Affiliate Marketing Sweetie by Alice Seba Are you tired of all the “miracle” Affiliate marketing software and products being peddled out here? Have you ever bought a piece of software that promised you quick Internet riches, only to find the software produced garbage to spam search engines – likely to get you banned from Google, Yahoo and MSN? Yeah, me too. The good news is there IS a way for you to make it in affiliate marketing without taking out a second mortgage on your house or spending all your time chained to your computer. And thank goodness, you don’t have to fall for any of these shady programs again. More Info … |

Affiliate Manager Sweetie by Alice Seba If you’ve thought about starting your own affiliate program or already have a program that’s not living up to your expectations, this is going to be good news for you. It’s no secret that running your own affiliate program allows you to recruit your own sales force that you don’t have to pay until they produce results. That’s a great deal – but how do you ensure sure you ACTUALLY get those affiliates that produce results? Sometimes it’s not so easy but Alice Seba has it covered for you in her Affiliate Manager Sweetie course that has been dubbed the "Step-by-Step No-Fluff Guide to Affiliate Management". The title is certainly well-deserved. More Info … |
Here is the Affiliate Manager Software I love too:
Roc Talk

Brent Reilly of PC Computer Help gives us some informative tips on what to look for when buying a laptop.
I know I did not stress this enough in the podcast, but I do believe that the new Macs are the way to go for a new laptop. That is… if you only want a black one or a white one. NOT ME. You are able to run Windows on the new Macs now. I really like OS X and it is very simple to use. The next podcast will be on Macs.
Web Whys?

i just watched the video of the link I sent for the Lambo VX2. I couldn’t understand a damn thing he was saying. I was laughing so hard I didn’t hear anything after a while. New lesson #452: never let someone who does not know how to speak English…speak English….hehehehehe
Tawnya – you always have exactly what I need, exactly when I need it…how do you do that? It was a great production as usual, thanks for all your hard work 🙂
Tawnya – WOW! What a great resource. We’ve been listening to these shows and they are full of great information. We are fairly new to the VA industry and have found the information in these shows extremely useful. Thanks for all you do and keep up the great work.
