Hi Everybody,
I have just come across your site and I can?t get over the wealth of knowledge that is here so I thought it best to sign up and say hello. But I?m afraid there is another reason for me joining , I need some advice on the whole world of affiliates both from the merchants and publishers point of view.
I?m based in Ireland and have been running a website for nearly a year now, it?s going ok but the any advertising that we have done just doesn?t seem to work and what has worked has all been web based. So now we have put a lot of effort into launching an affiliate program and we are just about getting it off the ground.
We sell solely to Ireland so we are predominately trying to recruit Irish publishers and this is where the problem lies, there are very few here, but the more I read and learn the more interested I get in the publishing side of things and I would now like to try and take some baby steps into this sector. I?m not looking to make my fortunes in this but would like to think of it as a hobby and would like to see if I can send new traffic to my site.
I face a number of steep hurdles and the biggest of these are my lack of development skills, the only java I know about this the kind you drink.
So I guess my question is where could I start? I write a number of articles on a blog each week and after reading the various article submission threads on this forum I think that this may be a reasonably good starting point.
Well thanks for taking the time to read this and if anyone has any suggestions or can help to point me in the right direction, I would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks again
