Just listening to the latest buzz and you mention about the link to hire authors. Just wondering if you could provide some info on doing that. I find that writing the articles the hardest thing to get started and I know you always mention that and keep motivating us to 'just do it'. But if there are others out there that will help with this task that would be great. Thanks, I really enjoy the buzz and I will see you at CJU! Oh, I quit my full time job exactly one year ago to do affiliate marketing as a full time hobby now and it better than ever now. My initial goal was $200 a day and I got there within 3 months. It's great eh? Best, Rob

I really appreciate you and James providing all the great knowledge and encouragement. Your products are the best on the market. I am in hopes I can attend one of your BootCamps some day here soon. Thanks again Arlene and please let me know if you have any questions. Tell James thanks for all his efforts and knowledge as well. Jeff Saville

I took your advice and employed a couple of writers to help me out and it is working out really well, in fact they are much better at it than me lol. By the way my first site earned me over $2000 in March so that has inspired me even more. Thank you so much for your guidance and inspiration. Regards, Heath, Melbourne, Australia

Please forgive the length of this email - but I figured it was the only way to thank you for everything you have done for us! My husband has been a JM student for almost two years now and sings your praises to anyone who will listen! He worked as a auto mechanic his entire life until he injured his back and couldn't physically handle that type of manual work any longer. After two back surgeries and many years of unemployment he continued searching for some way he could work from home. He has done everything from selling Peanuts to Beanie Babies by the side of the road (Bless his heart). Then he came across your course. In the beginning he didn't even know how to turn on a computer let alone send out an email now he is designing websites and doing search engine optimization techniques as good as the pros! We have only YOU to thank for this. God Bless you for sharing what you learned and making it affordable for people like us! Mary & Jamey, Jacksonville, Florida

It's been a while since we've talked. Audrey and I were chatting it up tonight, and it occurred to me that we should write you. You see, 9 months ago, when we started using your system, you were our sole guide and mentor - we knew jack about affiliate marketing. Since then, even though we affiliate marketing is only a small part of our internet business, because we've followed your system, we're earning more than $5,000 a month solely from affiliate marketing. And we only do it a few hours a week. Without sounding too sappy, you've been instrumental in changing our financial lives, you've taught us more about search engine optimization than 95% of the other straight-up search engine material out there, and you've made it easy for us to make money referring things that we're passionate about. We're now a $28,000 a month company, and nearly 20% of that revenue is directly related to you. So.....THANKS! And stop selling your hand book please!!!! :) Just kidding... Warm Regards, Andy Jenkins

I can't thank you enough for sharing your business. This has been such a wonderful opportunity for me. My son is moving back home from college in Colorado to learn the business, and will be here tomorrow! He wants to build two or three sites, and let it fund his college education so he won't have to have all of the student loans or work the long hours as he finishes his college education. Bronwyn Bamber

July was a record month for me! Just above $US22k. Yesterday was also a record day for me - it was 1.5x what one BC Hydro paycheck would have been....those poor souls slaving away at Hydro that perceive what I am doing is riskier than relying on a job...several of them will be seeing layoff notices in the next few months. We have sold our house and bought another - there are still subjects to remove on both the sale and purchase but if everything goes through we got above list price on our house and will be moving to a new house which is currently being built. The master bedroom is huge with a fireplace and huge tub - hopefully this doesn't cause more babies :) There is also a better layout for kids play area and work at home. I kept the Rich Dad Poor Dad ideas in mind when buying a new house. I avoided the temptation to get a huge liability - I had built a few sites that were dedicated to a mortgage payment so I have an asset already in place to offset my new liability. I'm really loving this new lifestyle - new car - new house and trips to the beach with my daughter whenever I feel like it. Thanks again for your mentorship in getting to this point! Gotta go to the beach with my daughter :) Colin McDougall

It appears the GURU knows his business well. Google AdSense started already on pace to create a record breaking month if this Keeps up. Thanks again for pointing me in the right direction. This is becoming way to much fun. Alan

Keep up the great work on the buzz. Very inspirational, I look forward to it every 2 weeks. I was quite surprised to even hear my name mentioned! You provide very worthwhile information. Lots of nuggets which get me thinking. I've taken it to heart. I've been recommending it to lots of people and know some have subscribed. A GREAT MONTHLY investment. Gary Antosh

I am just listening to the tail end of the latest affiliate buzz. It was by far the best I have heard, excellent information and Charles was great with a relaxed, interactive style. Stacey Becker

I have subscribed to the newsletter and I love it. You have a wealth of information which is motivating and helping me to build my second website. I submitted my first site about 1 month ago. Thanks, Rochelle

