Ben demons here. Like many of you guys, I used to work a full-time job while trying to figure out this whole "internet marketing×´ thing. My first dealings with it came from the Rich Jerk Ebook back in 2005, and from there I was hooked. I tried things like Adsense arbitrage, Bum/Article marketing, blogging, forum marketing, buying banner ads, and the list goes on and on...
At the time I was working 3rd shift as a hotel desk clerk. It was usually very boring and quiet, so a friend of mine let me borrow his crappy laptop so I could surf online all night. This is where I spent most of my time digging into internet marketing.
To keep a long story short, I met someone who told me about building affiliate review sites. He told me that it's one of the only sure-fire ways to make a buck online, so I gave it a go.
My 1st review site took me only 2 days to create and I made over $100 in the first month. That's when I knew I was onto something. I started learning more about basic copywriting, and I spent a lot of time reverse engineering other peoples' review sites to see what they were doing. Since then I have created a simple to follow system for building these review sites. In fact, one of my review sites has already paid me over $46,000 in commissions!
