Bootstrapper Notes

The Buzz has been drop kicked!

I have been a subscribe to the Affiliate Buzz by James Martell since earlier this year - but I cancelled my subscription last week.

I won't go into details on why, so lets just say I was REALLY tired of it!

I have instead turned to the PodCasting world for my drive time information.  I have a few really good ones that I will gather together and share in another post.

Google Adwords Tips

I have been playing around promoting some Clickbank products,  I am currently running 5 campaigns, and one seems to be giving a nice positive ROI.

I was browsing around the Clickbank Success Forum tonight and ventured off to a blog from a link in one of the posts.  On that blog I found a great post about the Top 10 Adwords Mistakes.  I learned one really great tip - so I thought I would pass the link along.

More on what I am doing in the next post...

List of tools I use

Just in case you didn't notice it, I added a list of tools that I use when I put together a new affiliate site.  See the right hand column, at the top.

I won't relist them here, but they are quality tools that you should definately look into.

I have one more that I will be adding soon - and it is really good!
