Episode 034 Transcript 6 Reasons Why Affiliate Marketing Is The Best Way To Start An Internet Business I mentioned in the last episode of the podcast that I was heading down to my grandmother’s and I’m on the road headed to Houston from Dallas. I’m actually currently in Farris, Texas. Looking at my schedule I thought with everything going on during the holiday weekend and all the stuff I have going on for the short work week at my day job next week, if I don’t create some content prior to next Thursday I’m going to be late yet again with the next episode of the Mason World Late Night Internet Marketing Podcast, and I didn’t want to do that. We’re going to talk about a couple of things during the podcast today while I’m on the road. I wanted to do what I failed to do last week and give you an update on the corn sheller site and the snoring site that we’ve been working on. If this is your first time listening to the podcast you may not be aware that I’m live building a couple of affiliate sites. One is at CornSheller.net and the other one is at URL that I haven’t disclosed but it’s around the keyword of snoring solutions.
