Top 15 affiliate marketers to watch out in 2015

How many hours a day you work setting, building, writing content for your blog.
Let me guess, you work very very hard building relations, making quality content, with high-quality images/ graphics, but still your hard work never pays off.
Even promoting content through every social media platforms is not your game.

Zero traffic ,
Zero conversions ,
and most importantly ZERO sales …

You are frustrated by reading every top big blogs on affiliate marketing, searching google for ways to build traffic and increase sales.
Let me tell you, if you are the type of person who want every penny of his hard work, then start working your butt-off.
Even some bloggers (generally new) have a misconception that affiliate marketing is very easy and they can get rich through it alone.
But on the contrary successful affiliate marketers work very hard (take 10-16 hours a day) that means 70-112 hours a week and not just hard work they are true geniuses, they know market and how to convert products into money making machines to generate huge amount of cash.
For some of you who knew nothing about affiliate marketing let me give you a simple definition :



Affiliate marketing is a marketing practice in which three players are involved,
First one is Publishers who publishes products on his blog/ site and earns small commissions per sale.

Second is Advertisers who owns the product, it may be a companies product or just an ebook.

And finally the consumer who will buy that product, this is important because if there is no consumer there will be no commissions and the whole system get disturbed.

So now lets look at some of the top 15 affiliate marketersin 2015.
