5 Star Affiliate Programs

stylemangi · #1 (**permalink**) 10-13-2006, 12:51 AM

Hi All,

Just thought I'd introduce myself. Just found this forum after many months of researching. Seems like a real friendly place to hang out and participate.

I'm new to affiliate marketing but greatly appreciate the opportunities and flexibility that it presents to my family and I.

I have just sold out of my various bricks and mortar businesses and am about to embark on affiliate marketing full time. I'm also in the process of uprooting the family and about to spend the next year living and travelling through the USA and Europe. Starting with the Affiliate Summit in Vegas.

Who knows, maybe I'll see some of you there.

Cheers

Welcome to 5 Star, stylemangi. Greeting to you in Australia.

You joined us at a reasonable hour in Australia. I'll do my best to welcome you considering it is about 3:30 in the morning where I am. But we are here at 5 Star 24 hours a day to try to serve our members.

I am glad you found us and it sounds as if you plan to take affiliate marketing very seriously. You also sound as if you have a very good attitude.

I've noticed that you have already started posting by giving an answer to a question. The good thing about 5 Star is that a person can ask for help and also give valuable help to others.

This is a very friendly community. I'm sorry that it took you many months to find us. I'm hoping this will be your favorite place to visit.

It is nice to have you as a member and I'm sure you will enjoy being a 5 Star member.

Hi stylemangi

Welcome to 5 star, Where abouts on the sunny coast are you from?

Did you watch the Broncos win the Grand Final?

Good Luck with the travels

Hi stylemangi,

Welcome to 5 Star. My what a nice bright outfit you are wearing today!

"I'm also in the process of uprooting the family and about to spend the next year living and travelling through the USA and Europe. Starting with the Affiliate Summit in Vegas."

Sounds like you are making some radical and exciting life changes. So much ahead of you! You are starting off right by going to the Summit and joining us here at 5 Star. Affiliate marketing CAN be a lonely and isolating business, so its important to stay connnected with POSITIVE people that can help you on your journey. Hope we can be a good resource and support system for you.

Thanks for the welcome guys.

Hi JamieF, Yes I did watch the game, its been a long time between drinks for the Broncos. I'm based at Maroochydore on the Sunshine Coast..I'm actually only about half an hour away from Australia Zoo for those that dont know the area.

Thanks for the Hello Linda, I see you like my avatar! I thought I needed something that reflected a little of who I was; and as I was born and grew up in Papua New Guinea, I felt that a Huli Warrior might just do the trick...although he does have a lot more hair than me.

I'm very much looking to make a start in the industry and I think the most frustrating part at the moment is picking that initial niche to get started in. Simply because getting an idea of the lay of the land is such a big task. Not to worry, I'm reading all of your old posts and faq's which should help.

I will be applying for those vagas passes shortly..hope to see you there!

Thanks

Good to see another aussie on the board - a Queenslander no less AND a Broncos fan!!

This forum gets better everyday.

Was that pic taken at Goroka? I really want to go to that festival.

FYI, there are several awesome affiliates living in your area - they get together every now and then in Brisbane for a chat. Sometimes they come down to sydney too.

Hi Rob,

Thanks for the welcome. Good to see other Aussies around. Mate I just saw your sig and I may be a customer for travel insurance soon as I am about to go on a year long trip with the family to the US and Europe.

Yes the Goroka Show is pretty good although its a little rough...funniest thing I saw on the Discovery Channel was seeing their journalist dancing with the rascals in front of the stage at a rock concert...he got rolled and had his wallet stolen. Crazy fellow. I was born there so I kind of know what NOT to do.

Rob, who are the other aussies on the board? I'd love to look around at all your posts and see how you do things as I am relatively new to affiliate marketing...I'm now off to read your posts.

Chat soon

Hi Ed,

I think there are only 3 aussies on this forum. You me and JamieF.

There is no really great online forum for Aussie affiliates. They are trying to get one going at a4uaustralia.com but it is struggling to get off the ground (though there are some VERY big aussie affiliates who regularly check that forum).

I usually announce here when there is a meet up (but you will be well served by going to the Vegas conference I imagine. I am hoping to go too)

What type of sites are you getting going for affiliate stuff?

Cheers,
Rob

There are others. If I get a chance I might list some of them. There is a relatively new member from Australia, and in Australia, with the username of Ash.