GREAT BUZZ.... I must have listened to it 10 times today while working!!! Lots of great and useful information. It's just taking the time to apply it. Your goal setting... Has already been completed on my desktop. I've known that for years but never took the step... THANK YOU. All the Best, Gary

I don't know if this is the right place, but Affiliate Marketers Handbook is a masterpiece. Brilliant. I really love it. Monte Meldman, MD

I wanted to write to let you know that I quit my job at Overture this week. My affiliate revenue is now close to $2000 a month. I'm still not at my $5000/month goal (which I've now raised to $10,000), but I'm getting there. But $2000 is enough to live on while I focus full time on expanding this business. Meeting both of you at the CJU conference was really a turning point. Thank you for taking the time to speak with me personally about the business. Anyway, I owe you both a debt of gratitude. I'll write again when I reach the 5K mark. Until then, best of luck to both of you. Adam Short

I just wanted to thank both of you for your help. I have secured and am happy about the #1 position in Google for two killer keywords, and top 10 in many other keywords. I appreciate the opportunity and "mentoring" you people have provided to me. Thanks again, Alan Zunec

"Cross-linking" was the problem??!! I was planning on doing just that with my own sites. I have never heard that this was a problem. Thank you so much for your response... it was so timely, and I'm sure it has saved me a bundle. It just proves that the $10 /mo cost for Affiliate Buzz is a tremendous bargain. Thank you again for your honest and prompt reply.  Best regards, Pablo J. Rivera, Tampa, FL

First of all it is long over due. I am deeply touched for your attentiveness and caring in my website business. I have had to wait a few days to respond to your wonderful email. As the words did not come til now! I bought a BMW on Sunday with cash and paid for insurance with cash. This was only possible because I am following your guidance in building websites. That is a dream come true. Rene Tse

I wanted to share with you about my latest - Break-ation...It really works!!! I took along a copy of the book you recommended on the Affiliate Buzz called The E-Myth - Revisited. You are absolutely right. A business changing book. About half way through I figured it out. Your Affiliate Manual is Your "operations" manual. If you follow the steps it works.  Thank you for the tip, Gary

I know you like hearing about new students having some success. Well, this isn't a big deal, but I wanted to let you know I got my very first commissionable sale yesterday. $11.00 through CJ. Don't spend it all in one place, right? :-) I started in Feb. of this year, so you called it right when you said to expect 4-6 months to get your first sale. Just about 4 months exactly for me. And I actually have earned over $100 from Google AdSense, but this is my actual first sale. I just wanted to tell you that I appreciate you so much. You gave me direction and a process. It's all I needed. In 2-3 years, I know you'll refer to me as one of your best successes.  Thanks again! John

Betty and I are averaging $250 USD a day now and your ebook was worth $10,000 to Us! The more sales I can create for you the better with or without a commission. Thanks again for all your help, friendship and teachings. Say hi to Arlene for Betty and I and we hope to see you soon.  Brent Truitt

As of Sept 12 affiliate marketing has surpassed what my job will pay for the entire month. Last month I surpassed my job income on the 22nd...It just keeps getting better and better. My debt is disappearing faster than I ever imagined possible. What I had figured would take 2 years to pay off has been paid in 2 months!!! This is simply incredible...the next step is saving a base of cash in the bank shortly followed by never working for a paycheck again. July's total: slightly less than what my job pays. August's total: slightly less than double what my job pays. September: Looking like it will be slightly less than triple what my job pays. Colin McDougall

You have answered so many questions I had with your previous AM Handbook. The backward links was a little confusing the first time around and the keyword density makes so much more sense to me now. I feel so much better about moving along with my first site. Thanks so much!  Linda

We need your help. Thanks in part to your extraordinary information in both the Handbook and the Buzz, our income is rising dramatically! (Now well over 5 figures a month.) We're ready to incorporate and have 2 quick questions: Do you still recommend the Nevada incorporation company shown on the Buzz website? We would really appreciate a referral to your accountant. We want someone who understands online businesses and Canadians incorporating in the U.S. Thanks for all you do, Sheila and Bob, in Sunny South Surrey

Terrific book. I have looked at affiliate marketing for the 6-9 months. Most of the material in your book is familiar to me. The genius of your book is the disciplined approach to this business. Your book brings the newbie up the curve very quickly. Give me some time and I will let you know how I am doing. Here's an atta boy and a pat on the back for a book that is well written and delivers on its promise. Regards, Duncan Seward

