Who said you can't turn a give-away product into income?

After all, who doesn't love a free product? If something is really useful and it's free... I definitely want it!

Part 1 of 3: Affiliate marketing - What type of internet marketer are you? (or how to choose your online business model)

A friend of mine recently asked, “Chris, what’s the best type of internet marketer for me to be?” I answered, “That depends on whether you prefer creating your own products, marketing other people’s products or marketing content. What are you best suited to? How important is keeping all the money to you? Do you consider being a merchant is a hassle? And these aren’t the only questions.”

My introduction to marketing started at the tender age of eight, when I was dreaming of a new toy for Christmas. I had my heart set on a 'Hot Wheels' set and for only one reason: the person doing the voice-over for the commercial made owning it sound... so advanced... so exciting!
