An Intermediate's Guide to Making a Buck.
In the last ten years I have found that the services provided to get beginners off the ground in affiliate marketing has increased year by year. In fact there seems no shortage of people who want to come into the industry. Unfortunately, the number of people who leave the industry is remarkable as well, be it for lack of funds or lack of understand how the process actually works.
Having said the above, its gratifying to see people reading this page because it means they feel they have reached a certain level of expertise and an ability to extend their wings a bit. A hardy slap on the back is warranted! 
Unlike other more hiarchical industries that have an established path for training from noobie, to beginner or novice, to journeyman or intermediate, and then advanced, this industry seems (IMHO) to provide less hand holding and structureed instruction others. The moment you "graduate" from the "University-of-oh-my-god-information-overload" and then move into the "Brave-new-world" of on-the-job-training, you may feel decidedly like you are on your own.
Well, you are not on your own! You would probably be surprised to find out just how many people are willing, eager even, to help you with your current problem or crisis. There are quite a few places where you can get expert help (or even just a bunch of laughs from people on the same path as you). I will take this opportunity to tell you about what I feel is the best place to find thousands of diamonds in the rough that will propell you down your affiliate marketing career.
You owe it to your self to sign up at the Warrior Forum.
No! The Warrior Forum is not a bunch of grizzled crotchety retired military armchair affiliates! "Warrior" is simply a metaphore emphasizing the fighting, never die, never give up attitude of the affiliate marketer. So, do yourself a favor, sign up at the forum, either the free sign up or the one time lifetime sign up of $37 (Its called the "War Room" and its where all the heavy hitters in the industry hang-out). As the expression goes: "You wont be sorry."
