In the Beginning…
Was the Noob, and the Noob was without knowledge or money….Ok, parodies aside, welcome to my new blog. Within these pages I plan on amassing the sum total of all affiliate knowledge so that I become enormously wealthy and terribly difficult to get along with because I’m so damn rich! Mwahahahaha! Or not. I’d be more than happy with the “skills to pay the bills” as the marketing god Shoemoney puts it. I’m tired of the day-to-day 8am-6:30pm grind, (counting commute time) and I want my freedom back!
Here’s a little background on me. I’m not a complete noob, a few years back I tried to do the PPC marketing where you create a campaign to drive traffic directly to an advertisers website and profit without having your own landing pages. That was a failure and I never tried any of it again. Instead I went off to the get-rich-quick schemes of real estate where I spent some good money on a couple lame programs and in the end wound up buying the house I now live in. Not a complete loss of time there. =)
Unfortunately, I don’t seem to be the kind of person that makes a good landlord, and I don’t have enough money to buy another house anyway, so here I am looking for personal freedom through internet marketing. I’m a business programmer by day, and a fair hand at web design and programming during the night, so I’m hoping to leverage those skills if I need to create my own landing pages or sites.
But basically I’m still a noob to most everything in the Affiliate marketing world.
Why the blog? My thought is that by posting what I learn I can A). help myself by keeping a log to help with my focus, B). help others by letting them learn from my efforts, and C). maybe entice some kind Affiliate marketers to drop by and share their knowledge. =)
Maybe someday I’ll get Shoemoney to do a guest blog!
That’s it for now….
