An Affiliate Marketer from the Ground Up

USFreeAds has been around since 1999 and has a huge following. One of the great things about it is that you can get an account for free. That means that you can post classifieds ads absolutely free.

Think about this...you can go to any affiliate network or other affiliate program and set up an account there for free, then set up an account at USFreeAds for no cost, and you have everything in place to start earning affiliate commissions. No website needed!!

Just write good ads, especially the titles, to get as many viewers as possible.

Although the free account is good, as in most things, if you can spend a few dollars (just $9.95), you get the PREMIUM account at USFreeAds. The step up is a big difference too. The ads you create can almost be a book with many pictures to boot, plus tons of tools to make them even better.

I've been using a PREMIUM account for quite a while now, and I'll always have one. Just one single affiliate commission on most products or services will more than pay for the entire month of your USFreeAds PRMIUM service...and then some.

Doing The Math On One Residual Income Opportunity
By David Ogden

I'm not sure when a person looks a residual income opportunity that they see the big picture. Many times as Internet marketers we are focused in how much money we are making today. In this article will take a look at the big picture when it comes to making money with residual income programs.

Recently I've gotten into article marketing. Actually I should say that I'm just getting into article marketing. I've yet to publish many articles, but I do realize the power in it, and I do plan to continue submitting articles to the directories.

In reality I'll be submitting primarily to only one directory now. In case you haven't heard of 'AffSphere.com', you've got to check these guys out. You talk about a fantastic idea, here is a good idea made great.

Probably most have heard of 'eZinearticles.com' and some of the other many article directories around the web. I think we'd all agree it's a great way to get backlinks, and also just a good way to have your work read and generate traffic (traffic=$$$).

AffSphere has taken it to another level though. Most directories won't allow affiliate links in your articles...AffSphere encouages it!! AffSphere is the brainchild of Anik Singal, the brilliant mind behind AffiliateClassroom.com, an outstanding resource and training site for the aspiring affiliate marketer that I've mentioned here before. I'm a member and I can honestly say that there's a ton of information there. Much of it downloadable in the form of ebooks, audios and videos, tutorials and guides.

Not only does AffSphere encourage affiliate links, they have devised a fantastic setup for the affiliate/writer to earn some very good commissions. Through the marvel of viral article marketing, it's possible to get untold numbers of signups in your downline. Although it could take a little while to get a good commission coming regularly, if you only write articles occasionally, you could also put out a good article or two, have it downloaded to several sites, and have it take off for you.

If you're interested at all in writing articles, take a look at AffSphere.com. There's nothing else that comes close to it as far as rewarding the article writers.

I doubt that many of us would want to sit and write articles all day, but even if you can write one a day, in a few months time there's no telling how many backinks and sales commissions you could earn. I truly believe this may be one of the best, easiest, and least expensive (it's free!!) methods to earn an online income.

I won't try and explain the 8 methods of earning at AffSphere, just go here and watch the video that explains it in detail. Then signup, it's free so there's obviously nothing to lose and untold rewards to gain!!

Good Luck.

I just got hit with another ebook offer. I believe if I downloaded or bought every ebook I saw, I'd probably and a couple of hard drives full by now.

Don't get me wrong, there's nothing wrong with ebooks, quite the contrary, but I do somewhat get tired of having (3) dozen of them shoved in my face everyday.

I felt obligated to write a quick post regarding the 'expiration' of my ePN affiliate account recently. After a bit of uncertainty, my account was just reinstated. I had posted here that I my account had been canceled for no wrong doing on my part, and I was really concerned about what the final outcome would be. I didn't want to believe that ebay would do anything other than the right thing.

Although it took about (6) days, I did just receive notice that they (the ePN Customer Support Team) and decided to reinstate my account, and I am again in good standing. I was able to immediately log back into my account, which I did, and everything was order, including the funds due me. It There wasn't a lot of money involved, but it was money that I had earned, and I'm glad to see that I've lost nothing other than several days of time.

I know there where some others that that their accounts expired when I did, and I hope that if there were others in the same situation as myself, as far as abiding by the terms and conditions, will also have their accounts reinstated. I've got a all the respect in the world for the ePN team to stand up and due the right thing. Anyone can make a mistake, but it's how you handle thing afterwards that decides what type of person (or company) you choose to be.

Hopefully I can now continue on what was looking to be a productive business venture with one of the leaders in internet business. It does look as though it will indeed be an eBay 'Partner' Network for me once again.

I really don't have much of anything to offer in the way of information regarding my Ebay Partner Network (affiliate) account being canceled. I'm still just almost dumfounded over the whole thing, as many others are also (on their account, not mine :)).

What is still the unbelievable aspect of the situation, is the fact that I've still yet to get a reply to my support request from (8-8-08)!! That's ridiculous. The money I've lost (I'm sure) isn't even a factor, I've actually not even thought about it for a couple of days, until now. I just can't believe that a company the size of eBay, and as well known as they are, would allow themselves to get into this position.

Well, although I did have a small income from a few PPC efforts, I was still 'in the red' overall for paying way too much for the clicks.

I've mentioned phpBay Pro here in the past, and I've had it installed on a few sites for some time now. I was getting a few clicks every so often, but I wasn't making any money until just recently. It still hasn't been very long considering how long it can take to get any pages listed on Google. I'm still a long way from being able to quit my day job, but just the fact that I'm starting to see some regular income is a great sign.

I'm still very guilty of not updating my sites with regular, good quality content as often as I should, but evidently I'm at least getting there.

For those of you that are looking for a real, feasible way to generate some online income, I strongly suggest phpBay Pro. It's already proving itself to be a quality product for me and I'm not putting as much effort in as I should be.

Also, I've mentioned BANS here too. I finally got around to purchasing it also. I just got it a couple of days ago and only have one site up so far. The site I do have has no content and I don't expect anything at all from it until I put in some effort to get it a little more presentable. I don't want just a site of Ebay listings and nothing else. I can promise you that's not the way to go. Not only will Google shoot you down, if you try and use Adsense, but if you do get any Ebay sales, they will be few and far between.

I'll post again and update you on phpBay Pro and BANS once I really get some sites to where they are producing what I think they're capable of. Both products look very promising indeed.
