StealthMoonlighter: The Online Marketer

Finally! Part 2 is here. More answers to the question “Are YOU the Next Great Affiliate Marketer?”

Well, this is just an “excerpt”, but it’s full of tips and tricks about what I know about affiliate marketing so far. You also get a good dose of what I try to pass off as sarcastic humor, but other people try to call it “wisdom.” I turned the full article into a Squidoo lens. Then I sliced and diced it up to create an article for HubPages. I’m doing this so that I can practice what I preach: the Cult of Nichenomics.

OK, so Nichenomics is not a full fledged “cult” yet, but it has potential.

Now, if you’re itching to follow something worthwhile and you’re not afraid of being “social” about it, I’ve been trying out a new membership site: Social Power Linking. It’s run by Jack Humphrey of the Friday Traffic Report and a cast of other very helpful folks. Social Power Linking is the only membership site I’ve had association with so far that’s truly over delivered. And I mean “over delivered” in a big way. If you want to see the whole Magilla, just pay them a visit.

I feel that some explaining is in order, since this “new” thing goes totally against my admonition to you in my Part 2 on Affiliate Marketing. It all comes down to having the prerogative of changing your mind when something does not work as you want it to.

To date, membership at SPL makes my 4th membership attempt this year. It’s not that I insist on being “over delivered” to. It’s that I don’t like paying a hefty monthly fee and getting a “basic” business in a box that I have to spend more time and money on in order to make it professional. In other words, if you’re eying my BlogLog and about to click on NicheRockets, just be sure you have time to spruce up whatever they send you each month before you slap it onto a domain. I only recommend them if you really, REALLY need content just to get something going and you’re open to accepting just about any “niche business of the month”.

OK, so Part 2 of “Affiliate Marketing — Are You the Next Great One?” is ready. Feel free to let me know what you think. And do pass it on if you think it will help someone else!

The day after I first read through Dustin Bow’s Nichenomics I went through and reprinted about half the book. The sales page for this course is correct — you can literally put this book next to your computer and start making money by following it step-by-step.

Since not everyone is at the same level of education when it comes to internet marketing there obviously has to be some detailed explanation. The reason I reprinted and put half the text into a folder was because I just needed a little “report” to go through and check off my progresses. That and the fact that I have a small desk and very little work area. I need to conserve space!

Nichenomics gives one of the best reviews of Web 2.0 strategy that I’ve seen for such an agreeable price. Of course, it’s up to us readers to actually put this into action.

Getting results won’t be easy for you if you’re still trying to wrap your mind around social networking. It’s really time to accept the changes that the Internet is going through and learn to make them work for you with this simple guide.

In case you need or want more fire power, Dustin currently offers two powerful upgrade options. I made a personal commitment to myself that I would not invest in anyone’s upgrade options until I could put the basic model to work and produce results. You may want to do the same if you’ve been burned by one too many product promoters, but ultimately the decision is your own.

I plan to go far with just the basic version of this book and my current knowledge of Web 2.0, and I’ve set up a “show & tell” blog for you to visit and even work along with if you’d like. Once you visit, you’ll see why I feel confident about creating success by using Dustin’s methodology along with a few other strategies I’ve got under my virtual belt.
