Thank you Chuck.I have decided to try the text cash network.It's not fully launched yet but seems like something that could be huge.I've been reading/researching for years but never knew where to start.I still don't but I'm hoping alot more research and some hard work will pay off.

What is that, texting for payday loans?

No.This is a brand new company launched by Brett Hudson who has already launched some very successful companies online and is a multi-millionaire.It consists of advertising for big companies via text messaging.I would never get involved in payday loans.This company is brand new and does'nt even fully launch until December 12.I believe this is going to be huge.They say companies spend about 133 billion a year in the U.S. alone on advertising.People that sign up have to agree to receive 5 text ads a day so it isn't about spamming either.You should Google it and check it out and maybe give me your opinion? I'm not sure how much I can say in this thread so I'll leave you with that.Thank you for your response.Sorry it took so long to respond.

Never heard of him and this sounds like promotion. We have a full suite of advertising options but don't look well on those looking to get it for free!

Jamie when a newbie comes here for a first post and starts talking about some guru its looks like spam. You have to understand that many of these so called experts who make millions have done so by getting others to promote their information programs. They are remarketers and it amounts to network marketing.

Affiliate marketing is hard work and there is a low percentage who succeed to make millions. There are a lot who make good incomes or some extra cash. AM is attractive because you can work in your free time and the costs seem minimal. But it takes hard work and the only easy money is in screwing people over.

Follow your passions, read a ton here and dip your toe in it to see if it works for you.

I am a professional painter by trade

How about writing about DIY painting projects and what equipment you would recommend. There are many tool based affiliate programs and an expert like you could keep people from buying the garbage. Check out Ask Dave Taylor who turned his advice into a nice affiliate and advertising business.
