Damon - have you considered taking a look at some of the other networks like Paid on Results or Affiliate Future. I think their set up costs are much smaller than CJ or linkshare.

Great advice Fraser, the simple sites and niche sites always seem to be the best.

At the very least people can always build hobby sites and promote something on it, even if there is not a specific merchant selling those products, as I’m sure there is always a book that you can promote or review on your site through the Amazon program.

Fraser has started a great series about the very beginning phases of getting started with affiliate marketing.

So if you’d like to listen to a cool guy with a cool accent TELL you how instead of re…

Excellent stuff! You summed up so well what I tell people when they ask the same question of me.

Develop content, contribute something to the discussion that will help someone like yourself online.

I definitely look forward to the rest of the series and will link to you on ChristianAffiliateMarketers.com

God Bless,

Thanks for the Podcast. Really enjoying listening to your podcasts over the last couple of months. I’ve been dabbling on the fringes of creating a website / affiliate marketing for a couple of months now.

Strangely enough I got started by listening to podcasts created on the other side of the pond first - webmaster radio stuff (Jeremy Palmer, Shoemoney, and some others).

I only recently discovered that there’s a big Affiliate Marketing scene in the UK too, thanks to your podcast / blog and the other UK ‘affiliate scene’ bloggers - keep up the good work, it’s an invaluable resource for newbies like me trying to make a start.

Thanks,
Neil
