Where To Start

Today I am going to submit my first articles.  I am not sure I have the keyword ideas down yet, but I learn best by doing. So here goes.  From my research I have found that EzineArticles.com and Goarticles.com are the place to start.  We'll see.

One thing I have found is that when you start to research affiliate marketing everyone and I mean everyone seems to want to sell you something.  So if you join Wealthy Affiliates are some other legit marketing school, beware.  Even in these places greenhorns will be hit up for every imaginable marketing scheme by other members of that site.

Some offers are good, but you need to be the judge of what works for you and what doesn't.

Until Next Time,

My money making experiment.

This blog is about my health and wealth journeys and so far I have written mostly about my health. Today I am starting out on an experiment to try to earn some money on the Internet. I invite you to tag along and see how it works out. Except for the weekends and holidays I will give you a daily update here. For some time I have been interested in working from my computer to make some money. Lately I have become earnest and have begun researching the best way to do it. Affiliate marketing seems to be the best way for me since I do not have a product to sell or a warehouse to hold a product.

The basics of affiliate marketing are that you sell other peoples products and they pay you a commission. It is a simple model for making money and it has been around a lot longer than the Internet, but I was wondering how I could apply this to the Internet. You have to be able to reach a lot of people and unless you have an extremely popular website how are you going to do that. I ruled out spamming right off the bat, I hate it! I could spend my money advertising, but if I didn't know how to write the correct advertisements I would go down the crapper in a hurry while making google rich. By the way, do not run after any quick money schemes or easy Internet marketing schemes. I did and I shouldn't have. I wasted my money.

I also needed to focus on a specific product. Trying to sell everything would either waste my time or my money or both.

Today I am ready to take the plunge. After much research I am going to join Wealthy Affiliates University. I have looked every where on the web and this seems to be the best site to learn Internet marketing. I am only going to join for one month because I am still skeptical. I will post here how things go.

Until next time, CW
