A few of you may remember a rather cocky post I did a while back about my Text Link Ad eBook and how I expected to earn at least $100 promoting them; today I found out that if you have TLA Inlinks installed, you can’t participate in their affiliate program. Now, I don’t have inlinks installed here, but on a soccer website that’s never been updated, and I’d been earning a couple bucks from it; that seems to have removed the tons of potential affiliate offerings as at least five people told me that they had signed up under my link. Argh!

Guess someone won’t be gloating too much in the future, although there are still a ton of people to send it too so here’s hoping. If you haven’t signed up with TLA and have no idea how to, please take a look at it over here; sign up or else… :lol:

Apart from that I’m finally looking at getting the eBook site up… today or tomorrow. Heck, the later the better looks like. I’ve been wanting to get it off to a start ASAP but now the hype is died down I’m not sure what’ll happen. If it turns out to be a waste of time, someone’s going to be pissed… :twisted:

Congrats to my amigo Mark Walsh who sold his eBook and accompanying site at $1.05k; not bad for a lazy arsed bastard. Next time, I’m definitely listing at SitePoint; quite a few people have had success there and I think that had I listed there the first time, I would have gained quite a bit more. Ah well, you live and learn I guess.

Short post today; I’ve got a tonne of work and gotta wake up early to go shopping too. How fun, eh? Will put in a longer one tomorrow, for sure ;)

    Yeah that really sucks! Now if TLA would ever approve my sites.. do they not allow forums or WTF?

    Anyway congrats to your amigo Mark!
