Awwwhh come on guys. I stopped here cos I thought I was gonna read on and on and learn all kinds of things. Don't stop now
What I have read so far has been very helpful, though
Hmmm where should I start??? Lots of areas to cover. Never in a million years would've thought I'd be doing this so hadn't any grand plans to start with. Can't really say much about what I would've done differently cos at the time I knew absolutely nothing. lol I had no clue whatsoever what I should have learned. Sure would've been nice to have known about here and my other favorite place. (learned most everything from there and some very nice and extremely patient affiliate managers who will never hear the end of me telling them how great they are lol )
Domain name would've been slightly different (didn't know then) definitely would've learned html and css first before trying to make a site while learning.
I'd say I would've done the niche but at the time couldn't find many ummm bears to try to sell. Still can't. Did actually start out waaaay smaller. Then cos I was small some turned me down when applying so then when some I may not have actually wanted did accept me actually ended up with more than I had intended.
Hmm here comes the oh I'm such a softie. Have some on my site cos I just don't know how to say no if an aff. mgr. writes me a nice email for the ummm how many times nicely inviting me to join their program. Even though I probably didn't really want them but will feel bad turning him down and obviously ignoring isn't going to make them stop sending them....Just can't seem to say no cos I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings....so more gets added to site. So...it's gotten pretty big now. Try as I might the items I am really passionate about or just really like usually aren't the products that sell.
I could go on writing for days but there are by now probably several posts in front of mine even though I started first. lol
Maybe I'll come back later for another post of the what ifs.
Yes I really am done now. lol
