Hi y'all!

Tamara Riddle here from the Raleigh, NC area.

I've been selling stuff on eBay for a couple of years in addition to working a full-time job and being a single mom. I enjoy doing eBay, but it's very labor intensive.

I've been interested in and studying affiliate marketing and just kinda watching how the different affiliate business models progressed and evolved over the past several years. I wanted to become more involved with affiliate programs, but knew it would take hard work, time and determination to be successful at it just like any other business.

Because of all my other obligations, parenting my daughter, working at my JOB 50+ hours a week and doing eBay in the evenings and weekends, it took me a while to figure out how to work becoming an affiliate and promoting affiliate products into my very full schedule. Now that my daughter is almost grown, she graduates high school in a few weeks, I've found a bit more free time to devote to marketing affiliate products.

I put up my first two websites marketing affiliate products about six months ago and have been driving traffic to them from my eBay auctions. I also joined ClickBank, CJ, BeFree and LinkShare around the same time, but so far have only made a few sales with LinkShare and ClickBank products.

I read everything I can find on internet and affiliate marketing and enjoy trying out new software tools to help in my business. I've tried my hand at Google's Adwords and found it fun and exciting, but not profitable just yet. I'm going to keep trying and testing my ads until I get it right.

I'm thrilled to be a member of the AssociatePrograms Forum. I found this site thru the Site Build It Resource HQ. I'm a fairly new SBI site owner, which is my third website, and I'm a 5 Pillar affiliate. My SBI site is devoted to do it yourself home decorating ideas, a favorite hobby of mine. I've only had time to put up a handful of pages, but have much more to add when I can find the time.

I'm always searching for and trying out, free and low cost software tools and information that help me in my business endevors, is there somewhere on this forum to post or read product reviews?

I hope I can be of service to this community!

Talk to y'all later!
Tamara
