It's true some affiliates need to be educated... but... the education should start on some affiliate company's, some affiliate managers, etc.

Hence the ability to adapt. Education is a necessity and beneficial (I have learned a lot from online webinars), but the ability to adapt is crucial! In every field of business not just this one.

Knowledge is just potential power. If you do not succeed in transferring it in results, you only know a lot about ______ (replace with niche) and that's about it.

I don't want to sound rude, but 1 specific example in such article will grab a lot more readers and attention, than general talk. Some like (and that's an advice to all affiliates!) "Do not be afraid to try something different and fail". Based on trail and error you build up knowledge from first experience and that's much more valuable than a third opinion, advice or suggestion.
