How did you get into affiliate marketing?

Thank you so much, Linda.
I've been having a bunch of questions and they will come to me in time. Glad to be somewhere where the experts hang out

I started in a roundabout way - I was working for LookSmart as an editor on the MSN directories + their open directory project Zeal.com, and gradually learned more and more about Internet marketing.

I started at Ecom Access in March 2005, and immersed myself in the retail affiliate world with our Share Results affiliate network.

I truly believe the partner model is the future of marketing. We're relative newbies, but we've been growing at a phenomenal rate the last few months, attracting merchants AND affiliates with our top-notch reporting and tracking software, anti-parasite and anti-spyware commitment and the just the general quality of the team we've assembled.

Eventually my friends and family will figure out what it is I do! Until then, it's fun knowing we're so far ahead...

Email me anytime,
Jen

MY way of getting into Online Marketing... isnt part of the poll...

Nothing fancy... just kinda stumbled into it... I was / am self-employed with a brick and mortor business... in 1993-94 I was involved with the local bullentin boards...

I started to hear a lot of buz about this "world wide web" thing... and how we were going to be able to expand our circle of friends and chat mates to a world wide arena...

At the first opportunity I signed up for internet access.... back then there was only a few 1000 websites... what a difference time makes...

I instantly saw the potential for $$$

It took me a couple of years to figure out I could leverage this new medium.. what can I say I am a not techie... I was a finish carpenter in my day job...

A lot of testing to learn the lesson of affiliates. The toolbar has the best information you need to become affiliates.

Happy Thanksgiving!
