People say that learning from our own mistakes is the best form of learning. Because you can hardly forget your hard time you had when you made those mistakes. Something like that just happened to me a few days ago and of course I have learned a lesson.

After much energy spent on so many ebooks and guides on making money, I decided that I should start up affiliate marketing now. Many people are earning quite a good living out of it. A few of my friends who started out on the internet earning ventures are earning quite well from some internet affiliate programs. But I could hardly get enough time out of college and start concentrating on any big program.

Anyway, at last I decided and signed up for an affiliate marketing account. I don’t want to disclose what exactly the affiliate product was but it was having quite good demand in the market and one of my friend was getting lot of sales. Since I don’t have much time to generate traffic of my own, I invested $150 for some targeted traffic and I got back my $150 in two days. I was getting lot of quality traffic and I was really enjoying the kind of progress I was making in that front.

But a few days later, on the day of payout, eager to check my account, I tried to sign in but an error message pop up saying my account has been disabled. I tried sending a lot of emails to their customer care and at last got one reply saying that my Country was not allowed to join the program and he pointed a link to their Terms of Service. Well, I of course missed to read the TOS and that was my mistake.

So, first tip from this mistake: Always read the Terms before signing for any Program in the internet, especially when you are expecting something good!
