It has been a little over a week since my introductory post letting you know that I was setting up my first niche store. Well, the site is now around two weeks old and has hit a major milestone.

I have sold three Super Nintendo Console’s (some including games), and with the 7 day cookie that the Ebay affiliate network provides, I have made three totally unrelated sales (cell phone battery, A Disney movie, and some skin care cream).

Long story short, the big news that I wanted to share with you is that I have earned $6.85 in commission from the Pepperjam ebay program on my Super Nintendo Console website.

This is just a quick followup to my Weekend Updates post. My blog is nearly fully functional after last weeks “mishap” where all of my files got deleted. At any rate, that is all water under the bridge now.

My blog is back, my posting will continue, and all is good. Aside from a few OIOPublisher fixes that I need to make, if anyone notices anything still acting funky, please let me know. Thanks everyone.

I just wanted to send off a quick message to let everyone know what is happening around here lately.

The most obvious change is that I moved my domain from MixedMarketArts.com to CollinLaHay.com.  I had a friend of mine redirect the domains. I was going to have him add a few plug ins at the same time, however, he accidentally deleted my entire site…. (Whoops?).  At any rate, I have the most recent backup in place, but all of my plug ins were disabled since I am using an older backup of my theme.

Finding a good affiliate network oddly enough is not that easy to do. There are just so many factors you have to look at and know about so you don’t lose money or get taken advantage of. One thing a lot of us affiliate marketers look at is how much can we make with a certain network. Well, how does $150.00 per potential lead sound to you?

I did an in-depth interview with Ahson Rafiq from Blueverse yesterday.

Here is the new CollinLaHay.com logo.  I wanted to keep it simple and focus more on the blue to contrast the orange of the site, and I think it does a great job of that.  What do you think of it?

BlogOnExpo launched a few days ago, but just as I imagined it went by without many people hearing about it. BlogOnExpo is a free online conference which tries to emulate the sessions that you hear about at a real marketing conference for those that cannot afford to fly to them all. The only problem with BlogOnExpo is that the whole reason people go to conferences isn’t for the 30 minute sessions/speeches, but is rather for the networking with the people you can meet.
