I’m going to take a little time every Saturday and Sunday to read over some of my favorite blogs and share the posts with you here. I like to relax on the weekends and pause building any new campaigns, just because that’s something I don’t want to have to stress about when I should be hanging out with friends, going to the club, and enjoying the freedom that any 9 to fiver would give themselves. I know some of you love to hustle 24/7, but I find taking a break gets me reinvigorated and ready to start something up on Monday. Anyways…

Affiliate Marketers Are Experts At Nothing – Finch comes out and tells it like it is. He’s a great writer,so be sure to look back and read his old posts. This one just talks about what real business equity you pick up with affiliate marketing as your only income source. Pretty much zero, but you can nurture your skills into something far greater that you can use to turn into a real business.

Keeping It Clean – Josh Todd writes on the GetAds blog about why mischievous affiliates are making it harder for the rest of us to make money.

How to Project Affiliate Earnings: 5 Metrics and Formula – Geno gives up good info about affiliate marketing metrics and how to use them. It isn’t a post based on CPL offers like you’ll get on EWA or the likes, but it includes many of the same principles that we use.

Testing Offers 101: From Red to Green Another post by Josh Todd, this time on InsideAffiliate, that covers the basics of testing new campaigns. This is the method that I, as well as many other affiliates, test our campaigns and analyze whether or not we think a campaign has the ability to become profitable or not.

Always Ask About Budget – Adhustler talks about a campaign he launched, only to have to pause it later because the advertiser hit their budget limit. A good reminder for newer and veteran affiliates.

How I Gained 92% More Email Subscribers – Jeremy gives up some good advice about building a list and what landing page layout worked the best for him. A great case study that was written not to swamp a niche. Classy!
