P-squared, very appropriate.

Yes, passion is the heart and soul of it all.

When I was first introduced to Internet Marketing, I couldn't get enough. I knew I had found my true second career. I got totally immersed. I found myself constantly saying, "I love this game." I loved doing adwords and doing my best to learn and build websites. I was anxious for success too.

I got involved with low cost work from home digital products thinking this should be easy and it should be a hungry market. I was focused. But as time went by I learned more and researched more and I began to question what I was promoting. Such as surveys and dataentry. I would ask myself, "would I be happy investing what little disposable income I have on this?" No began appearing all too often.

So I took myself out of the game and sat on the bench for a while. In my heart I knew I wanted to be a successful Internet Marketer. I traded myself down to the instructional league and basically starting over to rid myself of bad habits and create new ones that are productive.

So I ended up here among other places and got the good feeling. So beginning my climb up to the big leagues by following my bliss, finding and researching quality products and services that provide value to customers and building one brick at a time. Build something solid that I am proud of not something I have to whisper about or avoid admitting at all.

Tony, you are so right about Dr. Ken Evoy. You can feel the passion in all his books and manuals. Passion about SBI, quality, simplicity, overdelivering and his daughter.

Follow your bliss for sure but also research it well.

This is so true. I have been doing affiliate marketing for about a year and it has been a long learning experience. I would say that the best way to learn is to read forums like these and try new things. What I have learned about affiliate marketing is that it builds on itself. You HAVE to put the initial work out to get to the pay off and the work is time consuming.

Building websites, writing ebooks, squeeze pages, etc. takes a lot of time and work. I use all of my spare time to work on things because once I have one of my projects done, it feels so good because it then goes on autopilot for the rest of my life! I love that! It's what makes me absolutely love affiliate marketing. The rewards for your work never end.

Wink How inspirational this Forum is!

Wow great posts.

As I was reading this thread a line from that movie (the title I can't recall) kept going through my head:

Remember when Kevin Costner took so much and care and had so much passion about building that baseball field, he kept at it, destroyed his crop field even though everyone thought he was trippin and yet he knew had to do it,and those voices in the field kept whispering "IF YOU BUILD IT THEY WILL COME" And HE BUILT IT and THEY CAME!!!

Default article sites

There are thousands of them,
ezinearticles
articledashboard
goarticles
articlecity
wetpaint
ehow
Squidoo
Hub Pages
Associated Content

those are some of the top good ones.

You can also do automatic submission to thousands of sites at once instead of sitting and doing manual submission one by one. These are paid services but they do have free versions:

rjcharley,

Jack Humphreys posted a list of article submission sites. You can seem the list on his blog Friday Traffic Report.

Hope this will help you a bit.
