I wanted to start a thread about what drives one to enter the affiliate marketing universe. It is a very unique business niche; meaning it is not taught in any classroom and many of the trade secrets are closely held to the chest.
I studied Economics and Statistics in business college. I was a programmer at a young age writing code for the early aol "tools" in the mid 90's at the age of 11 with VB C++. Thus, it seems that affiliate marketing provided a daily challenge and a lucrative career path with the freedom to work where I wanted and when I wanted. I should probably get an M.S. in computer science for my graduate studies for the hell of it.
I got started in my dorm room 3 years ago and wasn't making shit at first. I was promoting dating sites with reviews and driving traffic any way I could with minimal capital. I started reading Wicked Fire and determining what did and didn't work through months and years of trial and error. I did learn alot, however and never gave up.
Affiliate marketing is not for pussies.
I started making some money when I discovered CPA and how to promote effectively. I'm now on the verge of graduation and have no need to find a 9-5...
