eAction

Last time I talked of subscribing to free ezines of the netpreneur-gurus and reading between the lines for the advice you can’t afford to buy from them. Now I can only stress again the value of reading those ezines.

In 2005 I decided to switch to a Linux operating system. In my ignorance I had to do it over a few times, until I caught on and did it right. But all that meant that I lost months of work time, and time reading my ezines. I just filtered them all into a folder and let them sit. Well, lately I’ve been getting around to them, and even the old issues dating back to October and November, turn out to have valuable tips and clues to better ways of doing my business.

Not only that, I’m discovering some new affiliate programs. Oddly enough, in recent months I had got so absorbed in updating my web sites and cutting out deadwood links, and had dropped some affiliate programs, that I hardly thought about affiliate marketing much. Now I realize that I tried out too many of them, and it was good to do some housecleaning in my affiliate programs, but hey, when I spot what looks like a good one, the old bravado is back. What can hurt? I’ll sign up and slip in some good links and see what happens!

As I’m polishing off my site make-overs, I’m beginning to think more like a marketer and promoter again. This time I think I’ll be in a more advanced class learning how to do this well!
