Make Affiliate Money

Happy New Year Everyone!

I hope everyone had a good Christmas and New Year Holiday. I have been off work for a total of 11 days, have travelled over 1000 miles in total, visited so many friends and family members and even had a minor car crash in between!

I had intended to dedicate a couple of days to developing my new membership site which will be my first venture into the Publisher world, but on the way back from my local Mall, some idiot rear-ended me. It took almost a full day to sort out a hire car, insurance and garage etc and in the end I didn’t get anything done.

In the run up to Christmas I had made some good consistent sales with Clickbank which was great, but from Boxing Day to 2nd January I had no sales, everyone was partying or on vacation, certainly not buying electronic products online!

So onto my goals for 2009.

1) Consistency from Clickbank Sales – at least $1500/month after refunds

2) Complete and launch new Membership Site on Clickbank

3) Revive my Everloss and Efficient Planet campaigns

4) Continue to diversify with CB products I promote to avoid fluctuations

5) Sell off some of my sites that I do not have time or passion for

6) Try to make a regular additional income flipping sites building on success in 2008

7) More regular posting on this blog with more tips and tricks

Build a number of subscriber lists to promote future products to

9) Continue to be an active member of Nichechoppers Forum

10) Do all of this while keeping my well paid day job and hopefully getting a promotion!

Anyone else set some Affiliate Marketing Goals for 2009? Post them in the comments.

I suppose there is a point in every Internet Marketer’s career that they contemplate writing an ebook or becoming a publisher, whether it be on the subject of Internet Marketing, a rewritten successful product or a new untapped niche.

I decided to start this blog as I was being asked lots of questions by people on forums about what I do to make money and how I do it. I have tried to give real life examples, cover some basics and some more advanced things. So far the feedback has been great, I always welcome more. I also wanted to have a place where I could put all my thoughts, links to useful resources and also somewhere to send people if they asked me about my online endeavours.

I think there is a market for a particular type of affiliate marketing guide, don’t expect to see lots of outrageous claims about making millions without any effort or lots of photoshopped clickbank screen shots or claims of being an internet marketing guru, I am going to tell the truth and see where it gets me! I am making a decent additional income which given the time and effort could turn into a full time job, but right now a lot of people (like me) would be happy with a little extra each month to get them through the credit crunch and buy the nice to have “extras” or “luxuries”.

I will try and document my journey to becoming a publisher, but will need to be careful with the actual details to avoid anyone getting the jump on me.

More details to follow…..
