First Look

Date November 7, 2007

This blog should serve as a platform to provide you with all my musings about affiliate marketing. I’m thinking of customizing my header to be more personalized and making sure that the navigation is easy.

Whatever it is, I’ve just about had enough about hype and all that “buzz” created by some so called marketers. Now, don’t get me wrong. There are a few honest marketers that I still have a lot of respect for.

Here’s the thing that really ticks me off. I receive emails from people almost daily about being in the hole of about a few thousand dollars in debt. Yet they still go out there and buy the next big thing.

Then, it does not work for them and they go out and buy the next opportunity there is out there. Do you feel like you can identify with this pattern?

If your answer is yes, then please stop doing this. You’re indirectly sabotaging yourself by depriving your “survival cash”. Its important to stay focused until something works. One of the best ways to really find success is to develop discipline - even if you’re running a business online :)

    Vern,
    Read your latest post, and I must say, found it quite enjoyable. You used the word “personalized”, having to do with customizing your header. I think you are on to something, because I read all of what you had to say and appreciated what you had to say. As of now I am still searching the endless list of what is out there that could generate interest, fun and money…….Not necessarily in that order. Not having signed up for anything yet, I would like to take the time to state some of the things that shut me off completely. “Quick Millions,”–and anyone can do it!!! “Have a Rolls Royce” for just a few hours a week of your time. And then the discount price for the “program” and now pay a monthly fee to belong to a “club” whose job it is to sell product(s). I’ve got this bridge to sell in Brooklyn! Any takers? Finally; why do I have to give my name, Email, and sometimes phone number before a small amount of additional information is made available as to “what and how to”? I probably have not said anything here that you haven’t heard before, and already dealt with. At any rate, I wish you continued success, and will be checking my Email for anything else you send out.

    Hey Vern,

    I see you adopted the Cleaker theme as well ;) Nice choice, it looks great. Keep up the good work.

    @ John - Glad that you found it enjoyable. I’m looking to provide more content as time goes by and its only because helpful people like you made it possible for me.

    Of course, nothing online has not been discovered yet but I felt it would be great to position myself to help others. In return I hope that they will help me too in the near future.

    @ Josh - Thanks for dropping by buddy ;) To be honest I had found the theme to be really clean. Thats the reason I got it. Plus, I was so used to reading up on your posts so this format could be a good fit for me too!

    Look forward to make some new widget installations soon.
