An Affiliate Marketer from the Ground Up

If you haven’t heard of Artisteer yet, you will. It’s an unbelievably easy to use, fast, extremely functional program that will have you authoring your own beautiful, original WordPress themes in minutes.

If you opt for the higher priced version of Artisteer, you can also add Joomla and Drupal to WordPress as being supported by the software. Personally, I’m not using Joomla or Drupal presently, so I bought the Home and Academic version. It’s priced very reasonably at $49.95. CodeCharge Studio 4 is also supported in the higher end version, priced at $129.95, and you can also export templates as HTML for use in either version.

I just purchased Artisteer and had I known it’s full capabilities and ease of use, I would have bought it a lot sooner. To say I’m technically challenged is, well, an understatement. With Artisteer I can now create stunning WordPress themes that are original and great looking. For what you would have to pay for a decent premium theme, you can buy Artisteer and create as many as your heart desires. Why not add custom premium WordPress themes to your business model ?

Artisteer was named Product of the Year by Red Ferrett Journal.

Obviously there’s even more scams thrown at you on the Internet than was possible before, when the scammers had limited methods of contacting you. There’s a lot of the same type offers, mainly the ‘get rich while you sleep’ crap, it’s just that you see them by the hundreds per day, versus the few in the newspaper and magazine articles that we older people were once exposed to.

I don’t blame people for trying to earn a living, but I do wonder why some people, even some of the well known, most popular bloggers on the Internet, associate themselves with somewhat questionable products or services. Well, I know ‘why’ they do it, I just don’t think it’s a good move.

Admittedly, I do have quite a few offers on this blog, and I will tell you that I haven’t used them all. I do however, try and pick the ones that I have either signed up with myself, or at least believe to be worthwhile, quality products or services. I would never associate myself with an offer ‘just’ for the money, not if I knew it was a scam, or misleading in any way.

One of the Affiliate Networks I’ve signed on with is LinkShare, I know I can recommend them because they are a very fine company, one of the best by anyone’s standards. I’ve also signed up with Commission Junction, NeverBlueAds, and PepperJamNetwork for the same reason. They’re reputable, and I can recommend them knowing I’m passing along good information.

The reason I brought up LinkShare specifically however, is because I’ve just started to promote another merchant…TigerDirect. Probably most of you have at least heard of TigerDirect, even if you haven’t done business with them. Last year I probably bought five to six thousand dollars worth of computer related products. Probably more than 95% of my purchases were made at TigerDirect. Obviously that wasn’t because I had a vested interest, because at the time, I didn’t. It was only because I knew that I would be getting the best quality products available, at the best prices. One item I didn’t buy from them was a notebook computer, but it was only because, for some reason, I had my mind set on one certain brand/model that wasn’t available at TigerDirect.

I’ll be making a few major hardware purchases this year also, and I can promise you, as always, TigerDirect will be the first place I point my browser to.
