In this episode, I list the six reasons why affiliate marketing is the best kind of internet business to start, especially if you are new to internet marketing. I also give you an update on the Corn Sheller and Snoring sites. Finally we discuss a tip for the week — the mighty checklist!
I also remind listeners that the we are planning a meetup on Tuesday, September 11th.
Shout out to The Godfather, Don Corleone for kicking off the show.
This is the 34th episode, and I kept to the weekly publishing schedule again. I missed hit my Thursday deadline! Shooting for the next episode on Thursday Sept 13. As always, I will keep trying until I can make it happen.

In this show, I discuss:
- The North Dallas Late Night Meetup – we are set for next Tuesday, September 11, 2012 at the Londoner Pub in Allen. If you are coming, let me know by leaving a comment.
- The Corn Sheller site experiment. Traffic is coming back. You can see some site stats below. In the stats, you can see the distinct signature of Penguin, some Google dancing, and apparent progress from link building.
- The Snoring Site experiment. So far, no good. Updates to follow.
- Never put Mayonaise on a hamburger
Why Affiliate Marketing Is The Best
- 6 Reasons why affiliate marketing is the best
- You don’t need your own product
- You don’t need customer support
- You have less business complexity (including taxes, in my non-professional opinion)
- You have less legal complexity (in my non-professional opinion)
- You have less business risk (think Yoga mats)
- The value of checklists. I talk about the book Checklist Manifesto. Really cool book.

Mark,
Loved the comment on Whataburger!!! I met up with Whataburger when I was stationed in Texas during my time in the US Coast Guard 25 years ago. Whataburger came here to central Alabama about five years ago and my family are Whataburger freaks on Friday nights. There isn’t a better burger out there in the fast food circuit, in my opinion! I also dig me a taquito at least one morning a week.
Also I read the Checklist Manifesto when I went through UAB’s IEM program (http://www.uab.edu/iem). Great book and excellent reminder about a low-tech solution with widespread application. Thought that was a great shout-out also.
Anyway, keep up the great work. I’m still trying to get traction with my site. I’m working on informational products, coaching, and seminars, and would really like to get affiliate materials out there for sale too. Problem is I haven’t targeted any really good products so I haven’t made much progress.
Thanks again – you rock!

Great content I really like this Mark. You covered off loads of information and theres loads to learn. Thanks.
Hi Mark. Great show as always. I was very impressed with your car podcasting. How did you do it? I might try the same…
Wow — you have a Yes podcast!!!! I never even thought to look for such a thing. I can’t wait to listen to that. I saw Jon last with ABWH in about 1990 or so I think (I can’t even remember.)
Thanks for the compliment. In the car I used my Edirol Digital recorder with its build in condensor mics. I think you could get a lot better result with some sort of noise-canceling lapel mic — but I have not figured that out yet. After the recording, I did a little “noise reduction” in Adobe Audition.
Hope that helps.
Mark
Thanks Mark. I’ll let you know how I get on… Hope you enjoy my little show!
