Affiliate marketing? My next big opportunity?

A door which will lead me to financial freedom will soon be open. Since I am very tired of doing SEO just to make money, I shall do SEO on my own which I have a new attracted scheme. This is already old and has been practiced for many years already. I'm now talking about getting involved in affiliate marketing. With affiliate marketing, I have chances to generate revenue and sales from the products I promote. SEO is part of this exciting scheme as I guess, but I'm not a noob of affiliate marketing, instead I just didn't apply my skills in affiliate marketing to my blog and didn't manage it well. Of course the most challenging when it comes to affiliate marketing is doing search optimization. I hope that affiliate marketing will be my biggest opportunity ever, especially doing SEO to my blog or website which affiliate products I've promote are on it.
