with google adsense making me half of what i made in one month last year in the past 3 months and barely covering hosting while traffic has increased i've decided to look for alternate means and affiliate marketing seems to be a great way to go. I've been reading a lot about affiliate marketing lately and some big paychecks to get me motivated , and based on what i've gathered if you are planning to do it with a blog you need tons of traffic, currently i get 20k impressions a month, i don't know how far that could take me, i occasionally review paid software on my blog so for starters i signed up with regnow, shareit, CJ and placed some affiliate links at the bottom of the review masking the links with redirects. That's about how much i've done so far, for the experienced on affiliate marketing who've exploited this income method i'd be grateful if you could share what i could do from here based on what YOU would do from this point, is the traffic i have enough to get me started? what other ways can i promote affiliate marketing other than a blog? is twitter any good? (i have 8k followers) bear in mind, based on my first statement, you'd know i barely have any investment, just to let you know. Any advice, tips, guides, resources would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance.
