I plan to split my income by 30% affiliate marketing and 70% web design and development (over 10 years experience). I hope to alter these percentages towards affiliate as I enjoy more time to concentrate on my own web sites. I have a plan and am confident... but my fingers are well and truly crossed! Great post.

It's a completely different Industry to the one I started out in, but as is demonstrated by <a href="http://www.lammo.net/learning-affiliate-marketing/212/newbies-need-a-kick-up-the-arse-talk-to-frank" rel="nofollow">smingle's advice</a>, there are virtually endless possibilities online now - If you can think of something, then you can sell it. All you need is a little imagination, and a little hard work. Hi Tony, thanks for the kind words :)

I have a question: Do you think you would be able to increase your earnings like that if you were starting now in 2009 rather than 2001? I mean is it more difficult now with the increasing competition or is there even more opportunity available now if you look for it?
