I think the reason why many affiliate marketers fails is due to just merely promoting affiliate links without even showing the benefits of those affiliate products.

Ideally, people hate buying anything through affilaite links. So, I recon most important thing every affiliate marketer should do is select a concept, talk about that concept in details and then recommend any affiliate product.
