3. Bored and underpaid in his day job as a Web Developer he
lived form pay-day to pay-day and dreamed of a better
way to make a living. Not content with just dreaming he
made several attempts to set up his own business. He ran
his own e-commerce site and built websites for local
businesses but never saw the breakthrough he yearned
for.
4. Then one day at work he discovered affiliate marketing.
The company he worked for had set up an affiliate scheme
as part of their internet marketing strategy. Intrigued, but
not fully understanding how it worked, he kept an eye on
how the scheme progressed. A few months later he
noticed that some of the company's affiliates were
earning thousands of dollars through the affiliate
program. Astonished at their success and even more so
when he realised that all they were doing was referring
visitors from their website to his company's website and
being paid a commission when a purchase was made. He
decided to find out more.
6. He found that there were thousands of online
merchants, including big names like Wal-Mart, Dell and
Amazon that had an affiliate program. The affiliates didn't
have to buy anything, make anything, deliver
anything, deal with customers or secure the transaction
and merchants were paying the affiliates millions of
dollars every month in commissions. This discovery
persuaded him to try affiliate marketing for himself and
within two months he was making more money from his
affiliate websites than he was in his day job. Within six
months he was making twice as much so he decided to
quit his job and focus entirely on his affiliate business.
8. He now runs over 100 affiliate websites promoting several
advertisers in various different categories. He's recognised
in the affiliate marketing industry as a leader and
advocate receiving accolades from Commission Junction
including their 2005 award for innovation.
10. Anyone seriously wishing to enter the affiliate marketing
business would do well to learn from him and indeed you
can. He has written a 140 page guide which is immediately
available at www.ebiz-info.co.uk.
