My Blog- Affiliate Marketing

Ok, early this year I was forced to take a rather large paycut or lose my only line of work. Being pragmatic I took the cut thinking, "it will be ok" and "We'll make some cuts but we'll be fine."
Well here I am now in November and yes we are ok and we made some cuts and we are fine but it isn't comfortable.
So I started looking for ways to earn a small amount of extra income to try and boost the salary back to what it was. I've looked at just abouyt everything and most things seem to me to take ages to set up or require your input as often as if you were working full time.

I, like so many before me and many who will come after, fell for the old "no lose roulette" scam! that hurt, £200 down the swanee and nothing to show for it.
That was when I suppose I discovered Affiliate Marketing. On the surface it looks like the answer to my prayers. I should be able to setup a website or two advertising various items I am affiliated to and earn commission on each sale.

Now I've spent a fair while researching the arena and there is a lot of BS out there about how to get rich, so I thought I'd start this blog and list exactly what I do and what happens to me along the way. There will be no hype, no BS and no lies in this blog. If I make money I will tell you how much and how I did it and if I lose money I will do the same.

Now, I started dabbling back on the 5th of November then I was off for a week, on holiday with my misses and now I'm going to be busy for a couple of weeks with work. If I can get access to a laptop I will keep this updated otherwise there will be a delay until early December...Sorry all but thats life. I need to get my notes in order from those beginings so I can tell you all in what order things happened!

I hope you like what I'm writing, feel free to comment. I would be very interested in other peoples experiences too.
