In my search for a presence on the internet- I searched many avenues- but was finding more scams and dead ends than I would care to speak about.

It was one last scam and six months of my presence on the internet that I realized that the only way I could possibly make a living on the internet -- and gain any amount of satisfaction --was to work for myself. Duh! But how? Affiliate Marketing seemed to be the answer.

What is Affiliate Marketing?

Affiliate marketing is the promotion of another person/' s or company/' s product- in which you get a percentage of the profit if a sale is made. That doesn/' t sound so hard- does it? Well -- it/' s doeable if you have the information you need to get you started in this field -- and it is work. So let me begin the enlightenment.

First and foremost- you need passion?

What is Passion?

Passion is a feeling that you have -- a feeling that is so strong that it is your driving force in doing it.
As you can see- passion is needed in any venture if you want to succeed. With passion- it will drive you forward through the hard times- the bad times- and the good times when developing your business.

This passion thing- I must admit- was my first stumbling block. I believed I didn/' t have a passion for anything -- and feared that maybe- just maybe- the corporate world and it 70 hour work weeks may have consumed my passion.

However- I was not willing to give up. Not yet. I searched out sites- read articles- examined web sites -- in search of my passion. Then one day- in the
middle of my research- I heard myself asking probing questions of -- Why?
Where? When? How? My passion was found.

Research- curiosity and learning -- my strengths and my driving assets. My creation -- "My Affiliate Place"- was born. It would be a place where an affiliate marketer or a want-to-be affiliate marketer could find information- articles- and free tools.

So- I say to you- if I can find my hidden passion- you can too.

Onward and upward --with my passion defined- I needed a web site.
Web site! Do I need one?

Many people say you can do affiliate marketing without a web site -- however- with a website you can promote more than one product and reach a greater number of people with the same interests. And last but not least- marketing is the act of connecting with people -- and on the internet -- a web site is your vehicle.

Web Site Is Built. Now What!

Now that your web site is built- you will need to begin the promotion process.
There are many avenues in which you can venture. To name a few:

1. safelists
2. ezines
3. classified ads 4. writing articles
5. Off-line advertising -- brochures- flyers
6. Search engine optimization -- To get help in this area- go to my web site at: www.myaffiliateplace.biz/affiliate_info -- to begin your optimization process.

As you can see- advertising is only limited by your own imagination.

To conclude- affiliate marketing is a viable way to begin your journey on the
internet and to your own business. But as you know- with anything that is worth having- you must work diligiently and passionately- and continue to grow and learn -- if success is to be yours.

To your success.
