I’ve been receiving a lot of emails lately from folks that are interested in getting started in affiliate marketing. Maybe it’s economy-driven or maybe…just maybe…. bloggers are finally realizing that it’s OK to make money from their blogs 
Either way, I dig it. There’s no better feeling than teaching someone how to make a few extra bucks a month via affiliate marketing; and even better, to help affiliates take their existing affiliate marketing efforts to the next level.
Unfortunately, while I’d love to take everyone under my wing that asks for advice, there’s just no way that I can do it. I’m completely overextended right now.
That being said, my business partner Shawn and I put out a ton of content that is available to everyone, absolutely FREE.
Dive into the links below. You’ll find that all levels and aspects of affiliate marketing are covered. It’s my sincere hope that you’ll find something that fits your needs.

Thanks Ron. I'm currently working on a new video presentation now entitled "Six Common Pitfalls New Affiliates Should Avoid" which should be up this week at some point. These are just some tips I wish someone would have given me when I first started out. I hope it helps out someone before they make the same mistakes I did
Thank you very much for yet more information, Missy.
When a new AWeber affiliate asks me for information, I always point him to your blog, Shawn Collins affiliatetip and YouTube channel, Feedfront magazine, as well as ABest web and affiliate classroom.
Oh, Geekcast is great too!
With those resources, you can't go wrong., but the new affiliate content you mentioned would be a welcome addition!
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thanks Missy,
I like that you are always giving back. What goes around comes around. Also, after meeting you at asw09 I know that you are geniune. Sometimes it is hard to weed through the scams and I appreciate that if you put something out there it is for real. Thanks again!
I appreciate that Lori. My goal is to start providing some content for new affiliates on this site. Something that will help them get started.
It can be a confusing road at the beginning, so I hope I\\'ll be able to help a little bit by providing some instruction.
