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.
