Today I’m tired as hell, but that’s a good thing. Why? I’m tired because I’ve been staying up late the last few nights going through the Clickbank Code video course. It’s great. I’m learning so many little details that I’ve never had the priveledge of access to before.
The video course is focused heavily on Clickbank, but it’s also such a great insight into how a big time affiliate marketer goes about his operations.
Dang, tough times out there for Amazon affiliates. These new taxes on affiliate marketing are really making some waves so far. First North Carolina and Rhode Island affiliates get dropped, now Hawaii.
Is this true? It can be. There’s lots of theories about whether or not you should build a list, but the hands-down opinion out there is that if you are able to build a list, you should. It will pay dividends.
Notice that I don’t have a list on this site yet? Ha. I just need to get around to setting it up.
Why do you need to build a list? There’s a lot of good reasons.
North Carolina has been the most newsworthy of the recent states to start trying to tax Amazon.com affiliates. Recently Amazon decided not to cave in to North Carolina. Now Rhode Island is getting the ax.
This seems like this is a trend. What will happen in the future with the rest of the states out there?
In another development on the Amazon.com/State of North Carolina affiliate taxes story, Amazon has started booting affiliates in North Carolina so that it won’t have to deal with the new state taxes that will affect affliliate marketing.
Well, after a long a thoroughly draining week at my day job, it’s time to start thinking about what I can do this weekend to push my affiliate marketing goals forward.
I hate weeks like this because I’m drained mentally already and still have to gain a little extra push just to keep working towards my goal of becoming a successful affiliate marketer. These are the tough days.
This is kinda the start of a new trend, which should be noted. States are broke and looking for money. They are going to try to start taxing more transactions on the Internet.
As I sit here and try to figure out what I want to work on next, I ponder. What have I learned so far when it comes to affiliate marketing? I’ve come a long way in a few months, but I still have a long way to go.
Here’s a few general bullet points regarding what I’ve learned and what I’ve experienced up until this point. Reviewing this makes me realize how much of a beginner I am right now, ha!
Just as soon as I proclaimed that I was going to stick with Google Adwords and a landing page to make my first profitable campaign, I read some things that got me thinking I should maybe open up my approach a bit. You see, I mainly want to stick with just a couple systems so that I get comfortable working with them before moving onto the next system. An example of this is using Google Adwords solely until I get it figured out and feel comfortable working with it before I start using any other search marketing advertising programs, such as MSN, Yahoo! and the like.
