Affiliate Odyssey

So everyone seems to have heard of Jeremy Palmer and QuitYourDayJob.com - except me!

Well somewhere in the ether, I came across a new training course he’s running for affiliate marketers and what’s more, its free.

After my miserable failure on Eric Guigere’s One Post A Day (Eric didn’t succeed either BTW), I feel it’s time to accept another challenge requiring commitment - in this case 8 weeks.

Jeremy’s new course is called The Black Ink Project and claims to take an aspiring affiliate marketer from first principles through to a working affiliate program.

In his words:

The project focuses on four key areas:

• Setting realistic goals, based on your time and budget. You’ll discover how much time and money you need to invest to achieve your goals.
• Researching prospective opportunities. You’ll learn out how to avoid potential pitfalls and find the right niche and the best advertisers.
• Learning the software, scripts, and tools to help you create your site. You’ll not only leave the course with a complete tool belt, you’ll learn how to use your tools alone and together to create beautiful high-converting sites.
• Develop and launch a campaign from start to finish. At the end of the course, you’ll have a complete action plan and checklist you can use for future sites.

The course started yesterday, 5th May, with a webinar which ran at 3pm PST or 11pm here in the UK which is a tad late for me to have the necessary concentration levels. I plan to catch the recorded versions, broadcast the day after, so I’m looking forward the first session today.

I really hope I can keep up with this program as it seems to offer so much and I’ll of course be keeping a log of my progress here.

Can’t wait to get cracking…
