How much do you approximately make monthly promoting affiliateprograms?
My wife, Joanna and I are more interested in quality of life than earning a lotof money. We earn more than we used to as journalists.We live about half the year in Australia - in a pole houseby the beach: (http://www.AssociatePrograms.com/search/us.shtml)and half in New Zealand, where we have friends and family.We love the way our business has given us the freedom totravel and work wherever we like. That's priceless.
How did you start affiliate marketing?
On a free-hosted web site, I was earning the occasional $10 commission fromJim Daniels' revenue sharing program, selling his introduction to marketing onthe Net, "Insider Internet Marketing". He has since launched a much better book. I really
WAS
earning money while I was walking on the beach (I hadtime for that in those days) or while I slept, because I was in Australia andmost of my customers were in the U.S.I wanted to join more such programs and hunted in all the main searchengines for a directory of them. I was surprised that no one appeared to havestarted one. (I found out later that James Marciano had launched his directorylate in 1997, just before mine.) I reckoned that lots of people like me would besearching for a directory of such programs, so I started one, AssociatePrograms.com.
