My New Project - Starting Out As A Beginner Again In Affiliate Marketing

I’ve been a full-time affiliate marketer since 2004 and affiliate marketing has changed hugely since those early days.

Things that were easy then are hard now.

Squeeze pages / Landing pages /Opt-in pages and Email lists and marketing didn’t exist.

Neither did YouTube, which only arrived in 2005, and Google didn’t own it at that time.

Facebook was still a gleam in Mark Zuckerberg’s eye.

And WordPress was still a few years away.

Amazon.com had only just launched as an online book store.

Marketing was raw and edgy and a brand new frontier.

Now I look at the sophistication of marketing tools, tactics, strategies and methodologies.

In some ways, it’s much easier …

Gary’s Clickfunnels Review – Does This Sales Funnel Builder Live Up To Expectation?

Clickfunnels was co-created by Russell Brunson, a name you might have come across before, back in 2014.

It has remained the premier sales funnel builder since then, though new competitors have come along and some have since disappeared.

It is a business tool and costs $97/mth for the basic plan.

So it’s not cheap, but you can get 2 months free …

Getting This Blog Back In Action

It’s been a couple of months since I posted here on this blog (apart from my recent post) because I’ve been concentrating my efforts at building out my other blog, Email List Building Techniques, which focuses on…you guessed it…email marketing and list building!

Both of these are intricate ingredients in the affiliate marketing game and every truly successful marketer has their own email list.

Yes, they can be a pain to set up, which is why I avoided doing it myself for years.

Yes, they do cost money to run – you have to subscribe to an autoresponder service to be able to store your subscribers’ email addresses and to …

The Goal of Passive Income

The Holy Grail of affiliate marketing is to earn passive income – a steady stream of money that rolls into your PayPal and bank accounts. An income stream that you can predict and rely upon, month after month. A source of moolah that you don’t have to actually work for.

That is the dream, isn’t it?

How Affiliate Marketers Actually Work

Most affiliate marketers are lazy. I know I am. We want to earn instant commissions on sales made through our websites. More traffic equals more sales, right?

Well, there are several major problems with this business model:

  1. You’re basically hoping that your

Internet TV For Personal Profit

TV Boss Fire isn’t a product I’d heard of until one of my email subscribers asked my opinion on it and if it provided a worthwhile business opportunity.

With so many products coming out each day in the Internet Marketing niche it’s impossible to keep tabs on everything! 🙂

While I haven’t bought the product and therefore haven’t been able to review it properly, I had a look at what the product does based on information on the sales page and on the upsells pages.

So, based on that thin information, yeah it looks like there’s a business opportunity there but with some caveats…

This is a Software as a Service (SAAS) …

10X Secrets

Russell Brunson, the guy behind Clickfunnels® and many other products and courses released a new product a few days ago called 10X Secrets.

But despite the explanations and descriptions on the sales page, more than one of my email subscribers have said…

.
…I’m Still Not Exactly Sure WHAT The 10X Secrets Offer Is!
.

I admit, I totally see why they asked this!

There is literally SO much packed into this offer, it’s enough to make anyone’s head spin (Russell originally started out with 2 bonuses, and then got carried away).

So, for all of you who are wondering the same thing, I’m going to go a bit deeper into …
