What is the best way to jump into affiliate marketing. I know patience is a key in this business, but I don't have much of that. I am determined to find a starting point and go from there, but I don't know where to start. I have to find my niche (that's hard) and then study it and create something from that. But I'm just struggling with starting. Am I making sense? I need to start making this work. I have to start making money. Living paycheck to paycheck sucks.

Well I can't tell you what to choose as your niche but I can tell you what my over anxous self did wrong so you don't make the same mistakes. I never took into account how hard it is to get the search engines to like you. I just built unique content that the search engines didn't pick up. Big waste of time. You MUST have take seo into account as your building to save yourself time in the end. I'm on unemployment right now and racing the clock till it runs out so I can relate but anything promising overnight success will take you down the wrong path and waste more time and money.
I hear you about the paycheck-to-paycheck thing. Affiliate marketing is a great solution to that, but as mentioned, it does take some patience. But look at it this way: If you decide not to pursue it because it takes time, time will pass anyway, and next year at this time, you'll either 1) be mad at yourself that you didn't do it because you could have been doing pretty well by now, or 2) be pleased with yourself because you are reaping the rewards of patience. Which will you be?