How wonderful it is to receive the new 2005 manual update at no charge. Thank you! I have so enjoyed following the escapades of the Shelby car. I must say I was emotional listening to the last Buzz and hearing how the Shelby arrived to its new home. Thanks for sharing that wonderful story of a dream come true! It inspires and motivates me and feeds me to keep going to achieve my dreams of financial freedom. The Buzz is a lifeline for me right now and keeps me up and motivated. I really depend on it to keep me positive and keep me moving towards success. I love to hear all the stories of success and achievement. It fuels my fire! Thanks again to everyone there. God bless you all. Warm regards, Maureen, Whitehorse, Yukon, Canada

I know your always going on trips so thought you might get a kick out of this. Only someone who does what we do would get a kick out of looking at a building with a sign on it. I spent the weekend in Silicon Valley, what a trip that was. Seeing in person Yahoo, Google, Oracle, Ebay, Apple, HP...etc, etc. ...walking through Stanford University and seeing where all the venture capitol firms are ... conveniently right next to the campus ... basically seeing where everything started and where it all happens ... for me it added the actual mass to all the stuff I look at every day on the computer ... it was really cool. Also, here's a picture of the Porsche I was able to buy thanks to affiliate marketing ... with my construction truck parked right next to it ... in the paper for sale. Best, Paul Nagel

I bought your copy of the 2002 handbook back in July of 2004. I have read it through several times but as of yet I have not put it into action. To my surprise I saw just recently that you put out a link to download the new 2005 version of the book. I did download it and again I am going through it with a fine tooth comb. I wanted to let you know that I like what I see. The new updates are very timely and do answer questions I had from the old version of the book. Reading the new book has re-inspired me to jump start my own goals and to get busy in the affiliate marketing business. Kudos for a great job on the update and I hope that I can possibly see you at on of the CJ functions in the near future. Brad

Hope you and Arlene are doing really well. I wanted to let you know that Betty and I netted over 12,000 CDN last month. Once again I want to thank you for all your hard work, and talent. Your ebook was the "big bang" for us you and your teachings were instrumental in changing our lives. Well, gotta run, Brent

I am writing to just say "thanks". I made my first affiliate sale today (can you hear the champagne cork popping?). The other reason I am sending you this email is to document what I am doing. Like I mentioned in the email below, having a game plan spelled out has made this whole process much easier. I wouldn't have made it this far without it. Do you know how many times I have just about said forget it, I can't/don't/won't do this? Getting up early in the morning to crank out one more web page, spending my lunch hour researching one more keyword, forcing myself to write one more page at times has been a challenge. Worse yet, is me being me - wanting to do things a little different than what is spelled out in a easy-to-follow format. Anyways, I am writing this email to make myself accountable. It's amazing what you can accomplish when you put your mind to it - and when you write it down! Regards, Dave

Great book. I am completely engrossed in following your plan as per the book. Am currently doing my research and narrowing my categories to 3. Great stuff, Bruno Hoffman

The business is treating me unbelievably. I would like to secure more sites. Thank you for assisting me in my online business. I have secured the number 3 position in google for the word "phone free" with 10.1 Million competing. Not bad for a few Canadians, eh? Please pass this onto James and the rest of your remarkable staff. My work, life, balance has changed hugely due to your tremendous help. I am beginning to see what living the dream is like. Thanks, Alan

James, I bought your book in March 2004. March 27, 2004 my first website went up. Anyway, I had my best ever day yet with making $180 yesterday. I just thought I'd share that your system does indeed work. Christine

I read through your table of contents and the first pages of your ebook. I have to say I was impressed with your no-nonsense, no-BS style. Your table of contents seems to cover everything in a step-by-step fashion, which is a refreshing and needed change from other similar ebooks I've seen. And your emphasis on simplicity, organization, focus, and schedule makes sense of the potentially overwhelming amount of 'internet marketing guru advice' out there. Thanks, and I look forward to reading the entire ebook. Kathy

I just finished reading your e-book. I only have one word for you: BRILLIANT! Thank you very much for sharing the knowledge.
Best regards, Grace

I just wanted to e-mail you and tell you that I just got my first sale, $75 from VMC satellite through CJ! The sale actually was made on June 14th but it didn't register until today on CJ. I now can get rid of all skepticism and really put everything into this business because I know it works! Just wanted to thank you for writing your manual and giving me, and I hope many others, the opportunity of a lifetime! I have a feeling that you will soon be selling many copies of your program. I know quite a few people who are looking for a job or career change. Thanks again, Jordan Klause

I just wanted to share with you how giddy it makes me feel when people like you are willing to actually service their customers. Be well! AJ

If you are looking for a testimonial for the buzz or whatever, I made over $4700 in January! Cheers, Kevin (In Aldergrove)

