Plans For 2010
As we approach the end of 2009 I have to admit that I haven’t exactly followed the path I had in mind for my first full year in internet marketing. Ideas that I thought we a dead cert to work have fallen flat on their face, and other things I’ve tried have been surprisingly successful.
One such success story was a tactic I discovered to cash in on the Christmas period as an amazon affiliate. After discovering the idea I spent a couple of days in November setting it up (I really wish I had spent more time now!) and netted around $500 in sales commisioned. Not a huge amount I know, but I only really had time to test the water to see whether it would work, and the idea is totally scalable. Next year I will be looking for some people to join me in creating a network of affiliate sites for amazon so we can all benefit from this tactic.
I have also been working on a membership site for people who want to become affiliate marketers. It probably won’t be for those who are looking to become big name internet marketing millionaire guru’s (you’ll have to buy some other course for that) but for the average Joe who wants to make a decent income just from being a behind the scenes affiliate. Not everybody likes the limelight, I realise, so this site will be about giving you all the tools and training to succeed in affiliate marketing. I will also be looking to use the power of the collective members to help in the promotion of products.
So I hope everyone has a great Christmas and a very prosperous New Year, and look out for more from me very soon.

Hi Carl
How cool to be living in one of the best destination on the planet. Just read your blog and about us.
As you see my name is Sue McDonald and I live in Australia. I am at present doing the Newbie course with Mark Terrell who originally did the course with Alex a few years ago.
It’s interesting learning and like everyone that starts these types of courses we all want to make money and have more time to ourselves. I hope you are making a great living and if you have time over the next few weeks and you could take a look at my blog and leave a comment, I would certainly appreciate it.
Kindest regards
Sue
Hi Sue,
Thanks for stopping by my blog, I’ll be sure to take a look at yours too when I get a chance.
You’re right, I love living out here although I have to admit that the laid back attitude and almost constant sunshine isn’t always conducive to sitting in my office and getting my daily tasks done!
All the best on your course, I wish you every success!
Carl.
Hi Carl,
I am a new student of Mark Terrell’s and he has asked me to check out other people’s blogs, and I am glad I did stop by here. Hoping your affiliate membership is going well I would love to hear more, Visit my blog and drop me a line on the progress and tell me what you think.
Thank You,

Carl,
You got my curiousity wondering…what were you doing on Amazon? $500 is good Christmas money.
