Linda Buquet links to some very sage advice from super affiliate Jeremy Palmer… grow slow. Start thin and then let your site grow into a fat and overweight middle aged affiliate (you’ll see enough of those skantily dressed for the Miami heat at Affiliate Summit this July). There’s something to coming off the starting grid at full speed, but make sure you save something for later in the race. Affiliate marketing is a marathon… not a sprint.
Start thin and grow fat! Jeremy shares some wisdom and suggests you test market by 1st building a quick & easy THIN affiliate site for PPC. Then build it out into a FAT & STICKY affiliate site, after you’ve proven to yourself the viability of the niche and are sure it’s a topic you want to put additional energy into.