I must say that I was surprised when someone telephoned me to check up on the problem. I don't get many 'phone calls from Vancouver. Perhaps you did not realize that I live in Scotland - in the far north of Scotland in the Shetland Isles, in fact (that's where the little Shetland ponies come from, incidentally). Kind Regards, John

I must say that it is the first step-by-step book that takes you by the hand and lead you down the path to a successful affiliate site. Your Student, Reggie

I want to tell you that it is truly a manual and the finest one I've seen or read. I spent nearly two months before I decided to buy your book, but it is worth every penny and then some. Keep up the good work and may God bless you and your family. Sincerely, Phillip

It is my record day today US$1600, not bad considering I didn't do any work today! Hmmm, that job thing would have paid me about US$100 to do 8 hours hard time. Colin McDougall

I just wanted to let you know that you have made my decision of purchasing James' product much easier. You are prompt and informative when answering the questions I had. I really appreciate that. James is very lucky to have someone like you in association with him and his product. Thank You Very Much, Cindy

Just wanted to welcome James back from his travels to Cuba. Hope you and your son had a great time. It’s a trip I want to make some day, and would love to hear any tips for traveling there. Your help with our affiliate marketing business venture have been much appreciated. Just this weekend we finished #1 at Google.com for “Canadian Credit Cards.” It is very satisfying to see your system work as advertised. Bruno and I are grateful for everything you’ve done to counsel us along the way. As you said (over and over and over), it just takes time. We’re beginning to see our hard work pay off. It’s fantastic! Thanks again for your kindness and generosity. All the best, Frank Klassen

Many thanks for taking the time to answer my questions in your audio file. Its refreshing to see that despite operating a successful business, considering how busy you are, that your prepared to take the time to help someone! I can't imagine some of these "Internet gurus" who seem to focus on automating there business with no contact to the outside world doing the same! Many thanks - I'm a UK guy based in Shanghai - if your ever out this way (and its well worth it-a fascinating country) drop me a line-you have a friend in China! As we say xie xie nee (many thanks), Rob Lee

My credit card site is making about $10,000US a month right now and my satellite site about $4,0000US. I also have another 3 websites that are starting to gain good page rank. I don't tell anyone exactly how much I am making, but I thought I would tell you so that you are encourage that your program is working for other people. Since I was the first person to make a website from your book, you can use this as a success story. God bless, JK

My name is Ed Keay-Smith from Perth, Australia and I am a new affiliate of your book and also a new customer of the book and your Affiliate Buzz audio program. Mate I have to say that your book and audio program are without a doubt the best on the subject of affiliate marketing that I have read and listened to in the past 2 years. I have been dabbling with affiliate marketing on and off over the past 2 years but I never really had a road map or blueprint to follow until I purchased your book. WOW what great content and easy to follow format. All the pieces of the puzzle have finally come together in the one place. You have inspired me to the point where I have decided to come to the 2005 Commission Junction University event in September. I have just finished booking 4 nights at the Fess Parker Resort with my wife Lois and 6 year old daughter Sasha in anticipation of booking my place at the event. (I hope it will be held there again, just a guess at this point.) I have been in touch with CJ and they have informed me that the event will be open for bookings around the first week of July. Thanks again for your inspiration. See you in September! Kind Regards, Ed Keay-Smith

Thanks James, but I have already purchased your ebook before the weekend. As it was a Bank Holiday here in England. I spent the time printing the book out and getting "organized" as you suggested. Very impressed. It is so good to read a book written by somebody who has "done it and continues to practice what they preach". Well done excellent value for money. But then Alan Gardyne only recommends good material. If he says it is good it invariably is worth reading . Unlike so much material that is out there at the moment published by 18 year old "Gurus" who have only days experience, producing work of no substance at all. Thank you for restoring my faith in internet marketing information. Best Wishes, Terry Ackroyd

Thank you for the new updated manual. Lots of things have now been made clearer. I particularly appreciate the fact that you have given this to subscribers without any cost to us. Clearly a lot of work has gone into this new update without any any recourse to yourself. Hope you enjoy the party for the 'unveiling' of your Cobra. I hope it will bring you many hours of joy and fun that you so deserve.  Patsy

Thank you for your fast and personal reply to my question. I just wanted to say how much I'm enjoying the concise, detailed, structured and well-thought-out aspect to the manual. The really interesting thing to me is how when I just follow the baby steps, and don't question the process, the thing you've asked me to do makes total sense 10 pages later, even if I don't understand why you've asked me to do it at the time! I think it's only because of your methodical approach that I feel I can trust your content to deliver for the next step in the chain. Again, thank you for putting together such a comprehensive information product with such detail. I'm enjoying the Affiliate Buzz as well... a brilliant idea for re-motivating and re-invigorating the process on a daily basis. Regards, Jason, Perth, Western Australia

