Are We Crazy?!

There are times in a person’s life when they realize that they need to change direction. Well for us that time is now….we’ve made the decision to finally become serious about . Don’t get me wrong, we’ve have been doing this for a couple of years now and we do make money from what we do but it’s not always as consistent as we would like. It’s also not in the region of what the super affiliates make.

We want to become serious players and strengthen the backbone of our business. This has been building up for some time now and a few different factors have moved us into this direction:

1. We have previously focused solely on organic search and although we are damn good at it, it is a slow process and neither of us are finding the work enjoyable anymore.

2. We have recently joined the ‘Wealthy Affiliate University’ program. They promote money making techniques that are new and exciting and what I personally find fun to do. Their methods are focused on speedier ways to .

3. We have been reading quite a few different eBooks written by some of the best in the business and we see consistencies amongst them that we would like to duplicate.

All of these combined have pushed us forward to where we are today and that is at the point where we are completely overhauling this blog, and I mean completely overhauling. The only thing that really remains as I write this blog post is the domain name. We have totally deleted all of our blog posts – over 200 of them and numerous articles and reviews of affiliate products. Some might say we are crazy to do it but we need it to be a completely fresh start. Out with the old and in with the new as they say.

So we are taking the advice of the blog mavens out there and we will be developing this blog to provide strong well written articles that over deliver in reader expectation.

We will provide you with information to help you succeed because in doing that we will also succeed.

We will listen to what you want and develop friendships with you as we all try to improve our Internet businesses.

We will teach you what we know without concern that we are giving away something of monetary value for nothing.

And most of all we will provide overall value to make your life as Internet Marketers that much easier.

Remember we have had success doing it the hard way, so now we can all concentrate on succeeding by doing it the easy way.

Join us now in our endeavors to reach Super Affiliate status.

When we attended the shareasale.com Affiliate Summit in Las Vegas we had the pleasure of meeting up with Affiliate Marketing Guru, James Martell , his lovely wife Arlene, Phil the tech guy and a small contingent of other students.

The site is called EpilepsyMoms.com and is a must visit for anyone who has a child with this condition. Arlene has been through the trauma of having a child with epilepsy so she knows what you are going through and her site is full of information and resources to help any parent in this situation.

The conference was full on as always and the information gained makes this meeting well worth while for anyone in the Affiliate Marketing business.

Being at the Affiliate Summit and meeting with our fellow students was a lot of fun, usually we communicate through the online bootcamp sessions and the forums that James has put in place to assist us all.

We spent some time talking to the lady from Popshops. Anyone who has an Affiliate Marketing site will find Popshops to be invaluable as a time saving tool that we recommend.

We touched base with a number of Affiliate Networks with a view to getting more good quality, high converting merchants on our sites.

This all equates to $$$’s in the long run so the Summit is the place to be.

If you are looking to monetise your website or blog, it pays to deal with the Affiliate Networks who help to protect your income by making sure you do receive your payments and working with a Network makes it easier to find merchants with products relevant to your site.
