Does Affiliate Marketing Really Work?

Tweet

Social media has not only been my go-to for the people I follow. I like looking into new businesses, possibly ones that penniless hopefuls like myself can do. As I've been out of work for 6 months now, I want to dabble into making money online and affiliate marketing is potentially a lucrative career to get into. But I often wonder if someone like myself from outside of the US can earn dollars. It's easy to fall into the promises of gurus supposedly making $10,000 a month. Then I start wondering if it's all true or if are they simply trying to sell courses. I want to bite into it so bad because even as much as $500 per month is like getting a regular office salary, I could buy a course but I'm broke, not even getting regular $10 for my son's weekly allowance. I could waste my time wondering why my months of job applications have not come to fruition but I have a son to raise and an overzealous mother to appease. This has been the longest time I've been out of work and I don't understand why. I can't keep being dependent on family members even if they do want to help. I will always be grateful to them and for their understanding. So, if you're outside form the US and you've tried affiliate marketing, I could use some advice.
