Here's a great article about news blogging that I found interesting.

I started to wonder, how many folks actually get their "news" from the Internet these days opposed to the paper and tv?

I don't personally watch or read any news, unless it is brought to my attention by friends or family and I think it is a story worth knowing more about.  But I choose to keep as much "negative" energy out of my life as possible, and news is rarely good!

02:11 pm: The Most Common Affiliate Mistakes
When it comes to affiliate marketing, us bloggers, have visions of "sugar plums" dancing in our heads....when we first start off!

But then some weeks, or months later, we sit there, wondering what in the heck did we do wrong?  Way wrong in some cases!

The top 3 affiliate marketing mistakes made are:

1.  Choosing the wrong affiliate program.  We tend to jump on the "bandwagon" of what's "hot", in most cases, according to the affiliate company.  Bad move!

2.  Joining too many affiliate programs.   "More is better" is not always the case, and particularly when it comes to affiliate marketing.  Being too diversified will launch you and your affiliate marketing into complete chaos.  You'll be wasting time and losing money, daily by missing opportunities you could be taking advantage of with a select few affiliate products.

3.  Trying to promote a product we are not even using ourselves.  What ARE we thinking?  If you want to truly become an authority in your niche and gain your customers loyalty and trust, you must be providing self-testimonials of the products or services you're offering.

Many affiliate marketers makes these mistakes and have paid, in some cases, dearly for their actions. Don’t fall into the same situation, try to do everything you can, in the beginning of your affiliate marketing effort to avoid making these Top 3 Affiliate Mistakes.

Time is the key. Take the time to analyze your marketing strategy and determine if you are on the right track. If done properly, you will be able to maximize your affiliate marketing program and earn higher profits.
