The first steps on the internet

The first year or so on the internet for me was like riding a bike for the first time as there was this whole world online that needed to be explored, and that's what I did, I stumbled from one work at home opportunity to the other, get rich schemes that seemed rather suspicious and just seemed too far fetched to be believed as fact and I threw these slabs of fiction to the curb.

As time went on I found myself researching about affiliate marketing and how to start affiliate campaigns and build an affiliate business, as this was something that was real and seemed real to achieve, although with affiliate marketing there is always aspects of trial and error that make you stronger in confidence to go further and mistakes are there to be made and overcome.

I must have spent countless hours late at night tiring myself out, some times goofing off, posting in places like mylot just having a laugh and just participating in topical discussions, but for the most part I researched how to do affiliate marketing and also more importantly how not to do it, the right way is better than the wrong way, for example affiliate link redirects are far more effective than bare affiliate links that could get thefted by thieves and hijackers.

What I mainly learned is that you have to take your knowledge of what you know and share it with people who will be interested and perhaps pay for the information you refer them to or it could be a product or service that you have created.
