Hello from North Carolina
Posted: Tue, 19 June 2012, 5:30 pmHi gang.
I'm a small business owner (company of one), owning a business that does website design and hosting.
While I like doing those things, I'm starting to get frustrated at the lack of steady money they bring. This is mostly because clients take forever to get things to you so you can start or continue a project. It's hard to budget bills when you don't know when projects are going to be finished. I've tried setting up a schedule and having penalties when clients cause the schedule to extend, but I only ended up losing customers.
So, I've decided to start doing affiliate marketing. I have no trouble setting up the necessary website and such, but it's getting the quality, targeted traffic to the sites that is the issue. Oh, I know all about SEO and SEM techniques (as I've successfully used them for my clients' sites to get them started), but I've never been successful in getting traffic to click on affiliate links and buy from those companies.
I'm also doing a smattering of other things (Like Clixsense, MyBrowserCash, etc) to help make some money.

) and I custom build, repair, fix operating systems, remove viruses and sell computers and parts. I also have other small online projects, and between all of these ventures I am able to make good money working primarily with computers.
