One of the things I have been thinking about now that I am out of a job is whether I should get into creating and maintaining websites and generating an income from affiliate marketing.
. . .The first thing I have done is signed up to some of the major UK affiliate networks. . . .
Why me ?
I am interested in this because I have got the analytical mindset to spot trends, optimise the websites etc as well as the creativity to exploit ideas and opportunities as they arise. I know I've got a lot to learn but now I have some time to get my head round it all. I think I will stick to the travel industry to start with at least, as it should be there I can most easily create useful content to encourage a loyal set of visitors.
What is affiliate marketing ?
I've got some experience with this from when I worked in the travel industry. In a nutshell it's where a "publisher" puts an advert or text link on their website and the "advertiser" rewards them for that - usually on a performance related basis such as % of sales.
Even if I can't make enough headway or get too bored with working from home, then the experience it will give me can only help me in my job search (example, someone kindly sent me this job the other day) and frankly I have nothing to lose at the moment.... What swings it is the move to Spain as this way I can get going on something straight away and have some continuity when I come back.
