Recently, John wrote and article called Why I Am Not An Amazon Affiliate in response to a question I asked in an earlier posting (Working Four Hours A Week). I appreciate his excellent review of the Amazon Affiliate program and can see that he both reads and values the opinions and questions from his readers.
I myself am an Amazon affiliate although I have not made a significant amount of money from the program. With such a low payout and such high competition from Large Bricks-and-mortar store reward cards, there are too many distractions from making significant cash flow from book sales. That being said, if I’m going to write a book review that I find of value to my readers, I want to have the link available for them to find and buy. The most important thing I believe is to make sure a book review is high quality and not posted just to make an extra buck.
As you can see I am fairly new to the world of blogging and have learned a lot from John. My experience in the ‘real world’ is in web development, commodity sales, marketing, strategic consulting and real estate investment. As I develop and continue to post information to my website I look forward to receiving your comments and suggestions.

I read the post were you are mentioned by John. A great way to start your new blog, isn’t it?
