2 Create a Website – The Blog

Affiliate Marketers Don’t Create Their Own Products! Yep, that’s what someone told me on YouTube when I asked my subscribers what kind of book they would like me to write.

Last Thursday, I published a video about rejection. It struck a chord with many of you because it’s something I think most of us can relate to as Bloggers/Webmasters in some form…

You have probably noticed all the short and pretty links on different blogs and Twitter by now. Perhaps you’re unsure of which one you should use, or if it makes any difference.

You may have noticed that my blog’s homepage now has static content along with my recent posts.

I’m in the process of launching a book on niche websites (thanks to all my email subscriber’s feedback), so I’m making room for promotion and will be doing some experimentation very soon.

People often ask me for help when it comes to dealing with disabled AdSense accounts and preventing click fraud. So I did some digging over the weekend.

There was an interesting post made on Website Babble last month from a member (jeffG) who was seeking more examples of everyday people (as opposed to blogging gurus) who are making worthwhile money from their blogs.

There’s nothing wrong with using successful people and their stories for inspiration. After all, everyone needs someone to look up to when learning.

However, many of you just get carried away. How long it took blogger ABC to reach X amount of visitors or make X amount of money has absolutely no relevance to your individual situation.

Most people never buy the first time you introduce them to a product.

It takes an average of 7 to 10 exposures before someone converts and that’s assuming you’ve done everything else right (built credibility, PREsold effectively, promoted a relevant product, etc.)
