Well im a college student and music is pretty much my life. I just got started with this afiliate stuff. Signed up for a clickbank account and bought hollys book. I was just gonna shoot this idea out there and see what your guys opinions are on it.
I was thinking of doing a music download afiliate thing where I can write reviews on different bands and such. And post the link to a download site when a write the review. But im not sure wether its better for me to make my own music review website or just blog about it on blog sites.

Opinions would be greatly appreciated

Hello Hondaguy!

You know if you're just starting out I would definitely recommend that you consider making a blog. It's much quicker and easier and you can "get your feet wet", so to speak. You can probably write your reviews pretty easily since it is about a subject that you are interested in. If you have read Holly's book then you have a great resource to steer you in doing SEO to get your blog optimized for the search engines. Keyword research is good and will help you know what words to use in the titles of your articles and such.

One of the best things you can do for yourself is to Get Started! It is super easy to waste a lot of time studying and then worrying if you are doing it the right way. Like I mentioned a blog is pretty easy to do and you can set up one for free if you want ( I like blogger.com). No one will beat you with a stick if it's not perfect and it's the best place to learn without investing all the time involved in a website.

The best of luck to you,
Diane

Thats actually a very good idea!(although others have done it)

Really I think that you should make a nice looking website and review a bunch of differnt music. Than go to a board and write a review for whatever musican you want. Than provide a link to your site(preferrably to the page where you reviewed that particular musican).

So than when someone reads your review and says hey that sounds like a good. They just click on your link and download the music for the website.

Hope this helps!
