OK Here Goes
Morning all, new here as you will probably notice and trying to get my head around the reams and reams of information on here.
I am strictly speaking a newb at all this, though I do have some background and understanding. Many moons ago I used to make my beer/socialising money from affiliate sales, mostly in adult before jobs and life got in the way a bit. This was the early days of the internet and making a few ££ was as simple as falling off a log. With hindsight why did I ever stop.
What I would like to do is to try and and generate a living from this, and would ideally like some pointers as to which direction to head as a newbie starting out. I feel I could actually drown in a sea of information here without a bit of guidance if I'm not careful.
So suggestions welcome as to where to focus my efforts initially. I am likely to be in the situation early in the new year of being able to set aside twelve months to have a proper crack at this, having money to live on and a roof over my head which is also paid for. This means that budgets for investing will be tight, but I'm kind of hoping that time and elbow grease being available would outweigh maybe a larger budget and a lot less time.
What can I do? I can write reasonably well, have some familiarity with Wordpress (have blogged for pleasure for several years) basic knowledge of html and site building/hosting etc and have worked for over a decade in sales so have some ability there too. I have a number of affiliate accounts set up as well as a Google adsense account which is functioning.
Any suggestions on an opening strategy to read/learn/act upon would be gratefully considered. I'd like to focus my efforts early, I know that with my character I'm liable to work like hell and achieve nothing due to a scattergun approach if I'm not careful.
Hopefully this post is not breaking any rules (I did peruse them first) and I look forward to any suggestions from those of a more experienced hue.