I just received my e-mail from you this morning. With the new updated 2005 version of James' handbook. I quickly read the updates and I want to say "thank you" giving this free to me. I really appreciate it very much. It's certainly timely from my point-of-view. I didn't understand Google AdSense ads – and I was wondering what to do with the spaces in my template where these AdSense ads go. So now that understand them better I'm going to join ASAP. Thank you again for your support. Bye for now, Bev

Just a short note to say thanks to all you guys. We made our first sale today. No, that's not quite true. We made our first two sales today. Thanks again. The system works. Robert

Thanks for the great freebee about Google. I own a pharmacy and have owned several retail pharmacies in New Zealand since 1979. Now in my 50's, I am a little weary of the responsibilities of running 7 day a week retail businesses. I have reduced my hands-on involvement down to 3 days per week, and have been researching other income opportunities & came across your manual "Affiliate Marketers Handbook". You have demystified the internet and its marketing opportunities. Keep up the good work with the affiliate buzz, I have downloaded them all onto CDs & listen to them in the car......very informative. Kind regards, Alan, Auckland, New Zealand

It has been a good learning experience. Your course has helped to clarify exactly what is needed to become search engine friendly. With that as a foundation, I can now begin to build my reciprocal links base and take over the world. Many thanks, Bill Elliott

Just a quick note to say that your support site, with the searchable question-answer database, is just awesome! I've bought and read your manual (which is of course, outstanding) and am currently implementing its ideas on my first site. And I must say that the responses on the support site have increased my understanding significantly. Not to mention giving me more confidence in the struggle to build my first site! Thanks a ton for your help! Warm regards, Sanjeev Mariveettil, India

I think they are great, and the best on the market. Thank you again for all the help over the years; I highly recommend your excellent products. George Morfopoulos

I already listened to the Vancouver Live mp3 and am watching the Intro video. Tell James I think they are great. Already picked up some good points from the mp3. I look forward to the same from the videos, and already think this is one of the best investments I've made for the future of my business (which I am just starting). Thanks! Bob Blakney

I can't wait to read the new version. I'm so excited about my new venture in affiliate marketing. I don't know why I didn't do this years ago. I've been writing websites for my real estate business since 1993 (using Notepad and HTML coding at that time, then FrontPage, then Dreamweaver, then I recently discovered user friendly XSitePro that puts the others to shame). What a waste! With my knowledge of website building, I could have been light years ahead by now. Oh well. Thanks to James who has become my mentor and motivator! He lights my fire!  Linda Chartier

Love the new manual. A lot easier to read and understand than trying to combine 1stwave with 2ndwave. Going thru it and trying different things. Jerry Christie

This version of your manual is far beyond previous editions in content and directions. Great job.  Ed Price

Very inspiring, thanks Bronwyn. I have been online for a little over 12 months now and started out down the AdSense track. Twenty four sites later and just into the four figures a month I thought I was doing well. I have always said James' Affiliate Handbook is the best product I have read since being online. Duh! Bronwyn has just re-emphasized to me I need to start practicing what I preach! Thank you Bronwyn for sharing your story and to you James for being one of the trustworthy guys out there. Dean, Atlanta, GA

All of the interviews in the Coffee Talk series have been great and each helpful in its own way but these two interviews with Bronwyn are really where the rubber meets the road for affiliate marketers. Don, Barrie, Ontario, Canada

A final reason for to not give up. Refreshing and straight forward. Thanks again! JT Bo, Norway

The interview with Bronwyn has left me with two important things to remember. One, that a regular "non-guru" person can do it if she applies the correct methods to her site building and promotion. Two, that I should focus my efforts on just a few proven methods - e.g. using PAD for back links. I have been hearing and reading about so many tricks and techniques that it's so difficult to determine what actually works. Thanks, James and Bronwyn. Willie

As a relative newcomer to the Affiliate Marketing business, this interview was extremely informative and encouraging. Thank you for bringing folks like Bronwyn into our loop. I so enjoy listening and learning from people succeeding in this interview. Lord willing, maybe you'll be interviewing me in the next few years. :) Keep up the great work! Tim W - Virginia, USA

Great Coffee Talk! We had the opportunity to met Bronwyn at the first BootCamp. It is great to see that she has come so far in such a short time. She is one to watch. THANKS Bronwyn for sharing the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly. Really do appreciate you putting it all out there for us to learn. Gerald & Linda Lafayette IN

