Killing Fifteen Thousand in Debt in 09

My goal for 2009 is to pay off $15,000 of my debt. Specifically, I want to pay off my car, my student loan and my credit card debt.

Now (and take a moment to marvel at my math skills) I need to pay in 1250.00 a month to reach this goal. Currently I'm paying in a total of 700.00 on these debts, so I need to come with another 550.00 a month.

So how I'm going to do it?

Affiliate marketing. Specifically, affiliate marketing by way of article marketing.

Why?

Because writing is something I know how to do. It makes more sense to me to start with the thing I know how to do and exploit that rather than try to learn even more new skills at something like PPC while trying to get some cash in.

I've also had some success with a small experiment in article marketing last year, so I have confidence that I'll actually be able to make some sales. I've got three websites set up now, one for each of the niches I intend to promote, and I've done all the keyword research.

Right now, I'm waiting for my first parcel of articles to be posted. I'm going to try and keep this blog updated with progress, observations, random mumblings and the like. Thanks for reading.
