Hello all, I cannot remember the last time that I have visited and or posted (usually a lurker) in the WAHM.com forums :-)
I have had an increasing interest in affiliate marketing for quiet a few months now, and I have been trying to take the time to study it before doing something stupid like paying a bunch of money to get a website started and then not seeing anything come of it.
I have "The Super Affiliate Handbook" and have been trying to follow along with the 30 day challenge... so I know a little bit about the basics.
My thoughts are that most of this comes down to planning, but I am starting to feel overwhelmed with all the options for educating myself in the field of affiliate marketing and it seems that there are several different schools of thought.
Based on your personal experience; where would be a good place to start?
