Hi James
I really wanted to thank you for the great info in your manual back in 2004. I studied that monster over and over again for 5 months! I printed it out and took it everywhere…to the laundromat, to the park, and even to work. I even went so far as to record it on cassette and listened to it while driving back and forth!
Sounds nutso but that’s what it took for me, complete and total newbie back then to get things through my head.
James, I was really scared but still followed through and that one little site I started after I learned about affiliate marketing through your manual has earned me well over $80,000 US since early 05.
I couldn’t have done it without your help.
Many thanks,
Pat
