The Point of this Blog

As an affiliate marketer, starting a website without spending hours researching keywords doesn’t feel very natural. For once I’m building a site (this one) without the goal being to make money. A search for “affiliate marketing blog” shows me the market is too competitive for that anyway. So this blog is really just for communicating my affiliate thoughts… hmm that could be a good domain name.

Occasionally I discover something or have an “interesting” thought related to affiliate marketing that I want to tell people, but I doubt my friends are interested in things like how turning a website’s logo upside down can increase conversion rates by an extra 0.5%. So this blog should help me get things like that off my chest.

This is going to be a no BS blog. There won’t be any tales of how I make $100,000 a day and will sell you the secret for $79.95. I won’t exaggerate my earnings or charge anyone for advice.

I don’t make $100,000 a day but I do live off affiliate marketing. My proudest affiliate achievement is a period which peaked with me earning over £1000 commission in a day. I’m not making anything like that at the minute (affiliate marketing has its ups and downs) but I am able to work whatever hours I choose from anywhere I can plug my laptop in.

I’m far from an affiliate marketing millionaire but I could help you learn how to make a living from the Internet without the risks of starting a traditional business. With affiliate marketing you’re risking your free time more than your money.

There will be affiliate links on Affiliate Thinking… hold on what’s site called again? Affiliate Thoughts will have affiliate links but I’ll make them obvious by marking them with a *. If you’d prefer not to help me out (because you don’t trust me or something) then you’re free to just go directly to the website without clicking my link. If you do click on the link, you can feel good that a little bit of the money that would usually go to the share holders of large corporations will instead go to me and encourage me to write more crap in my blog. If you do click on my affiliate links and buy from them, thank you very much.

Affiliate links aren’t the main point of this site, as I said, it’s mainly to get things off my chest and to help people out. Maybe karma will bring people to help me out too.
