I made $2300 over the course of two months a few years back using Comission Junction through PPC arbitrage. I found the entire industry to be really spammy and full of scams (not so much CJ but ShareASale, AzoogleAds, Clickbank, etc)
1. Sign-up for CJ/Azoogle/etc
2. Digitalpoint.com for YAHOO/MSN/GOOGLE credit vouchers $200 in ads for $20.
3. PPC account (Google not reccomend for newbiews)
4. www.sherpastore.com/ to accquire matieral to read internet marketing case studies, understand landing pages, call to actions, etc.
5. html/css/design skills to create your own landing pages, crazyegg.com to understand user clicks.
Ultimatley its more work for less money than you would make at even a retail job.. but if you are serious I am sure you can come up with innovative ways to drive user to your links and maybe even sign-up for trials or products. I made the bulk of my earnings from Rhapsody sign-ups using obscure music genres on MSN. While the money seems okay -- you're likely to lose quite a bit while discovering a niche -- that is if this even works anymore -- I know google was starting their own affiliate network and i see information for arbitrage being advertised by gurus on CNBC at 3AM.
I noticed a bunch of people are using enom for email. I assume this is because of their hosted exchange. Does anyone have any experience with enom's standard hosted exchange and using it using mobile devices such as BB/iphone
The MacBook Pro line is solid, especially with the unibody construction. You also have the choice of running Windows and/or OSX. I converted after the Intel switch and haven't looked back.
