My Online Marketing Adventure
For many years I have been fascinated by blogs such as John Cow and John Chow, reading about how they seem to make a fortune every month through affiliate schemes and online marketing. A couple of times I’ve tried but failed miserably, but right now I feel determined to give it another shot – 3rd time lucky!
I’ve had a couple of ideas for websites that, in my mind, could bring in some cash through affiliate schemes and adsense. Last night I started putting together some simple site designs for them and I’m looking to get at least one up this week.
With running Clear as well I’m limited to 2 or 3 evenings a week and possibly some time at the weekends too. I plan to go slowly, but do things regularly. Where I think I’ve fallen down in the past is not being consistent with updates and marketing, so with my few evenings a week I’m putting together a plan of regular things to do each night, like updating the sites, posting on forums, tweeting and all the rest of it.
This also gives me the chance to add yet another thing to blog about here. With regular posts about how I am getting on, earnings summaries and articles based around my experiences. As I’m completely new to this hopefully my experiences will inspire other to follow a similar path, and I can show people that a complete newbie like me and you can make a bit of cash in this way. I’m not hoping for thousands a month like the big boys, anything I make will be a step in the right direction.
