I am desperate to find a way to start my own home based business, and affiliate marketing seems good because there is virtually no start up cost (I’m broke). Is this something likely to bring in a real income?

I will follow you… hahaha…

This idea is great and I think it can generate as much income as it can be.

I agree..some may look at the 8 dollars as a lot…as dumb as that sounds when one sale can make you 25 like you stated. Affiliate sales are great, and getting better…especially around the holiday/winter times.

Have you tried Zen Cart? My wife has set up stores for a lot of websites and Zen Cart is the one we recommend.

I’d say it’s better to focus on content and traffic than taylor around an affiliate. You can make decent money from banners and intellitxt especially with the content rich postings you have, as opposed to brief blurbs in each post.

Quite an interesting idea to make some extra money during the holidays. $8 and a little elbow grease is a really insignificant investment when you factor in how much money the blog storefront could make you.

Yeah, the money thing is what worries me. A lot of the people I talk to talk about putting thousands into it and I just don’t have thousands to throw into something like that…my wife would kill me. ha ha.

Haha, maybe that would work. I’ve done a little bit with PPC affiliate marketing, but I’m not sure I have the patience for it all. I wasn’t extremely successful with it, I think it takes more time and money than I could commit to it.

Yeah, that’s a good point. Even in your failures there are always lessons to be learned. Maybe I should go back and read my own blog post about trying and failing a did a couple weeks ago?

Do you have any experience with PPC Affiliate Marketing?

Hey Deron, you’re right that there is time invested in it, but the way I look at it is I’m learning a lot of things while I go. There is more than just monetary gain here and if the store doesn’t hit it off right away I can always hold onto it for the long term investment.
