Extra income for programmers
Ok, for years, I’ve programmed, run my own company, consulted, essentially tried every aspect of programming. What I’ve come to realize is that, as a programmer, there are mainly 2 ways to make more money. One, increase your hourly rate, or 2, work more hours. Well, I always like to go for option 1. But, there reaches a point where you plateau at a certain rate. So, what do you do next.
Well, I’ve been looking to find what I call a scalable option. What do I mean. Well, I’d like to build something once, then have it earn money for me over time, forever. Sounds cool right. Well, from what I can tell it does exist. But, I have to admit, I haven’t mastered it yet.
The key I’ve found that could be the answer is affiliate marketing. If structured correctly, this could be a one time setup and long term income. The cool thing is that the amount of technical knowledge necessary is low. After all, the programming to do the sites for an affiliate marketing campaign is simple HTML, so we could probably do this in our sleep now. So, the amount of new knowledge that must be gained comes in the form of tracking and analyzing statistics.
So, I went out looking for a solution. What I found immediately is that affiliate marketing courses cover all types of topics, Twitter, PPC, Facebook, MySpace, LinkedIn, SEO, etc. In addition, the costs are all over the board, some high, some low. And, you don’t know which one to use. Why? Well, each one of the programs is trying to sell you. And of course they’re all making millions of dollars (at least that’s what they claim.)
Therefore, I set up a new site www.affiliatemarketingtop10.com. Why? Well, I wanted a site where I could and everyone else could compare, and review these programs. A solution for all of us that want to learn, but don’t want to spend a ton of cash trying to figure it out. So, if you’re interested in learning a little more, and seeing a comparison, check it out. Hopefully, it will help you. It definitely helped me just to see the monetary comparison and the value each affiliate marketing course offers. So, check it out here.
