Hello all,
My name is Adam. I live in Washington State with my wife and 2 children. I have been looking for a way to earn money from home for a long time now. My wife and I both work different shifts and have very little time to spend together. Family time is difficult to come by. I realized that working a traditional job working for someone else was not going to allow me to enjoy my family the way that I want to.
I have bought into more get rich quick schemes than I like to admit. I'm tired of all of the promises with nothing gained but a lighter wallet afterwards.
I ran into affiliate marketing when I decided to try to create my own Yahoo online business. I was not successful with that because I had difficulty sourcing the products that I was trying to sell. It seemed that my competition always knew where to find better deals.
I read a number of books written by web-business gurus as well as a couple on affiliate marketing.
The one that I read recommended building multiple mini-sites to promote your affiliate programs and just use pay-per-click ads for marketing. He recommended building a opt-in list etc. I wasn't sure how to create a mini site and had very little money, so I thought I might skip the website portion and simply place my affiliate link directly on the pay-per-click search engines. I'm sure you are all aware that this is not wise. Sixty dollars later without a single sale convinced me that I was doing something wrong as well.
Anyway, sorry to make this so long. I am starting from scratch here. I am thinking about starting a content site with SiteBuildIt. I don't know what theme I'm going to pick yet. I don't have much time for hobbies, so I'm afraid I have very little when it comes to passions to create a site around.
I was wondering if any of you have any pointers for me. Also, does anyone have a successful content site that I can take a look at for some inspiration?
Cheers,
Adam
