Hello,
I just joined this forum, and am in the 'newbie whirlwind' that has my head spinning. I was working in the construction industry until my mother had gotten sick recently. I decided to stay home and care for her myself, and now I have to find a way to make money from home... affiliate marketing seems like a viable solution. I never built a website before, but I now have 2 online that I am currently writing content (articles) for. Unfortunately, the funds I have available to invest in my new business in next to nothing; I do have a boatload of enthusiasm, passion, need, and even desperation at this point.
Everyone seems so helpful that I am in hopes that I might get some needed direction. Thanks to all in advance. Here is what I have, currently am, and plan to be doing:
* I built two sites whose topics I have interest in. (they are pretty basic as of now, but I am learning as much HTML as I can online [free information])
* I am writing, not posting, about 3 articles a day. I am saving the articles until I am ready to start driving traffic.
* I am planning to start driving traffic to my site once I have about 15 articles in reserve per site. I will then post 3 articles on my sites, then add 1 article every other day. I will try to keep a +10 article reserve so that I can continually add new content.
* I plan to submit one article every other day on Ezines (and like posting sites) to attempt to drive traffic.
* I plan to start social networking via linkedin, facebook, and twitter.
That is the basic plan. I have no choice but to succeed. I have my Fianc'e, and my mother relying on me. I am honestly scared to death, but I can't allow myself to be bogged down with fear. As Yoda said "do or don't do, there is no 'try'.
Thank you again.
Keith
