About Me

I talk about affiliate marketing. My blog is all about that, and that is what I do full time. I am a lone wolf marketer from my home computer system, and I have been an affiliate marketer for 11 years. My specialty is SEO website creation and organic content marketing. I work in several niche markets, but mostly sporting goods. Bikes, windsurfing, wakeboarding, snowboarding, fishing and related markets.
