...poorly, at first. I would encoiurage a newbie to begin the process of doing something, anything?

Start a discussion board, build their own site, start a newsletter, but do something.

Places to visit would be the various helpful boards, the freewell, associateprograms.com, williecrawford.com, Julie's excellent site, and of course here and Steve MacLellan's site too.

Jay Abraham has a great site as well as Mike Enlow too.

> Well I doubt this is much help to you
