They say the water’s fine so here goes – I’m into my first blog.
I had never intended to do any sort of blogging, although I was intrigued. I originally thought, “Why would I be doing this? My thoughts are my own…”
Well, in looking for a way to increase my family’s cash flow (more in than out), I came across the concept of affiliate marketing. It took me a few weeks of surfing around to see whose program I would trust enough to buy into. I finally went ahead and bought Rosalind Gardner’s eBook ’Super Affiliate Handbook’.
That was almost a month ago. I am still researching the market niche I want to pursue, to work a market that I can enjoy working in, as well as profit from. This is the most important step in the whole process of getting going. Without a strong, keyword researched foundation the business will not succeed. I intend for mine to suceed, in the long haul. For more about Affiliate Marketing from Rosalind herself, visit her site at http://netprofitstoday.com. You can also review her blog & forum, and so on, as well.
So, why blog? In simple terms, consider this another method of exposure on the website to drive traffic to one’s website and to please a search engine’s spider’s “appetite”
I currently have a website presence at www.doskas.com. That is why my blog title is about “Hassle-Free Website Design” – that’s what I have done. I have pleased a number of good clients. This is a side business that is in a current state of lull for now. Since I am actively pursuing the research, etc., for my affiliate marketing business, this is what consumes what spare time I have to devote to it.
As ideas and actual solid content becomes available, you can here about it here, first!
Thanks & see you on the Web,
Dan

P.S. – I guess that wasn’t so bad.
Not bad, for poppin a bloggin’ cherry..now the real question. Will this be a personal blog or an “experiences in the web business world” blog?

This answer is evolving – I’m thinking this will be a series snapshot commentaries of my challenges to grow my affiliate marketing business.

Manish,
Thank you for the compliments. This is just a starter/freebie site, before I get my new affiliate marketing niche domain established.
I have learned a lot in the only 1 week of class content at blogclassroom.com.
The theme is an exisitng one I found on WordPress, & simply changed out the header picture, from a spot in the Carribean I was at in February of this year.
Take care,
Dan
