to say without computer you can EARN FROM INTERNET. But, that is not all if you are innovative, technology is not a problem. Today things have become much simpler in the click of a button right from designing your website. So this is definitely not a reason for you.
4.) YOU don't have a passion to sit in front of a computer for long:
If you have passion to make money this issue will not come in front of you and remember this is a system of permanent income stream with some tweaks here and there now and then. So, you are mostly at the winning edge with little time in front your computer. But, for the initial period 100% you have to spend lot of time in front of your computer to make yourself famous. So this is not a reason this is an important STEP.
5.) YOU don't think its a long term income stream:
As told in previous point this gives you a long term earning provided you do modifications and tweaks here and there at regular intervals of time. Once you stabilize your "earning from internet" business you will have regular income coming in. Change it then and there to give huge returns. So, this is also not a reason for you to think Internet marketing is not your cup of TEA.
So you could see to yourself that these are no way near to stopping you from starting affiliate marketing or any kind of internet marketing. Keep your first step in the right direction and start earning.
One could very well surpass all those stated above by following a proven system and a well established person in Internet marketing. Often its told that Internet Marketing and in particular affiliate marketing is comparable to cooking. There will be a recipe given by a predecessor who earned millions and its our duty to just follow the recipe step by step without trying to question much logic behind it.
