My next million dollar idea is in the works. The latest is that I finally signed up for my first official affiliate for my Forward Motion Studios website and my jewelry site. What the heck is an affiliate, you ask?
An affiliate lets you share in the profit of a product you may already use and wish to recommend. At the end of this post I’ve inserted and Amazon partners affiliate ad. An affiliate relationship is the income shared between online advertisers and website owners, whereby compensation comes from the number of clicks, registrations, sales or a hybrid model of these.
Some of the best affiliates for website owners are -
1. Amazon Associates @ affiliate-program.amazon.com
2. Commission Junction
3. ClickBank @ www.clickbank.com
4. Revenue Street @ www.revenuestreet.com
While continuing to grow our online ventures I took a moment to realize the online resources I use on the path to success.
Some of the best entrepreneurial-help websites are –
1. Entrepreneur.com
This is my first stop when I have a question, concern, idea or just need to know I’m not the only one banging my head against that entrepreneurial wall.
2. Inc.com
As a casual reader of their magazine, I really love their Business Advice section online. If I am stuck on a decision about business direction, or want to get a straight answer I will jump over here first. The fact they offer an “Ask the Expert” option makes you feel like you have a safety net. Or at least a trampoline.
3. Guy Kawasaki – guykawasaki.com

4. Timothy Ferriss – fourhourworkweek.com
What would you do if you had your ideal life… NOW? The first time I read this question, it was a slap upside the head. Tim Ferriss’ book covers so many ideas, scenarios, recommendations and ways to build direction. His blog keeps his story going with new resources, online tools and success stories. The new and expanded book

And just to make me feel REALLY old, I ran across the list of “Top 50 Young Entrepreneurs Under 30“. Yeah, they started young, but now we have experience, right? Another thing I noticed was that the list is mostly male. OK ladies, we have to give them a run for their money. Literally.
Why did I choose so few resources to share? Taking advice from many of the gurus above, I keep focused on the information I take in, cutting out the extra noise.
Your next million dollar idea may need a few of these resources to get off the ground. If you are looking for the answers to your questions, odds are good you will find it on one of the resources above.
