An Affiliate Marketer from the Ground Up

It is a natural law that like causes always produce like effects,
and, therefore, any man or woman who learns to do things in
this certain way will infallibly get rich.

I've always believed things happening for a reason, and things being destined to happen.

I originally heard this woman's amazing story quite a while back, but never even went to her Website to learn more about her, or the event that 'accidentally' made her, and continues to make her, a very large sum of money.

I'll let you read the story from her (Rebecca Fine) and you'll see how something totally unforeseen changed her life immensely. It was the act of a stranger sending her a book written in 1910 that brought her lots on money, and helped her start her hugely successful online business.

The book was in the Public Domain meaning that she was basically able to do with it what she wanted, especially profit in her case.

Oh, by the way...you can download that same book in PDF format free from her site. It's not a very big book, she calls it a 'guide', but it contains some very powerful information that I think everyone should read. Especially if you need more money in your life.

Click here to go to her Website, and to download the book for free...there's no purchase necessary.

Remember, the book is yours to print, and to give out to family and friends.

P.S. You can get a copy of the Affiliate Masters Course that Rebecca Recommends by clicking here (it's free).

You know, for some reason you hear more of the same old sayings around marketing people than in any other field I believe.

I just got through seeing 'analysis paralysis' again for the 345,23 time in a few months. Okay, maybe not exactly, but probably close.

I guess I'm pretty slow...I'm just now figuring out I'm slow, so I have to be REAL slow. For some reason it just hit me when I saw that phrase the last time. It's about me.

I always thought I was actually staying busy, getting things done, but I really noticed that I mostly waste time jumping from one thing to the next. Don't get me wrong, I'm better than a lot of people that never do ANYTHING other than read, hang out in forums, and maybe actually buy some hosting (but never put up a site).

I have got several sites going, and I've even got some domains waiting with a couple projects 'in the works', right. They'll get done...eventually.

My point here though, is that for the amount of time I spend online, I should probably be retired!! I don't have the paralysis thing, but I guess I have something similar. I just noticed that in this window where I have FireFox running, I have (8) EIGHT open!! Maybe some of you can work efficiently like that, but all I do is jump around, looking at things that don't help me in any way, shape, or form.

I'm turning over a new leaf...No more windows/tabs going than I actually need for what I'm currently doing. I going to stay focused on one (maybe 2) things at once. I know I can get much more done with the time I have. Now let's see exactly what I'm able to achieve.

Maybe I'll be the next 'Rich Jerk', hopefully not.

Pyramid schemes may come to you in many disguises as 'work from home' opportunities and also promise you attractive rewards. There are however many legitimate offers too and people do make money joining them. The ads in your email box come with promises of riches and lavish lifestyle of plenty of time to spend with family and constant vacationing in plush resorts, with little effort while the money keeps pouring in as you enjoy time with your family. Always adopt the belief that you should be paid for the work you do online and not paying for getting a job.

I recently joined Affiliate Classroom, and I've also posted about it here. The reason for this posts isn't to promote Affiliate Classroom again however. I guess it is somewhat of a promotion, but it's for Anik Singal this time around.

In case you don't know, Anik is the creator of Affiliate Classroom and a very successful affiliate marketer. I guess it could be enough of an ego boost just knowing that you've gotten to the top of your game, and you're making lots of money, but Anik has something else going on that very few will ever get to experience.

He's in the running for Businessweek's Top Entrepreneur Under 25.

He's is currently in the top 25 with the final votes just now being accepted. I just received an email from him...actually 2, one from the Affiliate Classroom on the same topic, he really wants the votes. :)

Anyway, the voting for this deal ends tomorrow (9-22-08), and Anik is campaigning to get the last few votes that he can. I really can't think of anyone more deserving myself. I will be honest also and admit that I don't know the stories of all the big name affiliates, nor do I know a lot about most of the other competitors in the Businessweek competition. I do know Anik's story though, and anyone that can start with $100 and reach his level of success, surely has to be in a position to be honored in some way.

So if you can spare a few minutes and want to help out a fellow affiliate marketer, and an all-around nice guy, drop by and give him your vote. Just click here to vote...he's the forth mark from the top (Affiliate Classroom (Anik Singal)). Also make sure you read the short story here too. They've even got a slideshow so you can get a look at all the young people that just have that special knack for generating a buck.

GOOD GOING ANIK!!  (now what was the agreement ? 6 months free access to affiliate classroom ? )

P.S.  They've even got Sir Richard Branson helping to make the selection. Now that's just plain COOL!!

P.S. Again - I said this wasn't a promotional post for Affiliate Classroom, and it wasn't intended to be, but I was in the middle of downloading some material from AC just now, and I was just thinking...I've probably already gotten enough information in the form of eBooks, reports, case studies, audios, videos, software and the list goes on, to make my first year of Affiliate Classroom pretty much free...and then some.

Seriously, if you're trying your hand in affiliate marketing, do yourself a favor and get the best training and support that you can. At $1 for the 14-day trial, and $30/month thereafter, I can't believe that you could EVER find ANYTHING even close to what Affiliate Classroom offers.

By now I would think that anyone that has Internet access, and especially those involved in affiliate marketing, have seen the news that Shawn Hogan, Brian Dunning, and Todd Dunning are being sued by eBay for cookie stuffing.

SAN FRANCISCO (CN) - Three men defrauded eBay in a "cookie stuffing" scheme that made it appear the men's companies should be paid commissions, eBay claims in Federal Court. It sued