I very much enjoyed this interview with Bronwyn. I would say the biggest thing I took away from this interview, is the fact that a site could be put up in March and be so successful in November. I was also inspired by the story of someone who would take out a second mortgage on her house and then give herself a year to "do or die". This lady has the guts of a river boat gambler. I realize that Bronwyn is a good business person and would probably be a success at anything she put her mind to. I also realize that any one of us could duplicate this success if we are only willing to do what she has done. She's been kind enough to share exactly what she's done. To sum it up I was inspired by Bronwyn's story. Tony Pompano Beach, FL

I found the interview HIGHLY effective. I always appreciate it when James will ask the person he is interviewing to reiterate certain points, and in some cases request concrete real life examples of how certain techniques are performed. The interview with Bronwyn was particularly helpful in this manner. Sometimes I need a visual perspective so that I may grasp the concept thoroughly. I want to make sure that I have the correct "mental model" of how the technique is performed. I find that his interview process reinforces the proper "mental model" of how to go about executing various techniques. So far the Coffee Talks have been well worth the investment! Thank You! Christian Chapa, San Francisco, United States

Bronwyn's enthusiasm is infectious! It's apparent that she has worked very hard and is a “student of James' 8 steps”. It sounds like the “magic pixie dust” is working smarter and following the system. I am looking forward to future interviews with Bronwyn and James. Congratulations to you both! All the Best, Joel Smith

I can't thank you enough for the invite to the Bronwyn coffee-talk. It's exactly what I needed at this point. My story is very much like hers so far, having the fortune to meet you both at bootcamp, building a site, and watching it mature. Just a few weeks ago I received my first page ranking of 4 on my site. Woohoo! I'm hoping now that things will pick up and my success will increase. Hearing Bronwyn's successes AND failures have both been equally important to me, giving me direction and warning simultaneously. I can relate to some of her struggles, having fumbled a few things here and there. Her knowledge, personality, and experience shared is like a beacon to me in the midst of sometimes overwhelming circumstances in progressing this business. Thanks Bronwyn! And thanks to you James and Arlene! All the best, - Eric Nunamaker

At my next visit to an affiliate related event, I'm looking for the table full of food and Bronwyn Bamber! This is one of the most helpful coffee-talks in the series! Thanks, Bobbie Grennier

Fantastic interview, James! I've been studying your site and training program to see if this is something I'd like to do now during retirement. Your questions and comments along with Linda's expert explanations, tips and advice finally made Affiliate Marketing sparkling clear and sensible to me. Now I'm a believer! Steve Cypress, Texas USA

Wow awesome interview, you guys shared so much information. Deen, Singapore

Thank you. I think it's very helpful to learn about the evolution of the Web from the perspective of such an influential person as Linda Woods. Todd, Buffalo, NY

Very informative interview James! It was a great pick-me-up during an afternoon of article writing for my site. I'm feeling even more motivated to keep churning out quality content now. Thanks a bunch! Julie Detroit, Michigan USA

Thanks for the interview with Linda Woods, her very calm approach made her easy to listen to and I got a lot out of her story and how she got started in the business. Listening to Linda and You was very inspiring. I have had your book now for a while but I have just started to take action and these types of insightful interviews really help a lot. Keep up the great inspirational interviews. Scott Dill – St. Louis, MO

I found it very informative and a better understanding of your role as a publisher i.e. what to do - signing up with a merchant and your role with them. Also the different routes to take when you advertise and what works for you as a person. I would like to see where you can go to see examples of other people's affiliate sites that are successful to get an idea when putting your site together so that you know your on the right path - its not for copying just to see what they have done so that it clicks in your mind. Linda Dalles

The interview was very informative and encouraging. Enjoy listening to what the affiliate managers where looking for. The suggestion given was priceless. Looking forward to the next interview. Thanks Katrina M. - MD, USA

Loved the interview, it was a real eye-opener! I will definitely be calling my affiliate manager and I'll be armed with some good questions and advice from Linda. I've already implemented her advice about text linking on my site. Thanks James, can't wait to hear some more. Denis, Pitt Meadows, BC, Canada

Thank you so much for providing a sense of support through the ideas and successes of others. This different perspective was helpful to realize we really can be part of a team. It helps reinforce the truth of this as a business and incentive to continue to learn. (Back to my manual I go) Jil, Maryland, USA

Hi James: I just listened to your 'interview' and found it very interesting. There were things brought to light that would probably not be addressed in the "buzz" sessions because they were so specific. Sometimes, this type of information is required to get you thinking 'specific' rather than 'general'. For example, placing ads on your page. Most times I simply try to find pertinent ads and place them most often at the end of the page where the 'merchant links' section was originally set up in the template. But as was mentioned, you need to think about how the 'power marketers' are doing things. As well, some of the information was a re-iteration of your concepts - in someone else's words. This adds credence to your concept. I look forward to the next installment. Best Regards, Brian A Schmidt

