What's your biggest affiliate marketing concern?
If your approach is anything like the hundreds - no, thousands - of affiliates whose questions I've fielded over the years, your primary concern is probably how to get more traffic to your site.
What I've discovered while reviewing their sites however, is that these affiliate marketers are putting the cart WAY before the horse.

Business is “the exchange of resources for mutual benefit”. It’s a simple statement of cause and effect.
The Worst Mistake You Can Make as an Internet Marketer
The biggest mistake I see online marketers make is that they aren't building their own mailing l
It's a HUGE faux pas, and here's why.
Customers must be exposed to a product an average of 7 times before they buy.
So, if you don't have a way to contact a surfer after their first visit to your site, how do you remind them about your product six more times?

Working For Yourself VS the Job Security
This week's edition (March 14th -20th 2009) of The Economist focuses on the job crisis and
