Smile Hi Everyone...Paul from Indiana here

I have been trying to give affiliate marketing a go since I was laid off almost a year ago. My wife and I are fostering 4 of our 6 grand kids, so the money is desperately needed as we are now in the adoption stage. I do enjoy being able to be where the kids need me, when they need me, and be home for homework, basketball games, church and school programs, etc. I have learned SO MUCH in the past year...unfortunately, making money hasn't been one of them...lol. I am here to gain knowledge and develop relationships with you brilliant folks, and hope I can return my knowledge when need be. I'm very happy to be here!

Thanks for listening,
Paul



What's a trackback?

Hi Paul,

Welcome to 5 Star. Thanks for joining us.

Thanks for sharing your story! Sure hope we can help you earn some money in affiliate marketing.

Even though you've been learning and trying this for a year I still think the following suggestions may be helpful.

It's normal to feel overwhelmed and frustrated when you 1st start out. It's not easy to get started and there is no surefire path the success. Lots of ways to get started and no one way is good for everyone. But with focused effort and lots of learning, you can get there!

Be sure to check out all the stickies in the newbie forum as they are some of the best threads to read when you are getting started. They will help give you lots of ideas that have worked for other newbies and give you a better general understanding about how to get started.

Then the most important thing for starters is picking the right niche. The newbie stickies will explain that, then go to the niche marketing forum and you will find lots of tips and tools for finding your niche.

Ask specific questions after that and we will do our best to help.

(Don’t worry about Trackbacks, that's mainly for my use. If I quote someones blog I send a trackback which lets the blogger know we are talking about their story here.)

That's about the age range of my sister's kids, a boy, 10, and twin boys, 9, but she has a 9-month-old girl too. It's a zoo for sure.
