In the second part I told you about my decision to become an affiliate marketer. In this part I will tell you more about my life as an internet marketer / affiliate marketer so far.
My experiences with Project Quick Cash
A couple of months ago I bought this product. It was not expensive at the time ($27), right now it’s sells for $77.. So that was an important reason to buy at the time. Another reason was that it was from a famous internet marketer (Alok Jain), and the idea "Quick Cash" sounded good.. I set up the website http://hotnewsaroundtheworld.com/ , in which I planned to incorporate news-items that are searched for using Google. I did a couple of newsitems, and I even got some traffic and comments. So the idea of Project Quick Cash basically worked. I know I can make this work, but at the moment I’m not working actively on this. Then I tried to automate the process of looking at Google Hot Trends, but didn’t succeed, it was too hard even for a programmer like me.
My experiences with phpBay Pro
I bought the product phpBay Pro because I wanted to make niche sites (product specific websites) to offer products that people are interested in. After I bought phpBay Pro, I wanted to register with the Ebay affiliate network. So I tried, but boy, boy was that hard. My application for becoming an eBay affiliate was refused. They didn’t give me a reason. After searching the internet to find out what I had to do, I found out many more people had this problem, it was very hard to get accepted. Basically what I found out was that eBay was written off by lots of people as an easy entry into affiliate marketing.

So I got a little discouraged, and my phpBay product is now gathering dust on my computer… Maybe I will wipe the dust off of it soon, and choose another affiliate network instead of eBay.
