Quit Your Day Job - New Year Affiliate Tips

[Linda Buquet]

Jeremy Palmer owns Quit Your Day Job and is a top Commission Junction Affiliate. In fact he won the CJ Horizon Award for Innovation which was presented at CJU 2005. The award states in part: "Jeremy has become one of the most productive, compliant, and responsive publishers in the Commission Junction network earning him CJ Performer status. An invaluable source of original feedback and insight, Jeremy endeavors not only to succeed in his own program, but also to drive superior strategy and results for both advertisers and his publisher peers."

Jeremy explains on his blog how quickly he got started and acheived success in the affiliate marketing industry. "I've been working as an affiliate since late 2003.
