Today's progress consisted of taking a prewritten Secret Affiliate Code review template, modifying it and posting on a landing page at the domain I've registered, secretaffiliatecodesystem.com.
Honestly, though, I really believe the majority of my success affiliate marketing the Secret Affiliate Code will come through articles, reviews, etc. driving traffic to the affiliate link. That remains to be seen, of course. For those of you who aren't familiar with it, Google Analytics is a fantastic tool, one which I'll be using to track all my websites I create. I've used it for several years and have always learned a great deal from it. Just about anything that can be measured regarding web traffic is covered, with a simple, easy to use interface.
The Secret Affiliate Code project is moving along pretty well so far. Everything up until now has been preparation. Tomorrow's efforts will begin setting the stage for traffic to start. I hope to see a few dollars generated by the end of the week, so we'll see...

Is the Secret Affiliate Code a Scam?
I guess there will always be someone to yell "scam!" every time a new affiliate marketing system comes out. I've received a message asking if the Secret Affiliate Code is a scam. I can tell you, without a doubt, that it is most certainly not.
I understand the skepticism. I've bought a couple of affiliate marketing ebooks, affiliate marketing systems, etc. over the years that were an absolute waste of both time and money. Usually they contain nothing more than widely-spaced content that any fool could have put together, with a few fancy graphics and screen shots sprinkled through.
The Secret Affiliate Code does not fall into this category. It provides a very clear, step-by-step
affiliate marketing plan. I have no doubt it will help me generate money, and fairly soon. No, it is not a get rich quick scheme. No matter what you hear or read, there's simply no such thing as getting rich without working for it (short of hitting the lottery!). It may well be possible that the Secret Affiliate Code system may make me rich, but certainly not overnight, and certainly not without some work.
Affiliate marketing is a business, and as such, requires you to treat it like one. It requires planning, attention, research, and so on. Any so-called "guru" who tells you all you need is a ClickBank ID, slap a few links around, and wait for huge checks to show up is just trying to sell you something. ClickBank is a perfectly good outfit, but it's certainly not an automatic payday.
At any rate, if you are planning to buy the Secret Affiliate Code, you can do so without fearing you've fallen victim to some affiliate marketing scam.

Step One... Reading, Reading, Reading the Secret Affiliate Code
Well, what little free time I had today (and late last night) was spent reading and re-reading the Secret Affiliate Code ebook. I continue to be impressed by the system. As I stated before, it doesn't just give you a pile of pieces, but puts them together in a comprehensive affiliate marketing system.
I've decided to promote the system itself as my first affiliate marketing project using the Secret Affiliate Code. I know there will be other purchasers doing the same thing, especially since that's what Craig Bekta uses as the example in the book. This doesn't mean, of course, that the methods can't be applied to any affiliate product. My next major affiliate marketing step, in fact, will be promoting some other, entirely unrelated product.
Well, my wife's birthday is this evening, so this post will have to end now. If you're already considering purchasing the Secret Affiliate Code product, I'd recommend you go ahead and do so. Craig is selling the first 1,000 units at a reduced price, and even has a little "hidden code" on his page that will give you an additional discount if you crack it (it isn't hard).

And so the Affiliate Marketing experiment begins...
Well, here we go. After several years of very casual dabbling in affiliate marketing, I'm finally going at it seriously. All because of one product.
In my previous affiliate marketing efforts, I never saw a cent come in, or even any decent website traffic, for that matter. Granted, I wasn't putting a ton of time into it, but even a little effort should produce a few results.
I continued to read and research about affiliate marketing, partly out of curiosity, partly looking for ideas to implement for my one-time employer as a national marketing manager. My theory for adapting affiliate marketing techniques to our traditional health care business was born out of the assumption that the affiliate marketers are the trailblazers of online marketing.
While researching the latest affiliate marketing trends recently for my own newly-founded company, I came across a new informational product called the Secret Affiliate Code. The pitch sounded interesting, so I took a little plunge and purchased it (I say little because it is very affordable, and frankly would have paid a lot more now that I know what it contains).
The Secret Affiliate Code system is, simply put, fantastic! I had previous knowledge of certain parts of it, however Craig Bekta (the author) has put together a product that not only shows you all the pieces, but gives you a comprehensive guide to putting them all together. The material got me excited enough to start implementing the affiliate marketing techniques it outlines and start this blog to chart and share my progress.
Now I will NOT be attempting this on a full-time basis. I am also in the process of launching my own brick and mortar service business, so it goes without saying that will keep me very busy. I think this fact will make this affiliate marketing experiment MORE relevant to most of you, in that nearly everyone who starts in affiliate marketing does so on a part-time basis. And I admit that using the title of Future Affiliate Millionaire Experiment may be setting the bar a bit too high, but why not? Even if I only did 10% of that over the next year or two, that's still a lot of money! Then again, maybe I'll make myself a Secret Affiliate Code millionaire quicker than I ever imagined.
