Just when we get our foot not in but near to the door they go and build two more doors. I mean… we visit Orange Beach in April (never knew it existed), return home only to learn BP OIL blew its Top – well its bottom!
What Gives?
Now that we’ve built a fun and exciting ebook mall – they want to shut affiliate marketing DOWN?
It’s Crazy!
Hi Lisa,
I’m new to internet marketing, and I’m really trying to get a feel for everything: I just recently joined Wealthy Affiliates and it’s an awesome program. I have been looking for someone to take me by the hand and show me the way. I thank GOD that I found you on youtube, you give me so much inspiration. You are an wonderful teacher, and very gifted. You were meant to do videos, you are a natural. I love your passion. Keep doing what you do because you do it very well. GOD bless you.
Lisa – Topic idea for your next video: “How websites make money online”. I’m sure that everyone would benefit from your unique insight into this. Dan
It is good advice to diversify that. I learned that a long time ago, when AdSense revenue suddlenly dried up.

I’m brand new to the IM and I found your videos offer great value to me. Like this quick reminder about online income diversification. I just don’t get to hear people talk about this kind of thing much elsewhere.
Thanks Lisa 🙂
Thanks for covering this important issue Lisa. i hope everyone is paying attention to what you have to say. The legal side of business is hugely important, and internet marketing is going to continue changing at a rapid pace.

About Affiliate Marketing, including (Google AdSense), I’ve noticed over time that increases in website content usually result in a noticeable increase in income. I’m sure 2CreateaWebsite’s income increases every time there’s new content, particularly video content (Lisa?). So, with that in mind, create quality unique and relevant content, optimised for SEO, and you should notice an increase in income….depending on how relevant your affiliate adverts are to your niche, and depending on how many people visit your website. As an aside, it really isn’t generally advisable to concentrate on advertising until your website generates at least, say, 250 unique visitors a day.
This is a very informative video. I agree that it is important to deversify ones income streams. This was recommended in the SBI AG. Thank for the information.

Thanks for the great advice on diversified income, Lisa. I’m working on getting others going besides Adsense and you’ve given me a couple of ideas. As always, you are my Go-to Girl!
Hi Lisa,
Again, an awesome video. I don’t know, exactly, how long I have been subscribed to your video’s, but, every one of them have been concise and informative. Would you consider doing one on video cameras? I noticed,once again how good the picture in your videos are. You are an awesome leader in this industry, and, I just want to encourage you to keep on keeping on.
God Bless

Thanks Ray! Just bought a new HD camera and what’s crazy is that is not even the HD setting. The file was too large for my software (crashed) so I recorded it in High Quality. So the picture even gets clearer. Just need better software.
I get a lot of questions about video so I will probably do a video on that soon.
Great infor, Lisa.
I’m sure that many are not aware of the aff tax law situation.
Additionally, your advice regarding diversification is not only great blogging advice but something everyone should be applying in life.
Enjoyed the post.

Thanks for the latest information, Lisa! Not having control over our financial destiny as an employee is one reason those of us participate in affiliate marketing full time or part time. As a single mom of three, I need to have other lucrative choices for retirement.
Let’s all sign the petition for our future!
Thank You For this info!!!! one of my main source of income is using Amazon and Twitter with multiple Twitter accounts If you type in Photography on find people on Twitter #1 in the world type in Nutrition #1 in the world Fitness top 10. Type “bible” bible_guide (top 10) I use multiple Twitter accounts to generate income! 😉 Best book to read on how to make money is the “Bible” Pray for wisdom and knowledge on internet marketing Proverbs 3:13-16 Blessed is the man who finds wisdom, the man who gains understanding, for wisdom & understanding is more profitable than silver and yields better returns than gold. More Precious than rubies; nothing you desire can compare. God Bless You All!
affiliate tax.. well guess that’s fair, but that doesn’t make me feel better 🙂
“Pay yourself first.”, “Cushion.” – Lisa, you must have my mom on speed-dial 🙂 Thanks for doing this – I had heard about this online, but wondered what was up. I normally don’t get too involved in politics, but I will definitely sign this petition.
Thanks for the FYI on the affiliate tax law. I will definitely head straight over sign the petition and share the information. Great advice on planning as far as multiple streams of income. This helps me out tremendously!

Great advice, Lisa. I completely agree that one should never put all of their eggs in the Google Adsense basket. There are many ways to make money online and Adsense is just one part of it.

Thanks for the info on the advertising tax law. I’ve already been affected by this – I live in NY state and there is a company with products related to my site that I really wanted to be an affiliate for, but I was rejected based on my living in NY. Also, thanks once again for mentioning that we should diversify our website income. I tend to just use Google Adsense, but I should probably expand because I could use more money. Also, thanks for posting the petition link.
