Affiliate Progress

It has been a hugely busy week for my offline work, and I can see it remaining like that for some time to come. So I was glad that I managed to get my new blog project that I discussed in my last post started over the previous weekend.

I just thought I would share a few details of what I’ve been doing so that it makes more sense in forthcoming progress reports. (more…)

I’ve been chewing over an idea I came up with and thought it would be worthwhile discussing it in a blog post to see if you have tried anything similar in the past.

It’s no secret that it’s a tough old game trying to earn a living online, and there are certainly plenty of people out there who will go to almost any extreme to separate people from their hard earned cash. Compromising your values is surely no way to go about earning a living – but are you simply trying to compete with one hand tied behind your back if you try to adopt an ethical approach to marketing? The problem is, just as your background, upbringing and influences are sure to be different to mine, your values are equally likely to differ.
