Affiliate 101

In this always changing environment, you can’t just sit back and think that you know everything there is to know about what you are doing.  The internet, and especially internet marketing, is in its infancy.  As it grows at light speed, you’ll see changes that can knock you out of the game, or make you rich.  If you want the latter result, you need to stay up to date.  This site will be a good source, but by no means is it the only source.  I will update this page with valuable resources as I come across them.

Listen – Podcasts
I described podcasts to a friend the other day as “a radio station that is programmed by me, that discusses topics that only a small group of people would possibly listen to”.  The site that makes that possible is WebmasterRadio.fm. It is probably the best source for a variety of subjects in the area of internet marketing, and beyond.  I will listen to a few a day by going through the archives.  I recommend the following channels for any budding affiliate/internet marketer.

• Advertising
  • Shoemoney Show – A successful internet marketer that discusses many topics related to making money on the web.
  • Net Income – Shoemoneys show before he became big enough to name a show after himself.  Go Shoemoney.
•  Affiliate Marketing
  • Affiliate Marketing Insider
  • Affiliate Thing
• Search Engine Optimization
  • SEO 101 – Excellent show about some of the basics of SEO and news.
  • SEO Rockstars – Good archives of shows that talk about some advanced topics.
