Hi Everyone. My name is Matt and Im new to this site. I've been interested in affiliate marketing for quite awhile probably since around 2007ish. I read a lot back then but never could quite figure out how to begin. After all these years have gone by the itch to start my own business in this realm has never left but the discouragement I felt back then has kept me from returning and trying again. Its taken a long time for my desire to succeed to outweigh my fear of failure. As I began to research again into affiliate marketing I was led to this forum and I was filled with encouragement once again. I am certain that with all the knowledge within this forum that I will be able to finally start taking action and not just spending countless hours reading. I look forward to my time here and hopefully to develop beneficial relationships in the future.
