This issue marks FeedFront Magazine’s oneyear anniversary. While that may not seemnoteworthy by many standards, in thesetimes with nearly 50% o small businessesailing within the rst year, we are humbledand encouraged by the cooperative eorto everyone involved in this magazine’ssuccess.You see, or many years aliate marketershave been stereotyped as “lone wolves”.We’ve had a reputation or industriouslyworking rom our homes, with little tono social interaction, coveting our mostsecretive ways o making money online.Seldom could we be bothered with outsideinuences that would muddy-up our day.But, with the convergence o social mediaand aliate marketing, and aced withindustry-related challenges such as theAdvertising Tax and unethical practices;aliate marketers have embarked on a newage o collaboration – one that is lled withpositive steps towards growing and urtherlegitimizing our industry. Through the elbow grease o aliatemarketers around the country, the threat o harmul legislature that would negativelyaect aliates and merchants located inVirginia, Maryland and Caliornia, has beenquashed. And, while the war is ar romover, great inroads have been laid to ensureour voices are heard by the legislatorsresponsible or these bills.Formalized associations, Aliate Voice andPerormance Marketing Association haveorganized, comprised o aliate marketers,ocusing on taking control over aliatemarketing’s destiny rather than lettingdestiny continue to control us.Combined eorts o aliate marketers havecreated new and protable companies,raised substantial unds or charitableorganizations and increased awareness o our growing industry through their bloggingand speaking eorts.Lastly, were it not or dozens o marketingexperts who so graciously provide thevaluable content or FeedFront, themagazine would not exist.By engaging in collaboration, aliatemarketers have identied strategies ordealing with the problems we ace, andhave taken charge o shaping o our ownproessional utures – which look brighterthan ever. Tired o ying solo, yet?

“Alone we can do so little; together we can doso much.”

I wish someone would have told me all thisstu when I rst started in the Web businessworld over 10-years ago. Knowing theseinsights would have saved me thousandsand thousands o dollars and years o wasted work, tears and stress. These ve tips are or you; the Web businessbuilder just starting out who wants to makea ew (or more) bucks; or the experiencedWeb guru who has built a strong reputationonline yet doesn’t know how to makemoney with it.

1 – ls h e

Is your ego getting in the way o youmaking money online? It probably is. Ask yoursel these questions.1. Is the thought o producing a one-page sales letter enough to make youthrow up?2. Do you believe that in order to berespected you cannot sell?You may imagine yoursel as someone who’s“above”being a marketer. The truth is thatwhile you may think being sel-promotionalis spammy and annoying, many peoplewho trust you already are VERY interestedin what you have to say and what kind o things you have to oer.

2 – D’ Smp  h Bss

When you’re starting out, it’s easy to gocheap on the basics. But i you’re seriousabout wanting to make money online, thesooner you invest a little bit o money intoyour eorts, the better.I’m talking about things like Web hosting,Web design, domain names and third-party solutions like Aweber or email orMembergate or membership sites. Theseare the types o mission-critical items thatevery Web business person must have asolid solution or.

3 – D’ W  ty & g ou  hcub

My avorite quote rom a amous personis this one rom Wayne Gretzky.

“You miss100% o the shots you don’t take.”

Here’s what I know now. O the shots I didtake, not all o them panned out. In act,more have ailed than not, but the rest o them scored small to BIG or me, allowingme to be in a position today o owning myown Web business and working or mysel. Take your shot, or stay in the cubicle.

4 – th tm  W Hd s nw…  h rs  Yu l

There are riches to be made being asuccessul Web entrepreneur. But you haveto want it and you have to give up someo the luxuries in your lie or the moment.Sure, it’s a hard act to ace, but the realityis that every single successul person youknow got where they are rom sacrices andhard work, not rom video games and lotso TV.

5 – Sv Pp’s Pbms = MMy

I you solve people’s problems, you canmake money. Look around at the successulbusinesses around you. Each one solves aspecic problem or a targeted niche. I youcan ocus only on that, you will win.
