Andrew Jones’ Blog

Hi!

I haven’t been keeping up to date reporting where I’m up to because it’s been a bit confused!

I’ve looked at several affiliate money-making products before, and not been impressed - I have a couple more to look at but at the moment I’m concentrating on the eBook business plans - from John Thornhill and Lee McIntyre.

I’ve been doing the John Thornhill Coaching Program and Lee Mcintyre’s Free Marketing Classroom/Internship Program (details on his blog) On John’s Coaching Program I’ve got as far as setting everything up for selling a short eBook about coping with insomnia (Insomnia a Simple Guide) and should be getting to driving traffic to that during the next week or so.

Lee’s Internship has just released the third weeks tasks, they’re supposed to take about ten hours, two hours per task most times - but on several I’ve taken well over that! So the Internship tasks are kind of a strain. The first tasks were keyword searching etc., but since then have been to do with writing blog posts and reviews for Lee’s products - so he’s getting something for his effort, while we learn how to publicise sites and products… the pace is quite a strain, considering the time required.

Although time is now at a premium for me, I still want to look at affiliate marketing (of other people’s products), as the set and forget approach is more appealing than the constant product development and release approach from John and Lee’s models. Also the eBay ban on eBook sales makes the previous model defunct, I’m still uncertain what the new model will be for getting traffic to the sales page… that may be explain in Johns Coaching program this week - so far I’ve seen the suggestion elsewhere that selling something on CD is the way around it, and there may be easy ways to do this automatically - otherwise you’d spend all your time cutting and posting CDs which is NOT an attractive prospect!

That’s all for now.

Cheers,

Andy.
