Besides links to “authority” sites and sites with tools and other goodies, I want to include a section of links to fellow journeyers.
So, if you are a relative newbie to Internet Marketing and you are out there “doing it” with blogs, PPC campaigns, social marketing efforts, SEO techniques, afilliate programs, and all and have a site where you “talk” about what is and isn’t working for you, please drop me an email or comment here.

In the previous post I wrote about having some affiliate dollars flowing in. I received a courtesy phone call (you know it’s gonna’ be something not-so-good when you get a call prefaced by, “Hello, this is John Smith of XYZ Company, I am making a courtesy call to inform you …) telling me that the facet of the affiliate program I was working would no longer be supported, and even being terminated in just a couple of days.
Well, due to the required lag between sale and compensation to allow for returns, I still had a couple of checks in the queue. But when those process through, that’s it. Boy, I’m going to miss those checks! I have to shift that business effort to a conventional online affiliate model and it should be good for a few more bucks!
For the past couple of weeks I’ve been dabbling with the Build A Niche Store (BANS) software package. I have created a few partial sites as I’m learning how to do it. I would LOVE to have a week away from the J-O-B and other distractions (like filing taxes) to be able to focus on finalizing these sites and creating more.
As these sites become ready for public viewing, I’ll have to venture into the world of PPC. Seems that PPC is probably just one of those things that you can’t get a feel for it until you just go ahead and do it. I’ve seen lots of info about keyword searches and such, but I’d like to see a step-by-step description of creating a PPC campaign and monitoring it through a cycle.
If any of my accidental readers know about such a course, please comment here or use the email link.
