I am about 3/4 done writing my book. I still have some more expenses before I can hope to make any money on it -- these include book cover design (around $400), printing a few copies to send to potential affiliates (about $50). I also may need to prepay some of the book printing costs before I sell any -- this may be a couple hundred dollars.
I came across some info yesterday related to marketing. It dealt with a method of increasing conversions on your website. Typically marketers use "split testing." A much more accelerated method is called "The Taguchi Method."
I'll spare the details, but I ended up purchasing some software called
Anyway, I was so impressed with the program, that I figured I could make some side income as an affiliate. I spent an hour or two last night setting up a Taguchi Method blog and then writing an article to direct traffic there. I also set up a google adwords campaign. The commission is 50%, so I'm hoping to make a few hundred dollars in the next month to help pay for the book publishing. We'll see.

I have been following your blog for a while........I have been enjoying it. I was intersted in Kaizentrack though, because I have also bought it......impressive isn't it? What do you think about Ciprian's non existent documentation though?? I have be in the I.T. industry for many years, and I just can't get with a software product with no explanation of how to use it!!! You say you are a coder!!! how about this for a starter idea? You write an e-book on exactly and I mean EXACTLY (step-by-laborious boring step), basically a user manual, how to configure, how to setup, and MOST importantly how to interpret the stats, I will turn that e-book into a multimedia presentation, then we can either have a site each and cross-sell to our lists or one site and using share-a-sale or Clickbank we can affiliate or something.....let me know of you are interested.
