Test, Test, Test…

I was kind of disheartening to see that my blog never showed up on Google; in fact, ironically, if you did a search on “carseatratings.tumblr.com” at one point, you got a link to this blog! So I am going back to the drawing board. The 30 Day Challenge - challenge portion is officially over, even though they are continuing with weekly education and tips. I still recommend anyone interested in affiliate marketing to go to that site and go through the training and the forums (I believe they are still allowing people to join). People pay a lot of money for the information provided in the free challenge.

The purpose of the training is to test your ideas to see if there is a market. If there isn’t, move on. Don’t fall in love with your niche if it’s not profitable. I have saved all the training, and I will spend a couple of days going back over it and give it another try.

I am also on the lookout for quality resources for people who want to go independent. I can’t think of a better time for people who truly want to go out on their own to do so. There are a ton of resources and communities that provide information, tools, and, more importantly, support. To start things off I am adding a link to one of my favorite resources - Freelance Switch to the blogroll. They provide information for Freelancers of all types.

The blogroll link is to their 101 Essential Freelance Resources (be sure to read the comments as well, the readers provide some of their favorite resources).

So, it’s back to the proverbial drawing board regarding the the 30 Day Challenge. I have several other niches to try out.
