Hi

I am brand new here and to marketing, only been in it a couple of weeks, so I have a long way to go. I have read over some of the forum. I would like to get into the travel industry as an Affliate as I have been all over the country during the last 23 years, so there is a lot to blog about and write newsletters about. I haven't purchased your book yet but will be shortly. I am a member of Adland Pro. I really don't have much money to get started and was even wondering if it is possible after reading some of the last posts?

Greg

Hello Greg, and welcome to the forum!

Yes, it is absolutely possible to get started with no investment, but I would highly recommend that you do invest in Rosalind's "Super Affiliate Handbook". Then DON'T buy anything until you have read it cover to cover a few times and get an understanding of the basics. It is very comprehensive in it's scope and will provide you with multiple means to get started without major investments.

There are LOTS of helpful free tools and programs out there to help you build your business. Do your homework and research, there is a free tool out there to do just about anything you would have sunk money into a paid tool to do. Once you can afford to, there are a few worthy paid tools out there that will make things a bit faster & easier.

Apparently you have an extensive background in traveling which should give you ample unique content. To get started at minimal cost, start a blog. You can use Google's Blogger to get started for free and build your brand, then see which direction(s) you want to expand from there.

Buy SAH, study it and hit the ground running!

Good luck, and let us know how it goes for you!

Hello and Welcome Greg!

Nice to have you join our friendly little forum!

Perhaps you'd like to check what I'm doing in the travel industry... at http://Roamsters.com

This was a site that I started as an example for Anik Singal's and my course at http://BlogClassroom.com and it has been so much fun to do (because travel is what I live for) that I just kept it going.

And Griff's right... get the Super Affiliate Handbook at http://superaffiliatehandbook.com and then don't buy anything else until you've read through it and have started to apply what I teach.

You don't need to burn through a whole bunch of cash to learn how to become an affiliate blogger.

Wishing you the best,

Ros
