Becoming a Forex Affiliate

Becoming a Forex Affiliate.
It seems like in order to make money online you have to be a successful and rich businessman with programming and web design abilities. Is it true that you need a lot of cash to start your own Forex website? Can you build a website without any programming knowledge? What can be done if web design is not you strongest feature?
The Cost.
First of all, you don't need to be a millionaire to join the vast world of Forex Affiliates. In fact, you can start off nicely with about $150, a computer with internet connection, plus time and willingness to learn about Forex trading. Be prepared that on average it takes at least 6 months before you start seeing the results of your hard work. However, if you manage to stick with it long enough, you will be pleasantly surprised with your monthly earnings.
Working Hours.
The rumors about webmasters working couple of hours a day and make a living are completely untrue. If you are looking for an easy way to make fast cash, affiliate business is not a good choice. Becoming Forex Affiliate is full of stress, decision making, countless hours in front of the computer, endless searches for Forex updates, press releases, news, content writing, article submission, link exchange etc. and at the end of the day when it seems like you have completed all the daily tasks and your eyelids are getting heavy, there is always a pile of more things to do, more emails to answer, more complaints to attend, more requests to fulfill. It is easy to create a Forex website, but difficult to maintain the quantity and quality of information needed to bring visitors.
HTML and Other Scary Words.
What about programming and design? Is there a way around it or you have to learn HTML, CSS, SQL, Photoshop and all kind of other crazy things? It might be a good idea to learn these things at your spare time (yeah right, like you will ever have a spare time now!), however it is possible to create a website without any knowledge of programming or design. Today quite a number of web hosting companies provide free web templates and WYSIWYG web page editors where you can simply copy-paste the elements. In case you decide to learn HTML anyway, there are plenty free tutorials on the net where you can get the basic idea.
First Profits.
I have mentioned the number previously, but I will repeat again - constant and dedicated work is required from you for at least 6 months before you see the first profits. A lot of beginners quit because of disappointment, unjustified hours, too much work and too much responsibility. Forex Affiliates that truly succeed are the ones that dedicate their energy and time to Forex market. They are willing to read, learn and listen. There is no shortcut to easy money. Everything costs in this world, don't ever forget it!
The Passion.
Since your website will be about currency trading, it is important to become passionate about it. Spend time educating yourself about Forex, since focusing on it will help you bring out your best work and content.
Forex trading needs to be your hobby, your obsession, your motto, since this is what you will be writing about reviewing, rating and answering about. If you are on your own, it is important to multitask. Becoming a Forex Affiliate requires you to be a designer, a content editor, an advertising manager, a web master and a creative department! That's a lot of work for one person. If you manage to keep up, you are on the golden path of becoming a successful affiliate.
