My First Affiliate Marketing Post

Well I'm in no way considered a Super Affiliate (yet), but I'll definitely give it a shot.

My work with affiliate programs goes back quite a few years. I first put together an Internet Access Review website in 2002 and began testing numerous affiliate offers. I can honestly say I did not 'rake it in'. However, it helped supplement my web hosting costs and bought a few lunches... which came in handy during the college days.

As time went by, I lost focus and let the site just sit.... quickly the profits dropped to zero. I still have the site, however with the competition in that market, it is not likely that I'd revive that site to great success.

Just a few years ago, I began to pickup on the Affiliate Marketing game once again. This time, I started reading blogs and forums quite often to get a better feel for the industry. I can say, there are quite a few characters in the industry.

However, reading blogs and forums can only get you so far. It is truly focusing, testing and researching that will move you up the Affiliate Marketing ranks.

I will follow-up with a post on a few simple things I have learned through my Affiliate Marketing journey.

Website Ventures Could Pay For Lunch

I have spent most of the past 4 years just channel surfing the internet, why... well previously I wasn't quite sure. Maybe there are a few classes I should take to overcome my internet addictions. But overall I feel that I have gained so much knowledge, some random, and have often attempted to become a quick online millionaire myself. However, I spend much of my time like a fat kid with ADD and feel like I want to follow all my bright ideas but have yet to honestly finish a project as I intend. Is it because I am bored? Am I lazy? I would probably say neither. Between myself, Brendon and my other friends, I think we all have a drive to create and creatively think about products on a constant basis. I suppose if I were filthy rich, I could afford to draw out my plans and hire others to complete them. Until then, I will keep many irons in the fire.