Excellent. We got a lot out of this interview. Lots of real little gems in this interview like the blue linking for instance. I am also really starting to see the importance of dealing directly with Affiliate Managers and have just started to do so. It seems like everything is starting to gel for me now - its like a light has been turned on and its all coming together. Paula & Wanda, Australia

James, I really appreciated your interview with Linda Woods of PartnerCentric.com. Her personality came through and made the content more interesting than a text based interview would have. I would like to see MANY more of her calibre interviewed. You are in a unique position to get the leading affiliate luminaries to consent to being interviewed by you. Make this your "calling" James!! Regards, Dennis Main, Wichita, KS

Success stories are always very motivating, and that's how I found this interview. Good job, and very informative too! It's great to know there are people out there in key positions willing to help you succeed. Nancy, Ottawa, Canada

I found your interview with Matt very inspiring. It gave me a different perspective on the role of the affiliate network. I had no clue they as well as the merchants themselves could be helpful sources of information. For some reason that just didn’t occur to me. I love these interviews as well as the buzz clips. I download them and play them on my mp3 player on the way to work. They are helping me get back up to speed in my affiliate business again. – Jim R., Long Beach, CA USA

This has been great. It has reinforced what I have heard from Linda Woods and Ros Phillips. They all seem to be saying the same things - "we are here to help so give us a call". Paula, Australia

Very informative and motivating! Enjoy listening to the interviews on my way to work. Having the interviews takes some of the fear away from talking to the managers. The light bulb comes on to let you know they are people too and want you to have success. Thank you for this chance to learn and grow in the affiliate business - K Morgan, USA

What a great thing. Informative and reassuring, I look forward to these sessions as well as the buzz with a huge amount of thankfulness to have voices in my office telling me it's ok to fear, and just get over it, because it works if we do. -JIL, Maryland, USA

James, Great interview. I so enjoy your interviewing style. 1. You ask a question, then let the interviewee answer without interruption. Perhaps interjecting only to clarify a point. 2. You don't put words into the mouth of the interviewee. 3. You don't repeat what the interviewee just said. 4. You don't assume aloud what the interviewee is about to share, thereby requiring said interviewee to correct you. I'm really excited about this series and look forward to more. Robert W. Bakersfield, California, USA

I just finished listening to the interview with Matt. I was very impressed with the first interview but this one was even more interesting and informative. I didn't realize just how much help is available from the affiliate managers. You've got a winning thing going here. Keep up the great work! Best regards, Brian A Schmidt Ontario

James, Matt's information is so encouraging! We are so new to this whole concept...and it makes it seem so real and do-able instead of so overwhelming. Thank you for helping us keep perspective! Jeanne/Steve Bloomington, MN, USA

Another great interview. Really demonstrates the importance of cultivating your relationships with the affiliate managers and how they are there to assist us. Great point on applying to too many programs at once and getting overloaded. I like the idea of really building up one relationship and then moving on – big mistake I made in the past. These interviews have really made me look at the whole business differently – in a good way. Thanks, Linda M. – B.C. Canada

I thought Ros Phillips added very valuable insights and powerful information for new affiliates as well as more experienced affiliates. She's a powerhouse, that one! I blogged about the help she's giving me as an affiliate of LinkConnector ... Bobbie Grennier, Affiliate Blogger, Santa Cruz, CA

Thanks. A lot of important information in this interview for me is managing to get the point home, that it is a good idea to contact my affiliate managers for support, marketing information and advice. Telephone contact may well be a source of important information that i have over looked. This was re affirmed in my thinking by the BootCamp on Wednesday night. I will listen to the interview several times to really get the most out of it. Clayton Palmer

I really enjoyed the interview with Ros Phillips from LinkConnector. She's very knowledgeable and gives great tips on how to succeed in this business. I'm new to affiliate marketing, so it's reassuring to know that there's so much support out there for affiliate marketers. I'm a big fan of your monthly Affiliate Buzz and enjoying the new Coffee Talk interviews. Thanks! Christy - Honolulu, HI

I am just loving these coffee talks. Just the little bits of valuable information that come up are brilliant. Keep them coming! Paula, Australia

Very informative! Ros gave a lot of good information. And the importance of attending some affiliate conferences available to help grow your business. Many ideas were given on how to succeed with a strong support base from your affiliate manger. Thank you for another great interview - K Morgan – MD USA

I'm just watching the videos for the bootcamp and am truly impressed by the content and quality of the videos. Glenn Coleman

