The Nicher

For years I’ve wanted to be a writer.  Sometimes it was fiction, sometimes non-fiction.  Last year I began to focus more on the freelance side of writing.  Particularly web content. 

Then a few months ago it hit me.  What does a web content writer do?  They write content for (usually) affiliate marketers to put up on a site, slap a few ads on it, and make a load of money either off of the ads, or by selling the site.  So why couldn’t I do that?

 Well, problem number one is that I can’t code to save my life.  Ask me to to build you a site from scratch and I’ll happily call the men in white coats to take you away.  Still… I kept plugging away at my blogs and paid posts and trying to figure out little things like how to put YouTube videos into my posts and stick ads in the sidebars.

And little by little, I began to learn.  Of course, I still can’t code.  But with some terrific software available (WordPress for one!) I started to realize that I don’t need to know how to do that.  And more programs crossed my radar.  I’ve purchased one, downloaded others…. and I became addicted. 

Rather than bore the freelance writers and novelists that follow my other blogs, I thought I’d start up another to track my successes and failures.  As well as to have a spot just to talk about affiliate stuff.  I love it!  And if you’re new to affiliate marketing, or even site building, I’d love to have you join me.  Drop me a comment and we’ll work on this together.
