Affliate Marketing for the Average Joe

So Affliate Marketing is definitely not my area of expertise but I love Viral Marketing. Mostly because I love buying things. This used to be a problem for me when I was younger (read poor) but coupon codes and affliate programs help me rationalize my shopping. Hey I'm saving money it's a deal! Currently, I'm working on getting this tacky ads off of my homepage. I'm visiting some of my favorite sites to see if they have affliate programs (waiting for my AdSense account as well). Lulus.com uses ShareASale. Sign-up literally took 3 minutes and they have ad creative ready for you. Which is smart - you don't want to destroy your brand by having non-professionals messing around with valuable assets.