Hope I find you and James doing well this weekend. Just a note to say thank-you for your help on this past Friday. I've been reviewing the videos and they are simple outstanding. Ken Banks

Have also managed to preview some of the contents - and I think it's really great! (difficult to find this kind of information elsewhere....) Thanks for the great work and product! May Chew

The videos look great and I'm excited to go through everything. Once again, thank you very much for your wonderful customer service. James Scott

Talk about a Flip-Flop... Twice! I registered for James' BootCamp. Then de-registered. Then registered again. That's when I got it right. In the past, I've attended several seminars with multiple speakers. None came close to James' powerful, articulate, hands-on, gritty presentation. He's by far the best Instructor I've been privy to hearing... and grasping. I'm a slow learner. But James makes things simple to understand. Would I attend another Martell BootCamp as a refresher? In a heartbeat!  Darryl Ruff, Kelowna BC Canada

Thanks again for the fantastic experience! If you’re ever in Chicago or Lake Geneva Wisconsin, please give Tim and I a call and we’d love to show you around our towns.  Thanks again, Susan Chody

I was pleasantly surprised to hear that you are doing another live training in June. Chris has said about 100 times "wouldn't it be nice to attend another bootcamp, visit with Arlene & James again, and see more of the White Rock/Vancouver area"? Needless to say, she (and yours truly, too) had a great time at last year's boot camp. Chris has said that trip was one of the "nicest things we've shared" in our 30 years of marriage. No small feat! Ed and Chris Price

Thank you once again for your hospitality, and especially for the visit to your home and the wonderful trip around Vancouver. It really is such an interesting and beautiful city. Once again, thanks for everything, my regards to James and the family.......really enjoyed the short ride in the Cobra from the Sandpiper to Charlies! Alan Blyth

I believe my experience at this BootCamp was the best investment I've ever made in myself, my family and our dreams. The networking I was able to do with as many fantastic people and the personal presentations of the material by James and the one on one time we were able to have with James. Arlene and the experts he brought to the camp. This opportunity has energized and motivated me to get to the next level of my affiliate marketing career. I'm confident in my future success now because of me BootCamp experience. Thank you very much, Denis Vaillancourt

Excellent, in depth and informative. Clarifies content in the manual and proves we all have the knowledge and abilities to succeed in affiliate marketing.  Howard Hood

The BootCamp has been a 3 dimensional version and experience of your manual. You make it come alive. I can't wait to get back home and get started. Thanks for the lessons. Santiago

I think it's essential to have read the book before attending. I hit right at a great time having made a site and having pulled out some questions to bring to camp. Not only did I get clarity, but conversed with fellow publishers, sharing tips and inspiration. It's all very motivating. Thanks so much!! Eric Nunamaker

First class! Great presentation excellent stage presence, good use of time. Idea: Virtual/or more examples (visual) what is a good website (showing articles, inbound internal-external etc. and a bad website) Well done! Keep up the good work. I feel your work is about helping people... good stuff! God bless you both and your children. May all your goals come to fruition.  Laurie Watkins

This BootCamp really has enhanced the book and the buzz! There were questions and roadblocks that I had and being here has answered them completely! I feel clear, empowered and knowledgeable. This was well presented, well organized and very informative. Thank you for the opportunity. It is going to revolutionize my life and my families’ life. Thank you! "42" means so much more now!  Rhonda Morin

I walked into this BootCamp with many missing puzzle pieces. With each person I spoke to and with the strong analogies from James and others my puzzle is quickly becoming a complete image. Thank you!  Christina Jaramillo

To review the 8 steps of the affiliate marketing manual in the group environment brought clarification and enlightenment to all aspects of the business and definitely gave me the boost to get it done. Thank you. Daryl Marples (long time friend of James & Arlene)

I received significant value in walking through your methodology to develop quality websites that rank high in the search engines naturally. Many things to absorb and try to implement our web strategy, Thank you. Roman Gill

BootCamp has provided me with a clearer vision on the opportunity in Affiliate Marketing. What has come to light is that in order to be successful one must share their business relationship in their dreams for success. Well done. This is a genesis opportunity. Sheldon Smollan

The information and education I received by attending BootCamp will enhance my business. BootCamp exceeded my expectations and I look forward to applying what I've learned - and know I will see results. I highly recommend James Martell’s BootCamp. Pamela Kwatkowski

The past 3 days were truly amazing. I learned SO much, became re-motivated and re-inspired to continue my publishing business, I've lost sight of my dreams over the last couple of years - I can see them again now. Thank you! You guys are great friends, we feel truly blessed to have you in our lives. PS Our kids love you and your family too! Thank you for this great experience. It was invaluable. Julia Mahler (long time friend of James & Arlene)
