I’d like to share an inspiring story with you about one of our students.
(We’ll call this student ‘Sydney’ to protect her
privacy.)
Briefly, Sydney turned a debilitating medical
problem into a full-time website income.
How did she do this?
Sydney was diagnosed with a condition called
Hypothyroidism, which can be a debilitating
medical problem if not treated. In fact,

Affiliate Application DENIED!

A few months back the Capital One Credit Card
Company rejected me from its affiliate program.
I applied 3-4 times with different websites. They
rejected me every time.
I knew that I could make an additional $8,000 -
$12,000 per month with Capital One….but they
refused to let me into their Affiliate Program!
This was incredibly frustrating.
Perhaps you’ve had a [...]

I met Greg Davis of SuperAffiliateRockstar.com last summer at a private mastermind event in Maryland. I heard about Greg from a few other Internet Marketers. They insisted I meet Greg because he was doing some astronomical numbers with his affiliate sites.

partner site, I cannot view them unless I sign up.  To do that, I need
an active website with a history of traffic and relevance.  I have one

A Story of Success and Failure

You may not know that when Dave and I got started
with our businesses we were complete computer
idiots. We painfully struggled to do the simplest
tasks. We quite literally had to build our
businesses from scratch.
Even when we figured out enough to bang out a
basic website, we still struggled because we had
no idea what to promote on our [...]

Lots of people ask about the health of the credit card affiliate market. So few people have good enough credit to get cards these days, banks are tightening lending, and fewer people have jobs. All of these things may have certainly changed the industry. It is different. The easy money is not as easy but [...]

This morning I got an email from my rep at The Hydra Network. I learned they have now included the new (vague and ambiguous) FTC guidelines on testimonials into their terms and conditions.
This means that ignoring those guidelines could get your affiliate account suspended and/or forfeit your commissions! Ouch!
Here are the new ts and [...]

We got this question in response to our new traffic tele-seminar last week:

Great tele-session, good info. Took a look at the two sites you mentioned.. Are they basically the same as the linkshare and shareasale links I got from your program? Basically sign up with them and get your advertisers through them? How many of [...]
