Hi y'all! I have a few questions about writing articles. I've read the e-book and I've decided that that's the way to start--writing articles and having an affiliate link in it.

1. How many articles should I write/how many products should I review to start out? What's a good way to jumpstart it? I don't want to be like the majority of people who read everything but don't take the initiative to put it into action.
2. I'm a bit confused--do you just write the article, and then submit it to the four sites in the e-book? Or do you need a website to host them on? I'd really prefer making some money off affiliate sales and whatnot before investing in a website.

Thanks everybody

A few article submission sites allow you to include affiliate links in the article (like GoArticles) but many don't. What you do:

Make a free blog in blogger.com
Write about what you are selling, give information, promote it, etc, put your affiliate link(s) there.

Submit articles to article directories, and include in your AUTHOR BIO a link to your blog.

That way you spend no money.

For a (somewhat disorganized for now) list of hundreds of article submission sites you can go to my blog post:

Or you can save lots of time and get one of those article submission software services. I just started to try two of them, since they have money-back guarantees, and I like them a lot! (I also have links to them at my blog if you want to check )

Wow!!! I was getting a little discouraged, but your reply really rejuvenated my motivation...I've started and made my first blog, and I'm working on writing my first review and submitting it everywhere Thanks so much!
