I have to say that I tried a year ago some PTC an PTR sites, very frustating and time consuming if you don´t have a huge downline.

Now it´s time to implement the gained knowledge into get real money using affiliate marketing.

Thanks for sharing your stories with us.

LOL, I’d been meaning to read this post the last few days and finally got around to it. I think everybody’s tried ebay selling at one point or another. Back in the days, I tried making a variety of different websites, thinking I’d get everyone interested in my web-design services just by coming to the sites that I had made. Of course I was still quite young at the time, and obviously, it never worked out.

In 2000, I was one of the first to join SFI. I even was invited to North Carolina to meet with the brass. I was lucky to be handed free advertising on a search engine for a month. It was called epilot.com. I put ads on the search engine and cranked it to the number on spot. I had over sixty affiliates join in a months time. However, the down side is after the free ads were no longer available, my members began to drop out. I got discouraged and bad-mouthed the company to someone via email. They guy sent a copy to the company and they booted me out. I was making $600 a month at the time. I was crushed.

I think the key is advertising. If you don’t spend the money, you won’t make money.

Got you all beat! back in 1995 I put a webpage up with my modem connection for gas scooters. I got a merchant account and actually sold about 20 of those things (60% went overseas lol).

Then I started with viaweb (they later sold out to Yahoo stores) with my first online product businesses, it was fun at first (amazon had just come along) but after 9 years I got real tired of shipping product, customer service etc)

In late 05′ I picked up Jeremy Palmer’s High Performance Aff marketing ebook and never looked back! I still remember when I had my first $500 day of profit, and how I thought I was in heaven…

In 2.5 years I’ve gone from living in my Mother in Law’s basement and 100k in business debt to having our own home, cars and NO debt! I can’t stress enough how good a job AM is if you will just keep at it!

Too funny! I tried to do the sell online via eBay thing way back when (Gasp) selling beanie babies! Unfortunately I never bought the popular ones, and the majority of them are still in my attic somewhere. I think I spent more money on shipping than I made.

Oh well, it all worked out as future prep for working at MarketLeverage. Now I know what not to do.
