Affiliate Progress

I’ve been a bit silent on Affiliate Progress recently, concentrating my efforts on a new blog which has taken off rather more quickly than I expected; but since I’m off for a fortnight’s holiday in a day or two I wanted to get my quarter three 2010 progress report posted.

It has certainly been an interesting three months, but things have progressed in a rather different pattern to how I expected.

So here is a brief run down of my achievements for this quarter, achievements against my 2010 targets, and new goals for Q4 and beyond. (more…)

I’m in curious mode today, and was wondering what it is that motivates you, my esteemed reader,  in setting up a passive income on-line?

If you are like me and are currently trying to develop your own passive income portfolio, then you will know just how much hard work is involved and how long it takes to see signs of success. In one of my previous posts – Why do You Want to be an Affiliate Marketer? – I said that unless you had real motivation that you will probably have little success on-line. There are obviously many valid reasons for wanting to earn your living on-line, and almost as many ways of achieving this, but in aiming to earn money using more passive methods (ie that continue earning with little maintenance once set up) you are aiming for a rather special goal. You are also writing off many other ways of earning on-line. So why would you do this?

I want to explore three of the possible reasons below, and then ask for your own specific motivations.

As one of the goals of my latest project was to try and increase my AdSense earnings, I wanted to find a way of managing the adverts with minimal additional work as I add content.

Some WordPress themes have built in features for this, but as the theme I chose for my new blog was without them, I needed to find some other way of handling my AdSense ads within my content and sidebars. (more…)

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.

Basically I want to try and ramp up my AdSense earnings, but at the moment I can’t devote much more time than I currently do to writing my own content.

See what you think…. (more…)
