As the new year has rolled in, I've been thinking about the direction I want to take things this year.
To me this new year brings me great excitement as I look forward to the new things that are coming. Increase.
I have many high expectations and goals for this new year and plan on hitting record figures multiple times this year as I hope many of my readers will as well.
See, the great thing about affiliate marketing is as you continue learning more and more about affiliate marketing you learn ways to make money in greater and greater amounts. Sure it's a lot of work. Sure it's tedious (at times), but it really has a huge upside. And it seems things actually start to get easier as one piece of the puzzle unfolds unto the next.
So for those who are just starting, thinking, "I cannot understand this," don't worry, it does get easier the more you do it.
For me, affiliate marketing isn't my only project and goal this year. I am branching out a bit more into the world of white labels, e-commerce stores, and becoming an advertiser. These are all areas that you don't want to venture into without a good knowledge of affiliate marketing but it's the natural progression and can lead to big income.
That being said, what are your goals? What new projects do you aspire to make / create?

Your goals sound a little bit vague, I hope you have written down some more detailed goals for yourself! Best of luck in 2009!
I want to create a king network in weight loss sector.
I think you need to add some objectives to your goals in order to really make sure that you are on the right path to accomplish them.
Hi Jon,
Good luck for 2009, I know you have specific goals and focus to accomplish them.

How did you end up doing with your goals last year? With your huge numbers at the end of 2008, I’m sure you generated that $1 million you were hoping. How did the others go?
Interesting post about affiliate marketing. I have set my mind to all out doin affiliate for this year. Let us see how much we could get from this channel.
awesome! I have been doing other projects as well, slowly diverting from aff marketing. i guess once you get an understanding of how aff marketing works you want to venture into other territories to test your skills.
Hi Jonathan,
My goal is to come away from Affiliate Summit West 2009 with amazing motivation and ideas to begin PPC and other methods to become a huge Affiliate Marketer.
Do you ever contemplate ‘joint ventures’ with other marketers?
I would be interested in discussing this with you at the appropriate time. I have limitless stamina and desire to succeed, as you have so ably demonstrated these qualities yourself!
To a prosperous, healthy, safe and fun New Year 2009!
Respectfully, Nicholas Chase

I’ll get local affiliate profits up to $150,000.
I’ll have 2 different profitable niches for local affiliates.
I’ll have a dedicated sales person in each niche up from 1 dedicated in 1 niche.
I’ll fire myself from a job I’m doing every month and outsource everything that can be done 80% as well as I do it.

Hi John,
“And it seems things actually start to get easier as one piece of the puzzle unfolds unto the next. ”
Your words remind me of my early days I started Internet Marketing. And I totally agree with you on this, everything looks like a puzzle and it get easier the more I ask and the more I apply my knowledge.
Looking back to my past, I was so confused where I’ve to start and what I should be doing. There are plenty of opportunities to make money online.
But now I’m quite settle and as my goals for this year :
- I am planning to more focused on developing and marketing my own products - a software.
- Learning more about PPC-CPA
Hey, thanks a gain for the post.
