before you start Affiliate Marketing

this might go w/out saying, but I am a beginner and I will add everything I feel is relevant. The FIRST thing you need to do before getting into traffic exchanges and Affiliate Marketing is to set up different email addresses - I have 6 right now and I still get a TON of junk mail. I know LinkReferral is working on something where you can just sign up with 1 email, but when I first found it, I had to sign in with 5 different emails for 5 different things I had just started promoting. There will be lots of things that sound great when you first see the ad - After looking into it a little bit you may well decide you don't want anything to do with it. Thats fine - But once they get your email, you will KEEP getting email -

Also, I am very guilty of this but I really need to work smarter, not harder. Right now I've got so much going on and so much that I want to accomplish, but in order to give you GOOD reviews and good results, I need to slow down and concentrate on 1 project at a time. This week is going to be about NetSuccess (I will write up a bit about that soon) - I tend to spread myself thin a lot. I want it all and I want it all RIGHT NOW! The best thing about this blog may end up being that it keeps me focused and organized.

So my goals for this week are simple - Get my affiliate links all set for NetSuccess and write that review (this is exciting, really!) - Get those links set up on all my traffic exchanges and start promoting. Not too much to undertake, but in a couple weeks we should start to see if we are getting any results or not - Oh yeah, ADVERTISING - I've got a few more ideas about advertising options - I'm not quite ready to commit to the Google & Yahoo prices but have found some decent alternatives - Of course I will let you know asap what I'm starting with.
