Affiliate marketing: it works even when you don't.

As a newbie, I've been told that the best thing about affiliate marketing is that you own a store in a place that's always on, and your customers are everyone in the world who is online. Let's hear it for the internet!

Lots of transitions in my life lately. One negative is that I more or less ignored my blogs and Wealthy Affiliate life for two months. One positive is that I got to see that above promise in action.

One of my posts is getting over a hundred organic visits a week. It's on the first page of google. I've even gotten organic comments. And yes, some modest, out of seeming nowhere commissions at Amazon.
