I have been into affiliate marketing for about a year now, maybe a little more than that and i can tell you it has been a great ride.

Initially focussed on understanding niche and keyword research and then on website building

I have found, now that i am making an income online, that the thing to do is focus on building a business online

It is all too easy to get distracted with white hat and black hat and traffic generation methods that have a short life span.

The trick is focus on the business. Get yourself a plan for the long term, do not expect to make money in the first few months. Work hard at it every single day.

When i first came into affiliate marketing, i thought it was about putting up a website and the money comes rolling in. [How very silly of me]

For the newbies out there, expect to work at it several hours a day, every day of the year for the first few months

Anyway, about me, i am not new to forum participation.

I use forums really to share and test out my ideas and also to get a feel of what other marketers take on things is

That's my shout
