my early affiliate marketing adventure

One of the first thing I did was I went to Barnes and Nobles to see if there are books written about affiliate marketing. I found one in the entire bookstore and it's called "Affiliate Millions". I bought the book and spend the next day reading it. After I did some initial research, which is about 40 hours of learning and researching, I launched my first affiliate marketing campaign. I launched this small campaign on a weeknight around 5pm. When I woke up the next morning, there is $2.40 in my affiliate marketing account!

I'm one of those people who celebrate all the little success. I was really encouraged by this $2.40, so I decided to do more reading and researching. Until this day, I'm still learning. I'm learning about how to get traffic, SEO, internet marketing and more. I really wish I have all the time in the world on this subject but I don't. I have a house, a lovely family, a good husband, an adorable son, a business with many different services, you get what I mean. I got a lot to joggle.

At this point, you might be wondering what exactly is affiliate marketing? Well, basically it's selling other people's stuff or service online. They pay you a commission. You mean a salesman? yes and no. Yes, that you do have to promote other people's stuff. No, you don't have to do any cold calls.

Anyways, the book"Affiliate Millions" did give me a good introduction on affiliate marketing. Leave me a comment if you are interest to hear more about this topic or if you are currently also in affiliate marketing.

What really pushed me to finally blog is the movie "Julie & Julia". It's a great movie. It inspired and encouraged me a lot and again, that's really what pushed me to start writing.
