I started my journey into affiliate marketing with this handbook. I can’t say enough about it. I have RARELY found a book that takes the reader step-by-step through the whole process of setting up anything, let alone an affiliate business. This got me started a little over a year ago. Just like any business, I have found that building an affiliate marketing business is hard work. Although my time on this side business varies, I try to spend about 5-10 hours a week on it.
I had the priviledge of meeting James Martell for supper in Calgary when I was first gettting started. I was invited to go out with them and another one of his students from Calgary, Alberta. James is a down-to-earth guy who is having the time of his life with this business. Just imagine running a large, passive income business from your home with little to no overhead. He was completely what I DID NOT expect. I expected a sales guy who wanted to push his product and tout his ego (think traditional used car salesman, or over zealous network marketing business owner). Instead, I found a regular joe who is like a kid in a candy shop as he learns more and more about this online business. I was amazed and impressed.
There is a link on our e-book page to the James Martell Affiliate Handbook. It is HIGHLY recommended.

OK. Since I am using this as a test site, I would like to see how long it takes to get any sort of significant traffic. Eventually, I will be posting an RSS for this site, but I just don’t have the time right now. Here is the big test. How many back links can I naturally build without submitting to any directories or other websites. I would like to see if I just continue to add content to the site how long it will take before back links happen naturally. (This assumes that someone out there will think what I have to say is worth linking to!)
Keep you posted!

This little piece of RSS software was recommended in one of the e-books I read, The Stampede Secret. I downloaded the trial version of this RSS tool and it “wowed” me. I found the interface intuitive and easy to use. The user can customize the software to their own liking, thanks to the built in “skin” chooser. It has a WYSIWIG editor (what you see is what you get) for guys like me who don’t know a lick of code! I can honestly say that I was uploading my first RSS feed within about 30 minutes from when I downloaded the trial. They offer a free trial and then an upgrade (cheap) to a registered version. I have links to them on my software page.
This program can deal with RSS 2.0, 0.94, 0.93, 0.92, 0.91, and 0.9 feeds. In other words, everything.
