few give away their "secrets" 

few give away their "secrets"

Without the whole picture you can only get scraps of clues, how you piece them together makes the difference. What one person iterprets as pure gold another sees as useless because of their own filters and frames of reference. I think there are lots of great strategies that have been provided in previous threads but I think even knowing just some of the details does not guarantee success. For example people can even say "affiliate offer **** has made me a fortune". They really have made a fortune out of it, they have told us not only the niche but the actual *product*.

What they dont tell you is that, say, the loophole they exploited has been closed, or exactly how they managed to get traffic to the offer, or maybe perhaps how they found keywords that got a great conversion rate while the competition made zero sales, etc.. If I was to follow their lead I wouldnt make any money, just because I can find an offer that should work in the way someone describes and even if I manage to drive traffic to my link does not mean that people will buy in the hordes making me more money than I spend on promoting it.

I have been talking to a great guy who made his money "email marketing", all the people he helped are now his comepetition and he got into the game the same way. I currently make .. well .. *lose* money but I can understand people not wanting to share. He is quite philosophical about it, probably because he knows he will always be one step ahead.
